Please review it and contact me if you have any questions. For further information about the Honor System of the University of Virginia, here.AssignmentsThe course syllabus provides an outline of the assignments and when completed assignments are due. Because of the nature of the course, all assignments must be completed on time. We must deduct points for late assignments. We strongly encourage you to stay ahead of your assignments, because unforeseen problems often occur with technology (and life), and we will not be able to give you extensions.Grade DeterminationWe do not anticipate giving quizzes or exams for this course. Your grade will be solely determined by how you do on the weekly assignments. Part of the assignment usually includes you making comments on classmates' work. That is why it is essential for your own work to be completed on time. |
