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.

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/her 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 his/her
life in
a limited manner but has not
really made the truths his 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.
