COURSE-SPECIFIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES All assignments must be submitted by the due date and time indicated in the course outline and assignment instructions. Unless prior approval has been received by the course coordinators, late assignments will result in grade deductions as outlined below. If you anticipate that you will not be able to turn in an assignment on the due date, you must contact the course coordinators before the due date/time. If it is determined that the student violated the MCPHS University academic honesty policy during an examination/assignment/assessment, the student will receive a grade of zero for that examination/assignment/assessment. Late arrival to/absence from breakout sessions • Please arrive at the assigned breakout room a few minutes prior to the start and be prepared for each activity. • Attendance may be checked multiple times during the breakout session and is required for the entire session to earn credit • Students arriving 5-15 minutes late will have a 25% reduction on their final grade for the breakout session assignment. • Students arriving more than 15 minutes late to the session will be considered absent and will earn a grade of zero (0). • Students who are absent must obtain an excused absence from the Office of Student Affairs. Students without an excused absence will earn a grade of zero (0) for the session. • Students with an excused absence will have their final breakout session grade calculated out of the total number of breakout sessions they were present for. The weighting for this course requirement will not change (e.g., if the student was present for 2 of the 3 breakout sessions, each session will be worth 15% of the final grade instead of 10%). • Students who are absent from more than 1 breakout session with an excused absence will be handled on a case-by-case basis. A makeup assignment will be provided. Professional conduct during breakout sessions • Penalties may be assessed for any act of professional misconduct and include, but are not limited to: a lower grade for the work involved; no credit (“0” grade) for the work involved; or a lower grade for the course.
