Aim to have all of your assignments done within 24 hours before they are due. Why? Because life happens and when you wait until the last minute, you're more likely to have problems meeting due dates. Have patience and a sense of humor with technology. Ask for help when you need it, and assist others when possible. If you identify a challenge in meeting a due date, contact me right away to ensure you don't get overwhelmed by unfinished work. I am willing to be flexible.
