ATTENDANCE

The College-wide attendance policy is included in the Syllabus Addendum:

www.spcollege.edu/addendum/#attend

 

For this class, attendance is defined as completing all of your assigned work online, by the due date.

 

All assignments are due no later than 6pm

 

Attendance is mandatory. Since we will meet online it is suggested that you check the course several times a week – MyCourses is our online “classroom.”

 

Online – Every week you will normally complete one module.

 

The graded work for most modules will include:

 

1. One Discussion Post and one reply post (at least one for every discussion topic)

2. AND/OR One Dropbox Assignment

3. AND/OR One Quiz

 

There is additional work (exams, self-assessments, etc.), as you will see below.

 

This course is NOT self-paced. You are expected to keep up with the class schedule. Modules are due according to the due dates.

 

The students who drop out of the course or fail are almost always the students who get behind early in the semester and then can't catch up.

 

GRADING

Your final grade in this class will be based on the points you earn on assignments. Grades are based on a 1000 point scale.

 

Your final grade will be determined as follows:

 

1. Discussions and Reply posts    180 points (30 points each)

2. Quizzes                                         260 points (20 points each)

3. Dropbox Assignments                260 points (most 30 points each)

4. Midterm Exam                              200 points

5. Final Exam                                   100 points

 

See due dates on the Course Calendar and by each Module.

A 1000 point scale will be used in this course.

 

The grading scale is as follows:

A - 900 - 1000+ points (90-100%)

B - 800 - 899 points (80-89%)

C - 700 - 799 points (70-79%)

D - 600 - 699 points (60-69%)

 

Students must make a “C” or better to pass.

 

 

 

 

 

 

COURSE REQUIREMENT:

Your Dropbox Submissions and Discussion Board Posts will be graded for this purpose.

PHI 1600 is a Gordon Rule Class (the Gordon Rule originated with the Florida legislature). A Gordon Rule Class requires students to demonstrate college-level writing skills through all assignments. In order to pass PHI 1600 and fulfill the general education requirement for ethics, you must (a) successfully complete at least 2,000 words of college level writing, and (b) achieve a final grade of “C” or better in PHI 1600.

 

 

ASSIGNMENTS

Exams

Midterm Exam

The midterm is a mandatory assignment. The midterm is proctored, this means it is a “real test”.  You will be required to show photo I.D. and someone will watch you take the test. There are no notes, books, or outside material of any kind allowed. You can find study material, as well as, information on how to set up the proctor in the midterm folder.

 

Final Exam

You will have a final exam on remaining chapters: 11, 14, 15, 18, 19, and 22, and all of the supplemental materials provided to that point. This will be a multiple choice exam similar to the quizzes. This exam is not proctored, and it will be open book, but timed. So, prepare well before opening the exam.

 

 Please read the following closely. Students can “earn” their way out of taking the final exam. Students who submit every assignment (every means all – all web reports, quizzes, bulletin board postings, writing, midterm, test, anything and everything) prior to each deadline starting with Module 1 through Module 14, will automatically earn a 100% on the final exam and will not have to take the exam. These points will be awarded after I finish grading everything from Module 14.

 

Earlier in the syllabus, it discussed the 6pm deadline as well as no excuses being accepted – this obviously applies to the final exam exemption. To be eligible for the “free” points in lieu of taking the final exam you must turn in every assignment before its deadline – no stories, no excuses, and no exceptions. Any “0”, or lack of a meaningful attempt at any assignment, during the time that Modules 1 - 14 are due will disqualify you from this opportunity. To that end, the assignments must be submitted in the correct format and follow the instructions. Start early, work ahead, do every assignment, double check each and every assignment after you submit and you will be rewarded.

If for some reason you are not able to complete every assignment or receive any “0” for any reason you will have to take the final exam. (no exceptions)

 

 

Drop boxes

You will be asked to apply what you have learned in well-written submissions. You will receive clear instructions on what to submit.

These submissions are graded for content, grammar and spelling. Complete all submissions adequately to earn credit.

 

Discussion Posts and Reply posts

You will have discussion posts in most modules. This includes assignment and reply posts for each discussion board. Consider the discussion forums as your classroom; as in a face-to-face class being in the classroom is vital to learning. Online, being on the discussion board is vital to learning. You will learn from posting and reading others’ posts. Also, you can be dropped for non-participation if you do not complete all work including posts. Posting is vital to participation online.

 

These posts are graded for content, grammar and spelling. Complete all posts and replies adequately to earn credit. You will not receive any points if you do not post an assignment post (even if you post reply posts).

 

Quizzes

In most, if not all modules you will have a quiz on the chapter(s) in that module and all of the supplemental materials provided. These will be a multiple choice quizzes open book, but timed. So prepare well before opening the quiz.  See my note in Module 1 regarding all quizzes for this course.

 

 

Late work

An important note… Because this is an online class, there is great flexibility for the student.  However, it is important that students note from the beginning that I DO NOT ACCEPT LATE WORK.  Almost all Modules and work will be available from the start of the semester until the due dates listed in the syllabus. Because you will have so much time to work on these Modules, late work is not accepted for any reason. In other words…..work ahead. Computer problems, problems with MYCOURSES, problems with “the internet,” etc. will not allow for work to be turned in late. The lesson here is to do the work early so you don’t run into problems.

