Unit assignments Either multiple choice test

or a writing/project Discussion boards

One original post (50-150 words) discussing the prompt

Minimum two replies to classmates

Go with the flow of the prompt

REDO POLICY

If you get less than a 60% grade on a quiz you may ask for a copy of my booster doc.

If you get a low score on a test you can retake version B.

Discussion posts can always be edited.

ACADEMIC HONESTY

Your work should be written by you. Plagiarism is when you copy without

giving credit to the original author. Citing sources at the end of a paper is

not the same as giving credit. Let’s look at a site together:
