    • NOTE: If an assignment is not handed in after the due date has passed, you will receive a zero in Powerschool until you hand that assignment in.
    • DOUBLE NOTE: Assignments are to be done on your own, not with the help of a friend or tutor. If you are having trouble, email me and I will offer the help! If your marks on assignments are dramatically higher than marks on tests, we will have to have a discussion about this.
    • TRIPLE NOTE: You should be citing your research in MLA or APA format. Talk to me if you don't know how to do this.
    • SUPER NOTE: Submit assignment files as Powerpoint (ppt), PDF or DOC. Do not submit ODF, PAGES, KEYNOTE, or others... I will make you resubmit/reupload if you do. This is due to what filetypes Moodle can actually interpret

    ASSIGNMENT FEEDBACK & MY AVAILABILITY
    Submitted assignments will be marked within 7 full days. Expect the turn-around to be 5-7 days.
    General written feedback will be given on Moodle for all assignments. It is up to you to request specific feedback for your assignments.

    I am here to help you with your course! If you are struggling on one of the projects or are having trouble with a concept, please feel free to contact me.
