Course pace: The course has new material with homework every weekday Monday to Thursday with tests usually on Friday. You will need to engage with the course on a daily basis.
Submissions policy: Homework is due at the start of the next class day. Late submissions are accepted up to a week late.
Participation policy: The homework occurs in Google Sheets. Google Sheets supports interactive commenting. This will be one of the principal means by which we interact as I provide guidance on how to correct errors made in the homework. Participation will also be tracked via analytics available in Schoology.
Communication policy: I can be contacted through the messaging capability in Schoology or via email at danaleeling@gmail.com. You can also contact me through these channels to request to set up a Zoom meeting with me. I do make every effort to respond to messages within 24 hours.
