Course Policies
Attendance Policy:
There is no official "attendance policy" for this course. However, it is expected that students are checking Blackboard and their NVCC email at least once per week to stay current with the course, stay informed about announcements, and submit work on time.
Grading Turnaround Time:
The instructor will aim to have assignments graded within 5-7 days of the assignment due date. Assignments will not be graded as they are submitted, but rather the instructor will begin grading once the due date has passed and all assignments are submitted. The instructor will leave comments regarding the grade in the Grade Center in Blackboard and it is your responsibility to read these comments and email the instructor if you have any questions.
Late Work Policy:
- This is a fixed deadline class which means that you must submit all grade activities when they are due. Assignments and other graded work submitted after the due date will receive a 0. It is the student's responsibility to meet the due dates or communicate *in advance* with the instructor the need for an extension.
- No late extra credit will be accepted.
- Assessments should be taken during the week assigned. Assessments taken within one week past the assessment due date will receive a 10 point deduction from their assessment score. Assessments taken more than a week past the due date will receive a 0 unless instructor approval is granted.
