Course Description

This online course introduces the design-build project delivery method and its increased adoption and implementation in the capital project industry. The course examines the principles, features and advantages of design-build in comparison with conventional project delivery methods, and provides insights into design-build procurement strategies and contracting methods. The focus is on the RFQ/RFP process, team-building, and key interfaces management. This is a 3-unit class, and you should expect to study an average of 6 to 8 hours each week. Nevertheless, in this fully online course, students are encouraged to pace for themselves, so some students may need more outside study time and some less.

Course Requirements/Assignments

Students will take quizzes throughout the semester based upon the content covered in each learning module. Additionally, there will be three (3) checkpoint tests (worth 100 points each) at the end of each learning module. All quizzes and exams will be administered online in Blackboard. Students are required to read announcements of any course related quizzes/exams in Blackboard to ensure a full understanding of the schedule, structure, deadlines and submission requirements. Make sure you address your questions to the instructor before it is too late.

Attendance and Course Participation

As an online course, there is no face-to-face attendance requirement. However, course participation is required and will be graded in the format of online discussion and scheduled Zoom live sessions led by the instructor. Students should participate in course discussion and complete discussion activities as specified. Specifically, it is mandatory that all students have to participate in the discussion for every learning module by creating one (1) individual discussion thread, and respond to at least two (2) of peer classmates’ threads. Zoom live session schedules are provided in the tentative course schedule, and students are expected to attend on time.

Instruction for Significant Assignments

In addition to quizzes and exams, students are expected to conduct three (3) guided case studies and one (1) research paper which serves the purpose of summative assessment. The goal is to evaluate their knowledge of the course contents and the skills to apply such knowledge. Before each case study, the instructor will hold a Zoom meeting session to debrief the students about the criteria and process to conduct the case study. The research paper will be a co-authoring paper of two students, which demands virtual collaboration among students using Google Apps (i.e. Google Docs) and other online learning tools. Detailed instructions of the research paper will be provided in Blackboard. The instructor will hold a kick-off Zoom meeting for the research paper and Q&As.

Grading Policy

Each student will be required to complete in quizzes, case studies, exams, and a synthesis course project. If you are absent from class, it is your responsibility to check on announcements made while you were away. Below is a summary of the grading for this course.

Course Policies & Safety Issues

Communication with Instructor via Email

All online communications should be established through the Blackboard system. This means that all emails to the instructor should be submitted via the email function on the Blackboard course. Please include the course number, the course time, and reason for correspondence in the subject heading of ALL email correspondence (e.g. CM XXX 11 AM syllabus question). Failure to do so may result in a delay in responding or not getting any response. Remember to include your full name (first and last) in the body of the email. I will not return email to anonymous senders. Use of a non-university email account may also result in either a delay or non-response. The University provides free email accounts to all students. Non-university email addresses are sometimes filtered as spam. I will get back to you within 24-72 hours (there may be exceptions on weekends and holidays).

Email Etiquette: to practice your formal communication skills, be sure to use the following guidelines for contacting your professors (not just me) via E-mail:

• Use the subject line to indicate which course or topic you are emailing about.

• Always include a salutation (greeting).

• Use proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. E-mail should not be treated like a text or a tweet. Proper sentence structure and formatting ensures that your message can be clearly understood by the reader.

• Make sure to sign your email or use a signature. It is important to include your name at the bottom of the message. Depending on your email address, your name might not be evident from your email unless you include it.

Individual and Group Work

Students are expected to complete the assignments individually and turn in their own work. For group projects, students shall collaborate with team members and contribute equally to the final deliverables of the projects. Students must keep a copy of their submitted materials (e.g. emails, discussion postings, assignments, etc.) as part of their coursework. Students are fully responsible for the timely re-submission of their work upon the instructor's request. Blackboard does not fully support use of special characters in file names. When naming files to be uploaded into Blackboard, please do not include any special characters such as #, %, & or spaces. Only use letters, numbers, and underscores. All files must have a correct extension (.docx, .rtf, .pptx. .pdf, etc.) in order for them to open in Blackboard.

