This is a distance learning course. All instruction will come via Blackboard and email correspondence with the instructor. The final assessment must be completed by the sixth week of the course. Chat participation must be completed at one of the assigned times. Discussion board posts must be made by the fifth week of class.
Attendance is mandatory.
No automatic cuts are authorized. Absence from class will be reported to appropriate VA and military officials. Non-attendance will result in a failing grade. A grade of 'I' is not automatically assigned, but rather must be requested by the student by submitting to the instructor the Petition for and Work to Remove an Incomplete Grade form. An 'I' can never be used in place of an 'F' nor can an 'I' be assigned because of excessive absences, with the expectation that they student will make up the work by repeating all or part of the class in some subsequent form.
