Class Credit
You will have the option for one of two forms of credit for this class: PDU or Recertification Credit. Recertification credit is provided at no cost. Please let us know which type of credit you are taking the course for. You can do one but not more than one.
We are in the process of working through the logistics for Graduate level credit but at this time it is not yet available. Our goal will be to have this as an option before the end of the course.
EXPECTATIONS!!!!!
All participants will be choosing one of the above mentioned forms of credit for this class. The following items are expected:
Attendance at introductory and conclusion meetings
Completion of all assignments
Participation in online class blog discussions
HOW TO CHECK YOUR COURSE PROGRESS
Select the Progress Chart on the Navigation Bar (left) under Class Information. This will show you a spreadsheet ( 4 pages - so please make sure you select the correct page that includes the letter of your last name.. to find yourself). After you email one of the instructors to review your work on a Topic, we will then go into the spreadsheet and update it by filling in the space below your name and next to the assignment(s) you have completed. Reminder this does not indicate a grade just the completion of an assignment.
