  5. Letter to Students Show credibility, share background and real world experience Welcome! I am pleased to have the opportunity share this 7-week journey with you. I hope you will feel free to share some “public” details about yourself on the Week One Introductory Post. I look forward to getting to know each of you. Please read the syllabus carefully. Objectives and requirements for the course are included as well as weekly outlines. More details concerning each activity can be accessed from the Assignments tab. Please direct any questions to me. Signed by instructor Welcome Students!! My name is xxxxxxxxxxx and I will be your Online (Cyber) Instructor for the next block. Just a quick paragraph about myself before you read on…You will find that I love to communicate with my students…having seven brothers and sisters and coming from a large Polish and Ukrainian family, you will find that I am quite the extravert! Cooking/Baking, family fun activities and continuous improvement on various levels of learning are all part of my makeup! I look forward to adding you to what I call my “Party of Knowledge” and can’t wait to meet each of you in Cyberspace! More messages to come…see ya!

  6. What to Expect from the Instructor • Availability • Contact Info • Course Presence • Timely Feedback • Late Policy Policy on Late Work Late work will generally not be accepted. a. You are provided with a schedule of assignments at the beginning of the semester b. I expect you to keep up with the schedule. c. Assignments and exams are due by 11:55 pm (Eastern Time) on the date specified in the Schedule. If you submit an assignment 1 minute after the deadline, it is considered late. I do understand that occasionally legitimate situations which you cannot control will arise that will prevent you from meeting a due date. a. I am much more willing and able to accommodate you if you tell me about the situation and I approve the extension before the deadline. b. If you first tell me about the situation after the due date, especially if you wait several weeks, I will not be sympathetic, and am unlikely to grant you an extension. I may ask you to provide some appropriate documentation before I accept the late assignment. In the event of an extreme extenuating circumstance, I will consider accepting late work on a case by case basis. I may assess a late penalty of up to 25% per day (excluding weekends) for any work I accept late. This is at my sole discretion.
