An absence may be identified as “a missed assignment,” “a missed assignment series,” or “inactivity in the course site as evidenced by Blackboard’s tracking statistics.” It is up to each instructor to decide which system to use. It is also the instructor’s responsibility to specify in the written syllabus what constitutes “a missed assignment,” “a missed assignment series,” or “inactivity in the course site as evidenced by Blackboard’s tracking statistics.” Contact your instructor if you have any questions.
