Extra Syllabus Info:
Below is posted the syllabus information you received in most of your other classes. Be sure to read it carefully:
Incompletes: Many students become overwhelmed with their classes and request an incomplete. Please keep in mind that the policy for incompletes is the same online as on campus. You must have completed all assignments up to the point of your request, and you must have extenuating circumstances for the request. "I'm overwhelmed" or "the course is not what I expected" are not valid reasons. In addition, you will not receive an incomplete if you stop attending the course and later come back to request an incomplete. Also, a student must have completed two thirds of the work for the semester in order to request an incomplete.
Plagiarism: Plagiarism is not tolerated in this course. If you plagiarize, you will fail the course, and you will incur further penalties according to the college guidelines. All acts will be reported to LCSC administration. Plagiarism means copying another's words and presenting them as your own. All work submitted must represent your own ideas, concepts, understanding, and, of course, words. This includes copying and pasting information from websites. Never do it.
Technical Support: While I do understand Blackboard relatively well, I am not an expert with computers and other technical issues. That's why I will usually refer you to Blackboard support if you are having problems with the technical side of this class. For your reference, the phone number for the Ed Tech Center is 792-2228, and the number for Blackboard help is 792-2452.
If You Need to Drop This Class...Please check your LC calendar for the last date to drop and the last date to withdraw from courses. After the last date to withdraw from courses, withdrawal is permitted by petition only. The Division Chair requires documentation of extraordinary circumstances that prevented you from withdrawing by the deadline. It is my experience that petitions are rarely approved, so I encourage you to plan accordingly.
Consumer Information: In 2008, the federal government required all post-secondary institutions offering federal financial aid programs to provide key data to both prospective and current students. To comply with this requirement, Lewis-Clark State College has developed a consumer information page, which may be accessed at http://www.lcsc.edu/studentconsumerinformation/
Disability Accommodations: Students requiring special accommodations or course adaptations due to a disability and/or a health-related issue should consult their course instructors and the LCSC Student Counseling Center immediately (RCH 111, 792-2211). Official documentation may be required in order to provide an accommodation and/or adaptation.
Student Rights and Responsibilities: Students have the responsibility for knowing their program requirements, course requirements, and other information associated with their enrollment at LCSC. Students should review the LCSC General Catalog (http://www.lcsc.edu/catalog/) and the LCSC Student Handbook (available at http://www.lcsc.edu/studentservices/contactus.htm) for more information.
Accidents/Student Insurance: Students participating in LCSC classes normally must look to their personal health insurance policy (Student Health Insurance Plan or comparable private coverage) should an accident occur. In the event of an accident, please seek medical help, if necessary, and report the incident to LCSC Security (792-2226). Fieldtrips or other special student activities may also require students to submit a signed participation waiver (forms can be obtained from the supporting Division Office).
Enrollment Verification/Attendance: Students who are not actively pursuing their classes may have to repay part or all of their financial aid awards depending upon the circumstances.
Academic Dishonesty: Academic dishonesty, which includes cheating and plagiarism, is not tolerated at LCSC. Individual faculty members will impose their own policies and sanctions regarding academic dishonesty. Students who are accused of being academically dishonest may be referred to the Dean of Student Services for official disciplinary action.
Illegal File Sharing: Students using LCSC’s computers and/or computer network must comply with the college’s appropriate use policies and are prohibited from illegally downloading or sharing data files of any kind. Specific information about the college’s technology policies and its protocols for combating illegal file sharing may be found on the Dean of Student Services’ web page (http://www.lcsc.edu/studentservices/).
Diversity Vision Statement: Regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status, or sexual orientation, you will be treated and respected as a human being. http://www.lcsc.edu/culturaldiversity/
