The Syllabus:

The Syllabus No surprises Everything you need to do is in the syllabus Read the syllabus carefully and check things off as they are successfully turned in! All of the due dates are in the syllabus along with how to submit work You should keep a printed copy of the syllabus

Technical issues/Personal Problems:

Technical issues/Personal Problems When you encounter a technical issue don’t sit on it and let it fester, this creates BIG problems – CALL SOMEONE that can help you, either the school or the instructor! If you get sick or have an emergency, don’t wait around letting weeks go by, call or email me right away so that I can advise you. Most of all don’t procrastinate, you will get behind, you will be upset, and you will most likely not like what happens.
