Important Notes:
1) Statutory Holidays – Monday September 6, 2010 & Monday October 11, 2010 – No Classes
2) “In-class Activities” refer to the time that is scheduled after a formal lecture for active application of the
learning material. Students may be placed into small groups and expected to contribute equally to the activity requirements.
Failure to contribute will affect your final Application Mark and is at the discretion of the professor. Please note that these marks cannot be made up. If you feel that an application mark is missing you must inform the professor within 1 week of class. After that time, marks are final.
3) On-line Quizzes are to be completed individually by each student. Due dates will be identified on each individual quiz. No extensions will be permitted. Students are responsible to ensure a final grade for every quiz attempt appears in their Bb student grade book. Locked quizzes can only be opened by the professor. You must provide twenty-four (24) hours notice to the professor for your locked quiz to be reset.
4) All hybrid assignments must be submitted through the assignment tab.
