UNIVERSITY AND COURSE RULES AND PROCEDURES COURSE WORK:
- Students MUST take the scheduled quiz or examination within the 24-hour period on the dates indicated. In the Hybrid delivery format, THERE IS NO OPPORTUNITY FOR MAKE-UP QUIZZES. Quizzes will be both in person and online and can occur without any notice. All assignments MUST be submitted by the established deadline. Assignments submitted within 24 hours of the established deadline will be subject to a significant 50% penalty in points. Submissions made more than 24 hours after the established deadline will not be accepted. There is no “extra credit” work available, nor are exceptions or extensions to established schedules and policies except in the case of medical emergency documented with the Dean of Student Affairs. There are two major exams will be given during the semester. Exam questions will be multiple choice, multiple response, fill- in the blanks, matching or short answers. Do not schedule any activity during the final exam period in this class. There will be no excused absences or makeup for the final exam. The final exam is not cumulative. MAKE-UP EXAMS: Students are strongly advised to take all exams at the scheduled time. Plan and schedule your activities so that you can be present to take all exams at the scheduled time. Students with non-valid or non-official excuses for missing an exam will earn a grade of zero (0) for the missed exam. Students may request a make-up exam for one that was missed. However, the instructor will schedule the time of the make- up exam which will not interrupt the complete coverage of the course topics.
- STUDENT CLASS ATTENDANCE POLICY: The University Attendance Policy requires students to be present for each scheduled class or schedule online assignments. Students are responsible for materials covered during their absences. Online class assignments will start at the prescribed time and end at the prescribed time. Failure to complete online assignments are accumulated beginning with the first day of class. The University catalog provides more detailed information.
- ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT: Students caught cheating will receive a grade of F for the course. Academic Integrity is of high value in this course. CHEATING and FACILITATION is not tolerated in any form and is subjected to an automatic failure and grade of ZERO. Students are prohibited from participation in acts of academic dishonesty, including tampering with records or falsifying admissions or other information. Disciplinary action will be taken against any student who alone or with others engages in any act of academic fraud or deceit. The undergraduate catalog provides more detailed information. It is the responsibility of students and faculty members to maintain academic integrity at the University by refusing to participate in or tolerate academic dishonesty. Reports must be the work of the individual student. Evidence of copying your work from others, including the world wide web, is cheating. Students should read the section on Offenses and Appropriate Disciplinary Actions in the current PVAMU website catalog. Forms of academic dishonesty:
- Cheating: deception in which a student misrepresents that he/she has mastered information on an academic exercise that he/she has not mastered; giving or receiving aid unauthorized by theinstructor on assignments or examinations.
- Academic misconduct: tampering with grades or taking part in obtaining or distributing any part of a scheduled test.
- Fabrication: use of invented information or falsified research.
- Plagiarism: unacknowledged quotation and/or paraphrase of someone else’s words, ideas, or data as one’s own in work submitted for credit. Failure to identify information or essays from the Internet and submitting them as one’s own work also constitutes plagiarism.
- NONACADEMIC MISCONDUCT (See Student Handbook): The University respects the rights of instructors to teach and students to learn. Maintenance of these rights requires campus conditions that do not impede their exercise. Campus behavior that interferes with either (1) the instructor’s ability to conduct the class, (2) the inability of other students to profit from the instructional program, or (3) campus behavior that interferes with the rights of others will not be tolerated. An individual engaging in such disruptive behavior may besubject to disciplinary action. Such incidents will be adjudicated by the Dean of Students under nonacademic procedures.
- SEXUAL MISCONDUCT (See Student Handbook): Sexual harassment of students and employers at Prairie View A&M University is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Any member of the university community violating this policy will be subject to disciplinary action.
