(17) General Course Policies: Students should make every effort to attend all classes, to take notes, and to turn in all assignments on time. Some of the work that we do in class simply cannot be done out of class or made up later. Students who attend class regularly simply have a greater chance of doing better work. In the event that an absence cannot be avoided, it is your responsibility to contact me and to make arrangements for any handouts or materials you may have missed.

Meeting deadlines is a general obligation that we all face. You should make every effort to submit assignments on time. A late assignment will generally lose 10% of its points for each day beyond the due date.

Additional course expectations:

1. Thorough, thoughtful, and critical reading of assigned material.

2. Active, informal participation in class discussion and activities and intellectual engagement at all

Page 4 of 7 times. The assigned reading must be brought to class with you as we will often look at specific passages together for discussion or writing prompts. Expect to lose participation / daily grade points for not having the book / assigned reading with you.

3. Regular and on time class attendance. If a quiz is given it will typically be done at the start of class. You will not be allowed to make up the quiz if you arrive after I have collected them from the class. Quizzes cannot be made up for any reason but at the end of the semester I will drop your lowest quiz score.

4. Assignments submitted on time and in appropriate format. All work prepared outside of class must be word processed.

5. Work submitted to the instructor must be the student’s own work and must be produced for the first time for this course. Please do NOT recycle work produced for another course, either your own or someone else’s. Please consult any of the following for official statements regarding academic honesty: the Undergraduate Bulletin policy statement on academic honesty which can be accessed at: https://semo.edu/pdf/2015Bulletin.pdf?ver=1.0; the Graduate Bulletin at: https://semo.edu/pdf/Grad_GraduateBulletin_2015-2016.pdf or the Responsible Redhawks Guide at: http://www.semo.edu/RedhawksGuide#sthash.wseNZvUp.dpuf for statements concerning plagiarism and other guidelines.

6. A learning environment that is based on mutual respect, cooperation, tolerance, and civil behavior. This includes following the procedures outlined in this document and adhering to classroom policies. It also includes no cell phones or texting while in class. No food or drink. Daily grade points may be deducted for violating a classroom policy even if I don’t say anything to you at the time.

(18) Classroom Guideline for Minimizing the Risk of COVID-19 • Practice social distancing (six feet of spacing), wear facial coverings, and follow proper prevention hygiene, such as washing your hands frequently and using alcohol-based (at least 60% alcohol) hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available. • The wearing of a face covering is a University safety requirement under the current conditions as well as a Cape Girardeau County Emergency Order pursuant to RSMo 192.300. We hope that through modeling and a positive and encouraging environment, all will do their part. If a student refuses to wear a face covering, it would be handled in the same manner as if they refused to comply with a course requirement or adhere to the Code of Student Conduct. An instructor may ask a student to leave a class and an employee may ask a person to leave a meeting or event if they do not wish to comply with the Face Coverings and Social Distance Guidelines. • In the event that a student does not comply with this guidance and does not leave the space, faculty/staff should send the student’s name and email address or Southeast ID to [email protected]. If a student refuses to leave a classroom or other University facility upon request, and/or becomes disruptive, the Department of Public Safety can be contacted for assistance.

o If you are not able to wear face coverings due to health or ADA concerns, contact the office of Disability Services at [email protected] or 573-651-5927 for information on how to obtain an exemption. Affected individuals should also consult with their physicians before wearing a face covering. • Avoid sharing electronic devices, books, pens, and other learning aids unless thoroughly cleaned between users. Page 5 of 7

• Students are encouraged to clean and disinfect before and after class, any contact surfaces such as chairs, desks, and equipment utilized for the class. Students will follow the protocol established for this classroom. • Appropriate signage will be displayed in the classroom or adjacent areas on protocols to follow that protect our community members during classes. Please become familiar with this information and follow it in our shared community. • The seating in your classroom may be positioned to maintain social distancing or signs may be posted with seating direction. Do not move seating or signs unless instructed to do so by your instructor. • Social Distancing minimizes risk. When in buildings, hallways and entering or exiting buildings or classrooms, maintain at least six feet of social distancing space and avoid gathering in groups.

(19) Academic Honesty – Southeast Missouri State University expects all students, faculty and staff to operate in an honest and ethical manner. Academic dishonesty is a very serious offense because it undermines the value of your education and the education of others. Students who engage in academic dishonesty face significant penalties. Forms of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to, plagiarism, cheating, contract cheating, misrepresentation, and other actions you take. Some of these are defined below: • Plagiarism means passing off someone else’s work as your own, whether it is intentional or unintentional. • Cheating includes copying from another person or source of information to meet the requirements of a task. • Contract cheating is paying someone else or a company to do your work. • Misrepresentation means you are posing as someone else or someone else is posing as you to complete a task. • Collusion means working with one or more people to cheat. If you help someone cheat or plagiarize you will face the same penalties. For more information, visit the Responsible Redhawks Code of Conduct http://www.semo.edu/responsibleredhawks/code-of-conduct.html or the Faculty Handbook Section (D) on Academic Honesty http://www.semo.edu/facultysenate/handbook/5d.html (20) Accessibility – Southeast Missouri State University and Disability Services are committed to making every reasonable educational accommodation for students who identify as people with disabilities. Many services and accommodations which aid a student’s educational experience are available for students with various disabilities. Students are responsible for contacting Disability Services to register and access accommodations. Accommodations are implemented on a case by case basis. For more information, visit http://www.semo.edu/ds/ or contact Disability Services at 573-651-5927. (21) Civility – Your university experience is purposely designed to introduce you to new ideas, help you think effectively, develop good communication skills, evaluate information successfully, distinguish among values and make sound judgements. Doing this well requires respectful and courteous discussion among and between students and the instructor. Together, we must create a space where we acknowledge and respect others have different experiences, perspectives and points of view. Disagreements are likely. Mutual respect for one another and a willingness to listen are important. Remember, you are responsible for your behavior and actions. There is a no tolerance policy on bullying or harassment of any kind. Additional information on student conduct may be found at: http://www.semo.edu/pdf/stuconduct-code- conduct.pdf?ver=1.0 and http://www.semo.edu/pdf/Conduct_Faculty_Resource_Guide.pdf

(22) Mandatory Reporting – I will keep information you share with me confidential to the best of my ability, but as a professor I am legally required to share information about sexual misconduct and crimes I learn about to make our campus and community safe for everyone. (23) Student Success – This course uses SupportNET, Southeast’s student success network, to improve communication between students, faculty and staff on campus. You’ll get emails through SupportNET with information about resources or concerns. Please read these emails—they are sent to help you succeed! You can access SupportNET through your portal, Moodle or directly at supportnet.semo.edu to see any academic alerts, ask for help and to access resources to support your success at Southeast. *Definition of ‘blended’ to be added.
