Attendance/Participation:

I unlock modules on the Sunday of the week. I keep the quiz, workshops, and any related assignments available for a two-week window. Please complete the work (quizzes/workshops etc.) within that open window. If you have a situation that results in extended absence, please contact me so that I am aware of the situation and can make arrangements to meet your instructional needs.

Assigned work is BY OR BEFORE THE SPECIFIED TIME AND DATE. A letter grade will be dropped for every day that the work is late. On the workforce, late work constitutes the loss of a job and pay!

In keeping with UNCG policy, I will post a midterm grade for you by the end of the sixth week of the term. That grade will not appear on your transcript or in your GPA calculations. Instead, it is intended to help you and your academic advisor understand how you are doing in the course up to that point. If you review your midterm grade and find it to be lower than you hoped, I encourage you to talk to me so we can make a plan together for your success.
