Additional Comments: Because this is an online course, attendance is
not an issue. Turning assignments in on time is. If you do not meet the
first assignment deadline, I will assume you do not wish to stay in the
class and drop you unless you contact me. After that, it is your
responsibility to drop the course. Drops will not be backdated. Contact the
counseling center or the distance learning help desk to submit drop slips.