I do not distinguish between excused and unexcused absences. For most Modules you will have windows of times (usually weeks) to get the work done.

Online Student Participation and Conduct Guidelines: www.spcollege.edu/addendum/#onlineguide

 

Academic Honesty: www.spcollege.edu/academichonesty

St. Petersburg College has an Academic Honesty policy. It is your responsibility to be familiar with the policies, rules, and the consequences of violations. There is no tolerance for cheating and academic dishonesty. Students who violate the academic honesty policy within this course will receive a final grade of an “F” on the first offense. Note that copy/pasting published information, whether it's from your textbook or the Internet, without citing your source is plagiarism and violates this policy. Even if you change the words slightly, the ideas are someone else's so you still have to cite your sources. Cheating, plagiarism, bribery, misrepresentation, conspiracy, and fabrication are defined in Board Rule 6Hx23-4.461. Student Affairs: Academic Honesty Guidelines, Classroom Behavior.

 

All students are required to abide by the following Academic Honesty Guidelines:

 

Each student is required to subscribe to the Guidelines upon registration each semester by signing the following pledge which is contained on the Registration and Drop/Add Form:

I understand that SPC expects its students to be honest in all of their academic work. I agree to adhere to this commitment to academic honesty and understand that my failure to comply with this commitment may result in disciplinary action, up to and including expulsion from the College.

A copy of this form can be obtained at the Office of the Registrar.

II. The conduct set forth hereinafter constitutes a violation of the Academic Honesty Guidelines. Those adjudged to have committed such conduct shall be subject to discipline up to dismissal.

A. Cheating - the improper taking or tendering of any information or material which shall be used to determine academic credit. Taking of information includes, but is not limited to, copying graded homework assignments from another student; working together with another individual(s) on a take-home test or homework when not specifically permitted by the instructor; looking or attempting to look at another student’s paper during an examination and; looking or attempting to look at text or notes during an examination when not permitted. Tendering of information includes, but is not limited to, giving your work to another student to be used or copied; giving someone answers to exam questions either when the exam is being given or after having taken an exam; giving or selling a term paper or other written materials to another student; sharing information on a graded assignment.

B. Plagiarism - The attempt to represent the work of another as the product of one’s own thought, whether the other’s work is published or unpublished, or simply the work of a fellow student.  Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, quoting oral or written materials without citation on an exam, term paper, homework, or other written materials or oral presentations for an academic requirement; submitting a paper which was purchased from a term paper service as your own work; submitting anyone else’s paper as your own work.

C. Bribery - The offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of any materials, items or services of value to gain academic advantage for yourself or another.

D. Misrepresentation - Any act or omission with intent to deceive an instructor for academic advantage. Misrepresentation includes using computer programs generated by another and handing it in as your own work unless expressly allowed by the instructor; lying to an instructor to increase your grade; lying or misrepresenting facts when confronted with an allegation of academic dishonesty.

E. Conspiracy - The planning or acting with one or more persons to commit any form of academic dishonesty to gain academic advantage for yourself or another.

F. Fabrication - The use of invented or fabricated information, or the falsification of research or other findings with the intent to deceive for academic professional advantage.

 

To put it plainly, This is an Ethics class – No cheating!! Cheating of any kind cannot be tolerated. Cheating, whether on quizzes, exams or any assignments, is an attempt to get a grade without learning or earning. Also, allowing others to cheat by doing their work or allowing them to copy your work is cheating. This includes posting your work on the internet where others can view and/or download. Any of these violations and those listed above, violates the rights of your fellow students who do not cheat. Cheating defeats your purpose for being in school and hurts you in the long run. If a student is caught cheating, including plagiarizing, he/she will receive an F for the course and be reported to the administration.

 

 

 

 

 

Netiquette:

 

Course email is for course work discussions only. If any student receives SPAM/personal type emails, report this to the instructor immediately.

 

Do not send mass emails. 

 

If you have a problem or issue email the instructor so the problem can be solved.  Do not email your fellow students, they cannot fix the problem.  Email is not a place to vent.

 

Be courteous when emailing (and speaking with others). State questions clearly. Remember, emotions are not easily conveyed through email. If you are upset – wait. Do not email until you have control of your emotions. Always use professional language and college level writing.

 

TurnItIn

The instructor of this course may require use of Turnitin.com as a tool to promote learning. The tool flags similarity and mechanical issues in written work that merit review. Use of the service enables students and faculty to identify areas that can be strengthened through improved paraphrasing, integration of sources, or proper citation. Submitted papers remain as source documents in the Turnitin database solely for the purpose of detecting originality. Students retain full copyright to their works. The Turnitin Usage Agreement can be reviewed at: turnitin.com/agreement.asp. Students who do not wish to submit work through Turnitin must notify their instructor via course email within the first seven days of the course. In lieu of Turnitin use, faculty may require a student to submit copies of sources, preliminary drafts, a research journal, or an annotated bibliography.
