The forum will be posted weekly in Course Compass. You are to discuss the chosen topic using the ideas from the stated chapter. You will be required to post at least one original answer to the stated topic and at least one reply to another student’s answer.A reply is NOT “I agree” or “I don’t agree”. I’m going to be a little bit flexible for the first couple of weeks to see how this will pan out. The posts and replies should be thought out and have meaningful ideas. A post or a response must be at least 5 sentences long. There will also be a few (1 or 2) projects that will be assigned later in the semester.Make Up Policy for Tests - If there is a valid reason for missing an exam, the instructor must be notified in writing using email. The four Chapter exams cannot be made up and must be taken in the designated week. For those of you who have trouble with the designated day-please give me an email notice of your need to meet on a different day of the same week!CLASS ATTENDANCE : Class attendance is required only for the first day of class and the four Chapter tests . These will be proctored on campus and must be taken on the scheduled day at 11am in PS 007. Students must submit some work every week to be counted as present in the course. All work will be tracked in Oncourse.QUESTIONS - Since this is an internet course, there are no lectures or scheduled class times. You can always email me any questions either from Course Compass or to my [email protected] address (PLEASE do not use Oncourse to email me).
