The categories are followed by a description of what you will do by category and how many points each assignment is worth

1. Checking Your Knowledge – these are the questions you will answer from the end of the chapters you read. The initial assignments from Module 1 such as the computer backup plan, and Meet Your Classmates will also be included within this CYK category Each is worth 100 points. You will earn 100pts if you complete them in their entirety, 50pts if they are partially complete when submitted, and 0pts for unsatisfactory completion or not submitted in Canvas by the due date. These are worth 25 % of your total grade.

2. Class Discussions

Walk Through It:  These discussions take place each mod and each is worth 100 points and is 20% of your final grade. For example, two 5 point rated responses 5+5=10 and will earn you a 100% for the discussion, 10/10=100%.

- As you will see on the rating rubric, I will evaluate whether your responses are relevant to the questions posed and whether or not you are able to insightfully contribute to the discussions and follow all of the rules. In addition, I will look to see if you posted your initial response to the discussion by the due date and check to see if you submitted your response to your peers on another, different day during the module and before the discussion deadline date. Posting a response near midnight on the due date does not really contribute to the back and forth type of conversation we are looking for here, so please be timely.

Toolbox Talk: An overview of the Toolbox Talk is given in Module 1. Participation in this discussion is required each mod either in the role of presenter or participant, the description of each role is below. You must be a presenter at least twice during the semester, I will be the presenter for the first mod and you must comment on talks presented by your peers at least once each mod.

Presenter-once per mod

Participant-comment on presentations once each mod.

3. Quizzes - you can expect a quiz at the end of each mod. Quizzes will be open book, however, I will set a time limit on each which not allow you much time to look up answers. I suggest study in advance as if you did not have any references at your fingertips. Each quiz is worth 100pts and is 25% of your grade.

4. Job site Visit and Job Safety Analysis – is worth10%

5. Mid-term and Final Exam– worth 20% of your total grade earned.
