This schedule is merely a guide. It will certainly change during the semester. Dates, deadlines, assignments, point values, and any or all policies may be changed or modified by the instructor. Changes will be announced in class or via the website. There may be unannounced quizzes during the semester.
More than ever, we will all need to be flexible and stay in touch as the semester moves forward
For technical help with hardware, software, computers, etc. you can always contact me. But you can also try our new Tech Help forum for Comm students.
