Attendance Policy:
NOVA Online's policy requires students to submit an assignment by a certain date so that you let us know that you are still interested. If you fail to turn in any item by expected date, you will be dropped from the class.
Students are encouraged to meet with the faculty virtually at least once. However, students will not lose any grade if they wish not to participate in the meetings.
Grading Turnaround Time:
All completed assignments will be graded no later than seven days after the due date, and sooner when possible.
Late Work Policy:
Please be aware that this course is designed in a way that allows you to learn materials one item/step at a time. I highly recommend that you do all the assignments on time. I understand that there are times when you need extra time to complete. You may turn in late work one week (7 days) after the due date. Thus, if the assignment is due on (3/1) late date is (3/8). Should you need more time, please contact me via email, and explain your reason. Assignments will close after that date and will not be opened.
Do not email me your homework. Any assignment that is emailed will receive zero.
Quizzes: In order to do well on your exams, it is important that you complete the quizzes before the Exam. Doing your homework and taking the quizzes before the major exam will help you in the Exam. However, I will accept Late Quizzes that are turned in by May 2nd.
Exams: You must take the exam on time, via locked down browser or Zoom, and camera on. Students who need extra time must have reasonable excuses such as health issue, family emergency, or court order.
You will receive email from me notifying you when the Exam is due. If you are taking it via Zoom, you must make an appointment with me.
Class ends Monday May 9, thus, you must take the Final Exam before the end of that date. Testing Centers are not open, you will take the exam at home.
Any Assignment including recordings will not be accepted if it is emailed.
You are required to post the correct assignment in the correct slot and make sure it is fully and correctly downloaded. You are also required to double check every recording you have made, and download it correctly. If your audio assignment has no voice, you will receive zero.
There are 2 to 4 attempts allowed in case you fail to download the assignments correctly. The attempts are not designed for you to redo an assignment. Faculty do not review assignments or recordings ahead of time.
