Definition of Bulk Uploading at CalSouthern

Bulk uploading exists when a learner uploads 2 or more major assignments without waiting for feedback and grading from the faculty mentor within the allotted timeframe. A major assignment in this context refers to submitted work worth more than 50 points. Discussion Forum posts are excluded.

Bulk Uploading Policy

To discourage bulk uploading and improve the learning experience, faculty mentors may implement up to a 10% penalty on each assignment that is bulk uploaded.

Learners are not penalized for late assignments, but they might (at the discretion of the faculty mentor) be penalized if they submit 2 or more major assignments without waiting for feedback and grading from the faculty mentor. The penalty is a maximum 10% of the points available for each assignment bulk uploaded.

Learners who bulk upload assignments miss the opportunity to learn from the feedback provided on each assignment submitted. The purpose of the penalty is to encourage learners to submit their coursework in a timely fashion and benefit from feedback provided by their faculty mentor on each assignment.
