Students who are ill or have other difficulties should negotiate with the instructor before a quiz is due. The Mediator Notebook is a three ring binder that you create to contain the tools, worksheets, and resource materials utilized in mediation practice. The notebook will be collected twice during the semester. No notebooks will be accepted for grading late for any reason. It is the student's responsibility to deliver the notebook on or before the due date.
Students have the choice of taking a performance exam or writing a term paper .
Those who choose to pursue the mediation certificate should take the performance exam. Those who have difficulty with the skills of mediation may elect to substitute a term paper for the performance exam. The term paper is due the last day of class. Students taking the term paper option must be present in class to act as disputants for those students taking the performance exam. Term papers must be delivered on the due date.
