The course begins with an Introductory Section; during it, you will take a quiz and sign up for the course’s Forum. For further information about those tasks, refer to the page, What to Do During the Introductory Section.
After, there are six sections; each is devoted to a different book. During each section, there are two types of assignments: My Annotation and My Discussion Post. For further information about them, refer to the pages with those titles.
All assignments are submitted in iCollege.
All assignments are graded as complete (1 point) or incomplete (0 points).
To be graded as complete, an assignment must be submitted before its due date and time. All work is due by 5 pm on Fridays.
As a courtesy, I keep each submission folder open for an extra ~55 hours; specifically, until Sunday at 11:59 pm.
Thus, there is absolutely no technology excuse for late submissions. You should always try to submit by the due date and time (Friday at 5 pm), and only use the grace period as a back-up.
For late work to be excusable, the problem (e.g., sickness) must occur before the grace period. For example, if you wait for the grace period to turn in an assignment, but then get sick on the weekend so do not turn it in, this is not excusable.
