I understand that I will have multiple graded assignments due each week in ALEKS.  I will find the due dates for specific assignments in the Due Dates handout posted on the Canvas Home Page, on the Syllabus page and in this Start Here module.  I know that every assignment must be completed by 11:00 pm Central Time on the date it is due.  I further understand that failure to complete any assignment by the deadline will result in a grade of zero for the assignment.

I have read the syllabus, tentative schedule, and all other information in this module. I have contacted the instructor with any questions about them. I understand my responsibilities for this course.

It is not necessary for me to use the PowerPoint notes and watch the videos posted in Canvas.  I can go straight to my ALEKS assignments and expect to be successful without using them.

I understand that all communication between me and my instructor for this class will be conducted through the Canvas Inbox and announcements so I need to check on these daily. Furthermore, I will be responsible for the content of messages and announcements from my instructor whether I check them or not.
