Participation and Attendance in Courses

Weekly continuous participation is expected in all class activities. The academic week is from 12:00 a.m. Idaho time on Monday through 11:59 p.m. Idaho time the following Sunday. Participation is defined as having completed one or more of the activities required in any week, which may include posting or responding to a discussion post; submitting a paper; completing a quiz or examination; or completing some other assignment as presented in the course syllabus.

Attendance for each course is taken the first week of class. As the DMSc program is an online program, students are required to complete the Acknowledge the Syllabus assignment to have attendance accepted. Students failing to complete this requirement may be removed from the course and administratively withdrawn from the DMSc program.
