Case Analysis - 6

You will produce six summaries/ conclusions, each worth 10 points each. The ten will come from posts on http://macdaddyncaasidhhp01.blogspot.com/. Students will sign on to the blog and put their name. Repeating a topic will result in zero points. You are to use the case analysis format in the book. The form is on the assignment tab on line. The students will present 3 in front of the class for total points. (60 total points)

Discussions – Weekly

Student will complete a weekly discussion throughout the term. Active participation is a must in this course. Each week one or more key discussion questions, activities, debates, etc. will be posted. Generally, you will be required to respond to the main discussion and then also make comments (a minimum of 2 or 3) on the responses of others in the course. Please note that the quantity of responses is not as important as the quality of the responses. Student will use complete sentences.

A running dialogue about course topics will be maintained via the website discussion forums. It is expected that you will fully participate in the online discussions. This means posting your own thoughts about the weekly topics, commenting on others’ ideas, and responding to questions about your own postings. Class participation points will be based more on quality than quantity. While it is relatively easy to post numerous, non-substantive comments, it takes more thought and effort to post intelligent, meaningful comments that move the discussion forward. For example, meaningful posts tend to:

Provide concrete examples, perhaps from your own experience
Identify consequences or implications
Challenge something that has been posted, perhaps by playing devil’s advocate
Pose a related question or issue
Suggest a different perspective or interpretation
Pull in related information from other sources – books, articles, websites, courses, etc.

Consider your time commitment to our online discussions to be critical to your success as a learner, as well as to the success of the course. Because ongoing participation is expected, a portion of your final grade will be based on participation. Participation scores will be based on three primary criteria:

Frequency and timeliness of postings
Content of your postings (the thoughtfulness/reflection that goes into your responses and the extent to which they address the topic for the week, including the assigned readings)
Adherence to online protocol

An online discussion forum is a “technological cognitive tool” that stimulates cognitive learning and critical thinking. Students engaged with course content in forums engage with other students in a generative processing of information. “Students draw upon their own experiences and interpretations and share these in the group discussion. They read other student responses and interpretations and compare these with their own thoughts. This involves the processes of reflection and the construction and reconstruction of domains of knowledge. The resulting kinds of learning from these processes are not a regurgitation of a lecture or reading. It is a negotiated interpretation of knowledge with student ownership. The learning is deeper and more long lasting and students refine their thinking and their voice” (Markel, 2009).

Asynchronous discussion enhances learning as you share your ideas, perspectives, and experiences with the class. You develop and refine your thoughts through the writing process, and you broaden your classmates’ understanding of the course content. Use the following feedback to improve the quality of your discussion contributions.

Examples of posts that demonstrate higher levels of thinking:

“Some common themes I see between your experiences and our textbook are….” (analysis)
“These newer trends are significant if we consider the relationship between ….” (synthesis)
“The body of literature should be assessed by these standards ….” (evaluation)

Student will go to external blog and pull an article and answer the following or student can search web and find and article

1. Label Blog with name and term or student will find their own and send to me to post on blog and label– 2pt

2. Student will post link on myonline education system – 2pts

4. Student will answer what would you have done in this situation as either a supervisor, employee, student athlete, coach, etc – In depth thought 50-150 words. – 2pts

School and Course Policies

School Closings

Due to inclement weather or other such emergencies, there may be circumstances when the University campus and in-seat classes are delayed or cancelled. In such instances, online courses shall continue as normal unless otherwise indicated.

Netiquette Policy

“Netiquette” or “network etiquette” is a set of guidelines and standards that encourage appropriate behavior while on the Internet. This includes all points of internet access such as emails, discussions, wikis, virtual meetings, text messages, social media, etc. As a student in an online course here at West Virginia State University, you are expected to comply with the following code of conduct or “netiquette” while engaging in the course.

Please review the syllabus to understand how faculty prefer to be contacted for class related questions (e.g., WVSU Online email, campus email, discussion boards, etc.).

1. When corresponding with faculty and staff outside of the WVSU Online email system, use your WVSU campus email account (e.g., imastudent@wvstateu.edu).

