other published policies, the Learner will be notified of the decision, along with any resulting outcomes up to, but not limited to being removed from platforms, repeating or reattempting academic work, temporary or permanent withdrawal from BloomTech, or other educational assignments. Participation and Attendance Attendance and participation in BloomTech courses is measured in multiple ways, including but not limited to taking attendance in live instruction experiences, verifying module and sprint project attempts, activity in the BloomTech learning management system, etc. Inactivity of more than seven days may trigger a withdrawal process to protect learners from unintentional further vesting of tuition beyond Sprint 2. Coursework and Projects BloomTech expects Learners to complete each and every assignment given as part of the course because the concepts learned in one assignment are a building block needed for future assignments. Even if a Learner knows a concept, repetition solidifies the foundation of their knowledge. We encourage Learners to reach for stretch goals and practice on their own. Coursework and relevant assignment and Sprint Challenge deadlines are housed in the Learning Management System. Learners are responsible for ensuring that their coursework is submitted in the appropriate manner and in line with the maximum time frame allotted for the program. Owning your Learning It is ultimately the Learner's responsibility to take an active role in their learning and understanding, alongside the structure and support provided by BloomTech. This might mean that to master material, Learners might put in additional study hours beyond what is listed as the “average” amount of time.. Or, that Learners might benefit from resources beyond BloomTech support channels, such as to learn another programming language or enhance their understanding of a concept and to prepare themselves. While we are here to provide support and assistance, Learners are ultimately responsible for their own learning and success. Asking for Help If a Learner feels lost or is stuck on an assignment, it’s their responsibility to reach out to the BloomTech community for help. Learners may not always be given the answer, but they will be provided with the tools to come up with the answer on their own. Learners should use the following steps in order when they need help on technical problems/challenges and coursework: 1. Use the 20 Minute Rule (work on the problem on your own for 20 minutes) 2. Post your question or issue in the appropriate Hub Discussion Forum Page 22 of 58 REV 10/31/2022 This catalog applies to all students other than those who reside in CA, CO, GA, TX, and DC who have their own catalogs.
