I NTERNET COURSES:
I n an I nternet course, students do not attend class in person. This does not mean that students are not communicating on a weekly basis. This is not an electronic correspondence course where you are allowed to set your own pace. We have target dates that have to be met in order to receive credit. Each week there will be chapter readings and I have presented my lecture notes for assistance. I f you are not prepared to participate in such activities on a weekly basis you should consider taking this course from another instructor. I have attempted to structure this course to foster a sense of community and to make this course a rewarding experience for students who are willing to participate in intellectual stimulating activities. Your progress in the course will depend on your participation to assigned tasks in a timely fashion

2. Discussion Board/ Forum: After students have read the assigned readings for the
current week, viewed each lecture for the week, the student will then participate in the weekly discussion board activity. I will post questions and students will respond to the question with an articulate answer. Students will also have to respond to a minimum of four postings by classmates on the discussion board for that week. The maximum score for a discussion board assignment is 120 points. We will have 12 discussions, each worth 10 points. Please note a response that merely lists the wording presented in a lecture (i.e., copy and paste) without evidence of critical thinking will not receive a passing grade for the assignment. Each discussion board assignment will have a listed due date. Students who do not respond to the discussion board assignment prior to the due date will receive a zero point assessment for that assignment. The breakdown is as follows:Total Posts: 5 Worth: 10 points Total Posts: 4 Worth: 8 points Total Posts: 3 Worth: 6 points Total Posts: 2 Worth: 4 points Total Posts: 1 Worth: 2 points Total Posts: 0 Worth: 0 points

Course Withdraw al : The deadline to withdraw from a course shall not exceed 3/ 4 the

Students may receive an outstanding bill from TCC if the recalculation leaves a balance due to TCC. Students who stop participating in the course and fail to withdraw may receive a course grade of “F,” which may have financial aid consequences for the student .
