STRUCTURE OF COURSE
Class Participation:
Online discussions open on Mondays and end on Sundays at 11:59 EST.
Participation is an important part of our online course and represents 20% of your course grade. Participation requires responding to the initial discussion question(s) not later than Thursday of each week, with high quality interaction with classmates throughout the week. Your response should demonstrate that you can apply the concepts learned this week. Participation is required on at least 2 days per week. Your instructor will post additional thread topics to keep the conversation lively and relevant. Participation grades will typically be posted within 48 hours of the end of each week and will be based on the quantity and quality of your postings. Points will be deducted for inappropriate responses in the forum. Examples of inappropriate responses include postings that are disrespectful of your classmates or your instructor.
Homework Assignments:
All assignments will be completed using Connect. The homework assignments are due in weeks 3, 6, 10 and 13.
Quizzes:
All quizzes will be completed using Connect. The quizzes are due in weeks 2, 5, 9, and 12.
Mid-Term and Final Exam:
The Mid-Term Exam will be in week 7, and the Final Exam will be taken in week 15. Those are the only requirements in those weeks. More details about the content of the exams will be provided prior to the exams.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
STUDENTS MUST SUBMIT THEIR ASSIGNMENTS ON OR BEFORE THE DEADLINES.
I am mindful of the busy schedules that each of you maintains. To make this experience productive and (I hope) painless for all of us, it is important that you communicate with me. Contact me well in advance of any schedule problems or conflicts that you anticipate (like vacations, etc) in order to work out a solution. It is very rare that I accept late assignment and only in cases of very compelling (and verifiable) reasons. Late work may be downgraded at the discretion of the instructor.
WRITING STANDARDS
Effective managers and leaders are also effective communicators. Written communication is an important element of the total communications process. This instructor recognizes and expects exemplary writing to be the norm for course work.
To this end, all assignments and correspondence must demonstrate adult-level writing ability. I am not unreasonable in this regard. Most likely, you will meet this requirement if you simply take the time to re-read what you have written at least once before posting. I also encourage you to write out your discussion forum posts in a Word document and use the Grammar and Spell check function prior to posting your response. Remember, the Discussion Forums are not Chat rooms or for text messages.
