COURSE REQUIREMENTS

Participation and Online Attendance

Students must be an active online participant. Be prepared to spend some time between class meetings on Homework

Assignments (Online), such as class discussions, completing assigned activities, submitting assignments, completing

quizzes, participating in virtual classroom/chat activities via Blackboard, etc.

Students are expected to be highly self-motivated. Enrollment in this course encourages the student to access the

technology we will be discussing in class.

Regular and routine participation is required for the course. This includes regularly logging in, turning in

homework by required dates/times, participating in discussion forums, and staying in constant contact with the

instructor. Seven (7) consecutive days of non- participation will result in your access being disabled without

warning. Participation, or lack thereof, may also affect your financial aid.

Blackboard automatically tracks and records every click once you log into a Bb course. I can see if and when you

logged on, the date and time of day you logged on, and what you accessed once you logged in to the course. This

is one way I can determine whether or not you participated in the assignment.

Assignment Information The instructor reserves the right to modify the syllabus and/or assignment schedule, based on numerous

variables. Modifications may be made in order to meet the instructional goals and needs of the class. Students will be

informed of changes as soon as possible. Applicable assessment rubrics will be posted along with the assignments. Due

dates will be posted to the assignment.

Do NOT email assignments.

All assignments will be submitted electronically within Blackboard via the appropriate

Assignment link or via the discussion board, unless instructed otherwise. The assignment link can be used only

once, so make sure you submit the document you want graded.

I do not preview completed assignments prior to the due date, so please do not email your assignment to me to

“look over it” before you submit it. It must be submitted via the appropriate Assignment link and it will be graded

after the due date.

Start working on your assignments as early as possible. Remember, I will respond to emails within 24 hours. If

you email a question to me during the 24 hours prior to the due date, you run the risk of not receiving my response

before the due date. Moral of the story? Plan ahead!!!

Blackboard automatically tracks and records every click, including your name. I can see if and when you logged

on, the date and time of day you logged on, and even what you accessed once

you logged on. This is one way I use to determine whether you are accessing the assignment materials.

Work Ahead Policy: Weekly folders are revealed one week at a time. During the preview week, Week #1 will be

made available. Subsequent weeks will be made available one week ahead of schedule. If you have something

planned-work ahead to allow yourself a one-week cushion during the course.

Late Assignments

Typically, late work is not accepted. However, extenuating circumstances will be handled on an individual basis

and at the discretion of the instructor. If I agree to accept an assignment after the due date, regardless of the

reason, it will not receive full credit. (Late work submitted within the first 24 hours after the due date will

receive one-half credit. Late work submitted after that will receive no credit).

Excuses such as “I had to work,” “The system was down,” “My computer crashed,” “I lost my flash drive with my work on

it, “I couldn’t get to a computer,” “I forgot about the assignment,” “I didn’t see the reminder announcement,” “I

overlooked the assignment folder,” “I didn’t realize I submitted the wrong document,” “I didn’t realize I submitted a blank

document,” “I couldn’t find the assignment in Bb,” etc., etc., etc., are not considered extenuating circumstances.

Keep back-up copies of your assignments and have a back-up plan with at least one alternate location to

complete the assignment or take a quiz or exam.

Do not wait until the last minute to complete assignments or take the quizzes.

Extra Assignments to Bring Up a Grade

No extra assignments will be given to “bring up your grade.” Work diligently from the beginning and regard every

assignment as if each one is worth extra points that will raise your grade.

Class Discussions via Bb Discussion Board

The discussion board is where the instructor and you make the class come alive, so participate early and often.

Review the Communication and Discussion Board Netiquette Rules posted on the Online

Learning website.

Class discussions will be relating to current educational issues and they will be available until the posted due date.

When more than one posting per topic is required, your second comment will be posted on a different day

than your first posting. For example, your initial posting will be due by 4:00

p.m., Monday. Your second posting (response to a classmate’s posting) will be due by 4:00 p.m., Thursday.

Comments must be meaningful. Citing personal examples relating to the topic is one way to add substance to

your comments.

Your participation will be assessed using the rubric below. Be sure to read it carefully!

IV. Academic Misconduct: The rights and responsibilities that accompany academic freedom are at the heart of the intellectual integrity of the University.

Cheating and other forms of academic misconduct undermine the value of an education for everyone, and especially for the person who cheats. Violations of the Academic

Misconduct Policy can result in penalties ranging from grade reductions to suspension, dismissal, or expulsion from the University. a. Student Responsibility Misunderstanding of the appropriate academic conduct will not be accepted as an excuse for academic misconduct. If a student is in doubt about appropriate academic conduct in a particular situation, he or she should consult with the instructor in the course, the department chair, or the dean so as to avoid the serious charge of Academic misconduct. b. Definition and Criteria: Academic misconduct is defined as any activity that tends to compromise the academic integrity of the institution or subvert the educational process. Examples of academic misconduct include, but are not limited to:

Conduct with respect to and during a quiz, examination, or similar evaluation:

1. Possessing, referring to, or employing open textbooks or notes or other devices not authorized by the instructor. 2. Looking at or using information from another person's paper. 3. Communicating with, providing assistance to, or receiving assistance from another person in a manner not authorized by the instructor. 4. Possessing, buying, selling, obtaining, or using a copy of any unauthorized materials intended to be used in or actually used in the preparation of a quiz or examination or similar evaluation. 5. Taking a quiz or examination or similar evaluation in the place of another person. 6. Utilizing another person to take a quiz, examination, or similar evaluation in place of oneself. 7. Violating procedures prescribed to protect the integrity of a quiz, examination, or similar evaluation. 8. Changing material on a graded examination and then requesting a re-grading of the examination.

Knowingly permitting one's work to be submitted by another person as if it were the submitter's original work. 4.

The faculty member may recommend penalties; including but not limited to withdrawal from the course, reduction or changing of a grade in the course, test, assignment, or in other academic work, performing additional academic work not required of other students in the course. Acceptance of the faculty member's recommended penalties by the student shall make the penalties final and constitute a waiver of further administrative procedures or appeals.

If the student does not accept the decision of the faculty member, the student may have the case reviewed by the academic department chair.

If the student does not accept the decision of the academic department chair, the student may have the matter referred to the Dean of the School.

If this decision of the Dean is not accepted, the student may have the matter referred to the Academic Appeals Committee. The Academic Appeals Committee serves as an appeals board for all requests from faculty or students who seek to have grades or records modified. The decision of the Academic Appeals Committee will be final as to factual determinations of the appeal.

VI. Appeal Rights of Students: Every student has the right when appealing a faculty decision involving academic dishonesty: 1.
