How To Be Successful In This Course
1. SUBMIT ASSIGNMENTS ON-TIME.
a. “Deadline” means the absolute last minute to submit an assignment.
b. Assignments are posted well in advance of the deadlines (in most cases, the assignment is posted at the beginning of the semester). Therefore, there are no excuses for missing a deadline.
c. The instructor suggests submitting assignments at least a few hours before the deadline to account for any problems which may arise (i.e., computer problems, internet/Wi-Fi outage, etc.).
d. If you choose to wait until the last minute to submit your assignment, you are taking the risk that something may go wrong which makes you miss the deadline.
e. In instances where you have not completed the entire assignment, submitting a partial assignment is better than missing the deadline as you will at least get partial credit.
f. This is the #1 reason students fail the course.
2. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS/INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
a. The instructor devotes a great deal of time to create detailed instructions. The instructions are specific for a reason (i.e., to make sure all students learn and/or practice using the appropriate course concepts, to make submissions more uniform, to make sure the submission is compatible with Canvas, to make the assignment easier to grade, etc.).
b. You are an adult and a college student; therefore, you should be able to follow directions as it will be required when you get a job. Attention to detail is important and will pay off in this course and your career.
c. If after carefully reading the directions you do not understand what is expected, email the instructor to ask for clarification.
d. Failure to follow directions will significantly decrease your assignment grade.
e. This is the #2 reason students fail the course.
3. PUT TIME AND EFFORT INTO YOUR COURSEWORK.
a. You will be graded on the quality of your work. Low-quality work will receive a lower grade than high-quality work.
b. High quality work means: following directions exactly; devoting time and effort (which will be evident in the work you submit) to completing the assignments; using college-level writing; having no grammatical and/or spelling errors; demonstrating course topics/concepts are clearly understood and utilizing them appropriately; completing all sections/questions correctly; and going beyond the minimum required.
c. Putting time and effort into your coursework is the best way to ensure you are adequately prepared for a career in this field.
d. Procrastination, laziness, and completing subpar work are hard habits to break. If you get in the habit of performing at a high-level now, you are much more likely to transition that work ethic into your career (where it really matters and could increase your earnings and/or career opportunities).
e. You are a student at a university which you chose to attend, and in a program/course which you chose to enroll in. Therefore, you should be interested in the topics being discussed/assigned and want to learn them (if not, then maybe you should consider a change in your area of study).
Excuses I Hear Every Semester (and my responses)
1. “I couldn’t submit my assignment before the deadline because my assignment didn’t save properly, or I lost the file.”
a. Hard drives, flash drives, and other technology eventually fail. You should be saving your files/documents in multiple locations to make sure they are properly backed-up and you don’t lose your work.

c. You could create a hotspot with your mobile phone and use that internet connection.
d. Don’t wait until the last minute to submit assignments.
4. “I accidently submitted the wrong assignment or the wrong version of the assignment.”
a. Attention to detail is important. Take the time to double-check you have attached the correct document and/or the correct version of the document.
b. Appropriately label your documents when saving so different versions can be easily identified.
5. “I attached my document/assignment in Canvas, so I don’t know why it isn’t showing up.”
a. Attention to detail is important. Take the time to double-check you have attached the document/file in Canvas.
b. You can verify a document was attached by clicking on “View Submission.” Any attached documents will show up under “Submission Details.”
6. “I took the exam, but Canvas shows I have a zero.”
a. Always double-check the gradebook after taking exams to make sure your grade recorded correctly.
b. Email the instructor immediately (not after the deadline) if there are any issues with your score.
7. “I couldn’t submit my assignment before the deadline or couldn’t come to class because I got called into work or I had to work.”
a. Many students work and attend college. The instructor cannot give special treatment or utilize a different grading scale because you have a job.
b. Time-management is important, and this will not change once you graduate (i.e., you will always have to juggle and make time for competing priorities).
8. “I couldn’t complete the assignment before the deadline because I didn’t understand the directions.”
a. Always email the instructor to ask for clarification if you do not understand what is expected on an assignment.
b. You can ask a classmate to see if they know what to do.
c. Don’t wait until the last minute to start an assignment as the instructor may not have time to answer your question before the deadline.
9. “I couldn’t submit my assignment before the deadline because I was out-of-town and didn’t have my computer or internet/Wi-Fi access.”
a. Time-management is important. If you know you are going out-of-town, plan ahead and complete the assignment before you leave.
b. Plan ahead and double-check/verify that the location will have computer and/or internet access.
10. “I couldn’t complete the assignment because I don’t have the textbook yet.”
a. The required textbook is listed on the syllabus. The instructor cannot delay coursework for the first few weeks in the semester to wait for everyone to get the textbook delivered.
b. You can ask a classmate to borrow their textbook.
c. The library usually has a copy of the textbook which you can check-out for a few hours.
d. You can usually get an e-book version of the textbook, so you don’t have to wait for one to be delivered.
11. “I completely forgot about the assignment or thought it was due later.”
a. The “Course Schedule” clearly shows what day and time assignments are due for the entire semester. Print this out and refer to it often.
b. Canvas shows the deadline of all assignments.

Important Notice for F-1 Students taking Distance Education Courses
Federal Regulation
To read detailed Immigration and Customs Enforcement regulations for F-1 students taking online courses, please go to the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations website (http://www.ecfr.gov/). The specific portion concerning distance education courses is located at Title 8 CFR 214.2 Paragraph (f)(6)(i)(G).
The paragraph reads:
(G) For F-1 students enrolled in classes for credit or classroom hours, no more than the equivalent of one class or three credits per session, term, semester, trimester, or quarter may be counted toward the full course of study requirement if the class is taken on-line or through distance education and does not require the student’s physical attendance for classes, examination or other purposes integral to completion of the class. An on-line or distance education course is a course that is offered principally through the use of television, audio, or computer transmission including open broadcast, closed circuit, cable, microwave, or satellite, audio conferencing, or computer conferencing. If the F-1 student’s course of study is in a language study program, no on-line or distance education classes may be considered to count toward a student’s full course of study requirement.
University of North Texas Compliance
To comply with immigration regulations, an F-1 visa holder within the United States may need to engage in an on-campus experiential component for this course. This component (which must be approved in advance by the instructor) can include activities such as taking an on-campus exam, participating in an on-campus lecture or lab activity, or other on-campus experience integral to the completion of this course.
If such an on-campus activity is required, it is the student’s responsibility to do the following:
(1) Submit a written request to the instructor for an on-campus experiential component within one week of the start of the course.
(2) Ensure that the activity on campus takes place and the instructor documents it in writing with a notice sent to the International Student and Scholar Services Office. ISSS has a form available that you may use for this purpose.
Because the decision may have serious immigration consequences, if an F-1 student is unsure about his or her need to participate in an on-campus experiential component for this course, s/he should contact the UNT International Student and Scholar Services Office (telephone 940-565-2195 or email internationaladvising@unt.edu) to get clarification before the one-week deadline.
Student Verification
UNT takes measures to protect the integrity of educational credentials awarded to students enrolled in distance education courses by verifying student identity, protecting student privacy, and notifying students of any special meeting times/locations or additional charges associated with student identity verification in distance education courses.