Professionalism & Netiquette All students are expected to act professionally at all times. As an online course, students are also required to understand the uniqueness of online learning environment and follow the “Netiquette”, which refers to rules of etiquette that apply to online communication. Below is a list of best practices recommended for online courses:

• Do not dominate any discussion.

• Do not use offensive language.

• Never make fun of someone’s ability to read or write.

• Use simple English with correct spelling and grammar.

Dept. of Construction Management 2320 E. San Ramon Ave., MS/EE 94, Fresno, CA 93740-8030 http://www.fresnostate.edu/engineering/cm/

• Share tips with other students.

• Keep an “open-mind” and be willing to express even your minority opinion.

• Be aware of the University’s Academic Honesty Policy.

• Think before you push the “Send” button.

• Do not hesitate to ask for feedback.

When in doubt, always check with your instructor for clarification.

Late work and make-up work policy.

Late submission is only accepted before the cut-off date of assignments. There is no make-up allowed for quizzes/exams without authorized absences. However, students can make written requests to the instructor to take quizzes/exams ahead of time if legitimate excuses are provided and validated.

Adding and Dropping Classes

Students are responsible for understanding the policies and procedures about the adding/dropping of classes, academic renewals, etc. Students can find more information on adding and dropping at http://www.fresnostate.edu/studentaffairs/classschedule/registration/add-drop.html.

Safety Issues

Plagiarism Detection

The campus subscribes to Turnitin and the SafeAssign plagiarism prevention service through Blackboard, and you will need to submit written assignments to Turnitin/ SafeAssign. Student work will be used for plagiarism detection and for no other purpose. The student may indicate in writing to the instructor that he/she refuses to participate in the plagiarism detection process, in which case the instructor can use other electronic means to verify the originality of their work. Turnitin/SafeAssign Originality Reports WILL NOT be available for your viewing.

Page 7 of 9

a) understand or seek clarification about expectations for academic integrity in this course (including no cheating, plagiarism and inappropriate collaboration)

b) neither give nor receive unauthorized aid on examinations or other course work that is used by the instructor as the basis of grading.

c) take responsibility to monitor academic dishonesty in any form and to report it to the instructor or other appropriate official for action.

Cheating and Plagiarism

Cheating is the actual or attempted practice of fraudulent or deceptive acts for the purpose of improving one's grade or obtaining course credit; such acts also include assisting another student to do so. Typically, such acts occur in relation to examinations. However, it is the intent of this definition that the term 'cheating' not be limited to examination situations only, but that it includes any and all actions by a student that are intended to gain an unearned academic advantage by fraudulent or deceptive means. Plagiarism is a specific form of cheating which consists of the misuse of the published and/or unpublished works of others by misrepresenting the material (i.e., their intellectual property) so used as one's own work. Penalties for cheating and plagiarism range from a 0 or F on a particular assignment, through an F for the course, to expulsion from the university. For more information on the University's policy regarding cheating and plagiarism, refer to the Class Schedule (Legal Notices on Cheating and Plagiarism) or the University Catalog (Policies and Regulations).

Computers

"At California State University, Fresno, computers and communications links to remote resources are recognized as being integral to the education and research experience. Every student is required to have his/her own computer or have other personal access to a workstation (including a modem and a printer) with all the recommended software. The minimum and recommended standards for the workstations and software, which may vary by academic major, are updated periodically and are available from Information Technology Services (http://www.fresnostate.edu/technology) or the University Bookstore (http://www.kennelbookstore.com). In the curriculum and class assignments, students are presumed to have 24-hour access to a computer workstation and the necessary communication links to the University's information resources."

Disruptive Classroom Behavior

"The classroom is a special environment in which students and faculty come together to promote learning and growth. It is essential to this learning environment that respect for the rights of others seeking to learn, respect for the professionalism of the instructor, and the general goals of academic freedom are maintained. Differences of viewpoint or concerns should be expressed in terms which are supportive of the learning process, creating an environment in which students and faculty may learn to reason with clarity and compassion, to share of themselves without losing their identities, and to develop an understanding of the community in which they live. Student conduct which disrupts the learning process shall not be tolerated and may lead to disciplinary action and/or removal from class."
