In the course, virtually all assignments will be submitted electronically via Canvas. This is done in the Assignments section of Canvas. We will explain how to do this during your first lab meeting. Other assignments will be submitted as HTML webpages, which will also be explained during lab sessions.
Always double check that your assignment has been submitted, as Canvas occasionally fails to upload correctly. It is your responsibility to make sure that the uploaded submission is viewable and complete; you can accomplish this by re-downloading your submission from Canvas.
You are allowed to re-submit assignments until the due date, at which point you will only be able to submit once.
Backups
Save a copy of the assignments that you complete for this class to Google@IU or OneDrive@IU. If you forget to turn in an assignment we will only accept said assignment if we can see the version history in one of these services. We will not accept the last modified dates on local files. Missing the submissions but having a verifiable file history does not guarantee that you will receive credit; this is at the discretion of a course instructor. We typically only allow this to occur once for each student.
Late Policy
The due dates on the course schedule and on Canvas are firm. If you do not turn in your assignment on time, you can turn it in by the listed close date for 50% of the credit. After that time we will no longer accept submissions for the assignment.
- Most assignments will close 7 days after the due date.
- Some assignments, like quizzes/discussions that help you prepare for lecture, close in a much shorter window.
Technology Buffer
There will be a 15 minute buffer added to every due date in case there are network issues while uploading your assignment. If you utilize this technology buffer, contact your lab instructor to remind them of this policy. This is not meant to be used habitually and will be granted (after the first occurance) at instructor discretion.
Written Assignments
Most written assignments in the course will be turned in via TurnItIn (through Canvas) or run through TurnItIn.
Leave yourself ample time before the due date to make a submission to these assignments, as the process for turning in these assignments can take a bit longer.
If you run into issues, do not email your assignment (this will not count as a submission) and instead follow the TurnItIn Troubleshooting instructions on your Canvas site.
