"The only issue I really had was that sometimes I didn't know something was due because it wouldn't show under the calendar tab but I would get an email like an hour before something was due." - Fall 22 (Instructor's note: Weekly announcements identify assignments due that week. Also, due dates are in the syllabus, with the instructions for each discussion board forum, in the Calendar tool, and in the gradebook. I do not send any email reminders, so this must be something Blackboard does automatically.)
