Explaining Course Structure and Routine
Example 1
Our class “weeks” will be from Thursday-Thursday. Weekly homework assignments must be uploaded no later than 5pm each Thursday. If you have not posted and/or responded to the weekly discussion board question by that time you will be marked as absent for the week. Review the Course Schedule for an overview of our weekly schedule and the dates of each week. New assignments and discussion board questions will become available 5pm each Thursday. Specific due dates for assignments are listed in the schedule and can also be found in the course calendar.
Example 2
The course will be broken up into "modules". Each module will run for two weeks. In the Laulima class there will be a link for every module. That link will bring you to a page much like this one in which there will be an introduction to the topic(s) for that 2 week period and a list of the readings and instructions for the assignment(s) along with due dates. Be sure to check into the course regularly and pay very close attention to the schedule to stay on track. Assignments may overlap or be due in a time frame shorter or longer than a module so keeping a calendar and being organized is important. In addition to the links to each module page, there will be an "assignments" section in which you can see a description of a particular assignment with its instructions, readings and due dates.
