Instructor Availability

• Online learning enables a great deal of time flexibility; you may prefer working late at night or early in the morning and, either way, that's okay!   Just like face-to-face classes, I am here to help you and support your learning.   I will work hard to be responsive to your communications and engaged in the online classroom.  

• However, as in a conventional class, it is imperative that you plan ahead and submit questions and concerns well ahead of any deadlines. Online doesn't imply on demand. I am not online 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.   If I am online when you post or e-mail a concern, I may answer you very quickly. On the other hand, if I have already logged on for the day, I will not log on and respond until sometime the next day.

• I am not available on Sundays

Grading Schedule

• All course projects submitted on time will be graded within five days of their due date (the Sunday of the following unit). Late work will be graded within five days of the submission date. Seminar Option 1 and 2 grades and Discussion board grades will be updated each week no later than Sunday of the week following the Unit’s completion.
