Course Schedule-What’s Due When?

Pay close attention to these important dates.  I suggest that you print this page and keep it next to your computer for frequent reference.

  • The Icebreaker Module opens 1 week prior to the start of the course, and you should start on those activities as soon as possible.
  • The discussion forums for each learning module open on the start date and close on the end date. Posts submitted after the end date will not be graded.
    • Submit your initial posts (1 post in the discussion forum) during the first 3 days that the module is open.
    • Log-on and participate in each discussion forum on at least 4 different days – spread evenly throughout the length of the module. This gives everyone in the class a chance to read and respond to posts. 
    • Try VERY hard to submit your essays/papers and your writing lab assignments on time.  Falling behind in your work is a sure enough way to do badly.  I do not want that to happen to you.
