Syllabus - Feedback for Students

Feedback for Students 

Throughout this course, you will be completing multiple projects, reading chapters from the text, and participating in critical thinking discussion forums. All of which will be scored and entered into the grade book. Feedback for these assignments varies, so here is a breakout of what to expect.

Assignment Availability

Projects, Skill Reviews, and Critical Thinking Discussions are made available one week early, however only the Projects and Skill Reviews remain available one week after the due date, as assignments may be turned in up to one week late for half credit. Although discussion forums may continue to be read, participation in a discussion is not available after the due date. Exams and quizzes become available the week assigned and are no longer available after the due date. 

Projects and Skill Reviews

These are due on Mondays at 11:30 p.m. On the day after the due date, I will begin scoring the submissions. All scoring for assignments submitted before the due date should be updated in the grade book by the following Monday. Full credit is awarded for a complete project that met the objectives, otherwise I will provide any comments or feedback I may have on the assignment in the comments area of the grade.

Quizzes and Exams

Quizzes and exams are scored automatically and you will immediately receive your score when you submit the quiz or exam. At the end of a quiz or exam, you will see which questions you may have missed. I do not show you the correct answer for any incorrect answers as I want you to research the question to find the correct answer. However, if you are unable to find the correct answer, let me know and I will help you find it.

Discussion forums

Discussion forums have two due dates. The first due date is listed at the bottom of the area where the discussion topic is presented. The second due date is on the following Monday at 11:30 p.m. Discussion forums are graded using the rubric posted in the Course Resources module and listed in the syllabus. Click on the How Discussions Are Scored link in the Course Resources module to view the rubric. Similar to the assignments, discussions will be scored during the week following the due date and will be updated in the grade book by the following Monday. I will provide any comments or feedback I may have on the discussion postings in the comments area of the grade.

 And remember the cry of online students...Don't Wait! Don't Procrastinate!
