GRADING
SPC grades on an A, B, C scale; they do not offer pluses (+) or minuses (-). The grading scale is:
A: 100-90%
B: 89-80%
C: 79-70%
D: 69-60%
F: Below 60%
Grading Philosophy:
Grades will be assigned based solely on student performance and not on prevailing student
norms or students' perceptions of their performance. This course syllabus clearly communicates
performance standards and these standards will be fairly and consistently applied throughout the
semester. Grading standards have been developed based exclusively on course objectives
reflecting the appropriate level of content mastery, including mastery of the subject matter as
well as mastery of those core curriculum components such as effective writing and information
literacy deemed appropriate to the course. Although a bell curve may not always be achieved,
nor is it necessarily desirable, it is expected that the grade of A is awarded only to those
students whose work is truly exceptional, reflecting both content mastery and the ability to
analyze and articulate that material. Students can expect that the grade of A will be awarded
only to those few students whose work is exceptional reflecting both content mastery and the
ability to communicate that material. Grades of B and C would be awarded more frequently
implying lesser degrees of content mastery. The grade of D represents the lowest passing grade
and denotes borderline content mastery. The definition of each grade level is as follows:
A = Outstanding: Performance excels far above established standards for university-level
performance
B = Superior: Performance above established standards
C = Good: Performance meets established standards
D = Substandard: Performance is below established standards
F = Failure: Performance does not meet minimum requirements

Assignments Overview
The course assignments will feature discussions, independent research, and team research
projects. Assignments will be submitted in the “Drop Box” section of My Courses ONLY.
Discussions
Each week you will participate in a discussion. The discussions in each module will cover the
main topics of study and create the foundation for the additional assignments throughout the
week. For full posting assignment credit, an initial posting and reply to one peer is required.
The deliverable length of your posting responses must be at least 150 words. Please review
your postings for grammar and punctuation errors. It is important to spell out your words. The
first word of each sentence must be capitalize.
Attendance
Students who are not actively participating in class as defined in an instructor's syllabus are
reported to the Administration during the week following the last date to withdraw with a “W”
on the Academic Calendar. A grade of “WF” will be assigned to students who are not actively
participating during the week following the last day to withdraw with a W grade.
Students can withdraw themselves at any time during the term. However, requests submitted
after the last date to withdraw with a “W” on the Academic Calendar will result in a “WF.”
Students and instructors will automatically receive an email notification through their SPC email
address for withdrawals.
Withdrawing after the “Last Date to Withdraw with a Grade of ‘W’” can have serious
consequences. If the student withdraws from a class after the deadline, on the Academic
Calendar the student will receive a final grade of ‘WF,' which has the same impact on the
student's GPA as a final grade of “F.” A “WF” grade also could impact the student's financial
aid, requiring repayment of financial assistance. Students should consult with an academic
advisor or financial assistance and counselor prior to withdrawing from a class.

TEAM BASED PROJECT REQUIREMENTS:
Page 10 of 11
This course requires “Team Based” assignments to be submitted. Because of the use of “Team Based” in this course, a formal standard has been devised. Students are required to submit assignments and share team documents in Microsoft Office formats (Word, Excel, or other Microsoft formats, if specified).
This course uses the Team Based website “Wiggio” – which is hosted by “Desire2Learning” for teams to use for communication, collaboration and interaction. Your teams have been created for you. Log into the “Wiggio” team based website and set up your profiles and start communicating with your team members. The professor of this course has access to the groups and is able to review interactions among the teams.
Team Members’ Expectations:
Team Project Assignments are a integral portion of this course. In order to maintain the integrity of the grading process as it relates to the team project, there are several procedures to which each team member must adhere:
Team members must collaborate for a mutual time/method to brainstorm ideas, assign tasks, and create deadlines
Team members must commit to the integrity of the timelines and products for which each is responsible
Team members are responsible for preparing Peer reviews that are constructively critical, confidential, and mandatory
If a team member is not participating, contact the instructor via email, with supporting information and dates of the non-participating member (Including calendar events, meetings and other collaborations missed by the non-participating member)
Decisions to withhold the paper have to be declared on the confidential peer-reviewed form, including reasons for this action
Team Management Guidelines:
All members of a team should actively participate in order to effectively contribute to the team; the individual members of each team will be graded as such. Lack of quality in the delivery of the final project, as well as, lack of participation and collaboration from any individual team member will bare consequences. The following guidelines create the boundaries in which each team will operate:
Peer reviews will have a significant influence on scores awarded to individual team members; however, at the instructor’s discretion, the highest and lowest Peer reviews may be disregarded
Only the instructor may authorize requests for team membership changes Creating additional teams is not an option
