I will grade submissions at least twice per week, so you will know your score in a day or two after you submit. Also, I may add a comment to your answer in Formative. You can also ask me questions through the comment feature in Formative or email me directly at rshaw@fergflor.org.
As lessons are released, they will stay open, so if you miss a week because of a trip, you can catch up. You can also redo any questions or lessons as many times as you wish.
Let's get started!
Sincerely,
Dr. Shaw
