Introduction to Emet Global’s Educational Philosophy

At the heart of our educational philosophy lies the belief that structured learning, combined with high standards for course progression and grades, is fundamental to student achievement.

We understand that true learning goes beyond memorization and repetition; it is about understanding, application, and synthesis of knowledge. Our curriculum is designed to challenge students, foster critical thinking, and encourage the continuous application of knowledge to real-world problems. This approach ensures that our students are not just learners but thinkers, innovators, and problem-solvers ready to face the challenges of the modern world.

Maintaining high course progression and achieving superior grades are pivotal to our educational strategy. We believe that these are indicators of a student’s dedication, resilience, and understanding of the subject matter. A progression score of 90% or higher is not just a number; it represents a student’s journey through the intricacies of each course, mastering concepts and skills along the way.

Our commitment extends beyond academic excellence. We aim to cultivate a learning environment that supports personal growth, ethical integrity, and a global perspective. Emet Global is more than an institution; it is a community where every student is valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.

Join us on this educational journey, where your success is our mission, and your academic achievements pave the way for a bright and promising future.

Course Progression

Understanding Course Progression

Course progression is the measure of a student’s advancement through the curriculum within a specified timeframe, reflecting their active participation, learning, and completion of required activities. It is a dynamic indicator of how well students understand the course content and their ability to apply this knowledge effectively.

The 90% Progression Score Requirement

We set a high standard for our students, requiring a minimum progression score of 90%. This benchmark is not arbitrary but is carefully chosen to reflect a deep understanding and proficient application of course materials. Achieving this score means a student has consistently demonstrated not only engagement with the coursework but also a high level of comprehension and the ability to tackle complex problems and tasks.

This benchmark is not arbitrary but is carefully chosen to reflect a deep understanding and proficient application of course materials. Achieving this score means a student has consistently demonstrated not only engagement with the coursework but also a high level of comprehension and the ability to tackle complex problems and tasks.

This requirement encourages students to maintain a steady pace of learning, ensuring they are fully prepared for each subsequent module and ultimately for the assessments that culminate the learning experience. It is a testament to their dedication and a predictor of their success in the course.

The 32-Day Completion Window

Each course at Emet Global is structured within a 32-day completion window, starting from the first day a student begins the course. This timeframe is strategically set to provide enough flexibility for self-paced learning while maintaining a sense of urgency and focus. It ensures that students remain engaged and committed to their studies, preventing procrastination and promoting a disciplined approach to learning.

The 32-day window is also designed to mimic real-world scenarios where deadlines are common, preparing students for the professional environments they will encounter post-graduation. It teaches time management, prioritization, and the ability to work under pressure, skills that are invaluable in any career.

Navigating the Course

To navigate successfully through a course, students are encouraged to engage regularly with the material, participate in discussions, complete assignments on time, and reach out for help whenever needed. Our learning management system (LMS) is designed to provide continuous feedback, allowing students to monitor their progression scores in real-time and adjust their study habits accordingly.

Instructors and academic advisors are also available to provide guidance, support, and additional resources to ensure every student has the opportunity to achieve the 90% progression score and complete the course within the 32-day window.

Conclusion

The course progression policy at Emet Global is more than just a set of requirements; it is a framework designed to foster excellence, discipline, and a deep-seated understanding of the subject matter. It challenges students to strive for the best, supports them through their journey, and celebrates their achievements along the way.

Our grading system is designed to provide clear feedback on your academic performance, helping you identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement. Each grade represents a specific level of achievement, and we encourage students to strive for excellence in their academic endeavors.

Incomplete Grades

At Emet Global, we understand that unforeseen circumstances can sometimes hinder a student’s ability to complete coursework by the end of the term. An incomplete grade (“I”) may be granted in situations such as illness, family emergencies, or other significant life events that directly impact academic performance. Eligibility for an incomplete grade is contingent upon the student having satisfactorily completed a majority of the course work and being in good standing prior to the request.

Process for Requesting an Incomplete Grade

  1. Initiation: Students must initiate the request for an incomplete grade before the end of the term.
  2. Documentation: Submit supporting documentation (e.g., medical records, obituary) to validate the reason for the request.
  3. Approval: The request and documentation should be submitted to the course instructor for approval. If approved, a formal agreement outlining the remaining coursework and deadlines will be provided.
  4. Submission: All required paperwork must be completed and submitted to the academic office as per the instructions provided by the instructor.

Completion Timeline

Students granted an incomplete grade will have a specified timeframe, typically up to one semester, to complete the outstanding coursework. The exact deadline will be detailed in the agreement provided by the instructor. Failure to complete the coursework within this period will result in the incomplete grade being converted to a failing grade.

Grade Improvement Opportunities

Retakes

Emet Global offers students the opportunity to retake exams or resubmit assignments in certain cases to improve their grades. This option is available if:

  • The course instructor determines that a retake or resubmission could lead to significant improvement in the student’s understanding and application of the course material.
  • The student’s initial attempt was impacted by extenuating circumstances.

Approval for retakes or resubmissions is at the discretion of the course instructor and may be subject to specific conditions or requirements.

Extra Credit

Extra credit assignments or activities may be available to students seeking to enhance their understanding of the course material and improve their final grade. These opportunities are provided at the instructor’s discretion and are designed to encourage deeper engagement with the course content. Extra credit can positively impact a student’s final grade, though it is typically not sufficient to compensate for significant gaps in coursework or performance.

Students interested in grade improvement options should discuss their situation and intentions with their course instructor to understand the possibilities and requirements.

By offering these policies, Emet Global aims to support students in achieving their academic goals while maintaining the integrity and standards of our educational programs.

Policies and Deadlines

At Emet Global, we understand that clear guidelines and policies are essential for both students and instructors to ensure a fair and efficient learning environment. Below, we detail our policies regarding late assignments, course timelines, and accommodations for special circumstances.

Points Deduction for Late Assignments

  • Daily Deduction: For each day an assignment is submitted past the deadline, a deduction of five (5) points will be applied to the assignment’s total score. This policy encourages timely submissions while allowing some flexibility for minor delays.
  • Cut-off Point: Assignments submitted more than five days after the due date will not be accepted and will receive a grade of zero (0). This policy ensures that the grading process remains manageable and that feedback for all students is timely.

Start and End Dates
