Academic Integrity
At a Christian liberal arts University committed to the pursuit of truth and understanding, any act of academic dishonesty is especially distressing and cannot be tolerated. In general, academic dishonesty involves the abuse and misuse of information or people to gain an undeserved academic advantage or evaluation. The common forms of academic dishonesty include:
a. cheating - using deception in the taking of tests or the preparation of written work, using unauthorized materials, copying another person’s work with or without consent, or assisting another in such activities
b. lying—falsifying, fabricating, or forging information in either written, spoken, or video presentations
c. plagiarism—using the published writings, data, interpretations, or ideas of another without proper documentation
Episodes of academic dishonesty are reported to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The potential penalty for academic dishonesty includes a failing grade on a particular assignment, a failing grade for the entire course, or charges against the student with the appropriate disciplinary body.
Students with Disabilities
University of the Cumberlands accepts students with certified disabilities and provides reasonable accommodations for their certified needs in the online classroom or in other areas. For accommodations to be awarded, a student must submit a completed Accommodations Application form and provide documentation of the disability. Students who may have a disability meriting an academic accommodation should contact the Disability Services Coordinator (Nate Clouse, in Boswell Campus Center) to ensure that their needs are properly evaluated and that documentation is on file. Any accommodations for disabilities must be re-certified each bi-term by the Disability Services Coordinator before course adjustments are made by individual instructors.
Student Responsibilities
1. Students are expected to login several times per week to participate in class discussions.
2. Students are expected to find out if any changes have been made in the class or assignment schedule.
3. Students are expected to be self-motivating in an online, asynchronous course.
4. Students are responsible for obtaining technological help with iLearn/Blackboard issues by contacting our help desk at [email protected], or visiting our iLearn portal at http://www.ucumberlands.edu/ilearn, or calling the desk at (877) 633-9146. The instructor cannot assess or solve technological issues.
**NOTE** Technological issues, complications, or problems are not viable excuses for failed scores or exam attempts, or late submissions of work. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain and successfully use the necessary technology (e.g., internet connectivity during timed exams) to complete this course. Homework Assignments and Exams may not be re-administered due to technological problems.
