- keeping a copy of all assignments until the end of the semester; and
- immediately reporting all e-mail/computer problems to the professor and it is your responsibility to complete the course assignment and activities even in the face of computer failure.
Instructor Responsibilities
- The instructor reserves the right to require proctoring or validation of students' academic work at the instructor's discretion.
- The instructor reserves the right to change or modify course policies, materials, or deadlines in response to student feedback or unforeseen circumstances. Students will be notified by the instructor of any changes in course requirements or policies.
- The instructor requests that students allow the instructor 48 hours to respond to student emails or other forms of contact. If you do not hear back from her within that time frame, please try contacting her again.
- The instructor will attempt to be available during weekdays, however, as balance between family and work is important in everyone's lives, the instructor reserves the right to be unavailable on weekends.
- The instructor requests that students allow the instructor one week from the date of submission (original deadline, not if the assignment is turned in late), to post a grade, or provide feedback, on any homework assignments, two weeks for major writing projects. (Note: the instructor will make every effort to provide faster turn around time-however, sometimes faster turn around is not possible)
- The instructor may be "out-of-the-office" for extended periods of time, and requests that students understand that this situation may occur and allow for such inconveniences (however, the instructor will always attempt to email and/or post an announcement to the class about any such circumstances)
