EVALUATION:
Proctored Exam: 35%All Web courses have a required proctored examination. Students are
responsible for scheduling their appointment to test with the UMUC Field Rep
office where they registered for their classes,
during the two weeks prior to Proctored Exam Week.
For complete instructions regarding proctored exam
procedures go to the Asia DE Web site at http://de.asia.umuc.edu,
and select the .Proctored Exams. link.
Computer-Based Proctored Exams are available only for students testing at
designated UMUC Asia Computer Labs (ask your local UMUC Asia Field Rep or
Computer Lab Monitor if their location is participating), and only during the
scheduled Proctored Exam period. All other students must be administered paper
exams.
The grade of 'A' means "outstanding", i.e. mastery of the
material. The grade of 'B' means "good". The grade of 'C' means
"satisfactory".
Grades are curved and related to the class average. "Significantly
above" the class average are the A's, "above" (or sometimes even
at) the class average are the B's, at or below the class average are the C's.
Significantly below the class average are the D's and F's.
Usually, in the 90's is an A, 80's is a B, 70's is a C.
PENALTIES: There are penalties for late work. All work must be submitted as specified.
INCOMPLETES: The grade of I is exceptional and given only to students whose completed course work has been qualitatively satisfactory but who have been unable to complete all course requirements because of illness or other extenuating circumstances beyond their control. The grade of I may be considered only for students who have completed at least sixty (60) percent of the total course work requirements and who have received a passing grade on all the course work which they have completed. the instructor retains the right to make the final decision on granting a student's request for an I, even though the student may meet the eligibility requirements for this grade.
POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND GRADES: IAW with the University of Maryland, University Catalog, Asian Division, and the Student Handbook (current editions). These cover essential information such as attendance, grading, make-up work and plagiarism.

Guidance on how to avoid plagiarism can be found at the following
sites:
UMUC's Effective Writing Program "Helping Students Avoid
Plagiarism"
UMUC's Online Writing Center "How to Avoid Plagiarism"
Indiana University's Writing Tutorial Service "Plagiarism: What
It is and How to Recognize and Avoid It"
Online Etiquette and Conduct::
1. Be polite
2. Do not write anything you would be embarrassed to have printed in
the newspaper. Computer messages are not private.
3. Keep in mind that any message you write can and may be forwarded to
others. Again, be careful what you write and NO CHAIN LETTERS.
4. Do not forward personal notes or messages to others or a group
unless you are certain the content is appropriate and you have asked
the author. Do NOT forward chain letters to anyone who is enrolled in
a UMUC course.
5. Be aware of how your words may affect others. Since you have no
body language cues, you must be more careful.
6. When using quoted material or someone else's idea, include the
citation just as you would in a hard-copy version.
7. Reread your message before sending it; edit if necessary
