• When receiving a critique, keep an open mind and don’t get defensive. Remember, no one is attacking you or your work. The goal is to learn. You cannot learn with a closed mind or defensive attitude. Late Assignments In the professional world, punctuality and meeting (or beating) deadlines are important to not only impressing those you work for; they are important to keeping your job! You should always strive to upload assignments before they are due. This is a hallmark of professionalism as a student, employee, and employer. Late assignments will be penalized 20% for the first 24-hour period they are turned in after the deadline and 10% for each 24-hour period after that. For instance, if an assignment is due at 0000 hrs local time on Sunday night, and the assignment is turned in at 0001 hrs on Monday, the maximum grade for that assignment will be 80%. If an assignment is turned in after 0000hrs on Monday night, the maximum grade will be 70% of the maximum grade earned. Maximum Grades for Late Assignments: • Turned in 1 day late - 80% • Turned in 2 days late - 70% • Turned in 3 days late - 60% • Turned in 4 days late - 50% • Turned in 5 days late - 40% • Turned in 6 days late - 30% • Turned in 7 days late - 20% • Turned in 8 days late - 10% • Turned in 9 days late or later - No credit A “day” is a 24-hour period after the midnight deadline.

Never assume that my acknowledgement of receipt of notification that an assignment will be late is permission to turn in an assignment late. When I give you permission to be late with an assignment, I will state it very clearly (Example: “You have permission to turn in the Week 2 assignment late on [new deadline].”). If you do not see verbiage like shown in the example, do NOT assume you have permission to turn in an assignment late. If you feel that I am unclear, please continue to engage me until we reach clarity. In online classes, assignments are known well in advance of the deadline. If you see a busy week or weekend on the horizon, you are responsible to manage your time so that you can get your assignments in on time. Getting your
