Course Requirements
Students should have regular access to a computer that is connected to the Internet. It is strongly recommended that students have a broadband (high-speed) internet connection such as DSL or a cable modem. When taking online quizzes and exams (or viewing online video), students should have an internet connection that is stable and will not drop their connection. Students without a stable high-speed internet connection should consider making arrangements to take online quizzes and exams at one of the St. Petersburg College libraries (or a similar facility) where a stable high-speed internet connection is available. Internet Explorer is the preferred browser to use to access course materials. Emergency Preparedness In the event that a hurricane or other disaster causes closure of St. Petersburg College facilities, you may be provided the opportunity to complete your course work online. Following the event, please visit the college web site for an announcement of the College’s plan to resume operations.
Grading Policy
Students must submit all of the assignments for each week by the deadline or they will not receive full credit for the week. I accept assignment up to one week late for 50% credit maximum.Please note that computer problems, sickness, travel, and lack of planning do not constitute an excuse for not making a deadline. This may mean you will have to use computers on campus or somewhere other than your home, or submit the assignments to the instructor's college e-mail account if D2L is down, should the need arise. This class is not graded on a curve and there is NO EXTRA CREDIT. Incomplete grades fall under the Incomplete Grades and Procedures of the college. A few of the minimum requirements include: An Incomplete “I” grade will be assigned only in the event of a verified serious illness or family emergency (death). Per SPC policy, for an incomplete grade to be assigned, the student must have a minimum of 80% of the course completed, as anything less than 80% will result in the appropriate letter grade being recorded. In the event of an “I”, the instructor will provide the terms for all required work to be completed; no later than the end of the sixth week of the next semester. After that time, a grade of “F” (or higher if the work that has been submitted is adequate to justify the higher grade) will be assigned.
Grading Criteria
There are a few methods used to measure your learning in this class. These methods are 1) cases, 2) discussions, and 3) projects. All of these are based on the text book. See the course shell for details on all of them.
6Cases (20 points each) = 120
7Discussion Posts = 40
6 Projects(10 points each) = 60
TOTAL = 180PTS
A = 162-180
B = 144-162
C = 126-144
D =108-126
F = <126
Attendance Policy
In this class, if a student misses a week of work, it is assumed the student is not participating. This policy will be used to determine grades. Students who are not actively participating in class as defined in an instructor’s syllabus will be reported to the Administration during the week following the voluntary withdrawal date. Instructors will verify that students are in attendance during the first two weeks of class. Students classified as “No Show” for both of the first two weeks will be administratively withdrawn for any class which they are not in attendance. Attendance will be based on completion of the Discussion assignment each week. Their financial aid will be adjusted based on the updated enrollment status. Immediately following the 60% point of the term, each instructor will verify which students are actively participating in class as defined in the course syllabus. Students classified as not meeting the criteria for active class participation will be administratively withdrawn with a “WF.” Students will be able to withdraw themselves at any time during the term. However, requests submitted after the 60% deadline will result in a “WF.” Students and instructors will automatically receive an email notification through their SPC email address whenever a withdrawal occurs. Withdrawing after the “Last Day to Withdraw with a Grade of ‘W’” (see Academic Calendar below) can have serious consequences. If the student withdraws from a class after the deadline posted in the academic calendar, the student will receive a final grade of ‘WF,’ which has the same impact on the student’s GPA as a final grade of ‘F.’ A ‘WF’ grade also could impact the student’s financial aid and cause the student to repay some of their financial assistance. If the student is thinking about withdrawing from a class now, the student should consult with an academic advisor or financial assistance counselor first to be sure they understand all the possible outcomes of this decision.
Academic Integrity
Academic honesty and plagiarism will not be tolerated. Note that any form of copying or repeating input from other sources without proper APA citations is a transgression and will result in an F for the assignment. A second infraction will result in an F for the course.
St. Petersburg College has an Academic Honesty policy. It is your responsibility to be familiar with the policies, rules, and the consequences of violations. There is no tolerance for cheating and academic dishonesty. Discipline can range from a zero on a specific assignment to expulsion from the class with a grade of F. Note that copy/pasting published information, whether it's from your textbook or the Internet, without citing your source is plagiarism and violates this policy. Even if you change the words slightly the ideas are someone else's so you still have to cite your sources. Cheating, plagiarism, bribery, misrepresentation, conspiracy, and fabrication are defined in Board Rule 6Hx23-4.461. Student Affairs: Academic Honesty Guidelines, Classroom Behavior.
