I know real life can get in our way more than once, so if you think you will need more time to complete your homework and/or extra credit, there’s no problem with that! You can ask for an extension and I will grant it. I just ask for one thing: please ask for it at least 3 days before the due date. That way I will know you weren’t just rushing to finish your homework at last minute. Thanks!!
To be inclusive at HOL is very important for our community, so if you rely on assistive technology or have any other needs that should be taken into account, please contact me as soon as possible, so I can offer you another options for certain parts of the assignments.
