A. Important: After you have completed, uploaded, and tested your tutorial on the
CLC Web server, send your instructor a “Tutorial 2 Completed” e-mail.
B. The subject line of the e-mail you send your instructor should read:
CIT 171: YourLastName - Tutorial 2 Completed
where YourLastName is your last name
If you want to submit more than one tutorial for grading at the same time use this
e-mail subject line format:
CIT 171: YourLastName – Tutorials 1 - 2 Completed
CIT 171: YourLastName – Tutorials 1 - 3 Completed
C. This e-mail is the way you let your instructor know that your tutorial is ready to
be graded.

V. Your Instructor Will Grade Your Tutorial
A. Within 24 hours of receiving your “Tutorial 2 Completed” e-mail your tutorial
will be graded and your instructor will enter a score into your Blackboard
gradebook.
B. Allow at least 24 hours for your instructor to grade your tutorial from the time
you send your “Tutorial 2 Completed” e-mail.
C. Tutorials that can’t be accessed through the links on your home page located on
the CLC Web server will not be graded.
D. Your tutorial will not be graded if the “Tutorial 2 Completed” e-mail is not

VI. Follow-Up to Make Sure that Your Tutorial Has Been Graded Before the Due Date
A. Very Important: After you have sent your “Tutorial 2 Completed” e-mail, follow
up before the due date to make sure that your tutorial has been graded.
1. Follow up to make sure that your tutorial was graded by checking to see
that a Tutorial 2 score was posted in your Blackboard gradebook.
The Blackboard gradebook can be accessed by clicking on the Grades
button in the main menu of the Blackboard course.
2. If after 24 hours of sending your “Tutorial 2 Completed” e-mail you don’t
see an assignment score entered in the Blackboard gradebook then:
Check your CLC student e-mail account for an e-mail from your
instructor with information on why the tutorial could not be graded
and what you need to fix before the tutorial can be graded.
If there isn’t an e-mail from your instructor indicating there was a
problem grading your tutorial and you have verified that you tutorial
displays from the links on your home page located on the CLC Web
server, then send your instructor another “Tutorial 2 Completed”
e-mail immediately.
B. It is the student’s responsibility to follow up to make sure that their tutorial has
been graded before the due date.

VI. Follow-Up to Make Sure that Your Tutorial Has Been Graded Before the Due Date
(continued from previous page)
C. If your tutorial has not been graded before the due date you will not receive any
points for the tutorial.
1. Tutorials should be submitted for grading at least two days before the due
date.
2. To earn credit for a tutorial it is not enough to simply upload your tutorial
to the CLC Web server on or before the due date. It is also not enough to
upload your tutorial and send a “Tutorial 2 Completed” e-mail to your
instructor on or before the due date. You also need to follow up before the
due date to verify that your tutorial has been graded.
3. The assignment policy in this class is something new to most students.
Many students like to send assignments in for grading on the due date, but
that isn't how this course is structured. Because late work is not accepted
in this class it is in the best interest of the student to submit their tutorials
at least a couple of days before the actual due date. This way if a tutorial is
incomplete or is unable to be graded for some reason, the student still has
time to correct the problem and re-submit it again for grading before the
due date. In this class, if a student submits an tutorial for grading on the
date and it is incomplete or unable to be graded, there isn't enough time for
the student to re-submit it again before the due date. Submitting tutorials
for grading at least two days before the due date provides the student with
a safety buffer.
4. For additional information, please see the Tutorials - Late Policy section
of the syllabus. You can find the syllabus by clicking on the Syllabus
button in the CIT 171 Blackboard course main menu.
