Assignments

Important: Your assignments are evaluated by a qualified instructor, not a computer program. We use extended response assignments to best evaluate comprehension of the concepts and principles presented in the course. Each assignment requires a response that indicates you've read and comprehend the material. To make sure you do not receive an "incomplete" from the instructor make sure you:

Read the assignment carefully! Circle key words.
Do not copy/paste information from the text. Use your own words.
Do not skip an assignment. That's an automatic incomplete.
Do not submit a list when a discussion or description is required
Do not submit a one-word or short-phrase answer. Give it some thought.
Do not submit a "one-liner" response when a discussion, summary, or description is required
