PROJECTED GRADE=  This means the grade you would receive if you were to continue at your current rate of participation and achievement. If you are not satisfied with that grade and want to improve on it then you need to improve on your performance.  If it is not clear to you what needs improvement contact your instructor and ask for clarification and advice.

FINDING your GRADES

Your grade is posted on " Grades "  Your grades are listed on the row with your CUNYFirst ID # on the left column." page.  The last four digits of the CUNY FIRST ID # are used.  Find those grades by going to the course menu or the left column and then click on "Grades"

 

So...how will you be evaluated?

Good question! Here is the answer and in a good bit of detail. First though, you should know that although all of this looks very imposing and somewhat daunting, the course is no harder than what occurs in the regular classroom. This course should actually turn out to be quite a bit of fun, if you are interested in thinking about things in new ways. All the information is being given to you at the beginning and it may seem to be a bit too much, but once you get a chance to look it over and reflect , you should see that it really is not that dissimilar to the standard classroom.

Expect to spend about 9-12 hours per week on this course in Fall and Spring and more in Summer!

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

The college has an academic integrity policy and program.  http://www.qcc.cuny.edu/Governance/AcademicSenate/COAI/Docs/Academic_Integrity_Document.pdf

You may be severely penalized for violations of academic integrity.  Learn about it and observe the principles.  Among other things you must avoid plagiarism.

In this course, the penalty for violations of academic integrity is as follows:
1. First offense - the student receives the grade of "0" for the assignment and the possibility of more severe action at the discretion of the instructor.
2. Second offense - the student receives an "F" in the course and a Violation of Academic Integrity Report is filed with the Dean of Students.

There are Internet research papers required for this course. One of the requirements for these papers is that you locate websites and incorporate information from these websites in your paper. You must not only properly cite all information you use, but you are also expected to put the information into your own words. Each paper has a required minimum length, and direct quotes from other sources are not counted in determining the "word-count" length of your paper.

 If your paper contains material that is copied or paraphrased from any website, or from a paper previously submitted that material will be identified. If it is not properly documented, or if the quotation marks are absent, the material will be considered plagiarized.
