Preparation

All the required readings will available in your LEO classroom. Please begin each week by reading through the required materials and then participating in the Discussion Questions. You should strive to have your original responses posted by mid- week so that other students and your faculty can respond to your post. It is a good idea to print out your schedule during the first week of class so you can manage your time in order to submit your assignments in a timely manner.

Classroom Management

Your faculty will respond to any questions or concerns within 24-48 hrs. Be sure to check the discussions frequently, as you may need to respond to other students or your faculty. It is recommended that you check in several times a week, even for a short period of time, rather than trying to fit all your work into one block of time. Assignments are typically graded and returned within 48-72 hrs. You should check the rubrics available for each assignment to understand exactly how you will be graded. Faculty will return your scored rubric as well as any additional comments to your assignment folder. You will also receive weekly grades on your participation in the online classroom.

 Academic Policies ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

University of Maryland University College (UMUC) has adopted a Philosophy of Academic Integrity (https://www.umuc.edu/current- students/learning-resources/academic-integrity/philosophy.cfm)to guide the university’s commitment to a culture of academic integrity and authentic education encompassing a set of dispositions and behaviors that are socially beneficial, educationally critical, and professionally necessary.

All members of the University community must maintain the highest level of integrity across the academic experience. For students, intellectually honest academic work represents independent analysis, acknowledges all sources of information that contribute to the ideas being explored, and ensures the ability to engage in life and work authentically. Your instructor is your primary resource for how to uphold the highest ethical standards in the context of this course’s specific requirements.

Your instructor and other UMUC staff may use Turnitin or other technology resources to support the development and assessment of authentic student writing.
