Class Schedule

Online Course Management System: ETUDES-NG
 
 
Listed below are the due dates for all class work and other important dates.  Module web pages will open and close on the dates listed below.
 
Quizzes and written assignments are open from 12:15am on the day the module opens to 11:45pm on the day the module closes.   The test is open for only one day!  You must take the test on its due date between 12:15am and 11:45pm.  Regarding the discussions, you must make a minimum of four posts each week and each of these posts must be made on a different day (of course you may make more than four posts a week and more than one post each day).  See the Syllabus and the Important Class Information Module for more information on the discussions, quizzes, written assignments, test, and discussion assessments.
 
Please keep an eye on the dates!  This is very important.  Because you know all the dates far in advance and because you may take the quizzes, written assignments, and test any time during the extended 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.)

The first day of the semester is the first day of class.
