The due dates for these assignments will be clearly publicized by the instructor and you must refer to the weekly assignment schedule for due dates. If you have any questions about the assignment or due date, it is your responsibility to get them answered at the earliest possible time.

If, for any reason, there is an emergency and you will be unable to complete the course requirements, please contact the instructor ASAP. When taking a typical 3 credit hour course, students should plan to spend at least 9 hours per week doing coursework and studying for that course regardless of the mode of delivery (online, hybrid, face-to-face).
