Dropping the Class
If you decide to discontinue this course, it is your responsibility to officially drop it to avoid getting no refund (after 10% of course length), a W symbol (after 20%), or a grade (after 60%). Also, for several consecutive, unexplained absences, the instructor may drop a student.
Pass‐NoPass (P/NP)
You may take this class P/NP. You must decide before the deadline, and add the option online with TLC or file the P/NP form with Admissions and Records. With a grade of C or better, you will get P.
You must file for the P/NP option by Sunday, July 28, 2024. Once you decide to go for P/NP, you cannot change back to a letter grade. If you are taking this course as part of a certificate program, you can probably still take the class P/NP. Check with a counselor to be sure.
Attendance
Students who fail to attend the first class (face-to-face courses) or do not log-in to an online class after the second day of the semester will be dropped from the class. It is strongly advised that if you need to miss more than one class/homework deadline in a row that you contact me to avoid being dropped from the class.
Late Policy
All assignments are due by 11:59pm on the due date. You are allowed to submit assignments up to two days late with a 20% maximum penalty (10% reduction per day), allowing for some flexibility but discouraging procrastination, which is a significant problem for online classes. Each Unit requires reading & review (knowledge), quizzes (cognitive skill), discussions (interaction) and journal entries (analysis/interpretation).
Due Dates for Unit work (Sundays at 11:59PM) are every week.
If something has happened which prevents you from submitting work on time, please contact the instructor as quickly as possible. If contacted before due dates, arrangements are readily offered. No work is accepted after the published extended deadline without prior approval. No forgiveness of the late penalty will be given without prior approval.
