. • Once the semester commences, the course coordinator provides a steady stream of materials and information to instructors and students. These materials cover a wide range, including project assignment, submission deadlines, example problems, and innovative ways to present the material. • The coordinator posts course content information to online platforms (MS Teams and D2L) to ensure proposed materials are shared among the instructors for peer review and comment, confirming the product is ready for students well in advance. Assessment: Course coordinator is also responsible for course assessment including selection of assignments for assessment, and the development and implementation of

Cullen and Harris argue that “a syllabus is more than an outline of course.It represents the mindset, that is the professor’s philosophy of teaching and learning as well ashis or her attitudes toward students, and conceptualization of the course [8].” Cullen and Harrisfurther argue that a review of course syllabi can reveal much about an instructor’s learner-centered practices and have developed a rubric for assessing learner-center qualities of coursesyllabi.

Understanding the policies related to late submissions in your course and institution is essential. This policy can be in the course syllabus, online classroom, and the instructor's policies regarding late submissions. It is practical to clearly state that any late submission or missing deadline can cause instructors to deduct a certain percentage of the grade each day until zero. • Policy execution matters. Instructors must stay calm and assess the situation when late submission or missing deadline occurs. Working with international
