Online leаrning requires plаnning аnd cоntingency plans fоr unfоreseen events. Don't wait until the last day; technical issues don't warrant extensions. Computer malfunctions, work schedules & personal/family problems are not reasons for extensions. We recommend completing all exams & assignments at least 48 hours before the deadline. During exams keep face in the webcam, Don't talk, & turn off all electronic devices. Electronic devices should not be with the student. Any violation of these rules will result in a zero grade for the exam. Each exam and assignment is available for 1 week, providing ample time to address any concerns. Recently, students had to take a lower-level class [i.e. BIO 112] prior to this advanced B210 class improving their grade point & future success. If > 1 year since taking a lower-level class, retake that lower-level class Before taking this advanced 200 level class.  Most students who have not earned at least a B grade in a lower-level BIO class fail this class. The earlier a student transfers to the appropriate class, the better the outcome.
