Participation
Policy: |
|
|
|
Successful
learning online requires you to actively participate in each course.
Participation in Medical Terminology is measured by recording the posting
date on which you make a substantive posting in the course. What
are substantive postings? Substantive postings include:
• Responding to
discussion questions as well as discourse between students related to subject
matter within the course. This may include posting notes and responding to
the notes of others’ answers within discussion area. A response may be a
question about another’s work, agreement with or challenge to the point of
view expressed (supported by a reference to the text or lecture), or critique
of someone’s work.
• Contributing to the
discussion based upon course content, theory, or personal experiences, not
simply personal opinions Substantive
postings do not include:
• Posting completed
assignments
• Asking the faculty
member or classmates a question about an assignment
• Posting a simple “I
agree” comment
• Sending emails to
the faculty member or classmates You
are required to read all of the notes posted in the discussion area from the
faculty member and classmates. The quantity and quality of your participation
in the discussion area will be graded. The participation point value is
defined within each assignment; and/or as assigned by your faculty member. Everyone’s
comments are important. The diversity of the experience among members of your
class will enhance learning. All students will be treated equitably within
the classroom. Discussion and all communications are required to be
respectful. Inappropriate language will not be tolerated, and your faculty
member determines what is inappropriate. Students not treating the faculty
member and/or classmates with respect are subject to discipline or dismissal
from the course and/or program. All activities will follow standards set
forth in the FCC Student Handbook. Participation
in the discussion area must be completed within the assigned time the
instructor has designated. Note: during the first
week of class, you are asked to login within the first 48 hours as
confirmation you intend to participate in your course. What
should you do if you are unable to participate? If you are unable to
participate due to prolonged serious illness or personal emergency, you are
expected to contact your faculty member as soon as possible. If you are
unable to participate due to technical problems, you are expected to notify
the appropriate technical support personnel and then, notify your faculty
member. Failure to notify your faculty member will be considered a missed
deadline. All assigned work must be completed regardless of the reason for
nonparticipation. |
|

|
|
|
With
the exception of MOL students, all FCC students will receive and are expected
to use their FCC email address for correspondence with faculty and staff at
the college. Students can establish and access their FCC email accounts at https://myfcc.frederick.edu.

student-student communication. In the Blackboard environment by default, your
email address is available to all students in this course. However,
students are permitted to use email addresses of other students in this
course only for the purpose and the duration of this course. The
