Facilitator Availability
I am available from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Pacific Time on most days, but I attempt to reserve Sunday for my family. On Saturdays, I tend to be online in the morning only. If these times are not convenient for you, please let me know. I will be happy to accommodate your schedule, if possible. I provide you with these times to make it easier to communicate with me, and not to limit our contact.
I want you to know that, should you need to contact me outside these time frames, you should not hesitate to do so.
For emergencies, when you are not able to gain access to messages in the classroom, please send a message to my personal email address. In the event a third party needs to contact me, please direct them to my contact information listed under "facilitator information." No third party should use your login credentials to gain access to the classroom.
Late Assignments
Late assignments receive a 10% deduction for each day they are late if assignments are not posted by 11:59 p.m. M.S.T. on the day they are due. Assignments more than 4 days late will not be accepted. Technological issues are not considered valid grounds for late assignment submission. In the event of a University of Phoenix server or classroom outage, students should submit assignments to the instructor via email to demonstrate timely submission and when systems are restored, submit those assignments according to syllabus instructions. Unless an Incomplete grade has been granted, learner assignments submitted after the last day of class will not be accepted.
Learning Teams
One of the learning goals at the University is to help students develop the skill of effective collaboration and team competence.
Several of the assignments in this class will be completed in Learning Teams of four to six students. I will set up these teams by the end of Week 1. If you have any requests for teammates, please let me know by Thursday of the first week via private message. Learning Team Charters and Peer Evaluation forms are required. Please see the instructions in the weekly sections of the syllabus for more information about the team assignments.
University of Phoenix students are expected to work effectively in diverse groups and teams to achieve tasks. They must collaborate and function well in team settings as both leaders and followers. They should respect human diversity and behave in a tolerant manner toward colleagues and peers. If you experience difficulties
