According to a survey, Job Outlook '96 by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, communication skills and the ability to get along with others are rated as the two most important characteristics on the job. Using these surveys and other supporting research as guides, all course content incorporates as many of these identified characteristics and indicators of success . A schedule of assignments for each course is handed out in class and posted on the web site. The schedule includes all assignments, quizzes, tests, and outside reading required. It is up to the student to keep track of due dates and turn in assignments on time.
Students are free to choose to turn in assignments on time or late.
However, as can be expected in the workplace, late assignments without prior approval will not earn full credit. Student can also choose to put more work into any assignment than is stated or indicated on the syllabus schedule. Of course, students who invest greater than minimum effort, will be rewarded accordingly. Effort and attempts at understanding, even without complete mastery, will be rewarded. The search for knowledge is always a worthwhile trip, for it is not always what you know, but do you know where to look.
