Class Lectures and Discussion:
Requirements (see full syllabus for complete descriptions):
Assignments, Readings and Class Schedule (all sections): in the Assignments area of the class MyGateway site, or: http://www.umsl.edu/~keelr/010/010assign.html
Minimum Technology Requirements (especially, but not just for online students) and a variety of useful technology tutorials.
Final grades will be calculated based on a total of 500 points (530 points possible). Students who submit work past a due date are subject to penalties, point deductions, or not having their work accepted for grading.
72 hour rule: Grade updates will be posted in MyGateway throughout the semester. Students are expected to review their grades (and access course information) on a regular basis-- especially following a grade update. I work hard to let you know where you stand in the course at any given time--I expect you to show due diligence and concern as well. Concerns about posted grades must be addressed within 72 hours of grade posting, otherwise posted scores will be considered accurate and final, up to the time of posting.
Items included in calculating the point total (please be sure to read the entire syllabus, too):
NOTE: All course grades will be posted in the online Grade book in the class MyGateway site. Students can access their individual grades via the “My Grades” link located in the “Tools” area of the class MyGateway site. The grades in MyGateway are for individual tests, quizzes, and assignments only. The “current estimated grade” found in the grades area of MyGateway will reflect your current estimated grade based on available points at the time of an announcement indicating an update (NOTE: Test and Exam scores are not automatically included in the "current estimated grade." "Current estimated grades" will be updated with exam scores (usually) the day after an exam deadline, and an announcement will be made). Final grades will be based on the following scale:
