This course will use a variety of learning experiences to attain the course objectives, including but not limited to: lecture, quizzes, online discussion, case study, assessment strategies, group and individual exercises, and team and individual presentation.
Discussions: There will be a discussion question/activity posted weekly by the instructor for course modules on the course Discussion Forum. Participation in the discussions is strongly encouraged and will be factored into your participation score. It is recommended to login to this course at least 4 days each online week. You are required to post at least 3 times each week. For the discussion board questions, you must answer the question 100%. The answer should be based on the knowledge obtained from reading the book, no just your opinion. If there are 2 questions in the discussion, you must answer both of them. Your grade will be an average of both questions.

Students are also required to know the expectations or etiquette that pertains to the discussion board. Students who abuse this forum by making harassing, inappropriate or abusive statements will be removed and receive a zero (0). Remember, your participation is essential to connecting with other students and developing an online learning community. Further, often it is the deciding factor between receiving a higher or lower grade at the end of the term. Discussion questions account for 10% of your final grade. Discussion Question (DQ) Participation Guidelines: Students must post a minimum of three times in each graded discussion. The three posts in each individual discussion must be on separate days, the initial answer and two responses to peers. The student must provide an initial answer to the graded discussion posted by the course instructor, by Wednesday, 11:59 p.m. EST, of each week. If the student does not provide an answer to each graded discussion topic (not a response to a student peer) before the Wednesday deadline, an automatic 0 will be issued for that weeks DQ. Subsequent posts, including essential responses to peers, must occur by the Sunday deadline, 11:59 p.m. EST of each week. NOTE: To receive credit for a week’s discussion, students may begin posting no earlier than the Monday at 12:01 a.m. EST. *Credit for peer responses will be issued via the DQ rubric if peer responses are made without an initial DQ response. *See Discussion Question (DQ) Rubric on next page (Rubrics contain evaluative criteria, quality definitions for those criteria at particular levels of achievement, and a scoring strategy). Discussion Question (DQ) Submission Guidelines: Students must submit their initial, weekly DQ post in two separate areas. First, the student will submit their initial response via that weeks assignment link provided under the assignments tab as a Microsoft Word document. Once this is done, the student will then copy and paste their answer onto that weeks DQ thread under the Discussions tab. Thereafter, all discussions and peer replies will be conducted via the DQ board. Failure to submit your initial DQ response to BOTH the assignments tab and the DQ thread will result in a 0 for that weeks DQ. Note: All DQ submissions will be monitored for plagiarism.

In cases like these, the Campus Dean will convene a Hearing Committee which will hear, investigate and render a report to the Campus Dean. This Committee will be composed of three members from the faculty or staff. According to the findings, the Campus Dean has the choice to make a decision. If this decision is not acceptable to those involved, a petition to the Dean to appoint an Honor Court must be signed by at least three people. The Honor Court procedure is explained in the Student Handbook.
Religious Holidays Religious holidays are an excused absence, but not beyond the day for the holiday itself. Students should make their requests known at the beginning of the semester and arrangements must be made with the faculty member for missed work.
