No specific login times. However, you must log in a minimum of 2 times a week to get credit for the course.
Assignments and group projects are assigned and due at specific times.
Grade is determined by a combination of your participation, daily/group assignments, quizzes, term paper, final exam and the direct results of any group projects.

ONLINE DISCUSSION FORUM RULES

The forum is for those students who wish to learn and discuss information about LaMeD’s course materials.

The forum is open to those students that would like to learn and discuss their course material in a safe forum.

Please observe the following rules.

Realize that we will not all agree with each other or with everything we see on this forum. If an issue or topic comes to an impasse, all parties involved should agree to disagree and let the issue or topic drop. Each post-er should then take the issue to God in prayer.
No “LaShon Hara” will be permitted. That means no evil speech. No personal attacks. No insulting. No talking down to another poster. Address the topic of the post or the discussion, not the person posting or responding to the topic.
A facilitator/instructor will monitor all postings for compliance. If a person is warned and continues to post “LaShon Hara,” they will be edited or deleted from the forum after one warning.
No one person knows it all. We expect that everyone will learn from each other. This is a Torah Observant forum where we love God above all things and we love our neighbor as ourselves (Leviticus 19:18,34).
Realize that everyone is at a different point in his or her walk in life and we pray that the Ruach (Spirit) of God will lead people to The Truth.

We pray that you will grow in wisdom and understanding.
Shalom u’vrachah
(Peace & Blessings)
