Course modules will be made available to students on Sunday of each week. Class work must be completed before the following Monday. Students will not be able to work ahead of the class although reading assignments will be made available in advance. Actual dates that modules will become available will be posted in advance on the course calendar.

GRADING POLICIES

Graded assignments will consist of one quiz for each module and participation in at least two class discussions. Each quiz will count 10 points and class discussions will count 15 points per module.

Students should provide at least 3 contributions to the class discussions each week to gain the maximum points. Students learn more and learn better when they discuss the topic at hand. For that reason, I consider the regular weekly discussions to be even more important than the weekly quizzes.

Grades will be posted on a weekly basis. You will have full access to your grade sheet so you will be able to keep track of how you are doing at all times.

Your overall grade in the course will be determined by the total number of points you have accumulated on quizzes and assignments.

STUDENT REVIEWS

" The course had a positive impact on my understanding of my role at work. Most importantly, I consider it now to practice more based on the knowledge learnt. It is absolutely clear that being an effective leader is a long way and a lot of work on yourself, your mistakes and tries. I liked the format of this course, it was interesting to read the opinions of my classmates. We are from different different countries, different ages, different experiences and backgrounds. I am going to complete all eight courses in order to get the certification. The next two courses I want to register for are ENGR 0030 Oral and Written Communication and ENGR 0032 Planning and Scheduling."
