Budget
You will do two budgets in your area of interest. The
form is on the assignment tab on line. The students will present 3 in front of
the class for total points. (100 total points)
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)

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 safe and recoverable storage location, such as an external hard drive.
·
Contact the helpdesk
if you have a technical problem accessing the course.

assistance with WVSU Online, please submit a help desk request at the Center for Online Learning (COL) help desk website or email - . col@wvstateu.edu
Class Participation, Attendance, Deadlines,
and Makeup
All Quizzes/Exams have the 3 or 4
opportunities and take the average of your test scores submitted.
Materials are due per the syllabus date.
Materials turned in late will result in ZERO points. Materials can always be
submitted early, 14 days or greater from
the due date. Turn it in early and you will have a second chance for
complete points.
You
are penalized for not following directions. You are penalized for not coming to
class prepared (I cover the chapter and ask questions from the chapter being
covered. I sometimes give an old school quiz). You will be assigned items
every class. There are 11 class sessions. You will be assigned materials to
discuss in class. Failure to be prepared will count the same as a miss. You are
allowed three missed classes without penalty. Upon your fourth miss, your grade will drop by 25 points for every miss
after the fourth missed class; you will start the class with an “F” and your
grade will improve as your total increases.
Proctored Testing

term, you may receive emails about your progress and academic performance in
the form of alerts or flags. These emails are meant to help you be more
successful in your courses, so be sure to follow all recommendations included
in the email you receive. Instructors may also use ACHIEVE to recognize and
celebrate your academic achievements by sending you kudos or compliments. If an
instructor makes a referral, you will be contacted by a Retention Specialist or
your Academic Advisor for follow-up and to discuss what on-campus resources
would be most beneficial to you at that time. To access ACHIEVE, simply log

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.
The academic appeals committee may also recommend that the
imposition of sanctions be held in abeyance where appropriate.
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.
