Deadlines
Unlike other coursework in your course (e.g., quizzes, active learning, etc.), written assignments are not designed to be submitted at your own pace. Written assignments are due at a set time, and failure to submit the assignment results in a 0 unless an extension has been granted.
Assignment deadlines can be found in your Course Homepage and your Course Syllabus.
