Frequently Asked Questions:
"Can I complete a missed Daily Task?"
Daily Tasks require attendance as they contribute to both the attendance and contribution grade. Daily Tasks cannot be completed after the assigned day unless official documentation of an illness is provided. Missing Daily tasks cannot be completed at the end of term to raise overall grades.
"I forgot to to submit the daily task/essay and the portal is closed, can I email the work to you?"
Generally I do not accept work through email. All assignments must be submitted through the Canvas portal.

Final course grades will not be raised upon request.

No extra work/extra credit will be made available to raise final course grades.
"Can I have an extension on my essay?"
I generally grant extensions if requested for legitimate reasons. Please submit the request by email at least two days prior to the submission date. If an extension has been approved, I will provide you with a unique extension which you must include under the submission date on the first page of the essay. Should you not provide the code, the aporpriate late penalties will apply.
