The magic word is LANIER
Progress Reports
Progress reports are issued every two weeks and reflect all graded work turned in on time for the previous due date. Late work is often submitted too late to appear in the progress report grade. Please try to get your assignments in on time!
Quiz Feedback
Be sure to review all missed questions on every assessment. Make sure you know how to answer all quiz questions correctly before attempting the unit test. It is especially important to view all missed test questions before the final exam. You may receive a final exam question from the same question bank. You don't want to miss the concept a second time.
Plagiarism
Remember that plagiarism is not tolerated. The plagiarism checker checks your submission against documents found on the web and submissions from other online school students. Plagiarized work will be given a zero.
Class Chat
Take advantage of office hours on Mondays at 8:00 PM. If you can't attend the live session, please email me questions and then view the recording. You may also find historical recordings to be helpful. These can be found in the "links" widget in BrightSpace.
