Discussions & Discussion Questions Participation Guidelines:

Students must post a minimum of three (3) times in each graded discussion. The three posts in

each individual discussion must be on separate days, the initial answer(s) and two responses

to peers. The student must provide an initial answer(s) to the graded discussion posted by the

course instructor, by Wednesday, 11:59 p.m. EST, of each week. If the student does not

provide an answer to each graded discussion topic (not a response to a student peer) before

the Wednesday deadline, an automatic “0” will be issued for that week’s DQ. Subsequent

posts, including essential responses to peers, must occur by the Sunday deadline, 11:59 p.m.

EST of each week.

*Credit for peer responses will be issued via the DQ rubric if peer responses are made without

an initial DQ response.

NOTE: To receive credit for a week’s discussion, students may begin posting no earlier than

the Monday of that week at 12:01 a.m. EST. Unless otherwise specified, access to all weeks

begins on the first day of the course.

DQ Submission Guidelines

Students must submit their initial weekly DQ post in two separate areas. First, the student will

submit their initial response via that week’s assignment link provided under the assignments

tab as a Word document. Once this is done, the student will then copy and paste their answer

onto that week’s DQ thread under the Discussions tab. Thereafter, all discussions and peer

replies will be conducted via the DQ board. Failure to submit your initial DQ response to

BOTH the assignments tab and the DQ thread will result in a “0” for that week’s DQ.

Note: All DQ submissions will be monitored for plagiarism.

Course Notes It is recommended that you login to this course at least 4 days each online week. Students are

also required to know the expectations or “etiquette” that pertains to the discussion board.

Students who abuse this forum by making harassing, inappropriate or abusive statements will

be removed and receive a zero (0).

Remember, your participation is essential to connecting with other students and developing an

online learning community. Furthermore, often it’s the deciding factor between receiving a

higher or lower grade at the end of the term.

Course Assignments Specific assignments, their due dates, and grading criteria are listed in this syllabus. You are

accountable for both individual assignments and for providing a significant contribution toward

your learning team’s collaborative assignments when assigned. Your course grade includes

scores from both your individual and group assignments. You are also responsible for

completing all assignments including readings, written papers, presentations, and class

discussions. You will be graded on the achievement of the objectives, not on the effort you put

into your assignments. All online discussions, written assignments and documentation of

others’ ideas and words in presentations must be in APA 6th edition format. You have one

opportunity to complete each assignment. Papers cannot be rewritten, and presentations

cannot be re-given to obtain a higher grade.

Late Assignments Due dates are established for reasons of equity. It is not fair to peers who complete

assignments on time if other classmates have extra time to work on their assignments. It is

also not fair to the professor who must grade assignments in a timely fashion. Therefore, 5% of

the assignment points (i.e., 1 out of 20, 1.25 out of 25, .2 out of 40 will be deducted each day

for late submissions.

Class Policies All students are responsible for reviewing the School Catalog section on Policies at:

Student Code of Ethics Cheating or plagiarism is dishonest, undermines the necessary trust upon which relations

between students and faculty are based, and is unacceptable conduct. Students who engage

in cheating or plagiarism will be subject to academic sanctions, including a lowered or failing

grade in a course; and the possibility of an additional administrative sanction, including

probation, suspension, or expulsion. Cheating is the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain

credit for academic work by using dishonest means. Cheating at FNU includes but is not

when informed of the evidence, to be a dishonest means of obtaining or attempting to obtain

credit for academic work. Plagiarism is the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for

academic work by representing the work of another as one’s own without the necessary and

appropriate acknowledgment. More specifically, plagiarism is: The act of incorporating the

ideas, words of sentences, paragraphs, or parts thereof without appropriate acknowledgment

and representing the product as one’s own work; and The act of representing another’s

intellectual work such as musical composition, computer program, photographs, painting,

drawing, sculpture, or research or the like as one’s own. If a student is in doubt about the

nature of plagiarism, he/she should discuss the matter with the course instructor. Theft –

Copying computer programs owned, leased, or rented by the College for use by the student in

his or her course of studies is considered theft and will be dealt with according to the laws

covering such actions and to the College norms for disciplinary actions. In cases like these, the

Campus Dean will convene a Hearing Committee which will hear, investigate and render a

report to the Campus Dean. This Committee will be composed of three members from the

faculty or staff. According to the findings, the Campus Dean will render a decision. If this

decision is not acceptable to those involved, a petition to the Dean to appoint an Honor Court

must be signed by at least three people. The Honor Court procedure is explained in the

Student Handbook.

Religious Holidays Religious holidays are an excused absence, but not beyond the day for the holiday itself.

Students should make their requests known at the beginning of the semester and

arrangements must be made with the faculty member for missed work.

Students with Disabilities Students with disabilities who may need special accommodations must register with the Office

of Disability Services. In addition, students must contact the instructor so that arrangements

can be made to accommodate their needs.
