  12. REWRITES • TIMING IS EVERYTHING – pay attention to the schedule. • All exams must be done within the designated time frames • The REWRITE week is for students who failed/missedan exam ONLY. • Up to 2failed/missed exams (grade of less than 50%) may be rewritten during the scheduled REWRITE week • No other extensions will be allowed – • ie a 3rdfailed exam or missed exam deadline means an immediate "F" on the course. • The maximum grade you can get for a REWRITE exam is 65%

  13. REWRITES cont. • An exam not completed by the deadline specified in the schedule will be considered a “failed exam”. • IF you DO miss an exam early in the course then you can only rewrite 1other exam. • Later exams, especially Excel, & Word are more difficult. • Missed exams should be reserved for situations where you absolutely cannot attend the exam, for medical reasons, OR: • extreme extenuating circumstances.

  14. EVALUATION • PRINT OUT EVERY MODULE EXAM MARK • Put this printout in a SAFE place • This is your BACKUP COPY • If a MARK is incorrect in myitlab and/or Blackboard at a later date, your BACKUP is your PRINT-OUT

The maximum mark a student can achieve on a rewrite is 65%.

  17. EVALUATION cont. • In order to be successful in this course, students are expected to spend a minimum of three (3) hours per week on out-of-class assignments and doing their training. 

  18. EVALUATION cont. • Students must pass each of the 4 exams with a grade of 50% or better to pass the course. • In addition students must have a minimumoverall GRADE of50% • The final grade is not an average of the 4 examsand therefore if a student fails 1 of the 4 exams, then the student fails the course. A student may only miss an exam for medical reasons, or extreme extenuating circumstances. 

  19. EVALUATION cont. To Summarize • To pass the course a student must end the course with an overall GRADE of 50%or better, • AND must pass each of the 4 exams with a grade of 50% or better. • This means that a student who ends the course with a failing grade on even one exam, fails the course.

  20. Assignment Policy • ATTENDANCE will be taken • You must be IN CLASS in order to get a mark for the assignment • PROVIDED THAT you are in class you may complete the assignment at home • Assignments are due at Midnight, the night before the class it’s due. • If you submit an assignment late you will lose 20% of the mark per day after the due date. • IF YOU MISS THE CLASS, YOU WILL RECEIVE A “0” IN THAT ASSIGNMENT • (as per outlined in “The School of Business Procedures.pdf”)

  21. ASSIGNMENTS-BE CAREFUL WHEN DOWNLOADING “CHEATING” possibilities • BE CAREFUL when you are DOWNLOADING your assignment files.  If you accidentally SAVE to the C:\ drive, in the lab, then logoff—you will lose your files.  Some students have done this, and then asked another student for their file. •  In this situation, you may be legitimately doing your own work, but due to the fact that you have used the basic, unedited version from another student, your assignment will be flagged with a “POTENTIAL INTEGRITY VIOLATION”,(cheating).

  22. ASSIGNMENTS—READ INSTRUCTIONS VERY, VERY CAREFULLY!! • You have to be very, very careful with ALL the components in myitlab.  The software is extremely specific—it IS case-sensitive, and if you add a space where there shouldn’t be (or vice versa), or forget to include a punctuation mark (or vice versa), myitlabwill mark it wrong.  • When you do your assignments, you must read the instructions extremely carefully, not “skimming over” any of the instructions, just in case you miss a tiny requirement. 

  23. PRINT OUT ASSIGNMENT MARKS • Please make sure that as soon asyou get your MARK  for ANYassignment, that you do the following: • DO NOT CLOSE the dialog box with your mark on it--before doing the following: 1.       Hit your PRINT SCREEN button on your keyboard 2.       Open MS WORD 3.       PASTE 4.       Enlarge the “screen capture”, so that it’s readable 5.       PRINT out your MARK, AND SAVE the file 6.       You may now close the dialog box. • There have been some students who have gotten their mark, but when they close the dialog box with the mark on it-- they receive a “0” in their GRADEBOOK. (This is the mark that Isee). This “print out” will be your backup copy—put it in a safe place, until the endof the semester.

  24. Classroom Management • ALGONQUIN STUDENT ID CARDS will be checked for ALL exams

  25. “School of Business Procedures Document.pdf”-Section “C” • Use of Laptops and other Electronic Devices

  26. Cheating • Cheating is grounds for dismissal • To write any exam, you need to produce a ALGONQUIN COLLEGESTUDENT ID CARD. • The purpose of the training is to teach you what you don’t know, so you can pass your final. • If someone else does your training/work for you, you will not be in a position to pass the final exam.
