Discussion Board Participation:
Each of you
are expected to contribute a minimum of two (2) meaningful responses to the
general discussion per day on at least three (3) out of the seven (7) days each
week. Your responses can be in the form of comments ("nice job" does
not count as meaningful); adding further questions for discussion, or
references to materials relating to the current seminar topics. Your responses
may also be in regard to journal entries other members of the class have
uploaded to each seminar or to articles you have read, or experiences you wish
to share that pertain to the current week's topic. THIS LAST ITEM IS VERY
IMPORTANT, AS YOUR EXPERIENCES ARE UNIQUE. BY SHARING THEM WITH OTHER MEMBERS
OF THE CLASS WE ALL GAIN FROM EXPERIENCES THAT WE MIGHT NEVER HAVE LEARNED.

completed Homework must be SENT to the Instructor's Digital Drop Box by
the due dates.
Journal
Entries:

prepare a journal throughout this course. You will send it to the appropriate

you have experienced. Comment on your experience with the topics covered during
each week. You must demonstrate that you have thought through the issues and
can propose solutions, or have developed insights, in keeping with the
discussions in the class.

Expect a substantial amount of work for this class this

Assignments will be graded as to CORRECTNESS, COMPLETENESS,

business-like manner.
Assignments cannot be assumed to be received until a grade
has been posted to the gradebook (The gradebook is updated three times a
day Monday through Friday)
Plagiarism and cheating WILL NOT be tolerated. Any student
Found guilty of either will AUTOMATICALLY receive a failing grade!
An "I" grade is given only when a small portion of the
course work is required to be completed. Student must have attended the first
seven weeks of the semester. If the work is not completed by the end of the
following semester, class grade will be computed with the incomplete course
work as 0%. This MUST be discussed with the professor.
Students
who OFFICIALLY withdraw during the first 3/4 of
the semester (6th
Week) shall receive a
"W" grade. Students may NOT officially withdraw during the last 1/4
of the semester, but will be given their earned grade.
