Attendance Policy:
There is no "attendance requirement" for the course. However you are not attending if you do not complete your assignments on time. Grades are reduced for late submissions. See the late Work Policy below.
Late Work Policy:
The due date for most assignments in this course is Sunday at noon. Check each assignment for any alternative time or intermediate dates. Some assignments like discussion forums have an initial post and a final post date.
For most assignments if you notify me in writing (via email), before the assignment due date that you will not be able to hand in an assignments on time we can set a new due date and you are eligible for full credit. I will respond to your email and you must reference my permission email in your assignment submission. The notification is up to you. I do not keep a record of permission except as an email and will mark it late if you don't remind me.
Certain assignments cannot be extended. This includes Exams, all Discussion Forums and all group work. Other work will be marked in the assignment if it cannot be handed in late.
If you do not notify me but, you hand in the assignment late, I will accept eligible work for partial credit. HOWEVER...In either case no extension is given or work accepted for credit beyond the end of the session/week following the original due date. I will provide feedback but not a grade.
I will attempt to get work back to you graded with comments before the end of the following session/week and always before your next assignments are due.
Grading Turnaround Time:
All completed assignments will be graded no later than seven days from the submission date, and sooner when possible.
