MAKE UP WORK AND LATE ASSIGNMENTS
Neither make-up exams nor quizzes will be given nor will late work be accepted. You have a week to complete your assignments and it is important that you do so. If you have a problem uploading an assignment and choose to email it to me, it must be time stamped before 11:59 p.m. on the day it is due.
CONTACTING THE INSTRUCTOR
|
You may contact the instructor via CANVAS email or by calling and leaving a message at the number listed in this syllabus. Again, do not send a text to the phone number asking general questions. You will not get a response. Please use the CANVAS email to ask general questions.
Emails
Emails must be sent through Canvas. You should not email the instructor from your personal email account. All emails should be sent via your NCTC email account ONLY. Emails from personal accounts will not be answered. All emails will be responded to within 48 hours.
If you need to schedule an appointment to meet, please do so by sending an email request.
Online Office hours
|
You will be given opportunities to meet in an online office or chat session. For the online office, I suggest you use a device with a video and microphone. The link for the online office will be labeled “conference” and for online chat will be labeled “chat”. You will not need those devices to have a chat session. Chat session will only be available on days specified within the module.
OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
Instructor’s Availability
The online environment can be a little confusing and many of you may feel that because the class is online and is available 24/7, the instructor is also available 24/7. To clear up this misunderstanding, please note the following:
The instructor will be available to answer any questions you may have during the times listed below. The office hours are:
|

On Monday and Tuesdays, the instructor will be available online and in the chat or conference area, if needed. To access the chat room, there will be a link labeled coffee room on the discussions tab (located on the left side of the home page).
If you need a private online conference, that can be scheduled. If you are having issues understanding the reading assignments, please feel free to schedule a time to meet with the instructor or post your question in the forum.
If you need to meet at a different time, please schedule an appointment. If you need a face to face meeting, you must call or email to make arrangements.
Please do not text or call the cell number in this syllabus other than the times listed as office hours. Emails are the student’s primary means for communication.
The instructor is not available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at all. Any questions sent on Friday, Saturday or Sunday will be answered on Monday. It is important that you read your assignments at the beginning of the week so your questions can be answered by early. You do have permission to text the instructor if an exam or quiz is not showing up.
|
It is your responsibility to make sure the computer and internet connection you are using is reliable. I cannot help with technical issues nor can I help if your network stalls. These are all technical issues. I can only help if the exam or quiz is not available when it should be.
