Resubmitting Essays and Late Work Resubmitting Essays 1-3 That's right! You can resubmit Essays 1-3 for a different grade. I will provide feedback on assignments and essays that you can then use to improve your understanding of the content, writing ability, or critical thinking about the text. Essay resubmits are usually due by Week 17, but more information will be provided within the module and assignment page. Late Work I will expect that you will strive to complete each assignment by the due date. But I recognize that you are juggling a lot and there may be days when completing coursework is not your top priority. If you anticipate the need for an extension, please send me a message in advance (as much as possible) of the due date so I am aware of your situation. Propose an alternative due date that you feel is reasonable (I advise no more than 48-hours to ensure you do not get behind). I will reply with an agreed upon due date to support your success. Receiving an extension/late points on discussion boards or social annotations will not be permitted. The very nature of discussions is to have a conversation around/about the content that is interactive and timely. For an asyncherous class (like this class), it's important to have "due by dates" so everyone has time to plan and participate. If students are interacting on discussion boards or social annotations past the due by dates, there is a chance that students (and I) will miss the awesome things you want to share because we will be focused on the next discussion or assignments. We want to read and engage with people in this class. Please make every effort to participate and engage in the weekly discussions.
I think everything stated in this section is very fair, especially because I also work 30-40 hours a week. The rule about not getting extensions on discussion boards or social annotations makes sense and will help us to participate and get the most out of learning. I also like how we can give an alternative due date as long as it is reasonable because it gives us flexibility for our other classes and also for work and things outside of school.
