General Instructions for HLED B1
· Make sure to post responses to the discussion questions each week. You will need to post your reply, and then respond to the posts of two other students to get full credit. Your answers should be thorough. “I agree” does not suffice. Submit at least these three posts to get full discussion credit for the week. Extra posts are great, but do not count for credit towards any other week of discussions.
· Tests and quizzes and assignments MAY NOT be made up. There will be two exams given during the semester. They are usually due by Sunday evening of each week, except finals week, ending on Thursday.
· All assignments will be turned in on the proper assignment page. You can either type in the box provided, or type it in Word and the paste it in. Whatever works for you. Do not open upload a file as I will not open them.
· The minimum word count for written assignments is 200 words. If no other amount is specified, then the 200 minimum shall apply.
· All communication will take place using the tools provided in the course. Please don’t send emails to my regular address, since it gets full very easily.
Discussion Boards:
Make sure to post proper responses in the discussion forum. Remember to keep responses respectful of differing views. We are certainly allowed to disagree on topics though. Answers should be thorough. Just saying “Yes” or “I agree” will not be considered responses in terms of receiving credit for participating in the discussion
