If you wish to not have your paper stored in TurnItIn, you must notify your instructor within the first two weeks of the course.

You will need to create a TurnItIn student account if you do not already have one. You can find detailed instructions on setting up your TurnItIn account in the TurnItIn Instructions document, found in Content > Week 1 > Course Introduction.

TurnItIn Originality reports will be reviewed for passages that match to sources but do not have a citation.

Your instructor will provide additional information as to which assignments for this course must be submitted to TurnItIn.

Originality Statement All materials submitted must be original materials developed solely for use in this class and must conform to UMUC’s academic policies. Submission of reused materials may result in a reduced grade or non-acceptance of the assignment at the faculty member’s discretion.

Attendance and Participation Although attendance does not contribute to your grade, participation does. By registering for an online or hybrid course, you have made a commitment to participate in class discussions and activities as well as other online activities. Please plan to participate regularly. You will note in the grading policy that your participation counts towards your final grade. Expectations and grading criteria for participation are fully described under Project Descriptions below.

All students will be held to the highest standards for language and content in e-mails and conference interaction (including attachments). Abusive and derogatory language and unacceptable content will not be tolerated. Any student engaging in this type of behavior will be reported to the UMUC provost. Please read the UMUC Policy on the Code of Student Conduct, which is located under the Syllabus and Academic Policies link. All interaction must be relevant to the topic being discussed and show a reasoned approach to the discussion. If possible, include information from the text and other sources to make your point.

Refer to the Project Descriptions section of this syllabus for more information on how discussions will be assessed.

Late Assignments The assignments, participation (discussion topics, LabSims, and Web activities), and examinations should be submitted on time. You will have a long lead time in which to prepare, ask questions, and seek help. Therefore, unless a major accident, illness, or work assignment (with supporting documentation) prevents you from submitting work on time, late assignments will not be accepted. Should faculty grant an exception, a late penalty might be applied.

Extra Credit Extra credit is not available.

Grading Information

This course consists of the following graded items:

Conferences/Class Participation	10%
Quizzes	25%
Labs	20%
Project Proposal	20%
Final Exam	25%
Total	100%

Discussion Participation For this class, you are expected to participate in all discussions. To earn full credit for participation, you must:

· Respond to the week's discussion topic by midnight, Eastern time, on Friday of each week, AND

· Respond to at least two postings from other students to the current week's discussion topic by the end of the class week (midnight, Eastern time, Sunday).

Initial responses should demonstrate critical thinking and comprehension of the conference topic, and should be supported by additional research to include the use of outside references. Responses to classmates' postings should be constructive, expand upon points made, ask additional questions, and contribute to the dialogue. A simple "good posting" or "I agree" is not a sufficient comment.

This format is to ensure that all students benefit from seeing and responding to each other’s responses. Participation is defined by the quality as well as the quantity of your postings in the conference. You will not gain any points by merely reading the conference postings. From time to time, there will be more than one conference assigned for the week. You may expect the instructor to participate in the conferences, but do not expect a response to every posting. If the instructor or another student poses a question to you, you are expected to respond to it, as you would during a face-to-face classroom discussion. Each student is responsible for reviewing and adhering to the UMUC academic policies that appear in the Additional Information section of this syllabus.

Faculty will assess your participation using the following criteria:
