Course Policies

- Instructor Response Time - I will respond to emails within 24 hours during the week and 48 hours on weekends. Lab assignments should be graded within one week of submission. Students will be notified if there are delays.
- Course Participation & Attendance - Attendance is just as important in an online class as it is in a traditional class, so attendance will be mandatory in this course just as it is if you were to take a class entirely in-person. Student attendance in online courses is defined as active participation in the course. Online courses have mechanisms for student participation, which is documented by any or all of the following methods:
  - Completion of tests.
  - Submission/completion of assignments (through assignment drop box, discussion board or other means as described in the course).
  - Communication with the instructor as described in the course.
  - Logging on to and accessing assigned course materials a minimum of twice per week.
  - Failure to do the above could result in a drop in a letter grade at the end of the semester.
- Grading Policy - The grading policy is detailed on the course syllabus
- To be sure you are completing all requirements, check your Canvas global calendar, look at due dates in the Modules, and/or check the assignment schedule at the bottom of the Syllabus page.
