Welcome to online class!
Please read over these course policies and then let's do our required welcome call. Text me and we will figure out a time for the call that works best for you.
Office Hours: Mon- Thurs 4-6pm
503-560-2107 Text me any time of day- I will respond ASAP.
Attendance Policy:
ORVED requires students check in 2 times a week for attendance in GENIUS.
A check-in means the student provides a specific update on the course. This can be done using: the check-in button, a phone call, course message, email or text.
Missing 4 check-ins in a row (equal to 2 weeks of attendance) results in a 10-day drop from the course without further notice.
Coursework Policies:
- Pre-Tests, Collaboration Assignments, & Class Discussions are all closed. Students will skip these in the course.
- Work is graded according to your due dates. I usually only update grades once a week. I will enter 0's for any missing work, but this work can be completed at any time during the course for full credit.
- Be sure to set your Google Docs to share/edit with me (scoyle@orved.org) so I can open the files on my end and give you credit for your work. If I am unable to open a file, I will temporarily set the grade to 0 to get your attention.
- Not a requirement, but I strongly suggest keeping a notebook for this class to stay organized, take handwritten notes as you work through all the links in the lessons, and use on quizzes and DBAs.
- Be sure to read the feedback I leave to understand the grades you have earned. (click on the grade) You can improve any work at any time for up to full credit.
- Written Assignments = can be replaced by written notes for up to 70% credit each.
- Online Quizzes = can re-take as often as needed. These are 'open-book' assessments- look back through the lessons as needed.
- Plagiarism is not accepted. You must complete all work in your own “voice” every time. NO 'copy-paste'.
- Any research, including images, must be cited in the assignment.
- Final Exam = students at an 80% or above after all coursework is complete are exempt from the Final Exam
