Please follow the directions that are provided on this page. In addition, it is crucial to keep a copy of all assignments that you send in. It is my policy to get all assignments graded and returned to the student within 2-3 days. If you do not receive confirmation that I have received your assignment within that time frame, you must notify me immediately. Online Grades will be provided each week. Do not wait until the end of the course to notify me of missing scores.

This course is an eight week course. The course begins on August 18, 2008 and will conclude on October 12, 2008.  It is very important to follow the directions for each week and complete each assignment during the week they are due.  This is a very time intensive course and it is difficult to complete the course if you fall behind in the assignments.

To complete the course you should expect to put in a minimum of six hours per week. In some instances it may take more than six hours to complete all of the work that is due that week. Although the assignments, quizzes and tests come primarily from the text, some questions may require using outside sources.

At the beginning of each week I will send out a group email reminding students what assignments are due at the end of the week and any other important information pertinant to the course requirements.

The research paper should be completed by the 6th week of the course of your study for Health 10. The Birth Control paper will be due in the 7th week and the oral interview should be completed completed by the 8th week.
