| |
| General Reading Assignments and Participation: Each student is expected to complete all readings prior to the discussion of the material in class, and to be prepared to summarize and evaluate any of the readings upon the instructor's request. |
| |
| Unit/Chapter/Article Content Presentations (Group or Individual): During the first class meeting we will decide on the method for student involvement in content presentations. It is possible for a group to prepare and present a unit, or for an individual to prepare and present a chapter or article to the class. Generally the content presentation will be include a PowerPoint©, but it could also be Flash, HTML, or other presentation medium approved by the instructor. |
| |
| Written Assignments (Individual Project): Each student will prepare two written assignments that will be discussed in our first class meeting. |
| |
| NOTE: Each student should examine each paper completed in this course to see if it may be useful to include as
an artifact in your portfolio. If you haven’t begun to assemble your portfolio, you should do so now! |
| |
| Participation: Students are expected to take part in class discussions. Attendance is required for this to take place, so attendance is a prerequisite for the participation grade. If a student misses class without an excused absence, the participation for that class will be deducted from the total. Although a student might not contribute to every class discussion, the grade will be based on regular contributions. At least one contribution weekly is expected. Questions will count as participation because they are often valuable in helping everyone learn more about the topic from the answer to the question. |
| |
| Project Submission: All project files and
assignments will be submitted using your through WebCT. If WebCT is down, you can use your VSU E-Mail account. Send the files as attachments to E-mail and formatted
as outlined below unless another format is negotiated with
the instructor. For all documents created with Microsoft Office, save the files under the "2003" version. Equipment at the Moody Air Force Base classrooms will not open Office 2007 files. The files you send will follow both the formatting and file
naming conventions listed and explained below: |
 |
Text documents will
be formatted as either Microsoft Word©, Adobe Acrobat© *(PDF) or Flash documents. |
|
Data files (if
needed) will be Excel files (for spreadsheet data) or Access files
(if a database is required). |
|
Presentations will

File
Names: For all assignments use a description of the assignment in the file name, such as "unit3.ppt" or"chapter5.ppt" for a presentation, or "paper.doc" or similar description for a writing assignment. |
|
Ownership of
files: to indicate your ownership of submissions, use
your first and last names with either a dot *(.) or underscore
*(_) between the parts. For example: "gerald_merwin_chapter5.ppt"
and "gerald_merwin_paper.doc" |
|
Course Codes
in Subject Line: We will use WebCT as the primary method for communication in the course. WebCT has automatic filtering built in to the system, so use of the course code in the subject line is not required. If you are using BlazeNet/VSU email, you need to include the course code (PADM 7260) in the subject line. This is to associate your submissions with
our course to aid in filtering of E-mail, use the PADM 7260 in
the subject line of all messages sent to the instructor other than WebCT. |
