Sometimes there are problems with eCampus that are beyond our control. Always consider possible problems and concerns with your computer and resources when evaluating the time and opportunities that you have in regards to assignments, tests, and other grades. You have more than enough time to complete assignments each week. Errors that are a result of computer failure of the student or errors that are due to poor management of time will not be excused. Forexample, if you wait until the last minute to take a chapter quiz or a check up quiz and YOUR computer fails I will not show leniency as you had all week to take these quizzes. When planning your week, always plan for extenuating circumstances when it comes to taking quizzes or tests. Problems with eCampus?
