However, the online activities are asynchronous, which means that you may complete the assignments at any time during the week within which they are assigned. It is critical that you participate and adhere to the course schedule, not only for your benefit but also for the benefit of your classmates. Participation criteria are discussed in further detail in the Grading and Assignments sections of this guide. The homework assignments and quiz can be made up without penalty in cases of excused conditions. Homework assignments that are excused but which are late more than one week can be made up but may be penalized, depending on the circumstances.
Late posts disrupt other students schedules.
Whenever you will be late in submitting an assignment or quiz, you should contact the instructor by email about making up the work. Journal entries are your informal reflections on the activities of the week. There is no specific format or required content. You are, however, to use the threaded discussion format to organize your thoughts into categories. Typical examples of content include reflections about the course materials, comments about new, or old, information encountered, musings about new insights, reactions to fellow student's comments, and rethinking of your own attitudes.