2. Maintain a level of professionalism in your correspondence. Your course work is part of your own career preparation, so interact with your instructor and peers as you would in a business setting. This means checking grammar, style, and spelling in all course communications.

3. Respect all participants and constituents in your online classroom including your teachers, fellow participants, and technical staff supporting online courses. This includes

· honoring their right to their opinions;

· respecting the right of each person to disagree with others;

· responding honestly but thoughtfully and respectfully using language which others will not consider foul or abusive;

· always signing your name to any contribution you choose to make;

· respecting your own privacy and the privacy of others by not revealing information which you deem private and which you feel might embarrass you or others;

· being constructive in your responses to others in the class; and

· being prepared to clarify statements which might be misunderstood or misinterpreted by others.

4. Maintain an adequate level of activity in your online course by signing in and reviewing course content at least 3 days a week.

5. Review assignments descriptions and available rubrics and guidelines BEFORE participating in these activities. This includes discussions, written assignments, exams, wiki assignments, etc.

6. If you are experiencing difficulties in the course, contact your instructor in a timely fashion (i.e., early enough for the issues to be rectified).

7. If you feel that another member of the class is violating netiquette guidelines, contact your professor for additional guidance.

What to Expect from an Online Course

A self-disciplined student will find online college courses to be rigorous, challenging, and engaging. A typical online college course will require as much or more work as a traditional college course. Most online courses require substantial reading and writing skills to master the subject. You should expect to spend 10-15 hours per week working in the course in order to complete the learning activities and assignments, take quizzes or exams, and participate in the classroom discussions.

Being a successful online student requires knowing where to go for the information you need and activities you are to complete.

Become familiar with the Moodle environment and the technology necessary to be successful in an online classroom. You will want to learn how to access course materials, communicate with classmates and your instructor, submit homework, take tests, and check your grades.

Students enrolled in online courses need good time management and communication skills to be successful. Below are guidelines to help you be a successful online student:

· Pace yourself. You will need to pace yourself and stay on top of the course schedule at all times. You also will need to set aside blocks of time to do your coursework when you will not have distractions. Be diligent and protective of your study time.

· Do not fall behind. If you must be away from the course for a legitimate reason such as illness, contact your instructor immediately and arrange for when you will be able to get caught up with your coursework.

· Follow up with your instructor(s) if you think something is wrong within the course. It may be that you missed something and need clarification, or that the instructor has not had a chance to respond to something in a timely manner.

· Engage yourself. You will need to communicate regularly with your instructor(s). You also will engage with your classmates in discussion forums or other types of learning activities. The more you communicate within the course, the more comfortable you will become with your instructor and classmates.

· Log into the course often and check for new announcements, assignments, and messages.

· Review the course schedule and keep track of due dates for projects, assignments, exams, etc.

· Ask questions when you don’t understand something, and don’t wait until the day before an assignment is due or you may not be able to get the help you need.

· Save all your work in the appropriate file format, such as MS Word or Excel, PDF, or other file format that the instructor can download and open. Save all of your work in a save and recoverable storage location, such as an external hard drive.

· Contact the helpdesk if you have a technical problem accessing the course.

o For technical assistance with WVSU Online, please submit a help desk request at the Center for Online Learning (COL) help desk website.

o You may also contact the WVSU COL Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Class Participation, Attendance, Deadlines, and Makeup

Materials are due per the syllabus date. Materials turned in late will result in ZERO points. If your county public school where you reside is canceled, you do not have to come to class. However you are responsible for what is covered that day… Late materials will not be accepted unless with a legal excuse – birth, death, sickness, court proceeding, citation, tow truck receipt. Students, especially teacher education majors, sports studies majors, will lead discussion of class and students will be assigned topics to cover in class. Logging on the night before class will definitely be beneficial to your grade.

WVSU Policy on Plagiarism

Plagiarism is a form of cheating; it is using someone else’s words or ideas as if they were your own. If you are borrowing words or ideas from a published source, you must indicate the source in some way, usually a brief reference to the author or title. If you use the exact words of the source, you must put these words in quotation marks and also mention the source. Copying an article from an encyclopedia or a page from a book and submitting it as your own work is obviously plagiarism, but so is using a sentence or paragraph from a published source, even if you have changed it slightly or rewritten it—unless you identify the source. The special techniques for referring to published sources, called documentation, are taught in English 102, among other courses.

