Attendance Policy:
To be successful, you should log into the course at least three times a week and complete assignments. You can always check the Calendar for due dates. I also will email weekly reminders through Announcements.
Grading Turnaround Time:
I provide feedback and grade assignments within a week after the due date. For example, Week 1 assignments will be graded by the end of Week 2.
Late Work Policy:
Do your best to meet assignment deadlines. Timely submissions are necessary for everyone's success. If you find yourself falling behind, contact me via email, and we can work it out. If you haven't completed an assignment within 3 weeks of the due date, you will receive a zero (0) for that assignment. For example, any missed Week 1 assignments will receive a 0 if they haven't been submitted by Week 4.
