Charts are the most effective way to summarize course requirements. A chart is easily printed and ensures that students have a clear reminder of course expectations at all times. There are many different ways that weekly course information can be organized. This might be considered a time consuming process, but once the chart is complete, and if there are no changes to the course design in future offerings, then the only information that needs to be changed will be the course dates for the given semester. Three samples are provided below that demonstrate different approaches. Please remember that the following information is required in your chart: The week # and actual dates for the present semester, schedule of all weekly readings & assignments, due dates and relative worth of each activity.

Assignments
An extension of time will be given only if arrangements have been made with the teacher prior to the due date. Extensions will not be given if the request is made the day the assignment is due.
School of Health Sciences policy is that late assignments will be accepted but there will be a 10% penalty for each day an exercise is late up to 3 days late. After 3 days, the assignment will be worth no points but must still be submitted to complete this course.
All unit assignments must be completed. A student will not receive a passing final grade until all assignments have been submitted, even if the late penalty reduces the points possible to zero. All late submissions must be turned in by noon on Friday before the week of final exams.
All tests and examinations must be written on the dates and at the times scheduled. Students who miss these tests or examinations will automatically be given zero grades unless they can defend their absences with medical certificates, death certificates or court documents. Students are responsible for keeping all returned assignments and tests in the event of disputes over recorded marks. A student who misses a class is responsible for obtaining any handouts and information on course content, assignments, due dates, test dates, etc.

Business Math 1052 Syllabus and Due Dates
|
|
This course consists of 13 weekly labs and 4 Unit Tests. The due dates are listed below but I would highly recommend that you do not wait for the due date to submit the labs. Try to complete one lab each and every week! Once the course gets going there is something due each Monday so please plan appropriately.
Altogether the Labs are worth 15% of your final grade and are done on-line using a program called MathXL. It may take you a bit of time to get used to using MathXL but I am sure you will grow to love this system for submitting assignments. Detailed instructions are provided for you in the Assignment/Test folder in the Lessons Tab. You will not have to fax or email any labs, assignments or tests.
The first 3 Unit Tests are each worth 20% of your final grade and are also done on-line using MathXL. These assignments are timed (150 minutes) and you are only allowed to do them once. Please be sure to review all material before you begin.
Unit Test 4 (also called your final exam) is worth 25% of your final grade and must be done in-person. You must arrange a date to write your final exam at your registering college or a college near you during the exam week. You must book your exam time at least 4 weeks in advance. More details will be posted as the time approaches.
