PREREQUISITE - You must have basic computer skills to enroll in this class and a math background is helpful. If you are uncomfortable with basic PC skills, including file management, I encourage you to take some PC training before enrolling in this class. Request more info and explain your situation if you have any concerns. (I don't want to turn people away, but I am committed to give personal attention to each of my students, and my time is very important to the quality of the instruction given) Course Lessons |  | Optional Certificates Awarded - Certificate of Appreciation
- Certificate of Merit
- Certificate of Academic Excellence
I am offering a Certificate of Merit to each student passing this class. Since I consider this a college level course, I won't be offering Attendance or Participation certificates, as these are expected from all students. (I also don't like the one for Outstanding Achievement for some reason, I think it sounds redundant or something) I'm a pretty conservative teacher and I believe we're still in a period of 'grade inflation.' Basically that means that most students and parents (and sometimes even teachers) expect A's and B's from teachers. Well, a C grade is for AVERAGE performance. A C grade is not a bad grade, it's supposed to be average. (okay, I'll save the lecutre for class) You're excused now. In addition to the standard Certificate of Course Completion, Merit Awards may be issued by the instructor at his/her own discretion and are based on student achievement. Merit awards also incur an additional $30.00 processing fee that covers the customization, printing, and delivery of the award, as well as access to the UniversalClass™ Portfolio Service that documents your achievements online. Official Merit Awards have a serial number that verifies the authenticity of the award (great for employers to verify your achievement).
