CLASS ORGANIZATION & GRADING

It is important that the student keep up with the class and not fall behind when taking construction project management courses online. 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 in the green construction classes will consist of one quiz for each module and participation in at least two class discussions in each of the construction project management courses online. Each quiz will count 10 points and class discussions will count 15 points per module. You can see that I consider class discussions to be a very important part of this course. For that reason, the regular weekly discussions are even more important than the weekly quizzes.

Students should provide at least 4 on-topic contributions to the class discussions each week to gain the maximum points.

Grades will be posted on a weekly basis in the green construction classes. 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.

The grading scale is as follows:

A

300 to 270 points

B

240 to 269 points

C

210 to 239 points

F

Anything less will be considered either failure (F) or an unauthorized withdrawal from the course.

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

You will be given more information about the grading and other course matters in the Orientation Module.
