Exams.
Two exams will assess your mastery of concepts covered in textbook readings. Exams will be available through
Blackboard via your Connect access. Correct answers/feedback will be available at individual student request after the
due date only and can be done through a “Collaborate” meeting or office phone call with me.
Achieve.
You will demonstrate mastery of grammar, punctuation, and style skills by completing a personalized learning
plan that will adapt to your knowledge and abilities to cover skills necessary for success in business communication.
Grades for Achieve are based on completion; if you complete the lessons in each module within the given time
frames, you will earn full credit. These modules will be completed outside of the learning sessions; accordingly, you
are expected to be aware of the open and due dates and complete the modules on your own.
Extra Credit.
I may offer extra credit at various times during the semester at my discretion. You must take these
opportunities when offered; they cannot be made up at a later date.
