What I expect from you...
- Academic Integrity is a requirement! Your work must be your own words at all times. Click here for more info on academic integrity.
- Check your Genius messages every day. Important information from teachers is sent through Genius.
- Log in and submit work weekly (minimum of once per week even if you are ahead).
- You must earn a 70% or higher on all projects, quizzes, and tests to move forward. You have 2 attempts on quizzes and tests. You may use your notes. If you do not earn a passing score of 70% or higher on these assignments, you will be stopped in your class. I will see this (within 3 business hours) and send you an email/genius message. Please look for my message. If you do not see one after three hours contact me.
- Try your best to stay on pace or ahead in your course. The flexibility of virtual learning is one of the benefits! You can complete your work any time of day or night!
- Don't procrastinate! Remember the saying "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong?" Well that happens. If you wait until the last minute to submit work and your computer crashes, then what? Do not under any circumstances wait until the last week or two to complete your course. This is not conducive to learning and will not allow you time to revise your work if necessary. It is best to work ahead to plan for these unforeseen circumstances.
- Always ask for help if you need it! That's what I'm here for!

- I will do my best to respond to all voicemails and text messages within 3 business hours (M-F). I do not respond to missed calls. If you need a call back, please leave a voicemail or send a text message. Please refrain from leaving multiple messages within a 3 hour period.
