Spring Recess (Note: This is a different week than most
public K-12 schools and Los Rios Community Colleges
take)
This would be a fabulous time to conduct the telephone
and internet surveys!
Cesar Chavez Day (Observed); Campus Closed
(Yep, that means two weeks off for this class.)
Come in for Quiz,
Data Collection: You are out collecting data on campus
(remember, you need to complete at least 5 face-to-face
intercept interviews and 5 intercept self-administered
surveys EACH… for a total of 10 surveys each group
member, translating to 50 completed intercept surveys per
group.
Plus you will need to complete 5 telephone surveys and
the entire group will need to get 25 internet surveys via
Google forms.
NOTE: You are not limited to class time for data collection.
You can (and probably should) do it outside of class
time…

Late Assignments/Make-Up Exams/In-Class Activities
•
•
Late Assignments: Assignments are due at the beginning of the class session in which they are due.
Thus, if the class is scheduled to start at 9:00 a.m., any papers received (in person or via email) at 9:01 a.m.
or later will be considered “late” and will be penalized according to the following:
• Same calendar day as due date – 50% penalty (e.g., on a 10-point assignment, you will lose 5 points). It
matters not if it is 5 minutes late or 4 hours late; late is late.
• No late papers accepted after midnight (12:00 a.m.) on the due date.
• If you decide to email your assignments:
o Please email early enough to determine if your message “bounced.” Make sure you have keyed in
the right email address ([email protected]). I will try to send a confirmation email when I
receive it, but you shouldn’t rely on this.
o Additionally, do not delete your sent email! As I often check email away from a computer and a
printer, I may confirm that I received it and then forget to record the grade when I get to a computer.
Make-Up Exams/In-Class Activities: I understand that things come up (friends get married, people
oversleep, employers don’t understand that classes are a priority for you, etc.). If you know in advance (e.g.,
the work situation), I will try to accommodate you by scheduling the exam prior to the original scheduled
day.
If you think you have a justifiable reason for rescheduling an exam, you must provide appropriate
documentation (e.g., note from a doctor).
• Exams: If you do not attend on a scheduled exam day AND you don’t inform me in advance so that we
can schedule at a mutually convenient time, you will be minus the points allocated for the exam.
o In-Class Activities: Any in-class activities for which points are allotted cannot be made up. (Note: Some
in-class activities may not be announce in advance.)
