Course Quiz Policies and Procedures for Anatomy and Physiology

Study Tip: While the "drop" policy provides a safety net, do not rely on it as a primary strategy. Aim to complete every quiz to the best of your ability to build a strong foundation for the cumulative Online Lecture Exams.

Late Work and Extension Requests

The course maintains strict deadlines to ensure the progression of the curriculum remains on schedule.

Deadlines and Submissions

Generally, no late work is accepted after the designated due date. All quizzes must be completed by the specified time (typically 10:00 PM EST on the due date).

How to Request an Extension

We understand that emergencies occur. If you require an extension or need to provide reasoning for a missed deadline, you must follow a formal communication process:

1. Method: All requests must be submitted via email.
2. Timing: You must send your request either prior to the due date or no later than three days after the due date.
3. Review Process: Please be aware that all extension requests are subject to review and may be denied based on established course policies.

Failure to adhere to these specific timing requirements for extension requests may result in the denial of your request.

Technical Issues and Troubleshooting

Technical malfunctions can be a source of significant stress during an assessment. To protect your grade, the course requires a very specific two-step protocol for handling connectivity or software issues.

Preparation

Before you begin any quiz, it is your responsibility to ensure you have a stable internet connection. Attempting a quiz on a weak or public Wi-Fi connection increases the risk of a "timed-out" submission, which cannot be reattempted.

The Two-Step Communication Protocol

If a technical failure occurs while you are taking a quiz, you must follow these steps in this exact order:

1. Step 1: Contact the HelpDesk FIRST. Your primary goal is to resolve the technical issue through official support channels.
2. Step 2: Notify the Instructor AFTER. Once you have initiated contact with the HelpDesk, you must send an email to the instructor to inform them of the situation.

Warning: Failure to follow this specific sequence—contacting the HelpDesk before notifying the instructor—may result in the forfeiture of your quiz attempt or the denial of any subsequent requests for makeup work.
