I teach Accounting for Managers -an entry level course. The participation expected from this course comes primarily from discussion postings and responding to class mates posting. Students are expected to have their initial posting by Wednesday at 11:59 P.M and respond to two of their classmates posting by Sunday 11:59 P.M. At the start of each week I strongly encourage student to make their posting and responses in a timely manner for them to earn maximum points. Failure to do so will result in loss of points. Discussion posting are not allowed after the Sunday 11:59 P.M deadline. This simple policy helps students take responsibility for the amount of points they want to earn as well as promoting collaboration in the learning process.
