Course Materials: Spring 2008 Calendar
Examine the schedule below. The first column contains dates. The second column contains activities you should work on during the week indicated by the date. The third column showns specific assignments that are due on the date indicated in the first column.
All assignments are due by MIDNIGHT (Central Standard Time) on the dates listed.
Please note: Time stamps will be according to the OnCourse server. If your computer is set to a different time than the server is, you may want to make a note of this and plan accordingly. Please do not forget Mr. Murphy and his law, either. If you are counting on being able to submit an assignment "in the nick of time," the chances of Murphy's law being put into play are quite high. I suggest that you allow a generous cushion of time when submitting assignments, just in case something goes wrong and you need some time to troubleshoot the problem.
Note on Due Dates:
One advantage of this type of course is flexibility. However based on my
experiences teaching online, it's important to establish due dates. The
due dates are provided to ensure that all students are successful in this
course. Please let me know if you need to change these dates because of
personal or professional responsibilities.
SPROUTS are all due on the FRIDAY of the indicated week. The dates listed on the left are for the Mondays of the weeks. Remember, 8 of the 12 Sprouts are required, with the additional 4 being optional to you as extra credit opportunities. I know the reading looks heavy, but I made the calendar as if a student would complete all Sprouts. You don't have to tell me in advance which 8 you'll complete, just be sure that you do complete them.
