ination. This step is essential!

· Completing a Online Survey of Student Opinion of Teaching

Reading Assignments:

Students will be expected to read the assigned chapters in the textbook and the weekly Introduction and Supplement materials. The Online Discussions, Homework Assignments, Self Checks, Quizzes and Final Proctored Examination assume you have read the assigned readings.

Class Participation (Online Discussions):

Students should visit the discussion area and place a minimum 3 constructive posts per week.

Homework, Self Checks,

 

and Quizzes

All assignments (including homework, self checks, and quizzes) should be completed on or before Sunday 11:59 pm Central time. Homework and quiz must be done independently. Do not post answers to quizzes or homework in the discussion threads.

Note that weekly quiz 1 is to be taken on or before 11:59pm Central Time on Friday of the academic week to receive full credit (i.e., 4 points) for each correct answer. Between Saturday

12

:00am Central Time and Sunday 11:59pm Central Time, each correct answer in weekly quiz 1 is worth 3 points. Weekly quiz 2 does not have this restriction.

Proctored Examination:

Final Examination – An examination will be taken in person during the 8th week of instruction at one of the Park University sites around the country or at an alternative location approved by the University where Park University sites are not available. It will be the responsibility of the student to arrange for a proctor, by the 6th week, who will be accepted and approved by the instructor. Guidelines for selecting an acceptable proctor can be found at the Park University website. For proctored examinations, photo identification is required at the time of the test. A proctor request form will be made available to you during the first week of class so that you can send your requested proctor to me for approval. Failure to take a final proctored exam (or submit your final project for some online graduate courses) will result in an automatic “F” grade. Some graduate courses may not require a proctored final examination.

Course Grading Scale:

This subsection should list the grading scale and weighting for all of the graded work during a course. The grading scale must use the following scale below, and point totals for each letter grade must be included (see example below).

 

Letter	Points	Percentage
A	1091-1213	90-100 %
B	970-1090	80-89 %
C	849-969	70-79 %
D	727-848	60-69 %
F	Below 727	Below 60 %

Late Submission of Course Materials:

All assignments and quizzes must be completed by 11:59 pm Central Time on Sunday of the academic week. There will be 20% penalty for each day that a homework is turned in late. Students are not allowed to take a quiz that is scheduled beyond its due date.
