Database Systems Design, Implementation, and Management. (11th Ed.) Cengage Learning. ISBN: 13-978-1-285-19614-5 Instructor Policies Late Assignments Technological issues are not considered valid grounds for late assignment submission. In the event of a server outage, students should submit assignments to the instructor directly through email and when systems are restored, submit those assignments according to syllabus instructions. Unless an Incomplete/In Progress grade has been granted, assignments submitted after the last day of class will not be accepted. Engagement and Discussion Requirements Class engagement and discussion are a part of your final grade. I will assess your level of engagement; however, engagement requires you to be actively engaged in the weekly classroom activities and discussion. The best contributions reflect excellent preparation, good listening, and interpretative and integrative skills. Group Work At times throughout your program you will be expected to work effectively in diverse groups of two to three students to achieve tasks. Group projects are outcome-based, which means that all members in the group will generally earn the same grade for group projects. However, I reserve the right to report different grades for group members if I see a substantial imbalance in individual contribution. I read all of the entries/discussions/interactions on your Group Homepage. If I do not see you active participating in your group, then that will adversely affect your personal grade. It is expected that you will actively participate with your group and contribute to the group discussions by:

• Contributing original work that is accepted and used by the group with proof of originality.

Course ID: Course Name

Course ID Version1ON September 2017

Page 4

• Participating in the project from assignment organization to a meaningful final review of the team project before submission.

• Ensuring that your contributions are your original work and properly quoted, cited, and referenced. • If groups are a component of the course they will be assigned by the end of the Week One. Your

instructor will make an announcement to the class concerning group assignments and you will also be

• able to view the groups by clicking on the “People” link located in the left-hand navigation of your Course

• Webpage. Feedback Each week, I will provide grades/scores and comments on assignments within 4 days of the last day of the week unless I notify you otherwise. Syllabus/Schedule This syllabus does not constitute a contract between the instructor and the students in the course. While every effort will be made to present the material as described the instructor retains the right to alter the syllabus for any reason at any time. When such changes are made every effort will be made to provide students with both adequate notification of the changes and to provide them with sufficient time to meet any changes in the course requirements. The weekly schedule for this course may be viewed online.

In keeping with the institution’s commitment to respect and affirm cultural, religious, and spiritual diversity, the University supports the rights of students, staff, and faculty to observe religious/cultural/spiritual obligations that conflict with the University’s schedule. Faculty instructors and staff/administrative supervisory personnel are expected to make reasonable accommodations when a student or an employee is absent from class or work because of religious/cultural/spiritual observance. Attendance If you miss more than the allowed absences in a course in consecutive or non-consecutive weeks, you may be withdrawn from the course and not eligible to earn a grade. Sending assignments to me by email, fax, mail or other means does not make up for missed attendance and I cannot excuse absences. Length of Course Absences Allowed Absences Resulting in Drop 1-4 weeks 0 1 5-9 weeks 1 2 10+ weeks 2 3 Note: Academically related activities are used to calculate a student’s official last date of attendance with the institution.
