Class Schedule
Class: History 17A: Early
Instructor: Dave Bush
Semester: Spring 2008
College: College of the Siskiyous
Online: ETUDES-NG
Listed below are the due dates for all class work and other
important dates. You will be able to access each module's web page
approximately two weeks before the due date.
Objective quizzes are open for two
days, from 12:01am on the first day to 11:59pm on the second day. Written
assignments are open throughout the week and must be submitted before 11:45pm
on the last day of discussion. Tests are open for only one day!
You must take each of the two tests on its due date between 12:01am and
11:59pm. Regarding the discussions, you need to make your posts for
each week during the appropriate dates listed below. See the
Syllabus for more information on the quizzes, written assignments, tests, and
other assignments.
Please keep an eye on the due dates! This is very
important. Because you know all the due dates far in advance and because
you may take the quizzes, written assignments, and tests any time during the
approximately twenty-four to one week period they are available, late work is not
accepted. (I have also listed the drop dates on this schedule.
Confirm these drop dates with the Admissions and Records Office.)
Also, remember that you need to make a minimum of three
posts on the Discussion Board each week. (Since this is a summer class,
there will be only six Unit Discussion Boards.) These posts must be made
during the discussion dates listed below to count towards your grade.
Your posts can include responding to my posts, posting your own question, and
or responding to another student.
