E-mails, Blogs, and Forums

E-mails will be answered between Monday and Friday as late as 7:00 pm and must be about the class.  E-mails will be answered the next day or in two days maximum.  I expect the same answering time for any e-mails sent to you.  Forums are a place where you can write any doubts or questions that you may have. Anyone can answer as long as it is done in a respectable way the opinions of everyone must be respected.  I will also be checking and answering the forums twice a week.  Blogs will be written once a week and will be checked and give 5 points for each one written.

Assignments

Assignments will be given on a weekly basis and will be checked and corrected no later than Tuesday of the following week.  Any assignment not done on time can be handed in the following week but will be deducted points.
