Additional Comments: Because
this is a distance learning course, attendance is not an issue.
Turning assignments in on time is. Students must stay on the
assignment schedule. Not keeping current is the equivalent of
missing classes. As you will see in the attached syllabus there is a
system in place for late arrival of materials.
