proctor concerning exam issues and schedule exams with the proctors. Students
will be informed when they can schedule an exam with the proctor.

IX.
ATTENDANCE POLICIES:
This course is an
online course in which attendance corresponds to contact between student
and instructor at least twice per week. Attendance and late arrivals are
not directly factored into grading in the course, but it is highly likely
that students in the course not having contact with the instructor at least
twice per week will generally do well in the course. Also, students MUST
participate in Threaded Discussions within the weeks in which they are
assigned, in order to receive credit for the assignments, unless exceptions
are negotiated
X. LATE HOMEWORK:
|
Late assignment turn-in and test make up will not
be allowed, subject to negotiation (not encouraged).
