Progress Evaluations

Progress evaluations are open-book assignments that test your knowledge and understanding of the course material.

There are eight progress evaluations in this course. They consist of essay and identification questions and are worth 50 points each. The progress evaluations follow Lessons 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 10, 12, and 13 and are instructor-evaluated. The points you earn on progress evaluations count toward your final course grade.

Note: You must submit all assigned work in sequence (Lesson 1, then Lesson 2, etc.), and you cannot submit more than three (3) assignments in a 7-day period.

After each progress evaluation has been scored, you will receive a lesson report. The lesson report gives you your score on the lesson and provides feedback and comments on your essay. After you receive your score, you should then study the lesson commentary and make certain that you understand the author's analysis of important concepts in the reading assignment. Both the feedback on your progress evaluations and the lesson commentary will help you prepare for the exams.

Note: The progress evaluations for this course are instructor-evaluated and require written responses. These should be completed using Microsoft Word 97 or a more recent version of Word. More detailed instructions for completing the progress evaluations can be found by clicking the link below.

Guidelines for Essays
The progress evaluation for each lesson and the examinations include essay questions. Answers should be written in readable, grammatical language. The following guidelines will be used in evaluating your essays.
  • An A grade essay includes detailed information in response to the question. The answer is well organized and moves from one topic to the next with clarity.
  • A B grade essay surveys the material with less detail and may leave out discussion of some aspect. The answer is less well organized but is written in a superior way.
  • A C grade essay leaves out more detail and reflects less well-organized thought, but must cover the information requested.
  • A D grade essay contains even less information, but still covers some information requested.
  • An F grade essay is poorly organized and reveals little about what happened.
