assignments. Assignments may consist of, but will not be limited to, self-study, quizzes, exams, case studies, case presentations, discussion boards/blogs, and collaborative projects. Course faculty maintain final authority for the grade.

  1. Students who are unclear about assignments, expectations or any aspects of the course are responsible for making an appointment with the faculty to receive clarification in sufficient time to successfully complete the assignment.
  2. To successfully complete the course, students must achieve a 70% weighted average or higher on course assignments. At the end of the semester, the weighted average of course work will be rounded up if the final number is 0.50 or greater. For example, a final grade of 74.50 will be rounded to a 75; whereas, a final grade of 74.49 will not be rounded up, so the final grade will be a 74. An average <70% will result in a failing grade for the entire course.

8. Homework Assignments

Respond to each homework assignment using your individual data set and submit both a written response to the questions with tables and figures as indicated and the SPSS data output file with the analyses you performed.

Although you can consult each other in working on these homework assignments, everyone must turn in their own assignment.

You will lose 5% of your possible total for every assignment for each day or portion of a day late you turn in an assignment.
