Late submissions to Bb Vista

Over the past few weeks Dr. Mitchell, Deepak, and I have noticed a large portion of our inboxes dedicated to students either forgetting to submit their course assignments on Bb Vista, submitting the wrong links, or something related. We have decided that we will no longer allow for corrections to submissions or submissions of assignments, blog posts, and etc past the due date times as set forth on Bb Vista.

This will go into affect officially next week. To help avoid problems in your assignment submissions, take note of the following:
  1. Stay Up to Date:There is something due every week in Bb Vista for our course. The Bb Vista assignments don't show up however until a week before they are due. You should be checking the course Bb Vista site every week to stay updated on everything.
  2. Check your Hyperlinks: Make sure you check your hyperlinks before you submit them. A lot of you end up submitting links to the blog post editor or to the blog post preview. These will not work for anyone except for you. Try following the hyperlinks in a different browser, or even following them after signing out of your Google account.
  3. Resubmissions Before Due Date: If you submit early and notice a mistake, you can still take your assignment, modify, and resubmit. This will only work however if it is done before the assignment due date. I've set it up in Bb Vista so that every single one of your assignments is due on a Wednesday at 9AM. The only variable is the week in which each assignment is due.
If you have trouble submitting or if Bb Vista is acting strangely, feel free to email anyone of us before the due date and we will gladly assist.
