COURSE SUBJECT OUTLINE (Major Assignments, Due Dates, and Grading Criteria)
|
See complete course schedule at the bottom of the syllabus.
|
As an online course there is no “Attendance” in the traditional sense of an offline course. Attendance is therefore not part of a student’s grade directly. However, attendance is necessary to satisfy financial aid requirements and for other purposes. Therefore, student attendance will be measured by participation in weekly discussion forums and submission of weekly assignments. Those students not participating on a regular basis will be deemed to not be “attending.”
Students will not be allowed to make up an examination missed due to absence unless they have reasons acceptable to the instructor. . Persistent, unjustified absences from classes or laboratories will be considered sufficient cause for College officials to drop a student from the rolls of the College. From Board Policy FC (LOCAL)
Last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is April 4, 2019.
