Course Attendance and Participation Policy

Attendance/Withdrawal Policy:
During the first week of class, you must complete all the online orientation activities assigned, or you will be reported as a noshow and be administratively withdrawn from the course. Simply logging into the course will not satisfy your attendance
during this time. As with on-campus courses, students who are reported for non-attendance in an online course and are
withdrawn are still responsible for paying for the course. If you do not complete the requirements of the first week of
class, you should drop the course by the official drop/add deadline or expect to pay for the course.
It is very important for you to actively participate in this online class. If you stop participating in class discussions, do not
submit assignments, or fail to take quizzes or tests prior to the withdrawal date, you will be administratively withdrawn from
class and receive a W or, if it is your third attempt, an F.
If you stop participating after the withdrawal date, you will receive an F, which will then be computed as an F in your GPA. To
avoid this situation, you should remain an active learner in this class and always communicate extenuating circumstances to
me. Ongoing communication with the instructor is critical to your course success. Completion of tests, assignments, and other
class activities are used as indicators of your participation in order to satisfy this reporting requirement.
Participation:
Regular, active, and meaningful participation in online learning activities is a critically important component of this course and is
essential to your success. It is recommended that you log into the course several times during the online week. Frequency and quality
of participation may affect your grade.
Active participation is expected of all students in this course.

Check your email and course discussions regularly.
Ask questions.
Post and respond to messages in a timely manner.

as possible in the semester. Do not wait until the week of finals, as there will not be time to make alternate arrangements and
you will be unable to take the exam.)
Grading and Exam Policy
Assignment Submissions
o Assignment deadlines are posted in the Course Schedule table. Assignments must be submitted through the course. No
assignments will be accepted via email under ANY circumstance.
o Assignments submitted after the due date and time will only be accepted if prior arrangements have been made with the
instructor.
o Discussion postings are expected to be posted according to the Course Schedule table. No late discussion postings will
be accepted.
On-Campus Proctored Exams

This course has one required proctored exam that must be taken at one of the campus e-Testing Centers or at an alternate preapproved testing location. The exams may be taken anytime during the dates/ timeframe listed in the chart above. Tests may be
taken anytime during the dates indicated. Tests will not be administered after the dates and times indicated in the syllabus,
unless there are extenuating circumstances and you have made prior arrangements with the instructor.
BC e-Testing Centers are located on:
Central Campus Building 17 (library) Room 220, visit the Central Campus eTesting Center website to view their hours of
operation.
North Campus Building 46 (student services), Room 245, visit the North Campus eTesting Center website to view their
hours of operation.
Allow plenty of time to complete your test prior to the scheduled closing time of the eTesting Center. When the eTesting Centers
close, tests must be submitted whether they have been completed or not. You will not be able to return to complete the test at a
later date. Sundays are the busiest days so you may have to wait for a seat. Nothing is permitted in the eTesting Centers except
a pen/pencil unless the instructor has provided a list of approved testing aids (i.e., textbook, calculator, headphones,
etc.). Lockers and scratch paper are provided. See the testing center websites listed above for a complete list of rules. Children,
visitors, cell phones, beepers, food and drink are not permitted in the e-Testing Center.
You will need to show a BC identification card and one other form of picture ID in order to be able to take the test in the testing
center.
Students who live outside Broward County can find alternate proctoring sites see course schedule under final exam for
instructions and forms. Once you have located an approved proctored testing site, contact your instructor as soon as possible
with the name of the facility where you will take the exam, contact name, email address and phone number for the contact
person. There are added costs associated with these optional methods of testing and both must be pre-approved at the start
of the term.
Parking for Proctored Exams: Students who take only online courses (no on-campus exams) do not pay parking
fees and therefore are not eligible to obtain a parking hang tag.
o Students on North can park for free at the library.
o Students on both North and Central can email bconline@broward.edu at least three days in advance of the exam to
receive a temporary parking pass. The parking pass will be emailed to your BC email account, which you can print and
place on your dashboard on the day of the exam.
Make-up Exam Policy
o Make-up exams will be permitted only under extenuating circumstances and only with prior notification and documentation
(original funeral notice, original doctor note, etc.).
o The instructor reserves the right to create alternate make-up exams for students who are not able to take the scheduled,
on-campus exams.
o Exams cannot be made up after the exam date has passed unless prior arrangements have been made.
Online Quizzes
These quizzes can be taken any time prior to the closing date, and may be taken via any computer with an Internet
connection.
o Collaboration between students and discussion of quiz answers are NOT permitted.
o You will only be able to attempt each quiz once. Allow time to complete each quiz before the closing date and time. Make
sure you have a solid Internet connection. If your ISP disconnects you during a quiz, that will count as an attempt and you
will not be able to repeat the quiz.
o Quizzes cannot be completed after the due date and time. Please allow ample time to complete quizzes.
o Technical issues can happen and excuses about technical problems will not be accepted from students who wait until the
last minute to take exams.
o Respondus LockDown Browser is used in this course. Instructors will provide directions to students.

