Chemistry 40: Elementary Biochemistry

Please practice ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AT ALL TIMES. 

Group work

1. Groups are assigned at random. Please get to know your group mates, group messaging is allowed so you can contact them through the VLE messaging platform:  (found in the upper right corner of your page).
   
2. Please use the forums for discussions so that your interactions and contributions are documented. You are allowed to speak in whatever language that suits you, however, we would like to emphasize respect and disbar foul language.
3. For Group submission, a single submission from a group member will suffice. 
4. You will be asked to rate your team members and their contributions to a group work. Please rate them objectively. 
5. To all members, please actively participate and contribute to your group. They are your accountability and study team in this remote education.

Individual Work

1. All assignment submissions will be via the VLE platform unless otherwise indicated by the instructor.
2. Please read and follow instructions carefully especially when submission types are specified. 
3. If multiple submissions are done, only the most recent submission will be checked. 
4. Take note of deadlines and try to follow them as much as you can. We will try to post activities ahead of time so that you can make contingency plans in the submissions like internet/gadget access. 

Quizzes

1. Please assume that this is a normal classroom quiz with closed notes and no other tabs or googling available unless stated otherwise. 
2. Please be ready with your gadgets and internet accessibility when taking quizzes especially the timed ones. 
3. Please let your instructor know right away when you have trouble accessing quizzes.

Forums/Discussions

1. This is the main platform for class interactions and for posting of questions or clarifications. 
2. For class concerns, please put them here so that others who might have the same questions will be included and will also receive the answer. DO NOT INDIVIDUALLY MESSAGE the instructor for this. It will spam our emails/message boards and we might not be able to get to your question. 
3. Use this platform to simulate a normal class conversation. Again, no language specifics - formal or informal is fine - as long as we are respectful of each other. 

For Clarifications/Questions/Concerns

1. As stated, the main platform for posting these is through the forums. 
2. The main methods for contacting the instructors are through the forums and message boards.  
3. Email addresses or mobile numbers are secondary means of communication if the first two methods fail.
4. Please give us 24-72 hrs to respond to your queries. 
5. Live consultations (synchronous sessions) will also be platforms to address questions accumulated throughout the week or for other discussions.
