INTRODUCTION MODULE

When the time comes, it is critical that you carefully read through the Introduction module of the course, which contains instructions, tutorial videos, policies, and procedures. We strongly recommend that you go through this module before you begin your coursework.

DEADLINES

You do not need to be online at any specific time during the course, however, there are weekly deadlines for submitting assignments and discussion forum posts. The deadline is always Tuesday nights, at midnight Pacific, which is equivalent to 3 AM Eastern early Wednesday mornings. There are penalties for late submissions. You must submit and pass all assignments and discussion forum in order to receive a passing grade (70%) in the course.

DISCUSSION FORUM

For each discussion forum topic, you are required to create and submit an original response to the topic/prompt and you must also post responses to at least 3 different teachers’ posts. All four posts are required to receive a passing grade, and grades are assigned based on the rubric found in the Introduction module under “Discussion Forums.”

There are two pathways to access course support.
