What I Expect from Students:
Just as in a regular face-to-face class, I expect
that you will adhere to standards of courtesy, professionalism, and
academic honesty.
Courtesy:
I expect that everyone will participate in the
class with courtesy and consideration for each other and for the
instructor. Your e-mails and web postings should be on the topic at
hand, should be appropriate and should reflect a professional
demeanor. Inappropriate behavior
includes but is not limited to the following: disruptive behavior,
profanity or vulgarity, harassment of other students, obstruction of
the learning environment, plagiarism or dishonesty. Students may
not knowingly access, alter, damage, delete, destroy or otherwise
use any data, computer, computer system or computer network in order
to harass, disrupt, destroy, or disturb the class online learning
environment.

Academic Honesty:
It is a violation of
college policy to plagiarize, to recycle work, or to cheat or
attempt to cheat on exams, homework or any type of assignment.
You must not:
-
take others’ thoughts or words
without appropriate acknowledgment;
-
submit work that has been written
or revised in part or in whole by another person;
-
submit work that you have
submitted for another class, or
-
cheat or attempt to cheat on a
quiz, exam or assignment.
-
"It is essential that every student understand the standards
of academic honesty and how to avoid dishonesty by proper
acknowledgment of intellectual indebtedness". Drawing on the
ideas of others as you develop your own is an essential and
exciting component of intellectual work. Whenever you use other
writers’ ideas, however, you must acknowledge your sources.
Doing so allows you to distinguish between your ideas and those
of others; it directs your readers to relevant sources; and it
allows you to give credit where credit is due."
Penalties for Academic Dishonesty:
-
Any assignment which shows
significant evidence of plagiarism will receive no credit.
-
Work which has been copied from
another student will result in both students receiving no credit
for that assignment.
-
Repeated instances of academic
dishonesty will result in a failing grade for the class and will
be reported to the college for appropriate disciplinary action.
-
Submitting work that has been
completed for another class is considered academic dishonesty.
