Assignment and Exam Policies

• Late Assignment – {list policy and exceptions.
  e.g.: Life often gets in the way of study. To accommodate that, you have two(2) Late Passes. To use a Late Pass, you must
• Notify the instructor before the assignment is actually due. Anytime before the actual midnight deadline is fine.
• Your request will be approved as long as you have late passes remaining. Thus, you do not need to wait for a response, as all requests will be approved.
• Turn in the assignment within four(4) calendar days of the due date with a note that it is being submitted late with a late pass.
• Only one late pass per assignment.
  }
  
  

• Exams - In case of
• Missed: {e.g.: no make-up exam is given unless an exception is pre-approved and pre-arranged by the instructor}
  
• Technical issues: {e.g. Should encounter a technical issue,
• Capture screenshot(s). PC, Mac, & Tablet.
• Contact the instructor.
  
• Avoid taking an exam on a tablet or smartphone. They are more prone to technical issue compare to PC and Mac.
  }
• Extra Credit Assignments:
  {example:This course moves along at a brisk pace and is challenging. If you fall behind, I think it is more important that you focus on doing well on what is due right now rather than using precious study time trying to work on extra credit assignments. Because of that, no extra credit is available.}
