Methods

This is a FLEX course, which means that you can start and complete the course at any point during the semester. However, it is highly suggested that you start the coursework as soon as you are able, because things always take longer than you think they are going to. And if you need help with the coursework, it is hard to squeeze that all in at the end of the semester. Based on past experience, If you have not started the course by Week 9 of the semester, it is unlikely you will finish successfully.

Assignments include reading the text / assigned materials, reviewing lecture materials, doing practice problems, participating in the discussion board and doing the homework and quizzes. This is a 1 credit course and requires about 3 to 4 hours per week.

Attendance Policy

Regular attendance and participation in classes are essential for success in and are completion requirements for courses at CCV. A student's failure to meet attendance requirements as specified in course descriptions will normally result in a non-satisfactory grade.

• In general, missing more than 20% of a course due to absences, lateness or early departures may jeopardize a student's ability to earn a satisfactory final grade.
• Attending an on-ground or synchronous course means a student appeared in the live classroom for at least a meaningful portion of a given class meeting. Attending an online course means a student posted a discussion forum response, completed a quiz or attempted some other academically required activity. Simply viewing a course item or module does not count as attendance.
• Meeting the minimum attendance requirement for a course does not mean a student has satisfied the academic requirements for participation, which require students to go above and beyond simply attending a portion of the class. Faculty members will individually determine what constitutes participation in each course they teach and explain in their course descriptions how participation factors into a student's final grade.

1. Provide disability documentation to the Accessibility Coordinator at your academic center. https://ccv.edu/discover-resources/students-with-disabilities/
2. Request an appointment to meet with accessibility coordinator to discuss your request and create an accommodation plan.
3. Once created, students will share the accommodation plan with faculty. Please note, faculty cannot make disability accommodations outside of this process.
