Late Submissions--Don't bother, you receive a "0"

In this online course, you will submit your assignments and post to the discussions by the due date. If you have an emergency, please send me an Inbox message or email as soon as you are able. The due dates are meant to keep us on track! Check the calendar in Canvas for due dates and reminders, and set your notifications in your account settings. A handy tip is to set a calendar item or alarm on your phone to remind yourself of the due dates. Each week there is one discussion and at least one activity, all due twice a week at 11:59 pm. Deadlines are clearly stated on the assignments.

Avoid Confusion: Special Rule for "Discussions" The due date on your assignment is the SECOND OF TWO DATES.  The first is your initial posting of an assignment. BUT, only the second date is on your calendar; that's when you respond to other students' posts.
