Attendance/Participation:

In this asynchronous course, "attendance" is measured by your active participation and timely completion of course activities rather than traditional in-person or scheduled online meetings. You are expected to regularly engage with the course materials, participate in discussion forums, and complete assignments by the specified deadlines.

Engagement: Regular interaction with the course content is crucial. This includes logging into the online platform multiple times per week to review lectures, participate in discussions, and work on assignments.

Participation: Active participation in discussion boards and peer interactions is a key component of your learning and will be tracked as part of your “attendance”.

Deadlines: Timely submission of assignments, quizzes, and other required activities is essential. Failure to meet deadlines may be considered an absence from the course.

Communication: If you are unable to engage with the course for any reason, it is your responsibility to inform the instructor as soon as possible to discuss how you can stay on track.

Consistent engagement is necessary to succeed in this course. Lack of participation or failure to meet deadlines may negatively impact your grade and could be considered non-compliance with the course attendance policy.
