Course Requirements Checklist
After reading the Course Syllabus and Student Expectations, the student will complete the related checklist found in the Course Overview.
Discussions (4)
Discussions are collaborative learning experiences. There will be 4 Discussions throughout the course. The purpose of the Discussion is to generate interaction in regard to relevant, current course topics. The student is required to post a thread of at least 250 words. The student will then post 2 replies of at least 100 words.
Homework: Connect Assignments (14)
In every other Module, the student will be assigned homework to complete in the Connect digital learning environment. At the end of the assigned modules, Connect will automatically grade all of the assignments and place the scores within Grade Center.
As a reminder, all homework is conducted in Connect, not in the textbook (though the homework is based off of the material in the textbook). In addition, Connect may be accessed outside of Canvas; therefore, any potential Canvas outages are not grounds for Connect homework deadline extensions. Save the link provided by the instructor before the course begins for future reference.
