automatically be deducted. Even if the work is going to be late, I encourage you
to complete the assignment to ensure you understand the material in the next
assignments. If you are attempting to submit a late assignment, email me. After 7
days, you will receive a 0 on the assignment. I will not accept the final project
after the due date.
Academic Honesty:
"As a core part of its mission, the University of Arkansas provides students with
the opportunity to further their educational goals through programs of study and
research in an environment that promotes freedom of inquiry and academic
responsibility. Accomplishing this mission is only possible when intellectual
honesty and individual integrity prevail. Each University of Arkansas student is
required to be familiar with and abide by the Universitys Academic Integrity
Policy' at honesty.uark.edu. Students with questions about how these policies
apply to a particular course or assignment should immediately contact their
instructor."
All work must be created by you and demonstrate your learning and
understanding. It is never acceptable to take something from the internet or
elsewhere and claim it as your own. If you use any information or quotes from
others, make sure to change it significantly, cite it and give credit to the creator.
In this course, we will be using various sources of information, so this is critical to
remember. If you have questions or concerns about this policy, please contact
me.
Academic Appeals:
Students are first encouraged to resolve academic conflicts and complaints
informally through their department or through the assistance of the Office of the
Vice Provost and Dean of Students, which can provide objective and confidential
mediation. If an informal resolution cannot be reached there are two kinds of
procedures for undergraduate students to pursue with complaints of an academic
nature. Refer to the Student Handbook for appeals structures for other
grievances. Here is further information on the Academic Appeals.
You are also welcome to contact me if you need basic assistance with Blackboard,
but my assistance in this area will be limited. There are many tutorials and links
available to help you get started.
Netiquette:
Netiquette is online etiquette. It is important that all participants in online courses
be aware of proper online behavior and respect each other.
CAPS:
CAPS offers confidential counseling services by licensed psychologists, counselors,
and social workers.
In the case of inclement weather in your area keeping you from completing
learning activities or course work, you should contact me. If I am aware of any
reason due dates will be affected or any other aspect of the course will be
affected, I will contact you via email. Otherwise, you can assume there will be no
changes to our course.
