Course Activities

To insure success in this course students should pro-actively . . .

Ø  Establish an OSU D2L account and access the online course announcements, weekly activities, course documents, resources, lab assignments, and course projects.

Ø Participate in class lectures with individual feedback and group discussions.

Ø Participate in class labs and submit lab reports for evaluation.

Ø Complete outside project assignments and submit technical reports for evaluation.

Ø Integrate internet-searches into research assignments, homework, and reports.

Ø Participate in individual and group presentations.


Grades will be based on the quality and completion of these tasKS:

Labs – 30%

Exams – 30%

Final Exam – 20%

Quizzes, Assignments – 20 %

LATE WORK

All evaluated work will have a due date.

All evaluated work will be emailed to the instructor with a read receipt request unless instructed otherwise.

Evaluated work is late if not turned in by the due date or by a date agreed by the instructor for special circumstances.

All evaluated work will be accepted for full grading up to the unit test for the material of the assignment.

No work is accepted after its unit test date unless requested by the instructor.

TESTING

All exams (including Final) will be given open and closed book.

UNIT EXAMS AND FINAL EXAM CANNOT BE MADE UP WITHOUT PRE-APPROVAL. If you know in advance that you will miss an exam, special arrangements may be possible for hardship circumstances. Make-up exams may be a different exam than the one given on exam day.


D2L ENROLLMENT and utilization

Students are already auto-enrolled in the ETDE 2253 online course support. The student should fill out your “profile” on the home page of the course. Be sure to add your mobile number, this is useful for you to contact classmates. If class has to be cancelled at the last minute, I can contact you by phone.

When utilizing D2L, consider the computer requirements and the internet connection speed. Most any university computer connected to the on-campus high-speed network will operate efficiently. Access to a printer is required to make hardcopies of most assignments

E-mail communication standards

Students are to use e-mail to communicate personal issues with their instructor. E-mail corruption is a significant problem and unidentified e-mails are simply purged. Therefore a strict standard is necessary to identify a legitimate student communication. The “message line” of student e-mails must contain in order – Subject, Name, Course, Trimester. Example: Assignment due date, John Smith, ETDE 1243, Fall 13.

Instructor’s Policy on Absences

If you have a medical or personal problem that necessitates missing class, please contact me. Missing a few classes should not be devastating to your grade, but many absences or missing major assignments and activities will heavily impact your success in this course.

OSU IT Attendance Policy for Face to Face courses:

A primary component of OSUIT's Mission is “to prepare and sustain a diverse student body as competitive members of a world-class workforce”. Regular and consistent attendance not only aids in academic success, dependable attendance is a requirement in today's real-world employment; therefore, regular and consistent attendance is a requirement in all OSUIT courses.

Definitions:

Absent: Failing to attend all or a significant portion of a class or lab session.

A.  Students may not be marked as absent if missing class for situations such as, but not limited to

1.  participating in a required university activity such as a field trip;

2.  fulfilling a military obligation;

3.  a mandatory court appearance;

4.  death in the immediate family;

5.  extreme illness or accident to oneself or immediate family. Instructors, at their discretion, may require proof of such events.

B. It is the responsibility of the student to contact and inform the instructor and/or department in advance of such excused absences whenever possible.

Tardy: Arriving late to class as defined by the individual class instructor. Faculty, at their discretion, may equate three tardies to equal one absence.

Procedures:

Early Intervention

A.  Any student who misses 10% of an individual course (or earlier at faculty discretion) during a regular fifteen-week semester, or the equivalent portion of time in a shorter session, will have their name submitted by that course instructor to the OSUIT Early Alert System for retention intervention.

B.  At the point the Early Alert is issued, the student must meet with their assigned faculty advisor or designated faculty/staff member within seven (7) academic calendar days for counseling on how to improve their attendance and academic success.

Excessive Absences

A.  The University reserves the right to administratively withdraw any student from an individual course who misses 20% of that course, whether excused or unexcused, and, in the opinion of the instructor, the student does not have a reasonable opportunity to be successful in the course.

B.  Students should be aware any of the following may impact their financial aid:

1. being administratively withdrawn from a course

2. dropping a course

3. their last date of attendance in a course

Please see OSUIT Policy 2-021 for full details and procedures.

Other Lab and Classroom Policies

Students are expected to maintain a clean and organized lab work place. After completion of a lab or at the end of the class period, components must be returned to the appropriate storage location they were obtained from. Lab equipment and any items used to complete a lab must also be returned to the appropriate storage location. All other equipment must be turned-off.

Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)

According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, each student with a disability is responsible for notifying the University of his/her disability and requesting accommodations. If you think you have a qualified disability and need special accommodations, you should notify the instructor and request verification of eligibility for accommodations from the Office of Academic Accommodations/LASSO Center. Please advise the instructor of your disability as soon as possible, and contact The LASSO Center, to ensure timely implementation of appropriate accommodations. Faculty have an obligation to respond when they receive official notice of a disability but are under no obligation to provide retroactive accommodations. To receive services, you must submit appropriate documentation and complete an intake process during which the existence of a qualified disability is verified and reasonable accommodations are identified. The LASSO Center is located on the 3rd floor of the Noble Center. You may call 918.293.4855 for more information or fax documentation to 918.293.4853.

Academic Dishonesty

Academic dishonesty or misconduct is neither condoned nor tolerated at OSU-Okmulgee. Any student found guilty of academic dishonesty or misconduct shall be subject to disciplinary action. Academic dishonesty and/or misconduct includes, but is not limited to, the following actions: (1) Plagiarism: the representation of previously written, published, or creative work as one’s own; (2) Unauthorized collaboration on projects; (3) Cheating on examinations; (4) Unauthorized advance access to exams; (5) Fraudulent alteration of academic materials; (6) Knowing cooperation with another person in an academically dishonest undertaking. Students are required to actively protect their work against misuse by others. For details, refer to The OSU-Okmulgee Student Handbook available in the Office of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, each division office, and online at http://www.osu-okmulgee.edu/handbook/.
