COURSE SUBJECT OUTLINE

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. There are some assignments with multiple due dates; therefore, the due date will not be seen in Canvas.  You must pay close attention to due dates in the syllabus and always go to the module to see assignments and other tools for the class.  DO NOT DEPEND ON THE TO-DO-LIST IN CANVAS.  ASSIGNMENTS WITH MULTIPLE DUE DATES WILL NOT APPEAR ON THE TO-DO-LIST.

Discussion Forums have different due dates.  Due to the forums having three different due dates, you will not see a date beside the assignment in the module nor are they displayed on the to-do-list. Please see discussion forum instructions for instructions about when the initial and response posts are due.   

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

However, the due date for the Final Exam is different.  You will only one (1) day to complete the final exam. (July 11, 2019)  The final will be available July 11, 2019 at 7:00 a.m. and will shut off at 11:59 p.m. that night.

Note:  I do not accept late work.  Any assignments not completed by the due date will receive a 0.  Please pay attention to the dates above.

Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students in all classes for which they have registered.  All absences are considered to be unauthorized unless the student is absent due to illness or emergencies as determined by the instructor.  It is the student responsibility to provide documentation as to the emergency for approval and judgement by the faculty member.  Approved college sponsored activities are the only absences for which a student should not be held liable and only when provided by a college official ahead of the absence.  Valid reasons for absence, however, do not relieve the student of the responsibility for making up required work.  Students will not be allowed to make up an examination missed due to absence unless they have reasons acceptable to the instructor.  A student who is compelled to be absent when a test is given should petition the instructor, in advance if possible, for permission to postpone the exam.  Student will be dropped from a class by the Registrar upon recommendation of the instructor who feels the student has been justifiably absent or tardy a sufficient number of times to preclude meeting the course’s objectives.    Persistent, unjustified absences from classes or laboratories will be considered sufficient cause for College officials to drop a student from the rolls of the College.

Last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is June 26, 2019.

“Attendance is taken by your participation in class”.
