 Discussion
Prompts
For
Online class work, students will be required to submit
three responses for every online discussion question/assignment
that I post--one post that addresses the discussion
prompt, and two posts that address responses by classmates.
Your responses must be more than 2-3 sentences to get
full credit. Minimum of 100 words. Therefore, if you submit all three responses (100 word minimum each) you will receive full credit (10 points); two responses, you will receive partial credit (7.5 points); and one response, you will receive partial credit (5 points). If you fail to respond to a discussion prompt, you will receive "0" points. I addition, missing
an online discussion is the same as missing f2f classes.
Therefore, if you miss an online discussion, in addition
to missing discussion points, you will also be counted
as absent for the course that day.
Attendance
Requirements
Attendance
is required and necessary since this is a participation-oriented
class. More than five absences are grounds
for failure. There will be times in the semester when
you really need the days off, so don't miss class without
good reason.
If
you know you are going to miss a class, let me know.
You are responsible for finding out what you missed and
what assignments are due for the next class. If you
miss a class, FIRST, ask you classmates, then feel free
to ask me. Missed assignments will not be excused because
of absences. Athletes: any special arrangements for
athletes must be made with the professor at least two
weeks prior to the event.
Do
not come late to class. If you arrive more than 10 minutes
late, for any reason, you will be marked as absent.
Likewise for leaving class early. Also, three times
tardy equals an absence. Late attendance and absences
will affect your participation grade. If you miss more
than four (two, TR) classes, you will not receive
an "A" for your participation grade.

Drafts,
Revisions and Final Papers
All
work must be typed or produced on a word processor.
Every article should be titled and dated. Follow the
manuscript formation instructions in the APA handbook.
You will lose a substantial portion of your grade for
improper format—the same goes for improper grammar,
punctuation and spelling. You
must submit your final copy to WebVista. Deadlines are
taken very seriously (it's the profession). You will
receive 0 credit for articles turned in after the deadline.
Reading/Writing
Center
The
Writing Center, located in 109 Gamble, can be looked
on as an extension of any writing classroom. I encourage
you to take advantage of this free service whenever
you are writing a paper or trying to revise one. Drop
in, or call 927-5210 for an appointment.
Honor
Code
All
students at Armstrong Atlantic State University must
agree to abide by the Honor
Code and Code of Conduct. Under all circumstances,
students are expected to be honest in their dealings
with faculty, administrative staff, and fellow students.
Students must submit work that fairly and accurately
reflects their level of accomplishment. Any work that
is not a product of the student's own effort is considered
dishonest. Honor Code violations can lead to failure
in a course, student suspension or expulsion from the
institution.
