POLICY Grading
- Requirements: Students are expected to use the required software applications, develop a solution based upon “client” expectations (in this environment your professor acts as your “client”) and meet pre-specified minimum requirements for each assignment.
- Policies: You will need to collaborate with other students via the discussion forums. You will need to seek each others advice, help and council to resolve day to day media construction issues, review and find errors and omissions in each others work, share hints and tips, software “learnings”, etc..
- Make-Up Assignments: No make-up assignments will be permitted.
- Make-Up Exams: No make-up exams can be taken.
- Incomplete Grades: No incompletes will be given.
- The deadline for each deliverable and both exams will be available in the course SCHEDULE.
- Late deliverables will NOT be accepted and the student will receive ZERO points.
- Late deliverables MUST BE INCLUDED with the following scheduled assignment (or the student will again receive a ZERO for that next deliverables as well).
- The late deliverable will still remain a ZERO even though it MUST be turned in later.
- Go to the Registration and Records menu
- Go to Class Registration and continue to the next page
- Select the term you are registered for

Evaluation / Assessment Methods
Students will be assessed on an efficient and effective accomplishment of course objectives. The types of evaluation include five deliverables each placed in their respective “DROPBOX”, two online multiple choice exams, and collaborative participation and attendance in discussion forums.
Get your deliverables in on time because you MUST complete and submit each of them anyway, and if only thrown together, you might as well get partial credit for it. Certainly anything above a ZERO is better than nothing. Example: If a student does not turn in the STORY by deadline, the student receives a ZERO (0/100 available points). If a STORY (when it becomes a previously missed deadline) is not submitted together with the PROTO (the next deliverable) then the student’s grade for the PROTO also is a ZERO (0/200 available points). The missed deadline STORY is still required for submission with the upcoming PROTO, but note, because the STORY was still received after initial deadline it therefore still remains a ZERO.
Grading:
Project deliverables are progressive and while each student completes their own solutions, the submission criteria remain the same for each student.
Overall Grades:
A 1000 (one-thousand) total point scale has been established for ease in calculating the course grade. The final grade is based on accumulated points from deliverables, exams and discussion forums. Interim letter grades will be assigned according to the number of points accumulated on deliverables and exams.
To successfully complete the course with a “C” or greater please note:
Component Grades:
Deliverables and exams represent actual submittals and milestones throughout a project’s lifecycle. Again, 1000 overall points are available in this course.
The 1000 point deliverable and exam breakdown is:
Grading Scale:
Individual deliverables, exams and discussion forums have each been weighted to either 100 or 200 points which simplifies grade calculation according to the following scale:
A 100% – 90%
B+ 89% – 87%
B 86% – 80%
C+ 79% – 77%
C 76% – 70%
D+ 69% – 67%
D 66% – 60%
F 59% – 0 %
Withdrawal Process:
Although it is not necessary to have approval from you instructor to withdraw from the course, it is a good idea to discuss the situation with your instructor. Many times the issue can be resolved with communication.
If a decision has been made to withdraw, however, the procedure for withdrawing from an online course is located at Daytona State: http://www.daytonastate.edu.
