Course Grading PoliciesPoints to letter grade conversion:- 90% above A- 80% B- 70% C- 60% D- Under 60% failing gradeThis breakdown is subject to changeAssignments, Tasks, and1750 (63%)DiscussionsQuizzes300 (11%)Group Project & Participation750 (26%)Total Points2800 (100%)Course Assignment, Examination, and or Project PoliciesHomework assignments give opportunity for you to demonstrate mastery of a learning objective. See theschedule for due dates. Instructions are found on WTclass. People will hire you for what you can DO, not justfor what you know. Because of this fact, homework assignments make up a significant portion of your grade.Plan accordingly to succeed at the homework assignments. Late assignments are not permitted. Summercourses are on too fast to allow late assignments.Consider a normal semester, 3-credit, 18 week course condensed to a 7 week summer course. That’s 6 hoursof class time each week during the summer. Add a few more hours for outside-class study and homework. Youcan expect between 6-8 hours per week. Make plans accordingly. There are also several group projects---afterall, this is a class about collaboration across distance and time zones.Course Topics - Tentative Calendar of Readings, Topics, and Due DatesTasks NumberingThe course is organized into 7 weeks. In each week, there are multiple modules based on a common learningobjective. Within each module there are multiple activities and tasks. Tasks are deliverables where you dosomething to show your learning, (e.g., homework, discussion, summarization, etc.). Tasks are numbers byweek by module and by ordinal number as follows. This lets you see in which week and in which module theinstructions and resources are to be found.Module Letter(usually A, B, or C)Week number(1-7)Ordinal number of thetasks“Task 1.B.2: Host a screen-sharing session for real-time collaboration”Weekly Schedule and Deliverables# WeekWeekTopicStartEndDate(Duedates)1MonJune 1TueJune 9Deliverables (e.g., assignments, quizzes, groupprojects, etc.)Start Here folder on WTclass has Task 0.0: Quiz on Syllabus (see \\Wtclass\ Start Here)lots of stuff about the course3
