Fall 2018 Course Syllabi

Tests: Five tests on the chapters covered during the term will be given. Additionally, a Final Exam consisting of 20 random questions from previous assignments or tests will be given on week 8. Because of the eight-week schedule, this will amount to a test about every week. Tests will cover two to four chapters at a time and will be about 10 to 20 questions each. Scores on your tests will be combined with scores on your assignments to make up your total grade. Tests will allow only 1 attempt and you must complete the test once it has been started.

In this case, arrangements can be made with instructor for a new due date, but ONLY if arrangements are made before the original due date. • The student is encouraged to complete all section and chapter reviews, even though these reviews will not be graded. • The student is expected to communicate with other students and instructor via course mail or discussions when it is required. • The student will complete each assignment before taking the related test. • Each test will be completed online. • Each test has a set time limit. • Once a test is opened, it must be completed. It is up to students to be sure they are ready to take a test before entering it. • Each test will have sections that require the use of the CPT coding book. For all questions that do not need a “code,” the student is not to use the CPT book.
