Students will be allowed to complete course requirements that are missed because of a religious observance. Sexual Harassment Sexual harassment will not be tolerated by the University. It subverts the mission of the University and threatens the careers, educational experience, and well being of students, faculty, and staff. The University will not tolerate behavior between or among members of the University community which creates an unacceptable working environment. Course Schedule Please note for the purposes of this course the week starts on a Sunday and ends on the following Sunday. Most assignments are due on Sunday 11:59 Central Time (or “D2L time”). Course Policies All policies governing University course proceedings including student actions shall be followed. University policies on course syllabi may be found at http://www4.uwm.edu/secu/SyllabusLinks.pdf Policies regarding course assignments, grading, and participation that are mentioned in this syllabus shall be enforced as described. A. All assignments are to be word-processed (except where noted). A 12-point font should be used. Your name and appropriate identifying information (e.g. date, the name of the course, instructor name) should appear on the top of the first page of the assignment. Assignments will ONLY be accepted in Microsoft Word or rich text format (.RTF). If you have a different word processing program (such as Works) you will need to save your assignments as an .RTF. B. There are high expectations for this introductory course. Student should focus on what is 2 THER REC 203 online through University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee presented (content) as well as how it is presented (process). Present your ideas effectively by using appropriate terminology and concentrating on grammar, spelling, and sentence and paragraph construction. Points will be deducted for assignments that do not present professionally. Text instant messaging (IM) is not an acceptable format for this course (discussion boards, emails, etc.) C. Keep copies of all your work (hard drive, flash drive, CD, etc.). Student assignments occasionally get misplaced, technology errors occur or grades do not get recorded. It is your responsibility to document your work. Maintaining copies of all your assignments is the best way to do this. I strongly encourage students to create their discussion board initial and response postings in a Word document then copy and past them to the discussion boards. This will allow you to check for spelling, grammar and sentence structure errors. This will also provide you a copy of your work. D. Plagiarism. Each student is expected to do his or her own work for all course assignments. Any student found cheating, plagiarizing a written assignment, of falsifying a course requirement will receive a failing grade for the assignment and/or be referred for University disciplinary action. One key way to prevent the perception of plagiarism is to cite the references used in assignments. Please review the lecture notes on APA found in the content and links of the D2L course site. F. Exam policies. There will be one midterm quiz and one final exam in this class. The quiz and exam format will include mainly true/false and multiple choice questions. It is expected you will take the exams on your own. No group work is allowed. G. Participation. Class participation is extremely important for this course. It is commonly demonstrated through online assignments. Please see the assignment section of the course syllabus for details on assignment expectations and due dates. Points will be lost for late or lack of participation. H. Late assignments. Late assignments will not automatically be accepted. It is always best to contact the instructor PRIOR to any issues with deadlines so a plan may be designed. Most assignments are due on Sunday 11:59pm Central Time (or “D2L time”). Please see the Assignments section in the course syllabus, the Activities section in each course module or the Course schedule for specific assignment due dates. Late assignments will result in point deductions. One point for each day will be deducted up to 7 days. After 7 days or the close of a module, it is the discretion of the instructor if the assignment will be accepted. In most cases, late discussion board participation will NOT be accepted unless there is a discussion with the instructor prior to the late posting. I. Honor Code. The College of Health Sciences (CHS) has established an honor code for all students to follow. It is posted on the D2L site under the introductory module (Module 1). Students are encouraged to read the document and, more importantly, follow all of the tenets of the code. J. Credit hour policy. UWM policy has established a credit hour policy. This document identifies the time students need to invest in the course to be successful. A general rule is for 1 credit hour an additional 2 hours of outside work is required for student success. For this course student should anticipate devoting no less than 108 hours of time over the entire semester reviewing course content, completing the readings and assignments. 3 THER REC 203 online through University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee D2L Down Time Summer is usually the time when much of the maintenance for the learning management system or Desire to Learn (D2L) is scheduled.
