Course 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 his 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.
