What is a Pace Chart?

The pace chart will help you manage your assignments to finish the course. It is a good idea to write in the due date for when the assignments are to be completed.

Assignments are

due Sunday. Write in

the dates to remind

you.

You may choose to work at the traditional or accelerated pace.

Print out your Pace Chart from the Course Information area and fill in your due dates.
