Submitted assignments are graded weekly, so anything you submit by Friday will be returned to you no later than the following Friday. There are several ways that I will provide feedback:

Bi-weekly personal emails: Every other week, you can expect an individual email from me to you, discussing your progress and offering suggestions for success on upcoming assignments/assessments.
Assignment comments/feedback: This is the most common, as I will post extensive comments on every assignment & assessment. These comments will be designed to encourage what you're already doing well, and offer you support for those areas that need work. I often put comments on your assignments themselves (not just in the comment box). If you're unsure how to see my comments, click on "Grades" in the left-hand menu. Then, click on the assignment & click "View feedback". You'll be able to see line-by-line comments on your document.
Discussion post responses: I will respond to your weekly discussion posts as well! This is will be especially obvious in our Rain of Gold discussions, as we will begin a class discussion on the book through our posts.

Most major assignments will be due at 11:59 pm Friday night, and generally no late work will be accepted.

However, you may submit THREE late assignments over the course of the semester. This includes reading responses, discussion posts, major essays...anything that's graded. In order to do this, follow these steps:

Email me BEFORE THE DUE DATE, using "Late- Name of Assignment" as the subject line. No need to include an explanation...we're all adults & things happen.
Email me WHEN YOU SUBMIT your work. Once I've graded an assignment, I won't go back to look for late submissions, so it's up to you to notify me.

Remember, you can only do this three times. If you use your "get out of due date free" cards early on in the semester...you'd better be on your game for the rest of the course!
