Late Work and Additional Course Policies: It is expected that all course assignments, including discussion postings and responses, will be submitted by the designated due date. Your instructor may clarify the calendar due date for your assignments. Assignments within each week are cumulative and reinforcing. Thus, all course assignments are to be completed and submitted. You are expected to consult your APA Manual for proper in-text and reference list citation formats. Errors in APA format and style may affect your grade. Furthermore, you are expected to apply feedback from your instructor to subsequent assignments, exhibiting your growth as an undergraduate student. Assignments must be submitted in a professional manner including your name, assignment title, and legible formatting, in APA format and style where appropriate. Work submitted after the stated deadline will not be accepted under any circumstances unless you have made prior arrangements with the instructor. Make-up work is considered late work. If you have not taken the time to schedule make ups with the instructor one week following a missed assignment, you will not be given credit for that assignment.
Contacting the Instructor:
Please include the following in your e-mail subject line so that I can easily recognize and read your e-mail: last name, first initial, and course number. For example, an e-mail sent by John Doe would include the following in the subject line: "SmithCPOLI2701". HPDS Instructors make every attempt to answer emails within a
48-hour period during normal business hours.
