Make-Up Work:
As indicated in each grading rubric, assignments must be submitted within 24 hours of the posted due date for partial credit.
Any assignment submitted after the 24 hour time frame will not be graded. No points awarded.
No make-up time allotted for quizzes, mid-term and final exams or medical terminology quizzes. Exams must be taken within scheduled time allotted.
Estimated Workload:
This is a one (1)-credit hour course. Normally a 1-credit hour on-campus course would meet one time each week (during an 8-week term) for a total of 2 hours per week or 16 hours per term. As such, the course may take as much time as a face-to-face or online course, and may take more. The time commitment required outside of class in any college course is two to three times the number of credit hours. A blended course may require a total of three to four times the number of credit hours. While more flexible than fully online or face-to-face courses, blended courses may require additional time reading lessons, as well as preparing for and completing assignments, tests, and quizzes or those activities or assessments which will take place during or as a result of your face-to-face meeting.
In a blended course, a large portion of communication may be completed via email and/or discussions. This will require online communication and presence - be sure to factor this into your schedule. Academic Integrity: Assignments submitted in this course are intended to be each individual's own work, not copied from a website, journal article, or from a friend. Please view under Sinclair Policies the Sinclair Academic Integrity Policy and the Sinclair Honor Code for further information.
