Class Requirements:
Class requirements include successful completion of required weekly readings, participation in threaded discussions and the submission (electronically) of weekly assignments to NCPP faculty and staff.

Weekly Reading: Reading materials are provided to registrants by NCPP. Readings are organized by themes for weeks 1 through 4 of the online class. Registrants have access to cutting edge research, informative manuals, and case studies and models for performance management and citizen participation. NCPP staff issue registrants the class web address, ID and password. All of the weekly class materials are available so that registrants can log in , review the class structure, materials and requirements, and participate in weekly discussions.

Weekly Discussions: NCPP faculty and staff post a discussion question at the beginning of weeks 1 through 4 of the online class. Questions address the theme of the week’s readings. Registrants are encouraged to post a response that is informed by class readings and professional experiences. NCPP faculty and staff guide the conversation and directly address questions or comments. Weekly discussions are an opportunity to explore new topics, and discuss issues and obstacles related to measuring performance with other professionals and the NCPP faculty. Many registrants report that these exchanges serve as a catalyst for building a rapport among colleagues and NCPP faculty.

Weekly Assignments: Assignments may include analytical papers, reaction papers, critiques, or other creative activities and projects. NCPP faculty and staff provide explicit directions for paper or project completion. Questions and activities are closely ties to the weekly theme so that enrolled professionals can strike a balance between meeting professional demands and the class requirements. Registrants often report that class assignments are relevant to their work and provide much needed skills and techniques on various professional levels.
