Houghton Mifflin, 1993. Students read lessons online and in required textbooks. Through the class's online forum, students join classmates and the instructor in asking and answering questions and sharing comments about the lessons, and about published essays. Students write a variety of formal short essays, at least one essay-type examination, regular informal reading responses, and perhaps occasional quizzes. Some writing will be completed on campus under firm time limits, but most work will be written elsewhere and submitted via the web.
Students have opportunities to share and discuss work with classmates online.
Students are expected to check the Course Announcements page regularly, to complete all assignments, to submit written work on or before assigned due dates, and to participate regularly in online class discussions of course materials. Students are expected to become familiar with the goals, policies and procedures described in the Course Overview and in this statement of Course Policies and Procedures. Students are expected to behave courteously and responsibly in the online classroom, which must be a safe place for academic exchanges among the members of the class. All assigned work must be completed by the student independently, unless peer editing is specifically permitted for a particular assignment. Any evidence of plagiarism in a graded assignment will result in a failing grade for the course.
