I believe that you must practice the new tools and technologies you will be learning in this class so there will be a number of assignments designed to give you hands-on experience using them. Following is a brief summary of the assignments and other graded activities you will be completing during the quarter. There will be assignments, each worth 10 points. Although the assignments comprise 35% of your final grade, a student can receive a final grade no greater than a D if more than three assignments are not handed in. Assignments receiving less than a 50% score are considered not turned in. There will be a Final Project. These give you the opportunity to express what you have learned. The QuickBooks Case 9 Tuscany Landscapes Scenario, p. 9.44 will represent 40% of your final grade. There will be a Multiple Choice Quizzes, each worth 10 points. These quizzes are at the publisher site and can be emailed to: wvc.cec@gmail.com. These quizzes represent 25% of your final grade. All the assignments, reflections, and quizzes will be graded based on the expectations given, but additionally the content, organization, style, grammar; spelling, punctuation and language mechanics will be evaluated and included in the grading process. All the assignments, reflections, and quizzes have clearly marked due dates and must be turned in on time unless other arrangements have been made in advance with me. Late submissions will result in a reduction in the grade. Grades Grades can be viewed on the Course Home page in your Angel or Canvas LMS online course. It is your responsibility to check grades throughout the quarter and report grade discrepancies to your instructor. Keep all graded assignments until you receive your course final grade on your WVC unofficial transcript. Grade Categories Weight Grade Percentage Letter Grade Assignments 35% 95-100 % A Multiple Choice Quizzes 25% 90-94 % A- Final Project: QB Case 9 Tuscany Landscapes 40% 86-89 % B+ Note: All sections must be passed with a minimum of 80% to pass. 83-85 % B 80-82 % B- 76-79 % C+ 73-75 % C 70-72 % C- I expect students to communicate in a timely manner with me if they have unexpected circumstances that prevent them from participating in the class and submitting assignments. An Incomplete ( I ) is an option that can be considered if the students has communicated with the Instructor, is passing the course, has completed a significant portion (60%) of the course, and intends to make up the missing work. If this is the case and you need an I, a contract will be drawn up identifying the work to be completed and the date by which the work is to be completed. The maximum length of a contract is two quarters, excluding summer, as stated in Records and Grades for Wenatchee
Valley College. An I grade is changed to an F if the terms of the contract are not met within the time specified. The last day to withdraw or change to Audit status is stated on the Wenatchee Valley College Academic Calendar. If you stop submitting assignments without contacting me you risk getting an F in the class. Please process an official withdrawal if you can t complete the course. You can withdraw through Web Registration on the Student Kiosk. You can also download a Drop/Add Form to bring in to the admissions/registration office. Communication Methods Communication is an essential part of learning and is especially important in an online class. Here are the communications methods used for our courses. Email I check my email frequently and will respond to your messages within 24 hours, Monday Thursday. Elluminate We may conduct sessions with Elluminate, a free webconferencing tool. If sessions are held and you are unable to attend, they will be recorded and a link will be provided for you on the Course Website. Skype communication tool I currently use for real time discussion and assistance. UN: doltman.1 Discussion Forums A Q&A Discussion Forum is open in your course. You may ask questions of the Instructor or of your peers. Please subscribe to the feed if you would like to be informed of new posts. Instructor Expectations Online courses require students to be more responsible for their learning than traditional courses. I commit myself to providing clear instruction and high quality resources for you, but how much you learn will depend on the amount of time you spend on the class. Plan to spend approximately three hours times the number of credits for this course, per week on the course assignments. For instance: 3 hours X 5 credits = 15 hours per week. I am available for virtual office hours using the phone number listed in my contact information. If you'd like to get answers to questions, discuss coding problems, or get help with an assignment, you can schedule a time to call me on the phone. This has worked extremely well with former students and I enjoy talking with students in real time. I expect you to check your course in Angel or Canvas LMS and check your email at least 5 days per week so I can be sure you are aware of any announcements or changes I have made to the schedule. I expect you to contact me by email and/or voicemail if you re having problems with the course or encounter an emergency that interferes with your course work. I expect you to complete the reading and course activities on time. I expect you to submit your assignments, tests, and final project in the proper format. I expect you to use the Web and its resources in an ethical way. Please don t steal/borrow content from other web sites (images, photos, text, etc.) and make sure you get written permission if you do include someone else s content in your work. I expect you to follow the Acceptable Use Policy in all communications.
If you copy another student s work, you will receive a 0 for the assignment and will be reported to the Office of Student Affairs. I expect that you are able to complete the following technical skills to be successful in your coursework. 1. The ability to use email with attachments 2. The ability to save files in commonly used word processing program formats 3. The ability to copy and paste 4. The ability to work on two browser windows simultaneously Any student with a documented disability (i.e., physical, learning, psychiatric, vision, hearing, etc.) who needs to arrange reasonable accommodations is requested to contact Disability Services. Your contact will be Carla Boyd, Special Populations Coordinator, Wenatchi Hall, Room 2133. You can also call 509.682.6854 or TDD/TTY 509.682.6853.