- DISABILITIES: The office of Disability Services is located in Evans Hall, room 315 or call (936) 2613585. This office is responsible for achieving and maintaining program accessibility for all students who self-identify as having an officially documented disability (Rehabilitation Act, Section 504 and Americans with Disability Act)If you have a disability, please inform me so that I can assist you to get “reasonable accommodation” related to the disability. ADA Statement: Students with disabilities who believe they may need adjustment in this class are encouraged to contact the Office of Disabilities Services at (936) 261-3585 as soon as possible. Once you receive a letter of adjustment from the office, please make an appointment with instructor to discuss adjustments for this class.
- STUDENT ACADEMIC APPEALS PROCESS: Authority and responsibility for assigning grades to students rest with the faculty. However, in those instances where students believe that miscommunication, errors, or unfairness of any kind may have adversely affected the instructor’s assessment of their academic performance, the student has a right to appeal by the procedure listed in the Undergraduate Catalog and by doing so within thirty days of receiving the grade or experiencing any other problematic academic event that prompted the complaint. All challenges or recalculations of final course grades must be documented by the student with appropriate paperwork and must be brought to the attention of the instructor within the first week following completion of the course. Quiz and examination grades must be contested within the first week following administration of the quiz or examination. After these deadlines, changes will not be considered. Course Time Limits: This is a semester-based course and you must complete all course requirements within the semester that you are enrolled. It is important to schedule your course study to fit into your academicplan. Be aware many instructors are not on campus during the holidays or term breaks, which can delay the return of corrected assignments. Therefore, if you have important deadlines to meet such as graduation, be sure to complete and submit all of your assignments and take the final examination as scheduled. It is your responsibility to ensure the credits for this course will apply toward graduation or certification deadlines.

Netiquette (online etiquette): students are expected to participate in all discussions and virtual classroom chats when directed to do so. Students are to be respectful and courteous to others in the discussions. Foul or abusive language will not be tolerated. When referring to information from books, websites or articles, please use APA standards to reference sources. Students in traditional classes may not need to participate in online discussions.
Technical Support: Students should call the Prairie View A&M University Helpdesk at 936-261-2525 for technical issues with accessing your online course. The helpdesk is available 24 hours a day/7 day a week. For other technical questions regarding your online course, call the Office of Distance Learning at 936-261-3290 or 936-261- 3282
Communication Expectations and Standards: All emails or discussion postings will receive a response from the instructor within 48 hours. You can send email anytime that is convenient to you, but instructor checks email messages throughout the workweek (Monday through Friday). Instructor will respond to email messages during the workweek by the close of business (5:00 pm) on the day following receipt of them. Emails received on Friday will be responded to by the close of business on the following Monday.
Submission of Assignments (through the learning management system): Assignments, Papers, Exercises, and Projects will be distributed and submitted through your online course. Directions for accessing your online course will be provided. Additional assistance can be obtained from the Office of Distance Learning.
Discussion Requirement for online courses: There will be no required face to face meetings on campus (online courses only). However, we will participate in conversations about the readings, lectures, materials, and other aspects of the course in a true seminar fashion. We will accomplish this by use of the discussion board. Students are required to log-on to the course website often to participate in discussion. It is strongly advised that you check the discussion area daily to keep abreast of discussions. When a topic is posted, everyone is required to participate. The exact use of discussion will be determined by the instructor.
It is strongly suggested that students type their discussion postings in a word processing application and save it to their PC or a removable drive before posting to the discussion board. This is important for two reasons: 1) If for some reason your discussion responses are lost in your online course, you will have another copy; 2) Grammatical errors can be greatly minimized by the use of the spell-and-grammar check functions in word processing applications. Once the post(s) have been typed and corrected in the word processing application, it should be copied and pasted to the discussion board.
Taskstream
Taskstream is a tool that Prairie View A&M University uses for assessment purposes. At least one of your assignments is REQUIRED to be submitted as an "artifact,” an item of coursework that serves as evidence that course objectives are met. More information will be provided during the semester, but for general information, you can visit Taskstream via the link in CANVAS.
Group Discussion Forums with Writing Assignments will be uploaded to Taskstream.
