Grading of assignments may take one to two weeks, depending on the complexity of the assignment and the instructor's workload.  Feedback, when needed, will be posted on the assignment in the Grades link in Canvas.  Not all assignments will receive feedback, so be sure to view those comments from your instructor to better understand your grade and the assignment. 

*** I do not give extra credit assignments to individual students as a way to save their poor grades.  It's imperative to complete all regular assignments throughout the term to earn points!  

Only work submitted in Canvas by the due date and time will be graded. Any work submitted late will earn a zero, and I do not accept late work emailed to me because the assignment has closed.

Please plan ahead and see what assignments are coming up and how long it may take you to complete the activity. If extenuating circumstances arise, please send me a message in Canvas or an email before the assignment is due so that we can discuss each unique circumstance. A message or an email to me does not guarantee late work will be accepted (each circumstance will be evaluated).  Only college-appropriate excuses will be taken into consideration.

Technology issues don't always guarantee late work will be accepted so come up with a backup plan if you have computer or internet connection issues. Always check your submissions in Canvas to be sure they were submitted successfully! 

My goal is to help you to be successful, so notify me early to discuss issues you may have. I will be unable to offer you help if you wait until the due date for the assignment has passed.

AI Policy

As part of my ongoing commitment to promoting the development of 21st-century information literacy skills, I encourage the effective and responsible use of AI tools such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, Claude, and Grammarly to assist with your coursework. However, it is essential for you to understand that these tools should supplement your own intellectual work, not replace it. Consider AI an assistant, not a replacement. Approach AI as you would a human assistant or coach: use it as a sounding board for ideas, source hunting, structuring help, etc., but avoid letting it complete the assignment for you (this constitutes plagiarism). Remember that AI can't think; AI can generate and synthesize information, but it cannot create or think critically - only you can do that! Always be the human in the loop. And, remember that any verbatim copying and pasting of AI-generated output and presenting it as your original work is considered plagiarism and constitutes a violation of the KCC Academic Integrity PolicyLinks to an external site.. As with all sources, any text, ideas, images, or other products that you obtain from AI must be citedLinks to an external site.. For hundreds of examples tabulated by course, discipline, and institution, visit the Syllabi Policies for Generative AI RepositoryLinks to an external site., maintained by Lance Eaton.]

Students are expected to actively participate in the discussion board each week. Students are required to post an initial response to the discussion board prompt(s) no later than Wednesday by 11:59pm of the current week’s discussion board. Then each student must respond to the initial postings of at least two classmates by Friday at 11:59pm.

If a student fails to participate appropriately, the following actions may be taken:

1. The student will be dropped from the course,
   OR
2. If the date for dropping a course without penalty has passed, the student will receive a failing grade, unless prior arrangements have been made between the instructor and student.

A student who seeks an exception to this policy must do so in advance of the absence and/or provide documentation of the emergency that caused it, as determined by the instructor.