However, the source does not have to be published or written for the offense to be labeled plagiarism. It is also possible to plagiarize in an oral presentation as well as written work. Copying another student’s work is sometimes called plagiarism. This form of cheating is subject to the same penalties as copying from published sources.

Penalties Associated with Plagiarism

If a student is discovered to have plagiarized the material for an essay or research paper, the student is subject to penalties similar to those for any form of cheating. These penalties will be imposed at the discretion of the instructor, who will take care to produce the evidence of plagiarism and see that the penalty is in proportion to the offense.

· Any instance of plagiarism discovered in the student’s work may result in a lower grade on the assignment.

· If substantial portions of a document are plagiarized, that is, copied from one or more published sources, then a grade of F for that assignment would be appropriate.

· If substantial portions of a research paper are plagiarized, then a grade of F would be appropriate. Since the research paper is often the most important assignment in a course, a failing grade caused by plagiarism may also result in failure of the course.

Appealing a Failing Grade

If a student wishes to appeal the failing grade given on the basis of plagiarism, both the student and the instructor should present, as soon as possible, all relevant evidence to the department chairperson, who may then rule on the merits of the case, or select a committee of three department members to review the evidence.

Academic Honesty Statement

From Policy Bulletin #57, the West Virginia Board of Directors of the State College System, Policies, Rules, and Regulations Regarding Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct in West Virginia State Universities and Colleges 7.05

c. Procedures related to academic dishonesty (e.g., plagiarism, cheating, falsifying records, etc.). Charges of academic dishonesty on the part of a student may be filed by any member of the academic community. Such charges shall be reviewed first at the department level by the chairperson, faculty member, and student involved. A written admission of guilt at this level may be resolved with a maximum penalty of F in the course.

If the student denies guilt, or the department chairperson feels the penalties at this step are insufficient for a specific act, the case shall be forwarded in writing to a presidentially designed academic officer with the rank of dean or equivalent. The case may be resolved at this level, or if thought warranted by the designated academic officer or requested by the student, the case shall be forwarded to be heard by an academic appeals committee.

The academic appeals committee shall present to the accused student and the person making the accusation written notification of the charges, which shall include at least:

I. A statement that a hearing will be held before an academic appeals committee, together with the notice of the date, time, and place of the hearing. A recommendation by an academic appeals committee for imposition of sanctions in a case of academic dishonesty is final.

II. A clear statement of the facts and evidence to be presented in support of the charges made.

WVSU Sexual Harassment Policy (Title IX)

West Virginia State University is committed to combatting sexual misconduct. As a result, you should know that University faculty and staff members are required to report any instances of sexual misconduct, including harassment and sexual violence, to the University’s Title IX office so that the involved parties may be provided appropriate resources and support options. What this means is that as your professor, I am required to report any incidents of sexual misconduct that are directly reported to me, or of which I am somehow made aware.

There are two important exceptions to this requirement about which you should be aware:

1. As a student of West Virginia State University, you may also talk to on-campus counselors that are here to assist you free of charge. Counselors do not have this mandatory reporting responsibility and can maintain confidentiality. More information regarding the office of Counseling and Accessibility Services (CAS) can be found here: http://www.wvstateu.edu/Current-Students/Counseling-and-Accessibility-Services.aspx

2. An important exception to the reporting requirement exists for academic work. Disclosures about sexual misconduct that are shared as part of an academic project, classroom discussion, or course assignment, are not required to be disclosed to the University’s Title IX office.

If you are the victim of sexual misconduct, WVSU encourages you to reach out to these resources:

· Title IX Office: 304-533-5392 (24-hour number)

· Counseling and Accessibility Services (CAS): 304-766-3168

If you have a safety concern, please contact Public Safety, 304-766-3353 or dial 911.

Other reporting information is available here: http://www.wvstateu.edu/titleix
