• Modules:

All assignments are organized into "Modules". Click on the "Modules" section on the left and follow each module

Modules are organized i sequential order- which means you must complete item 1 before you can move on to item 2 

Discussion Board:

Students are required to post on the discussion board weekly. This acts as your "attendance", students who do not post on the discussion board regularly are subject to being dropped.   You are given a prompt related to the class readings and you must reply to a classmate as well.

Your answer to my prompt must show your analysis of the material and offer depth. Your reply to a classmate must also offer depth and show that you have read and understood your classmate's posting, I will not accept "I agree with you...", "nice job..." type of replies for credit. 

In order to see your classmate's postings you must FRST post your answer to my prompt. This Discussion board is designed for you to show your understanding of the material in the course. 

Quizzes:

Each Reading requires a quiz. These are open book, and NOT timed. But, you must complete the quiz in one sitting. The questions are randomized from a large pool, so no two students will get the same quiz.

Writing assignments/ Blogs:

Some modules require witting assignments, named "Blogs". These blogs can be accessed directly from the modules as you progress through the work.

Late work:

I accept late work for partial credit. Your final grade depends on the total amount of points you earn throughout the course by turning in assignments, even if you turn an assignment in late, those points will help your final grade

Academic Honesty Policy: 

Students at Santa Ana College are expected to be honest and forthright in their academic endeavors. To falsify the results of one’s research, to steal the words or ideas of another, or to cheat on an examination, corrupts the essential process by which knowledge is advanced. Academic dishonesty is seen as an intentional act of fraud, in which a student seeks to claim credit for the work or efforts of another without authorization, or uses unauthorized materials or fabricated information in any academic exercise. In this course, an act of academic dishonesty will result in a 0 or F for that particular assignment, further acts of academic dishonesty may result in a failing grade for the course. In addition, all acts of academic dishonesty will be referred to the Dean of Students for further discipline
