• Additional Comments: Because this is a distance learning course, attendance is not an issue. Turning assignments in on time is. If you do not meet the second assignment deadline, I will assume you do not wish to stay in the class and will drop you unless you contact me. (The course syllabus has information on due dates for all projects.) After that, it is your responsibility to drop the course should you need to do so. Drops cannot be backdated. Contact the counseling center, the distance learning help desk, or the TCI instructional aides at TCI to drop the course.
