IV. COURSE REQUIREMENTS A. Your first responsibility is scholarship. The grade you receive for this course will not be the grade of the instructor, but rather the grade you and you alone make.

B. You should attend online class regularly on Central Texas College (CTC) Blackboard. Online attendance involves logging into your Blackboard class and participating in discussions, submitting assignments, etc. Be prepared to also take any unannounced quizzes relating to text assignments and lecture material presented from the beginning of the course. Please refer to ‘Class Attendance and Course Progress’ under the Academic Policies section in our current CTC Course Catalog.

C. You are encouraged to give your best effort throughout the semester. From the beginning, you should plan for a steady, organized, and continuous effort, which in the long run will prove more effective for your final grade than a last minute crash-cram policy. Your course grade is not determined solely by exam grade. Such factors as class participation, initiative, attendance, and individual research papers will be considered in grade computation.

D. From time to time, special library and/or outside assignments will be made to members of the class individually and/or in groups. You are expected to read all assignments and fulfill your responsibilities to any group assignment.

E. You are expected to read all assigned material and bring your textbook to class. Keep informed on all assignments, especially after an absence.

F. Good class notes are indispensable for earning a good grade, since both the material assigned and that discussed in class will be the basis for examination material.

G. Scholastic Honesty: All students are required and expected to maintain the highest standards of scholastic honesty in the preparation of all coursework and during examinations. The following are considered examples of scholastic dishonesty: Plagiarism: The taking of passages from the writing of others without giving proper credit to the sources. Collusion: Using another’s work as one’s own, or working together with another person in the preparation of work, unless such joint preparation is specifically approved in advance by the instructor.

CJSA 1313 11th Ed. (08.14) 218B9286 Page 3 of 14 Cheating: Giving or receiving information on examinations. Students guilty of scholastic dishonesty will be administratively dropped from the course with a grade of “F” and be subject to disciplinary action, which may include suspension and expulsion. H. Special Work: A term paper or other project, per requirements of the instructor, will be required. The subject must be appropriate for the course material. Check with the instructor when you have made a selection. The value is indicated in the semester grade computation and has considerable weight on your final average.

V. COURSE FORMAT –EUR-DL (On-Line with Blackboard) This course has been developed as an on-line course. The course will be interactive through Blackboard assignments and responses. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure that they have access to CTC Blackboard and that they are familiar with the contents and assignments. It is also the student’s responsibility to log into CTC Blackboard at least once a week to ‘attend’ the online class and to participate in the online Blackboard discussions and assignments. Failure to do so will violate the attendance policy and will have a negative impact on the course grade. In addition, instructional strategies will include weekly CTC Blackboard assignments and discussion boards to accomplish the remaining instruction per week.

VI. EXAMINATIONS A. There will be a minimum of two major examinations and a written paper or project as follows: 1. Mid-term exam on 5 March 2018 2. Final Exam on 26 March 2018 3. Term Paper due on 19 March. 2018 B. A student must be present (on-line) for all examinations. Students who know in advance that they will be absent from an examination due to valid reasons must arrange to take an early examination. Unexpected absences due to illness or extenuating circumstances will require the student to contact the instructor about individual make-up work. C. Students without excused absences will be given a zero for the missed examination. D. Examinations will consist of both objective (true/false, multiple choice, fill in-the- blank, and matching) and subjective (short answer and essay) questions. Students must be able to communicate both orally and in written form, thus some questions requiring the composition and writing of an essay answer will be required.

VII. SEMESTER GRADE COMPUTATIONS The final grade in this course will be based on the following:

VIII. NOTES AND ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FROM COURSE INSTRUCTOR A. Tuition refunds are made only in the case of class cancellation or official and timely withdrawal from CTC or from a course. Please refer to the current course catalog for more details.

B. GoArmyEd students should contact their education counselor before withdrawing and are required to withdraw through the GoArmyEd portal. Please note: a military withdrawal does not override CTC’s grading policy. 1 For self-pay students, refunds are computed from the date the Application for 1.1 Withdrawal or Refund is filed with the CTC Site Coordinator or designated student Services Officer. Special conditions apply to students who receive federal, state, and/or institutional financial aid. Tuition and fees paid directly to the Institution by the Veterans Administration, Title IV (Financial Aid Programs, a sponsor, donor, or scholarship shall be refunded to the source rather than directly to the students.

C. Course Withdrawals, Student Responsibilities: It is the student’s responsibility to officially withdraw from a course. The instructor cannot initiate a withdrawal based upon a student’s request. Rather, students must initiate the withdrawal with the designated Education Center Representative, through the CTC Site Coordinator or designated counselor.

D. Faculty/Administrative Initiated Withdrawals

Faculty are authorized to withdraw students who are not making satisfactory course progress as outlined in the section of the Catalog entitled "Satisfactory Progress Standards”.

CJSA 1313 11th Ed. (08.14) 218B9286 Page 5 of 14 A student may be administratively withdrawn by a designated member of the administrative staff of the College under the following conditions:  The student has been placed on Academic Suspension or Disciplinary Suspension;  The student has an outstanding financial obligation owed to the college;  The student registered for a course without the required prerequisite or departmental permission;  Students who do not participate or complete graded activities during the first week will be administratively withdrawn. The college is under no obligation to refund tuition and fees, or other costs associated with a student who is administratively withdrawn. E. Incomplete / Course in Progress Grade Policy: An “IP” or “Incomplete” grade may be assigned by an instructor if a student has made satisfactory progress in a course with the exception of a major quiz, final exam, or other project. The “IP” grade may also be assigned based on circumstances beyond a student’s control, such as personal illness, death in the immediate family, or military orders. Notice of absences, with supporting documentation, may be required by the instructor. The instructor makes the final decision concerning the granting of the incomplete grade. With an “Incomplete” grade, students are required to complete a set amount of work before the instructor will submit an official letter grade.

F. Cellular phones, beepers, and other electronic devices will be turned off while the student is in the classroom or laboratory unless the student is using the device for class purposes. No texting or social networking is allowed during class.

G. Instructor Discretion : The instructor reserves the right of final decision in course requirements.

H. Civility: Individuals are expected to be cognizant of what a constructive educational experience is and respectful of those participating in a learning environment. Failure to do so can result in disciplinary action up to and including expulsion.

IX. COURSE OUTLINE Note: The instructor has the right to change the course schedule. Any changes will be announced on-line.