instructor immediately for concerns.
Communication Policy
Expectations for Course Communication:
D2L Email: Use the email tool only for private, personal, one-to-one communication with a specific individual or groups of
individuals. Emails must be sent via D2L.
Please do not send course related emails to the instructor's BC email address.
Solicitations will not be tolerated.
Assignments sent to the instructor via D2L or BC email will not be accepted, under ANY circumstances.
Alternate Communication: In the event that the course communication tools are unavailable for more than 24 hours, the
instructor will communicate with students (if necessary) via their BC email addresses. Access your BC email account at
http://www.broward.edu/info/studentemail/Home.jsp.
Discussions: Use the "Ask Your Instructor" discussion thread to post questions that might be of general interest to all students
such as questions about assignments, tests, etc. Feel free to respond to other students if you think you can help them. Proofread
the content of your posts before making them public; proper grammar and sentence structure are expected. Remember that the
discussion tool is public - everyone will be able to view posts and responses. See the Netiquette section below for expectations
regarding appropriate behavior in online discussions. NEVER post comments or questions about specific quiz questions on
the Ask Your Instructor discussion forum when the quiz is still available. Such posts will be deleted and you will be
contacted. Personal questions such as individual grade questions or concerns, email instructor- do not post on Ask Your
Instructor as again all students can see your posts.
Faculty Response Policy: Course emails and discussion posts will be answered within 48 hours, unless notified otherwise by
instructor. Emails sent on Saturday or Sunday may not be answered until Monday. It is recommended that you post courserelated questions in the Ask Your Instructor discussion area. If you need information related to a test or assignment, plan
ahead and submit your questions well ahead of the due date. Your instructor is not online 24 hours per day, so please allow time
for responses.
Chat: Chat allows you to talk with other students in the course in real-time outside of your on-campus class meetings. Students
must set up times to meet other students in the chat tool. This is a useful tool for coordinating group projects.
Netiquette: In all online communication, it is expected that all students will follow rules of online "netiquette". Netiquette is a set
of rules for polite online behavior that all members of this class are expected to follow. Read some general netiquette rules here.
Basically, these rules say "be respectful and be polite to each other" and "be patient," etc. No one is perfect and we all have
different approaches to life, work, and school.
Individuals who violate the netiquette policy or engage in disruptive online behaviors such as flaming (posting
disrespectful or hostile comments), posting inappropriate comments, or shouting (posting messages using all capitals)
may have their course access privileges revoked and/or they may be referred to the Student Dean. Students who
continue to engage in unacceptable online behavior after being warned, may be permanently denied access to the course
and/or may receive an F for the course.
Please don't use email shorthand like ROTFL (rolling on the floor laughing) or BTW (by the way) - not everyone knows
what these abbreviations mean. If you want to use emoticons (smileys) to convey feelings, please stick with the basics
happy :-) sad :-( or wink ;-). Others are less well known and are subject to different interpretations. The idea is to be clear
in your communications.
Privacy Notice: Course access records, quiz scores, email postings, discussion postings, and chat room conversations
will be stored. This is one more reason to make sure that your communications adhere to the netiquette policy.
Other Policies and Procedures

Special Needs - Students having special needs as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act should:
Notify the Office of Disability Services as early in the term as possible. It is the student's responsibility to contact the Disability
Support Office prior to document disability prior to receiving services.
Notify the instructor after you have contacted the Office of Disability Services so that the instructor can consult with the Office of
Disability Services to discuss what reasonable accommodations would be appropriate for your situation.
Academic Honesty
Each student's academic work must be the result of his or her own thought, research, or self-expression.
Cheating includes, but is not limited to copying the work of another person (plagiarism) or permitting your work to be copied by
another person, discussing test answers or questions with people who have not completed the test, distributing assignment
materials to other students, poses sing course materials that have not been formally released to students in the course, and
collaborating on the completion of assignments not specifically designated in the syllabus as being group projects".
Cheating will be considered a breach of BC's Code of Conduct Policy and may result in academic penalties (zero points on the
assignment/test in question, a failing grade for the course), disciplinary action, and/or a referral to the Dean of Student Affairs.
Examples 1) If it appears that two or more students have submitted the same material for any solo assignments, each student
involved will receive zero points for that assignment. 2) If it appears that a student has copied an assignment from published
material (including Internet sites), the student will receive zero points for that assignment.
Critical Event Procedure
In the event of a school closing due to weather or other major event that might impact class schedules, the instructor will post an
announcement indicating what changes, if any, the event will have on the course schedule and due dates.
Logging Off
Security Warning: If you don't close your browser or log off, a person using that machine after you will have access to your
course materials, could send e-mail to me in your name, and view your confidential student record. Protect your password. Click
"Logout."

The instructor reserves the right to make changes to this syllabus. In the event that changes become necessary, students will be
notified through course email.
