2 Assignment and Examination Overview Readings: Each week, a chapter and chapter slides are assigned for reading. Be sure that for each chapter, you execute and understand textbook s labs, Checkpoint questions as well as complete the Review Questions. Lab Assignment: For each chapter there is a lab assignment, hands-on activity that reinforces knowledge you learned from the associated chapter. These assignments are always due on Sunday nights by midnight. Discussion: Each week you will discuss a concepts related to a particular lecture (book chapter) with your classmates. Each student must post an original, thoughtful response to the discussion question(s), and respond to at least one other student s original response for each discussion. Discussion forums for each week will be locked at 11:59 PM on Sunday nights. Once the discussion has been locked, there is no longer an opportunity to participate in the discussion or to earn points. Quiz: There are going to be 6 quizzes. The quizzes will be timed, so you should study beforehand because it will be difficult to finish in time if you are frantically flipping through your book for the answers. Exams: There will be two (2) exams. Online Participation You are expected to regularly review the content of the course D2L website, read the assigned texts and participate in the discussions and other course activities each week. Assignments should be posted by the due dates. If an emergency arises that prevents you from participating in class, please let your instructor know as soon as possible. Attendance Policy Attendance will be counted as visiting the course D2L page, participating in the discussions and having posted an assignment during that week of the session. A class week is defined as the period of time between Monday and Sunday. The course and system deadlines are all based on the Central Time Zone. Communication You are responsible for monitoring s from the instructor (shrahimi@siu.edu). I expect that you check your s (the account registered under your Salukinet account) multiple times daily for important messages from the department or your instructor. Grading and Evaluation Criteria 2

3 Your grade will be determined by the percentage of the total points you get. The components of the course grade are: Assignments 30% Quizzes 10% Discussions 10% Exams 50% Total 100% Timeliness of Assignments It is expected that students submit all courses assignments in a timely manner. Specifically: Deliverables (assignments, discussion posts, quizzes, exams) must be submitted on or before the due date. NO EXCEPTIONS! Late Assignment submissions will lose 10% for each day late. Discussions will lock on Sunday night and there is no opportunity to make up missed discussions. Exams/ Quizzes must be completed within the window provided. If, for any reason, the student has a conflict that prohibits the completion of the exams during the open window, the instructor must be contacted immediately via . No makeup opportunities are provided; students must keep up with the weekly schedule. Letter Grading Policy A 90 % and above B % C % D % F Below 60 % SIUC Grade Policies: Incomplete (INC): An INC is assigned when, for reasons beyond their control, students engaged in passing work are unable to complete all class assignments. Students are required to apply, in writing, to the instructor for an INC. If the application is approved by the faculty member and should the student fail to complete the course within the time period designated by the faculty 3

4 member, not to exceed one year, or graduation, whichever occurs first, the Incomplete will be converted to a grade of F and the grade will be computed in the student s grade point average. WF: Failure. A grade of WF may be awarded to students who do not officially withdraw from class, cease attending the class, and fail to complete requirements for the course. When awarding a WF, the faculty member will note the date/time of the student s last date of attendance/participation. Course Drops: Students officially drop courses through the program change process. This process is done with the Program Advisor. Unless a student has processed an authorized drop from the course by the published Add/Drop Date, the student will not be allowed to drop the course. It is the student s responsibility to ensure that the drop process is officially completed. It is probable that a student who does not drop by the Add/Drop Date, but stops attending/participating during the second half of the course, will be awarded a grade of WF. Academic Dishonesty Policy Students may be subject to disciplinary proceedings resulting in an academic penalty or disciplinary penalty for academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating on a test, plagiarism, or collusion.
