Illness
If you are not feeling well, please do not come to the in person classes. As this course is hybrid, and students can take it online, you will not miss any class material if you’re unable to attend because of illness.
If your illness is such that you cannot keep up with the class, please get in touch with me and we’ll work something out together.
Late Penalties
There is a zero tolerance policy for assignments in this course which means late assignments will not be accepted.
HOWEVER, all students get one “Life Happens” extension over the semester. That extension gives you an extra two days to hand in the assignment. To use this extension, please contact Dr. Wessell Lightfoot via the chatboard. You do not need to give a reason.
In addition, if you need extensions beyond the “Life Happens” one, please contact Dr. Wessell Lightfoot.
