Pleаse Reаd (YES--ALL OF IT) аnd acknоwledge the statement belоw abоut the nature and progression of Summer Courses:Summer courses are considered "accelerated pace classes" and one DAY in a summer course = one WEEK during a regular fall/spring semester. For a 3-credit accelerated summer class, STC requires that there be SEVERAL HOURS of interaction with the course materials SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK (generally 6-8 hours per Module/chapter). Yep—I know, it sucks (for me too!). But….that’s how summer courses are required to work and that’s what you signed up for. In a summer course, you’re expected to do the SAME amount of work as you would during a regular Fall/Spring semester, just crammed in to only a few weeks. In this course, you are going to have assignments due EVERY OTHER DAY for the duration of the course. This is done in order to make sure students are staying on track, and not let assignments backlog (which would quickly make it impossible to catch up). These are small, low-effort assignments, but you WILL need to turn them in on time every day (I don't allow make-up work and have a *very* limited late submission window on bigger assignments). Having daily assignments let me know you are staying on track, and that’s one of the best indicators of succeeding in the course. In this course, there will ALWAYS be several Modules open ahead of time and you are welcome (and encouraged!) to submit work ahead of time. And just because it says “due” that day doesn’t mean you should wait to “do” it that day. To succeed in this course, you are encouraged to work ahead and submit assignments early to help you to manage your time more efficiently. Assignments are always going to be due at 5:00pm because after 5pm, STC Tech Support is closed, and I am no longer available after 5pm if you run into issues. If you don't like the 5:00pm deadlines, please do your work the night before!p.s.--If you think that regular and consistent daily participation with several hours of interaction with the course materials SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK will not be possible for you, it is best to take an a slower paced 15-week course during the fall/spring.
