Assignments & Assessments
To-Do
At the end of each chapter, you will find the Grader activities (they have a clipboard and pencil icon). You have five attempts for these so you can utilize Pearson's feedback to improve. Each chapter also has a Final which you will find in the Finals folder. Treat these like assignments. In total, you will have six for-marks activities as indicated in the schedule. You will find video demos for each on the course page linked above.
An easy way to keep track of your progress is to utilize the Grades Tracker Form.
Deadlines
All six activities are due next Friday 13th January (spoooooky) before 4pm. If you need an extension, please reach out prior to noon on Thursday 12th. You can find details of policy here.
