You are also required to respond to AT LEAST THREE of your classmates’ postings by the Discussion Response deadline. Deadline Policy: I do not accept late work. Extra credit assignments are available to allow students to make up for any missed points. Withdrawal Policy: Students who fail to complete 5 assigned tasks, whether discussions, assignments, quizzes, or exams will be withdrawn from the course. It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw from the course if he or she feels he can not complete the requirements of the course. The withdrawal deadline for this semester is Friday, March 30. After the deadline, however, only your instructor will be able to withdraw students and, then, only for excessive absences.
