Academic Engagement

Each academic course at William Howard Taft University is assigned a semester unit value equivalent to the commonly accepted and traditionally defined units of academic measurement in accredited institutions. Credit bearing courses are measured  by  the  learning outcomes normally achieved through 45 hours of student work for one  semester unit. For example, a course with a value of 3 semester units would require a typical student to commit 135 hours of academic engagement and preparation to complete the course requirements.

Lesson Assignments

This course contains a number of lesson assignments. Work through the lessons one at a time. Unless otherwise instructed, you should complete all assignments for a particular  lesson in one WORD document.

When you complete all of the assignments in a lesson, submit it  to the faculty for  grading and feedback. Submit only one lesson at a time, completing them in sequence. Continue on to the next lesson, but be sure to incorporate any feedback received on previous lessons into your subsequent assignments – if necessary.

Final examination procedures are set forth in the Student Handbook.

Format

Unless otherwise instructed, Lesson Assignments should be prepared in Microsoft  Word® using the Times New Roman font, 12 point, single space, double space between paragraphs. Each page must be numbered and your  last name and student number included on the   upper left hand corner of each page.

Your lesson assignment responses should be evidenced from the course textbook and/or from peer-reviewed sources not more than 5 years old. In general, Wikipedia is not a professionally- reviewed resource and should not be used as an assignment reference. You must cite your references so that readers can verify your conclusions, and easily determine what is your work, and what is paraphrased or taken directly from other sources. Failure to give credit for the work of others in your assignments and writing projects constitutes plagiarism.

Evaluation

Your grade will be influenced by the accuracy of your research and the quality of your  writing. The extent of research necessary will vary from assignment to assignment. In most cases, your work product should not simply consist of quoting from the assigned text.

When grading your assignments, the faculty will consider three general components:

1. A demonstrated understanding of the material and the learning objectives.
2. Your ability to articulate, synthesize and analyze the concepts and issues presented in the material.
3. Clear and logical composition supported by examples and appropriate references.

The final grade for the course is determined by the sum of each of the grades in the Lesson Assignments. Each of the lesson assignments is weighted equally in determining your grade for the course. Total Possible Points = 800 (100 Points per lesson).

Faculty Advisors will refer to the following grading rubric when evaluating your assignments:

If at any time you desire additional feedback, you should contact your faculty advisor directly via email. Feel free to ask questions about course progress, grades, etc., at any time, and remember that the faculty and administration are interested in helping you learn and succeed.
