Class ASSIGNMENT POLICY
What assignments are required for this course?
Over the month-long curriculum management course, students will be required to complete an assignment (either practice exercises and/or reflection) and a quiz for each unit within the Course Maintenance and Classroom Scheduling modules. Both of these tasks focus on the lecture material and ask you to put your knowledge to practice in the UAT2 PeopleSoft test environment or use of the BI Reporting tool.
Course Maintenance module
Course Catalog Components unit: 1 quiz, 1 reflection assignment
Course Webform Process unit: 1 quiz, 1 reflection assignment, practice exercises
Course Maintenance Reports unit: 1 quiz, 1 reflection assignment, practice exercises
Classroom Scheduling module
Scheduling Policies & Procedures unit: 1 quiz, 1 reflection assignment
Class Webform Process unit: 1 quiz, 1 reflection assignment, practice exercises
Class Permissions & Waitlists unit: 1 quiz, 1 reflection assignment, practice exercises
Individual Study Classes unit: 1 quiz, 1 reflection assignment, practice exercises
The reflections will be completed in your CM Reflection Notebook and you will track your progress on both assignments and reflections via the Google Spreadsheet.
The seven quizzes will be completed within each unit of the Course Maintenance and Classroom Scheduling modules. Please complete the quizzes after reviewing the lecture material and practice cases.
** Finally, there are no grades for this course. However, you are required to complete the course (and all assignments) within a month of starting the first unit in order to be granted advanced security within PeopleSoft. If you fail to complete all assignments, you will not be granted the advanced PeopleSoft security and your PeopleSoft department administrator will be notified. **
Lastly, there is no late policy or designated due dates for the assignments, except that all material must be complete by the end of the one month period. As an example, if you start the course on July 8th, you have until August 8th to complete the course and all the required assignments. We recommend pacing the course and assignments over the month-long period, rather than having to complete all of the units and coursework in the final week. The paced approach will also allow time for the instructor to provide detailed feedback on your work during the course.
