A Note About Grading: During grading, I will assume that every student has read and understood these documents. If you don't, please contact me.
Overall in this class, grades will be based on timely submission of assignments containing appropriate subject content, methodology, and citations properly formatted according to APA formatting standards.  I am also looking for clear writing and positive contributions to class discussions. Details are in the syllabus. Appropriate citation of sources is required in all scholarship, in all classes, according the university's academic integrity policy. There is a lot of material to be covered in eight weeks. Try to keep up with the class. That means schedule time for the readings as well as the online Forum discussions and other assignments. If there is a problem, contact me. Call me, use Messages in the online classroom, or you can reach me via my Herzing .
Have a wonderful week!
Dr. G. Tolan
