They are expected to check their course email at least three times a week, to adhere to course netiquette guidelines, due dates, and procedures, and immediately notify their instructor when problems arise. In order to maintain a productive classroom environment, it is essential that we maintain a collegial atmosphere founded on mutual respect. This way, everyone will experience the same supportive, structured, top-quality learning environment their registration entitles them to. With this in mind, students must adhere to the same level of courtesy and formality expected in a traditional environment, including but not limited to: carefully proofreading and polishing all course communications (including e-mail and discussion boards) and being respectful of their peers, and their instructor, in doing so. Students are expected to abide by SCFs Student Handbook guidelines, as well as those listed in the course syllabus, description, overview, and netiquette guidelines. Although the course does not meet face to face after meeting one, students are expected to attend class by checking in, several times a week, to review course e-mail, check for announcements and added resources, and work on class readings and assignments. Students

who do not do so, or do not successfully complete all course work, by the assigned due dates, will be withdrawn from the class. Plagiarism is the use of ideas, facts, opinions, illustrative material, data, direct or indirect wording of another scholar and/or writerprofessional or studentwithout giving proper credit.

This semester, the withdrawal date is May 14th. Students should take responsibility to initiate the withdrawal procedure but are strongly encouraged to talk with their instructors before taking any withdrawal action. In addition, students should note that faculty may also withdraw students for violating policies, procedures or conditions of the class, as outlined in individual class syllabi, and such action could affect financial aid eligibility. Note: Students who do not complete each weeks objectives and activities, by the assigned due dates, will be dropped from the course. Collaborative Work: Although this class does not meet, or rarely meets, on campus, it is not a directed study. Extensive collaboration is required (via discussion board meetings, email, collaborative research blogs, peer review of essay drafts, etc) - just as it is in a traditional classroom setting. Collaborative projects involve working collectively to complete, compile, review, and present material, and prompt completion of such work is required for ongoing participation in the class. Insufficient, late, or inadequate contributions may necessitate a students removal from the course. Grading Policy: While there is some flexibility in scheduling ones coursework, and early submissions are possible, work not turned in before or by the stated due date will not be accepted- under any circumstances- and there are no make-up assignments. Students with personal computer issues are expected to make up for them by using campus, or other resources.
