Assignments are intended to help you master the content, so you should attempt to complete them all. This course employs a variety of assignments, including:

  • Online Readings: provide an introduction to a unit, provide information, or be articles or papers that have been authored by experts in the field.

  • Readings from Books: need to have any required textbooks in advance of starting the course.

  • Exercises: consist of answering questions in a text lecture, writing a paper, or completing some other assignment. Exercises are usually performed offline. You should evaluate your results by comparing them to the results or criteria posted by the Instructor at the end of the lecture notes. Some instructions may include submitting these Exercises to the classroom for your faculty to evaluate.

  • Reviews: are used to help check your understanding of the content. Review results may be included in your final course grade.

  • Reflective Activities: such as writing up a case study, designing a project, or critiquing an assignment may be used as a method for you to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate course content.

  • Collaborative Projects: can involve teams of students working together to participate in study groups, write research papers, make presentations, create case studies, and take part in simulation activities. The projects allow interactions with fellow students and build on facilitation and planning skills.​

11- POLICY​

​

  • Grading Criteria/Timetable: All course activities will be graded within one week of their due date.

  • Extenuating Circumstances: If you have extenuating circumstances that prevent you from completing activities or participating in the class, please contact me to make alternative arrangements.  The possibility of alternative arrangements is at the discretion of the instructor.  Active communication is the key to overcoming any hurdles you may encounter during the term.

  • Students are expected to be the sole authors of their work. Use of another person's work or ideas must be accompanied by specific citations and references. Though not a comprehensive or exhaustive list, the following are some examples of dishonesty or unethical and unprofessional behavior:

  1. Plagiarism: Using another person's words, ideas, or results without giving proper credit to that person; giving the impression that it is the student's own work.

  2. Any form of cheating on examinations.

  3. Altering academic or clinical records.

  4. Falsifying information for any assignments.

  5. Submitting an assignment(s) that was partially or wholly completed by another student.

  6. Copying work or written text from a student, the Internet, or any document without giving due credit to the source of the information.

  7. Submitting an assignment(s) for more than one class without enhancing and refining the assignment, and without first receiving instructor permission. In cases where previous assignments are allowed to be submitted for another class, it is the responsibility of the student to enhance the assignment with additional research and to also submit the original assignment for comparison purposes.

  8. Assisting another student with reasonable knowledge that the other student intends to commit any act of academic dishonesty. This offense would include but would not be limited to providing an assignment to another student to submit as his/her own work or allowing another student to copy answers to any test, examination or assignment.

  • Academic dishonesty is a serious offense and may result in the following sanctions:

     1st offense: Failure of the assignment in which the action occurred.

     2nd offense: Failure of the class in which the action occurred.

     3rd offense: Expulsion or permanent dismissal from the University.
