Our Schedule / Staying on Pace
The due dates for your class assignments are here.  Please be sure to stay on-task with your work.  You can do so by working through the assignments that are "Due Soon" on your Home Page.  You are expected to complete all of your work in order, and on time.  You're welcome to work ahead, but try not to fall behind.  It's always more difficult to catch up than it is to stay on track.  Contact me if you have any questions!
