Student-led Virtual Seminars:
In every module you will find a Student-led Virtual Seminar. This is one way we cover the content of the textbook. For each chapter you will ask a “critical thinking” question about some topic in the chapter. Other students will respond to your question. In addition you will answer some of the questions posed by other students. Half of your final grade is determined by your participation in these seminars.

Chapter Exams

In every module there will be an open-book exam on the chapter to be covered in the next module. The course is set up this way so that you will be sure to read a chapter before you participate in the seminar on it. The exam will consist of 20 multiple-choice questions. This is the other way we will cover the content of the textbook.

Research Paper

A research paper is required. Details are provided in the Research Paper Assignment Module.

Course Announcements

There is a Course Announcements box on the homepage for the course. Every time you log-on to the course, read the current announcement. It will inform you when the work of the current module is due and remind you of when the Research Paper is due.
