[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 photography work done early so that you can concentrate on other classes or extracurriculars is likely always an option. Assignment Do-overs: If you turn in an assignment on-time and, for one reason or another, the work shows that you did not completely grasp the technical requirements or aesthetic concepts of the assignment, there may be the opportunity to redo the assignment following a discussion with the instructor. It is important to know that the request to redo an assignment may be initiated by the student or by the instructor. The benefits of the do-over assignment are: • Another opportunity to learn and execute the technical requirements or aesthetic concept of the assignment. • An opportunity to improve the letter grade for the week’s assignment. The following stipulations apply: • A student cannot illustrate a total lack of effort on the original assignment and expect to have the opportunity for a do-over. Redo assignments are granted by the instructor for work that showed effort and dedication, but, for one reason or another missed certain requirements or aspects of the assignment. In other words, redo assignments are granted at the instructors discretion for “foul balls,” not “strikeouts.” • Do-over assignments will only be granted if the original work was turned in on time unless the instructor had previously allowed, in writing, the assignment to be turned in late. Assignments turned in late without prior permission from the instructor will not rate the opportunity for a do-over. (See section on late assignments.) • Even though there may be the option for a do-over of an assignment, if you have questions about an assignment’s technical or aesthetic requirements, it is in your best interest to seek clarification or further explanations from the instructor prior to creating your assignment and uploading it. Before the deadline, students are encouraged to send the instructor (or fellow students) example work to ask and determine if the work is meeting the requirements of the assignment. Depending on the instructor’s schedule and other factors, a reply prior to the assignment deadline is not always guaranteed.
