Grading Policy
Grades for this course will be based on a 100 point system as described below:
Factors that May Affect Your Grade
-
Assignments must be completed on time and submitted by the due date. Penalties for late assignments will be assessed.
-
Incompletes are only given in extreme circumstances, as determined by the student and instructor.
-
Class attendance is required.
The punctuality with which you complete
assignments is a considerable factor in your grade for this course.
Please be aware that incomplete grades will not be given for this course
at the end of the semester simply because a student has run out of time.
Also, be advised that the instructor will not continually prompt you to
catch up when you fall behind. Collaborative, project-based courses such as
this one offer students a unique opportunity to work on real projects and
interact with real clients. As such there are real deadlines and real items
that students agree to deliver, the same as in an actual employment
situation. In exchange for this opportunity, students assume a greater
responsibility to be self-motivated and organized and carry their fair share
of the workload.
Feedback from the Instructor
As time permits, the instructor will offer
feedback on your submitted materials. Some of the feedback will be in
person, via e-mail, or in some cases, as part of the in-class discussion.
Some of this feedback will be through general observations about the
material submitted by everyone. Other feedback will be more individualized,
and will principally be in response to each students or student team's work
on their project component. In addition, students are invited to request
additional feedback when questions or difficulties with your project arise
or if you have any questions or concerns about the course.
Problems that May Occur in the Course
-
Students do not follow the assignment instructions. Please read the assignment instructions carefully. If you have any questions about what is required, please contact the instructor for clarification.
-
Students find it difficult to catch up if they fall behind. Keep in mind that the semester may seem long, but in reality the time goes by very quickly. This course is based on real work for real clients with real deadlines. It will require a great deal of work on your part as do many graduate level courses. Incomplete grades are not normally given at the end of the semester. It is expected that all work negotiated with the client and project facilitators and will be completed by the end of the semester.
-
Work that is submitted at the last minute usually negatively impacts the quality of the work and, thus negatively affects the grade.
-
Unanticipated events occur that limits the amount of time a student can spend working on assignments. If this occurs, students should communicate with the instructor as soon as possible to determine a workable solution.
