9. Course Policy
This course will not allow students to have an incomplete grade due to the heavy dependency on group works.

10. Late Work
Late work will constitute a five percent (5%) per day penalty for the assignment (no exceptions unless otherwise negotiated with the instructor “prior to” the deadline).
Weekly postings & class feedback
Students will receive no point if they are late for these two postings.
Students can miss up to 2 postings on each (e.g., personal reasons, technical access problems, etc.)
If you have a problem to submit or post your assignments on Canvas, you need to them to the instructor and the TA by deadline.

11. Communication
A primary communication tool for this course is FSU .
When you to the instructor, cc the TA all the time and vise versa, unless it is personal and only one of us needs to pay attention to.
Canvas allows users to exchange messages in the system. There may be a delay to receive a response from either the instructor or the TA if you send messages through the system.
If you need an immediate answer or feedback from the instructor or the TA, you should use FSU .

12. DL Building Project Students’ Digital Library Projects
Testimonials from previous students
“"I learned a lot about creating a digital library, especially software that I might not have known about otherwise. The hands on practice is awesome, though some of the readings could be dry! ”
"This course is a lot of fun, but also demands a lot of time. Be sure you have sufficient time to commit to the class work, group meetings, and group assignments.“
"I think it'd be good for future students to know that they will actually be creating their own mini digital library through this course. That was an extremely useful process for me."

13. Group Project
This project requires a significant amount of group participation in order to complete the DL project.
Be polite and respectful of one another. Most importantly, communicate and collaborate with your members through the process of the DL development.
Enjoy this opportunity for group work! You will realize that group work can be more productive than individual work.
No free riders, lurkers, or “suckers are allowed in group projects. Thus, a peer-evaluation will be conducted at the end of the course, and it will be reflected in your term project grade.
