STUDENT WORK POLICIES
Attendance
To receive credit for attendance in a given week, you must submit a graded activity in the Canvas course,
whether it’s a discussion post, assignment, or a quiz. Logging in to Canvas to access readings or videos is not
enough to receive credit for attendance.
Due Dates & Late Penalties
Graded activities, except for Discussion posts, are due on the last day of the Unit by 11:59 p.m. Discussion
posts are due by 11:59 p.m. on the dates specified on the “Course Dates” page in Canvas. If you submit work
after the due date, the grade for that activity will be reduced according to this schedule:
 1 Day Late: 10% deduction
 2 Days Late: 20% deduction
 3 Days Late: 30% deduction
 4 Days Late: 40% deduction
The instructor may only accept submissions that are up to four days late. Unless an Incomplete grade has been
granted, assignments submitted after the last day of the course will not be accepted.
Grading Policies for Discussions
Your submissions to Discussions are graded on timeliness, frequency, and quality.




Initial Posts. Unless otherwise indicated by your instructor, your initial replies need to be posted by the
date(s) specified in the “Course Dates” page in Canvas to get full credit.
Frequency. After your initial post, which should be substantial, you are expected to engage with and
reply to your classmates’ posts at least twice, for a total of (at least) 3 posts. In addition, maximum
credit requires that you post on at least two separate days for each Discussion.
Quality. Writing that you agree with someone’s post is not a good quality post. You should do one or
more of the following in your reply posts:
o Elaborate on comments made by others
o Provide additional information
o Present explanations of concepts or methods to inform fellow students
o Present reasons for or against a topic in a persuasive fashion
o Share personal experiences that relate to the topic
o Provide a URL and explanation for an area you researched on the Internet
