Class Calendar

 

If you choose to not print the entire syllabus, it is vital that you at least print the class calendar.  The calendar will be your guide throughout this course.  It displays when each module will open and also due dates for all assignments. You will have one week to complete each module.

 

Do not use the to-do-list!!!  You must go directly to the modules to see all assignments.

 

The module will be made available each Monday at 8:00 a.m. and will be disabled the following Sunday at 11:00 p.m., which means all assignments will need to be completed by 11:00 p.m. on Sunday.

 

Discussion Forums have different due dates.  Due to the forums having two different due dates, you will not see a date beside the assignment in the module. Please see discussion forum instructions for instructions about when the initial and response posts are due.  

 

The due date for the Final Exam is different.  You will only have four (4) days to complete the final exam. (Dec 7^th – Dec 10^th). The final will be available Dec 7 at 8:00 am and will shut off at 11:00 p.m. on Dec 10.
