Make Up Work for Missed Classes

Although I am using the Internet to organize and present materials, courses which do not have the "K6" section designation are not Internet course as such. Regular class meetings are scheduled and you are expected to attend and to participate in class activities. However, when it is not possible for you to attend class, you are expected to do the Make Up Work which is posted on the class syllabus.

The make up work involves reading an assignment from your textbook and then responding to a question which is given in the discussion forum for make up work listed following the discussion forms for the weekly journal assignments.

Follow the process given in your Journal Directions.

Make up work will affect your grade. This is the way it will work: Your regular journal grade will be computed by dividing the number of journals you actually write into the number which are required. So, if 39 journals are required and you write 39, the division will yield 1, or a grade of 100, a perfect "A." Anything less than 39 journals will result in a grade less than 100. Remember that "A," "B," "C," "D," and "F" grades are given on a ten point scale.

For each class you miss, you must write one make up journal in addition to the original number of 39 journals. For example, if you miss one class, the total number of journals you must write will be 40.

The make up work is intended to encourage you to attend class regularly as well as to give you the opportunity to practice your reading and writing skills on those occasions when you are not able to attend.
