Grading Scale
Important Policies
📅
No Late Work — Assignments must be submitted by the deadline. No exceptions except a doctor's note covering the entire assignment period. See the
Late Work Policy page for full details.
🤖
AI Usage Limit: 35% — AI-generated content may not exceed 35% of any submission. See the
AI Usage Policy page for full details.
👥
Group Work — The Final Strategic Plan is a team project (3–5 students). Peer evaluations are submitted after each submission. Free-riders may be removed from the group with documentation.
🎥
Video Presentations — All team members must appear and speak in video presentations. Videos are uploaded to YouTube (unlisted is fine) and the link is submitted on Canvas.
📋
Academic Integrity — All work must be your own. Plagiarism or submitting someone else's work will result in a zero and may be reported. This includes submitting AI-generated content above the 35% limit.
💡 Dr. Polly's Tip
The Final Strategic Plan is worth 30% of your grade — the same as all your quizzes combined. Do not treat it as an afterthought. Start forming your team and choosing your company in the first week. The module is open from day one.
