Assignments are listed on your syllabus under the Course
Schedule. Before you start working on assignments,
please email me and introduce yourself. I would like to
know more about you, your motivation for taking this
course, perhaps your potential educational goals and
what you hope to gain by the course. Once I receive your
response, I will send one back to you.
To begin the course, read your Syllabus thoroughly,
which includes course policies and the expectations for
your work.
Please see your Course Schedule
for a detailed course agenda.
After you complete and submit assignments, I will
evaluate them and provide feedback. Once you have
completed the course assignments and the final research
paper, your work for the course is done and your grade
will be submitted.
Please feel free to contact me at any time during the
course.
I pray that the Lord will enlighten your heart so that
you may truly know Him and His purpose for your life.
NOTE: ALL
WRITING DONE FOR THIS COURSE MUST BE DONE ACCORDING TO
MLA WRITING STANDARDS.
C. Course Requirements and Policies:
Attendance
This is a 90-day
course. However, if more time is needed, this can be
worked out on an individual basis.
I will be available for you to answer any questions,
engage in discussion and provide assistance as needed.
Your written assignments should be submitted as file
attachments in either Microsoft Word or HTML format.
Each assignment will be evaluated, graded, and returned
with feedback.
Time Management
Please be sure to manage your time for your assignments
so that you have adequate time to complete your work
over the 90-day
period.
Communication
Discussion is an important aspect to an effective online
course because it will allow us to interact in virtual
environment. We will primarily communicate via e-mail.
Please feel free to use my email address for
questions, comments, concerns, etc. and I will do the
same.
Standards for Grading Assignments
As indicated below, “C” or 2.0 level work is considered
average.
Leaders are not average people.
You are therefore expected (required) to put forth the
effort necessary to demonstrate at least “B” (3.0) level
work or higher on all assignments which you submit. Any
which do not will be returned to you with input
from your instructor on how you can raise your grade to
the expected level.
A course grade will not be
given until your assignments demonstrate that
you have understood the material presented in the course
and allowed your life to be transformed by the Spirit
and the Word studied
— the requirements
for attaining a “B”.
Your
individual assignments (tests, written assignments,
etc.) will be graded according to the following
standards.
These
grades will be averaged together to determine your
course grade. ACU is training you as a leader and
leaders are above-average people. Therefore, your work
will reflect that.
“A”
• Grasped the material with thoroughness, industry and
correctness of detail.
•
Made the material his own by thinking about it and
integrating it, using
originality, natural ability, and insight.
“B”
• Intelligently has fulfilled the requirements of this
course.
•
Understands the subject matter presented and has applied
it to their life in a
limited
manner but has not really made the truths their own.
“C”
• Average work; either steady work of an acceptable
quality, or work of a high
quality which is uneven, irregular or fragmentary.
• May be mechanically or outwardly correct but shows
little reflection upon or
personal
assimilation of the material.
“D”
• Indicates barely passing work that is inferior to the
average both in quantity
and in quality.
• Manifests a lack of initiative or sense of
responsibility or both.
