Poll Time!Poll Time!Throughout seminar, I may do a poll. A poll window will pop up on your screen, with a question, and below you will have choices to select.

The purpose of polls is to reinforce key information that I feel is important for you to know.

Please do not type your answer in the class activity box for everyone to see.

The polls are completely anonymous, no one knows who votes how (including me), so don’t worry if you don’t get one right…it’s ok

Syllabus Highlights

INSTRUCTOR’S GRADING CRITERIA/TIMETABLE

All course projects submitted on time will be graded within five days of their due date (the Sunday of the following unit).

Late work will be graded within five days of the submission date.

Seminar Option 1 and 2 grades and Discussion board grades will be updated each week no later than Sunday of the week following the Unit’s completion

LATE POLICY

Late work will not be accepted unless there are clear and compelling extenuating circumstances. If you have extenuating circumstances that prevent you from completing course assignments/exams you must contact your instructor immediately—prior to the assignment/exam/quiz due-date unless prevented from doing so by emergency circumstances. Examples of extenuating circumstances are serious personal and/or family illness/hospitalization, death in the family, weather-related evacuation/emergencies, work emergencies, and issues related to active military assignment. Personal computer/software/internet connectivity issues and course blocks are not considered extenuating circumstances. Granting of late-work submission due to extenuating circumstances is at the discretion of the instructor and will require documentation for verification of extenuating circumstances. If late work submission is granted, the instructor will establish new due-dates and requirements without loss of course points.
