Course Assignments and Due Dates
This page provides links to the assignments for the course, and the dates they are due.
There will be a weekly Test on the week's topics, usually due by 9am Monday of the following week.
You may take each test three times, up until its due date. Your highest score will count towards your course grade.
There will also be a weekly Discussion Board on one of the Module's topics, with a Thread to be posted by 9am Wednesday of the week of the Module, and replies to two threads to be posted by 9am Friday of the same week.
NOTE : There are 5 Essays due at various times during the semester, in addition to the weekly Tests and Discussion Boards.
NOTE : Due dates are the last possible date for submitting an assignment. For the Final Papers I strongly advise that you complete and submit at least two of them BEFORE Finals Week. Do not leave all three Papers until the last week of the semester. You should be able to write at least one of them by Mid Term Week, and if you do you will get feed-back which might help you write the other two.
Likewise, you may take each Test three times before its due date. You will receive a score after each test, with the correct answers to any questions that you missed. I suggest that you plan to take the test for the first time on the Saturday to the Module, so that you have an extra couple of days to repeat the test if you wish.
I hope this will give you practice in preparing for, and meeting, deadlines. You may find this to be a useful skill in your future studies and career.
Follow the links to the Module Pages for each week/module.
