General information and Instructions:

The Schedule of Assignments provided below outlines course materials to be covered as well as due dates, test dates, and other information pertaining to this class.

It is strongly recommended that you complete the step-by-step practice exercises as you read the material.

Once you have finished reading the chapter and doing the practice activities, you should complete the required assignments indicated on the Schedule of Assignments and submit them to the instructor using the steps specified below for submitting assignments.

The Schedule indicates the appropriate filename that you should use when saving and submitting your files. Please use the specified name when submitting them in order to ensure correct credit for your work. The filename to be used is also shown in your textbook within the instructions for completion.

Quizzes will be available online for a set time period only. They must be completed and submitted by the due date. Specific instructions will be provided prior to a scheduled quiz.

Late work will be accepted for one week after the due date but will be reduced to one half of the points earned. "Late" means after midnight on the date that the work is due. Late work will not be accepted if it is more than one week late. Because of this policy, assignments will be available for a two-week period only. You will be unable to submit assignments after the two-week time limit has elapsed. NO LATE WORK CAN BE ACCEPTED DURING THE LAST WEEK OF CLASS.

Make-ups are not automatic but may be allowed under extreme circumstances based on instructor approval. It is the student's responsibility to contact the instructor to request and, if approved, schedule make-ups.

Participation in Discussion Board is a required component of this online class (worth 45 points).
