posted ‎‎Nov 19, 2008 7:11 AM‎‎ by Jeffery Loo   [ updated ‎‎Nov 19, 2008 7:56 AM‎‎ ]

WHAT TO SUBMIT
  • In our October meeting, we agreed upon the nature of your final assignment and your reflective journal.  You will be submitting those deliverables to me.
SUBMISSION
  • For oral presentations of your final assignment or reflective statement, please make an appointment with me.
  • For written final assignment reports or reflective statements, please email me your files as an email attachment to jloo@email.unc.edu
    • Upon receipt, I will promptly send you an email confirmation.
DUE DATES
  • Please submit your materials or meet with me before December 5th, 2008, 5PM.
  • Life happens, so you will not be penalized for late submissions up to a week.  However, late submissions may mean delayed qualitative feedback on your work.
  • If by Friday, December 12, 5PM, I do not receive your final assignment and reflective journal, you will receive an "Incomplete" for your grade.  According to University policy, this is a temporary grade that converts to F* at the end of eight weeks into the next semester unless the student makes up the incomplete work.
ONE-ON-ONE MEETING WITH JEFF
  • I know you are busy this time of year, so a November meeting with me will be OPTIONAL.  I encourage you to meet or call me and discuss your project or anything else.  Please email with potential appointment times.
  • If you would like to meet but can't do so in November, we can see each other in the new year.  Please remember, I would be happy to meet you or call you at any point in the future regarding your learning about health sciences information.
