This is not a self-paced course. You must complete assignments week by week, as scheduled. You are responsible for your own learning in this class. Success in online classes depends largely on your degree of self-motivation and determination to keep up with the class schedule. I make an announcement each week on what is due that week It is your responsibility to stay informed of class assignments week by week, including any changes to the original schedule or assignments, as announced. Be sure your Announcements box on our course page in ANGEL is always set to show Present Announcements. A complete syllabus and course calendar will be posted the week before classes begin.
