W EEKLY U NIT R EQUIREMENTS Discussion Forum Participation Post Early Be detailed and substantive in your posts and responses to peers A minimum of 3 substantive posts weekly Include worked out mathematical examples in your posts Discussion boards cannot be made up MML Graded Assessments Weekly an assessment is given in MyMathLab to determine student retention and ability to perform the competencies that are covered in the weekly readings. Students are encouraged to start the assessment early to allow ample time to complete the work by the end of the unit week. Each problem can be attempted 2 times before it is marked incorrect. The MML component is specific about the way answers should be entered. Please pay attention to these requirements. Within the application, there are options to “View an Example” and “Help Me Solve This”. Use them, as they are great help. Late Work Policy As stated above, discussion boards cannot be made up. If there is an unforeseen emergency that hinders you from completing the MML graded assessment, please notify me by to make arrangements to request extra time to complete the task. I am flexible in this area, but will not extend the courtesy of late submissions
