Attendance Policy:
If your goal is to earn an “A” in this course, you will need to logon and participate a minimum of 6 times in each graded discussion forum.
How much time will you spend on this course – and how often should you log on?
Expect to spend a total of about between 120 – 150 hours on this course – which includes textbook reading, online website research, report writing and online discussion. I expect you to log-on and actively participate in each online discussion on a minimum of six different days. To achieve an “A” or in this course, you need to submit 10 high quality posts to each discussion forum. Note: if you wait until the final day or two to submit your discussion posts, your grade will be penalized.
