Competency-based courses are identified with the letters "CBE" at the end of the course code.
There are no due dates for individual course project deliverables, but all of your work must be completed and submitted by the end of the term. It is critical that you pace yourself to ensure that you meet this deadline while allowing additional turnaround time for grading and potential resubmissions.
Deliverables are the assignments you need to complete for each module of your course. These assignments are designed to authentically assess your knowledge in a format that mirrors real-world professional tasks. For example, instead of writing a traditional paper on developmental milestones in children, you might create a visual resource guide for nurses to use during well-child visits. Similarly, rather than conducting a literature review on change management best practices, you could develop a communication plan that outlines the steps and considerations for implementing a specific organizational change.
Yes, you must submit all deliverables and earn a passing grade on each deliverable. Failing all attempts of a single deliverable results in a failed grade for the whole course.
Students are eligible for two or three attempts, depending on their program of enrollment. Check with your student advisor for clarification.
CBE deliverables are graded according to an assessment rubric with these key features:
The live classroom sessions in your CBE courses offer a valuable opportunity to interact with your instructional faculty and classmates, allowing you to ask questions about course content and assignment expectations. These sessions are recorded and made available asynchronously. Rasmussen encourages live, synchronous attendance for the best learning experience. However you attend, you are required to complete a quiz associated for each live classroom session.
The attendance policy for CBE courses is the same as the general attendance policy at Rasmussen University. Attendance is required every 14 days at a minimum. See the catalog for additional details. Activities that constitute attendance include:
