CLASS POLICIES
Absence and Tardy Policies
· Attendance in class is important and it is university policy that students must attend class and that faculty will require attendance with penalties for non-compliance. To be eligible to receive credit in a course, the student must attend at least 75% of all class meetings. (excused absences also count toward this number)
· Absences are recorded from the first day of class. Please see the catalog currently in use for the university’s policy on classroom absences caused in the course of student representation of the university, such as athletics, chorale, and mock trial activities (pg. 30-31).
· FACT: There is a high correlation between attendance and overall performance; e.g., high grades.
Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is expected of all students. Academic integrity means that all work being submitted for a student’s grade is that student’s own work and not the work of others. This includes answers to test items, written assignments, oral presentations, etc. Academic dishonesty such as cheating on exams, written work, oral presentations, homework, and other assignments are violations will not be tolerated.
Plagiarism is defined as “the unauthorized use of language, ideas, and thoughts of another author and representation of them as one’s own original work” (Random House Webster’s College Dictionary, 1990, p. 1032). For the Department of Kinesiology, plagiarism can be indicated by failure to follow the rules of format as stated in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5th edition (2001). According to the APA manual, an author does not present the work of someone else as original work: each time another’s words or ideas are used, credit must be given in the text.
Academic dishonesty and plagiarism of any course tests, assignments, clinical experiences, etc. will constitute an automatic grade of “0” or “F” on any assignment or failure in the course depending on the seriousness of the violation as viewed by the faculty. Students may also be dismissed from ETBU for academic dishonesty and plagiarism. For more information, please refer to the current ETBU Catalog: Academic Policies (pg. 28).
Children in Classroom
In almost all instances, children are not allowed in the classroom nor are they allowed to be on campus unattended. Class sessions are for enrolled students only unless other arrangements are approved by the instructor in advance.
Classroom Behavior Expectations
The classroom environment is to be conducive to learning and is under the authority of the instructor. In order to assure that all students have the opportunity to gain from the time spent in class, students are expected to demonstrate civil behavior in the classroom and show appropriate respect for the instructor and other students. Inappropriate behavior toward the instructor, in or out of the classroom, may result in a directive to the offending student to leave the classroom or the course entirely.
Classroom behaviors that disturb the teaching-learning experiences include the following behaviors: activated cellular phone or other device, demands for special treatment, frequent episodes of leaving and then returning to the class, excessive tardiness, leaving class early, making offensive remarks or disrespectful comments or gestures to the instructor or other students, missing deadlines, prolonged chattering, sleeping, arriving late to class, dominating discussions, shuffling backpacks or notebooks, disruption of group work, and overt inattentiveness. It is at the discretion of the instructor as to whether laptops will be allowed for use in the classroom.
Cell phones are to be turned off and put away. Do not place them on your desktop or use them during class.
Early Alert
As an instructor, I am committed to your success, not only in this class, but in all
aspects of ETBU life. To ensure that every student takes full advantage of the educational and learning opportunities. ETBU provides tutoring services through the Success Center. If I think you would benefit from some of these special programs or services available to you, I will make the appropriate referral. You, in turn, will be expected to take advantage of the help offered to you.
Email Policy
All university and class email communication will be sent to your ETBU email account. You are responsible for checking this frequently. If you choose, you may reroute your ETBU email to another email address. Your emails should be in a professional format with correct spelling, capitalization, and grammar.
Grade Appeal
The Grade Appeals Process may be found in the catalog currently in use, in the Academic Policies section (pg. 33).
Incomplete Grades/Work
An instructor may grant incompletes and only to students who have a major documented emergency in the last few days of a semester. More information may be found on page 34 of the current ETBU catalog.
Late Work
Late work will not be accepted.
