KCTCS Online open-entry course modules are based on the goal that students will demonstrate mastery of content. Through KCTCS Online, students have the opportunity to receive credit for prior learning. To receive this credit, students must demonstrate mastery of the course module competencies through the following steps:
<<List specific mastery levels for the Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) wording here. e.g. If the score on the pre-test is 90% or higher, the student will have the option to immediately take the post-test. Provide the student with clear instructions regarding the requirements to achieve CPL. Does the student only have to demonstrate mastery on the post-test or does he/she also have to submit another graded assignment?>>
<<List information about the specifics of the pre-assessment exam here such as score required (if any), number of retakes, etc.>>
<<List information about the specifics of the Module Components, Assignments, Quizzes (pre/post unit assessments) here such as types, score required for each (if any), number of retakes, etc.>>
<<List a summary of all tasks and value of each either as percentage or points possible>>
All assignments, projects, and assessments will be graded <<indicate timeframe for feedback>>.
This course is presented as a full course with sub units called modules (since these modules can be taken separately). You will receive a score for each module. That score based on the credit hour (or weight) of each module will determine your final grade for the full course.
The percentage score received for each module will be multiplied by the credit hours of the module to give a total module percentage. Each of the total module percent scores will be added together then divided by the total credit hour of the full course to obtain a Final Percentage score for the class. Based on where the final percentage score falls on the grade scale will determine the final letter grade to be posted for the student.
