Fall 2019 Course Syllabi

Classroom Policies: Classroom weeks will run from Monday at 12:00 a.m. to Sunday at 11:59 p.m. Discussion posts are due by Thursday at 11:59 p.m. Responses to other student posts should be completed by Saturday at 11:59 p.m. Late discussion posts will incur a 10% point deduction each day an assignment is late. Any assignment submitted three days after it is due will result in a zero. Students are expected to participate and complete activities for each weekly module. If student is aware of a conflict ahead of time, they are welcome to submit assignments early or notify the me (instructor) at least one day (24 hours) before the assignment due date. Failure to contact me prior to the 24 hour requirement will result in an zero. Examinations, quizzes, and the final project are due by Sunday at 11:59 p.m. If student is aware of a conflict ahead of time, they are welcome to submit examinations and quizzes early or notify the me (instructor) at least one day (24 hours) before the assignment due date. Failure to contact me prior to the 24 hour requirement will result in an zero. I also understand emergencies can happen. If you have an emergency which doesn’t allow for completion of the test, I expect you to contact me at your earliest convenience. If an approved emergency, I will consider allow the student to take the test with a 5% point reduction. Academic Integrity: The academic community is operated on the basis of honesty, integrity, and fair play. Occasionally, this trust is violated when cheating occurs, either inadvertently or deliberately. This code will serve as the guideline for cases where cheating, plagiarism, or other academic improprieties have occurred. The primary responsibility of the students, faculty, and administration is to create an atmosphere where the honesty of individuals will not be questioned. Faculty members are responsible for providing guidelines concerning cheating and plagiarism at the beginning of each course, and should use precautionary measures and security in cases where cheating is likely to occur. My policy is that instances of academic dishonesty will result in 0% for the first offense of a compromised assignment or test in question. A second infraction will result in an overall failing grade.
