Weekly Projects and Tasks

At the end of each week, you will be asked to complete a quiz and either a self-assessed or peer reviewed task. Each sled-assessed or peer reviewed project (four self-assessed and two peer-reviewed) consists of two components: a small project and either completing a self assessment OR reviewing five of your peers. 

If you do not complete the self assessment or the peer review portion of each project you will receive an incomplete for that week. Remember to keep the time zone in mind when you are submitting your assignment. Unfortunately, we cannot extend deadlines or accept late assignments.
