The lessons are meant to be completed in a comprehensive manner in which the student engages in the assigned readings, text exercises and assigned homework in MyLabs. You will be required to take only 2 of the available assignments in My Labs, the Guided Lecture and Speak and Spell.  You are welcome to play with any of the others to help you learn. The graded items are the quizzes,  tests on Moodle and the assigned homework in MyLab .    To allow for you to become familiar with the course,  Lesson 1 quizzes may be taken TWO TIMES if you so choose and the highest completed grade will be recorded. The remainder of assignments,  however, may only be attempted once.  Therefore, it’s  very important to have reviewed the materials sufficiently . Text books may be utilized when taking quizzes. Once you open a quiz you must complete it within the allotted time (40 minutes). Yes, they are timed.  All quizzes will  open at 7:00 AM on the Monday that they are assigned and they will  close on the following Monday at 7:00PM.  Therefore, they are open 24 hours per day for 7 days.    Also, completed MyLabs assignments must be submitted by the DUE DATE listed in the syllabus. You may complete assignments in advance, they will be open from the beginning of the semester however, they will close on the date in the syllabus .   Please think of this as a work week and schedule your study time efficiently.  Don’t wait until the weekend or the last day to attempt read the text, do the homework and take the quiz.  TESTS: Tests are completed in the same fashion as the quizzes. Follow the same directions to begin a test as you would for a quiz. Test 1 will cover  the first five lessons PLUS one other chapter in the book (Chapter 7) and Test 2 will cover the last six lessons. Please note that Test 2 does not include materials from Lesson 12 or 14. Tests include 100 questions and, therefore worth 100 points each. Tests will not be made available until Monday of the scheduled week.   MAKE-UP POLICY: Students who do not communicate the need for an extension prior to the due date are seldom granted that opportunity. However, if you make an attempt to reach me concerning some issue that is preventing you from completing an assignment on time, I  may be willing to offer an extension. I t doesn’t hurt to ask.   ACADEMIC CONDUCT: All students must practice academic honesty. Academic misconduct is  subject to an academic penalty by the course instructor and/or disciplinary sanction by the University. All students need to be familiar with the Student Conduct Code. The Code is available online at https://www.umt.edu/safety/policies/default.php   STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES Students with disabilities may request reasonable modifications by contacting me.   The University of Montana assures equal access to instruction through collaboration between students with disabilities,  instructors, and Disability Services for Students (DSS).  “Reasonable” means the University permits no fundamental alterations of academic standards or retroactive modifications.
