Course Timeline
This course will be designed in modules. Modules will open and close as listed on the course calendar. You are encouraged to log-in to the course, check the announcements, participate on the discussion boards, check the calendar, and review assignments at least 3 times per week. You should expect to spend the same amount of time preparing for and participating in this course as you would if we met face to face (approximately 5 hours per week).
Technology Issues
If you have problems related to the course, please contact me immediately. If you have technical problems, please contact the Student Computing Support Desk at 843.953.5457 or email studentcomputingsuport@cofc.edu. Resolve problems promptly. Computer failure/unavailability does not constitute an excuse for not completing assignments by the due date.
Presence Policy
Unlike a face-to-face class, being counted present in an online course involves your participation. So, you cannot just log-in and be counted as present. You must also complete the work for the day in order to be counted as present in the course.
Late Work
I penalize late projects 1/3 of a letter grade for each day late. As is the case with short-form writing, I am happy to give extensions.
