- Due Dates and Pacing:
Unfortunately, due dates in Brainhoney are going to continue coming up through Thanksgiving and Christmas Breaks - the technology doesn't allow us to "black out" those dates. So even if you're on pace in your classes right now, if you take those breaks (as you deserve to!) you'll come back some number of assignments behind.
Check your pace chart in your courses to determine where you should be in course to avoid work during these holiday breaks.
