wellness it also includes emotional and spiritual wellness.
Classroom Policies:
Reading the assigned text is the student’s responsibility, and is essential to success in this course. It should be noted though
that it is in your best academic interest to read material
before
the week of lecture/discussion as to aid in your understanding.
Any deadlines are final and your work is due on the day specified (11:59:59 PM). Any late work will not be accepted for full
credit.
Please refrain from doing anything that might be disruptive and disturb other students or the instructor, such as chronically
arriving late, leaving early, talking with neighbors, using a cell phone or texting. Turn all electronic junk off. This class does not
require the use of a laptop computer, therefore they are not allowed to be operated in lecture periods.
This academic environment is an open and harassment free one. Participation within the classroom is highly encouraged and is
an integral part of the higher education experience. Ask questions – comment on discussions.
Academic Integrity:
Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary
defines plagiarism as: “The appropriation or imitation of the language, ideas, and
thoughts of another author, and representation of them as one’s original work.” There will be
zero tolerance
of any form of
academic dishonesty. If any evidence appears of students not doing their own work, plagiarism, or outright cheating on
quizzes/exams, the matter will be investigated. If it is concluded that such dishonesty occurred, the student in question will
receive an automatic “F” for the course. Furthermore, the matter will be reported to the appropriate university office and the
instructor will participate in any proceedings against the guilty party.
Disabilities Special Needs:
Please inform the instructor within the first week of classes if any assistance is required due to disabilities or special needs.
