It is important to know that as your instructor, I am
sensitive to your busy schedules with family, work, and school. There are due dates
for postings, created to allow productive discussions between yourself and your peers.
If you ever feel that meeting a due date creates a significant challenge for you, please
let me know and we will discuss an alternative plan for you.
If I do not hear from you,
the grading criteria for late submissions will be followed.
