Hi All,

I'm fairly new to GCU . I am teaching ECS 550 class this summer. My class requires my students to complete 20 hours of clinical field experiences. I noticed that one of my students submitted the form already, but with only 6 hours completed. I already sent an Early Alert, and I messaged the student.

 In the gradebook the assignment for field experience has 60 points if the students complete all the 20 hours. I need your advice on how I will grade it. Should I give that student only 18 points since the student completed only 6 hours? (60 points is total for 20 hours, and 6 hours will be 18 points, right? ) Or do I have to give the student a 0? I read some of the forums questions and someone mentioned to give students incomplete .... The gradebook has points not Complete or incomplete option. 

In the practicum manual I saw this:

What if the candidate does not submit the CFE Verification Form by the end of class or incomplete hours are submitted to the course?

All required clinical field experience/practicum hours not completed within the course timeframe are subject to the assignment deduction AND must be made up prior to the end of the next course. As a reminder, candidates must complete all programmatic requirements, including practicum/field experiences hours as defined in their coursework. (For candidates enrolled in additional teacher licensure programs, failure to complete the required hours, will prevent the candidate from moving forward into student teaching.) Please ensure that all missing hours have been completed in their entirety. All hours must be submitted through the online electronic system as verification forms no longer expire.

Please advise. Thank you in advance for all your great responses.

Many Blessings

Delia
