• Exams: All quizzes and exams will be accessed by computer and will be timed to discourage open book and open notes.
• Additional Comments: Because this is a distance-learning course, attendance is not an issue. Turning assignments in on time is an issue. If you do not meet the first assignment deadline, I will assume you do not wish to stay in the class and will drop you unless you contact me. After that, it is your responsibility to drop the course. However, if you are not "attending" class, I will make every attempt to contact you to discuss with you if you are having difficulties I can help with. I am very interested in helping you succeed in this course.
