ATTENDANCE
The format of the class allows complete student control of their work
schedule within the confines of deadlines established by the course calendar.
All work is expected to be completed and delivered on time. Students not
submitting the first assignment on time will be dropped from the course.
After that, it is the responsibility of the student to drop the course if they are
unable to turn in work as scheduled. Contact the counseling center or the
distance learning help desk for drop deadlines and procedures.
Students can expect to spend approximately 12 hours per week reading,
doing homework assignments, and completing exams (midterm & final are
proctored).All students are expected to turn in homework on the original
working papers pages. This course is not delivered through the Etudes
program.
ASSIGNMENTS
Homework assignments from each chapter as well as multiple choice/short
answer open book exams are given. The Midterm and Final exams are
proctored. Proctored exams are available at the LRC, TCI Lab, and from the
instructor. Late work will have the score reduced by 10%. Students can
submit their work via U.S. postal mail, the LRC on campus, through the TC
aides at TCI, in person, or via the ETUDES course management software
(other than homework). Deadlines for homework and exams are defined
below. Assignments must be received/postmarked/submitted by the due
date. Late assignments will receive reduced points. Students who do not
meet the first assignment deadline will be dropped from class. After that it
is your responsibility to drop the class. Students may also be dropped from
the class if they are not making "continuing progress" defined as turning in
work as scheduled. Those wishing their work returned should provide a self
addressed stamped envelope for this purpose. Midterm and Final
examinations will not be returned. Graded exams may be viewed at the Taft
College LRC upon request. Grade information will be provided by email or
postal mail at your request.
