Attendance
and participation are expected. I am able to track when you have accessed the
site and will follow participation in the weekly discussion. Attendance for
online courses includes accessing and completing weekly assignments and
actively participating in weekly discussion on time. (1)
You must answer each weekly discussion and reply to 2
classmates for a total of 3 discussion postings each week. This is an interactive part of the class
and may not be turned in late. (2)
All
assignments, project, and exams have a scheduled due date. If you are 1 day late you will lose 1
letter grade (10%), 2 days late will lose 2 letter grades (20%). Work will not be accepted more than 2 days
late. Individual exceptions to the
late policy may be considered only if you contact me prior to
the due date. |
