V. Evaluation:
A. Testing Procedures:
Exams will comprise 40% of the final grade. Two exams will be given during the course of the semester.  Dates will be announced in class and each exam will count 200 points of the final grade. There will be no make-up tests unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor. 
B. Laboratory Expectations:
Lab assignments will be made during the course of the semester.  A late penalty will be imposed on any overdue assignment. Failure to satisfactorily complete all labs may result in a grade of F in the course.  Labs will count 100 points (10%) of the final grade.
C. Field Work:
N/A
D. Other Evaluation Methods:
1. Individual Project: 
One project consisting of a case study based upon individual student interests will be assigned. This project is intended to familiarize students with the basic Active Directory design. Failure to satisfactorily complete the individual project will result in a grade of F for the course. This project will count 250 points (25%) of the final grade. A portion of the project grade will be determined by peer evaluation.
2. Group Project: 
One extensive group project will be assigned to create a complete Active Directory plan for a local business based upon instructor specifications. This project is intended to familiarize students with more advanced Active Directory features. It also provides an opportunity for participating in a group application development and integration effort. Failure to satisfactorily complete the group project may result in a grade of F for the course. This project will count 250 points (25%) of the final grade. A portion of the project grade will be determined by class peer evaluation and another portion by project group peer evaluation.
