Discussions, assessments, and assignments will be graded each week. Students must submit their work online before the deadline to receive credit for their work. Grades will be calculated by converting point accumulations for each assessment using the table below. Students must receive a D or higher to pass the course.
Course Assessments
Student learning will be assessed by discussion posts, assignments, and quizzes. There will be a final exam at the end of the course.
Quizzes
Two quizzes will be administered during the session. You will complete each quiz online using Moodle. Each quiz will be considered open-book; you may consult all online course materials, or even external Internet resources. You are also encouraged to collaborate with your classmates currently enrolled, provided that you each submit your own quiz and no answers are posted as a discussion. You must submit each quiz before the deadlines posted in Moodle.
Discussions
Module discussions are designed to engage a student’s interaction with others in the course and provide constant, helpful feedback and assistance when dealing with various issues in online teaching and learning. Discussion postings should be courteous, thoughtful, and carefully written. To facilitate the discussion and prevent procrastination, two deadlines are scheduled for each discussion.
Assignments
These written items and online activities are opportunities for the students to demonstrate their abilities to apply the knowledge gained in the course, as well as from other education courses.
