Course Requirements Checklist

After reading the Course Syllabus and Student Expectations, the student will complete the related checklist found in the Course Overview.

There are 13 Read & Interact quizzes. A Read & Interact quiz measures the student’s preparation for engaging new course material. Read & Interact quizzes are completed in the McGraw Hill Connect platform and have an unlimited number of trials to answer the questions correctly prior to the due date. The quizzes use the Connect SmartBook interactive study tool that adaptively assesses students’ skill and knowledge levels to track which topics students have mastered and which require further instruction and practice. Based on student progress, it then adjusts the learning content based on their knowledge strengths and weaknesses, as well as their confidence level around that knowledge. (CLO: A, B, C, D)

Homework Assignments (13)

There are 13 graded Homework Assignments for the sections of the assigned text covered. The purpose of the assignments is to reinforce material covered during the reading and study class activities. Homework will be completed in the McGraw Hill Connect platform with multiple attempts. (CLO: A, B, C, D)

Project Assignments (5)

The student will complete 5 Project Assignments in the course. One project assignment allows the student to simulate a Work Measurement Study while four Project Assignments will allow the student to work through a simulated production planning module. (CLO: A, B, C, D)

Quizzes (2)

There will be one mid-term quiz during the semester and a final quiz. The purpose of quizzes is to reinforce the learning process and validate the student’s comprehension and retention of the material covered. Solutions are expected for all problems.  An ‘answer’ is the final numerical value corresponding to the question asked in the problem. By contrast, a ‘solution’ is more in that it also includes the argument/reasoning/work that leads to the answer. Quizzes will be administered online in McGraw Hill Connect. Quizzes will be timed and certain portions will be closed book while numerical problems will be open book/notes. (CLO: A, B, C, D)
