Instructions for success

Hopefully, you have watched the introductory videos in order. Now you are ready for the world of independent learning. You must practice having a great deal of discipline to be an online learner because your teacher will not be standing behind you forcing you to pay attention. Please look at the calendar for to the right and above for due dates. You will notice that some assignments will be due fairly quickly because of the accelerated pace of this course, so use your time wisely. If you turn in late assignments, you will lose 10% off of the graded assignment for each day that it is late.

How you will complete your work:

For the most part, you will be given class time to complete the tasks so that you can work in groups. You are allowed to work in groups for everything except tests/quizzes. The reason behind this is two fold. The first reason is because you have to get use to the online environment so the best way to do this is by working collaboratively in groups. The final reason is because you have to be individually assessed so that I can understand who has mastered the standards, and who is still struggling.

How you will be graded

Currently each assignment category is equivalent to 20% of your grade, so if you fail to complete one of them, it will be hard to make a come back.
