Catching Up on Missed Work
Course Make Up Plan
- List all missed assignments for the course using the syllabus or Blackboard
- Confirm the missed assignment policy with your professor/syllabus - what missed work can still be turned in for a grade
- Note: Missed work may still need to be completed to be successful in the course, even if you will not receive points
- Prioritize for importance
- High priority: Needs to be completed ASAP
- Medium priority: Needs to be completed in order to complete other assignments / be prepared for future assessments
- Low priority: Needs to be completed by the end of the semester
- Assign new due dates to complete each assignment
- Estimate about how much time you will need to complete the assignment
- Fill assignments into the weekly to do list based on priority and new due date
- Schedule an office hour appointment to review with your professor
- Confirm ability to turn in missed assignments
- Confirm that you have properly prioritized assignments
- Ask your professor if they feel that this is a feasible plan to complete and be successful in the course
