Course Policies:
General Policy Students must abide by policies in the Clayton State University Student Handbook, and the Basic Undergraduate Student Responsibilities. The Student Handbook is part of the Academic Catalog and Student Handbook, which begins on page 6.
University Attendance Policy Students are expected to attend and participate in every class meeting. Instructors establish specific policies relating to absences in their courses and communicate these
policies to the students through the course syllabi. Individual instructors, based upon the nature of the course, determine what effect excused and unexcused absences have in determining grades and upon students’ ability to remain enrolled in their courses. The university reserves the right to determine that excessive absences, whether justified or not, are sufficient cause for institutional withdrawals or failing grades. Course attendance and procedure policies:
Students are expected to complete all listening and reading assignments prior to class meetings.
Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class session. Students are expected to arrive on time and actively participate in class discussions based on the reading and listening assignments.
Use of electronic devices (computers, phones, tablets, etc.) is not allowed in class, except when announced. Exceptions will be made to this policy only in the case of documented disabilities.
Make-up exams will be given only in the case of dire emergencies. The reason for the missed exam or presentation must be given in a note from a doctor or other appropriate authority.
Missed Work
Without a valid excuse, a grade of zero points will be assigned for the missed work. If a valid excuse is provided:
Missed classwork must be completed before the next class meeting. If this is not possible, the grade will not be included in the student’s overall grade, and other work will be more heavily weighted.
Make-up examinations will be given only if they are taken before graded examinations are returned to students.
The final examination must be taken. Students missing the final examination should contact their instructor concerning the applicability of an Incomplete grade.
Academic Dishonesty
Any type of activity that is considered dishonest by reasonable standards may constitute academic misconduct. The most common forms of academic misconduct are cheating and plagiarism. All instances of academic dishonesty will result in a grade of zero for the work involved. All instances of academic dishonesty will be reported to the Office of Community Standards. Judicial procedures are described beginning on page 19 in the section of the Academic Catalog and Student Handbook titled, Procedures for Adjudicating Alleged Academic Conduct Infractions.
Plagiarism Detection Software Students agree that by taking this course all required papers may be subject to submission for textual similarity review to Turnitin.com for the detection of plagiarism. All submitted papers will be included as source documents in the Turnitin.com reference
database solely for the purpose of detecting plagiarism of such papers. You should submit your papers in such a way that no identifying information about you is included. Note: Papers should be submitted both electronically and as hard copies. Disruption of the Learning Environment Behavior which disrupts the teaching–learning process during class activities will not be tolerated. While a variety of behaviors can be disruptive in a classroom setting, more serious examples include belligerent, abusive, profane, and/or threatening behavior. A student who fails to respond to reasonable faculty direction regarding classroom behavior and/or behavior while participating in classroom activities may be dismissed from class. A student who is dismissed is entitled to due process and will be afforded such rights as soon as possible following dismissal. If found in violation, a student may be administratively withdrawn and may receive a grade of WF. More detailed descriptions of examples of disruptive behavior are provided in the Clayton State University Academic Catalog and Student Handbook starting on page 14. Writing Assistance The goal of the Writers’ Studio is to give rise to better writers, not just to better writing. People who love to write, people who struggle mightily with it, and people who fall anywhere else on the spectrum can find a place at The Writers’ Studio—a place for students to come for writing guidance and feedback. Each student may receive up to 90 minutes of assistance per day and 3 hours per week. Furthermore, both appointments and walk-ins are welcome. Here’s The Writers’ Studio’s contact information: Location: Arts & Sciences Building, Room G-224 Phone: 678.466.4728 Email: [email protected] Website: http://clayton.edu/writersstudio Visit The Writers’ Studio at http://clayton.edu/writersstudio or schedule your appointment online at http://clayton.mywconline.com (Note: first-time users need to complete a one-time registration prior to using the online appointment website).
