Course Policies
• Instructor reserves the right to make course changes if necessary, and if so, will endeavor to minimize the impact on the course delivery and assignments.
Changes can be necessary for a number of reasons (ex. lab equipment failures, time, inclement weather, illness, financial emergency, pandemic, etc.). • Contact the instructor at your very first
opportunity if you do not think you can meet any deadline in the course. Advance notice is your most important tool in learning of options from the instructor regarding make up work, extending deadlines,
etc. The instructor may, at his or her sole discretion, extend or maintain deadlines based on the instructors interpretation of any particular request. • No work except the final exam may be
submitted after the last day of regular classes during the semester (by the Friday before final exam week) without having received prior approval from the instructor. The instructor reserves the right to
review each and every request at his or her discretion. The instructor may recommend an incomplete, may refuse requests, may recommend an alternate action or may accept a student's request for the submission
of late work. • Instructor reserves the option to update, change or delete the use of any particular grading rubrics used for the assessment of student submissions. • Interim grades are
submitted to workday as required (this may or may not include virtual student sections as policies change). That said, any student may check the on-line grade book in blackcboard to review real-time progress
on their assignments. • Students may work together on homework assignments, quizzes and lab assignments. However, each student is expected to submit their own original work (don't cut and paste)
responses into an assignment. Write your own words (a learning process itself) and benefit from this effort. BE AWARE that the instructor can google answers just as easily as student can. Please write in
your own words, push yourself to write in a manner that makes sense to you, showing you know what you are writing. University Policies and Services
