1.) Finish the required reading assignments. 2.) Listen to the weekly class lectures. 3.) Make a significant contribution to the weekly discussion board. 4.) Complete all class assignments and submit them on time.

The assignments total 1,000 points. Students that score 920 points or higher (92%-100%) on their assignments will receive an “A” for the course. Students that score 830-910 points (83%-91%) will receive a “B” for the course. Students that score 720-820 points (72%-82%) will receive a “C” for the course. Students that score 650-710 (65%-71%) will receive a “D” for the course. Students that score below 650 points (65%) will receive a failing grade for the course.

I will do my best to keep your scores up to date on the TBC website and through email correspondence. I certainly appreciate your desire to know how you are doing in my class.

Also, your prompt attention to these assignments will be factored into your final grade. It is possible to finish these assignments and this class with time to spare at the end of the semester.

I believe each student can do very well in this class, if he or she will keep up with the work and put forth a very good effort in the assignments. I hope to see everyone make an “A”!
