POLICIES FOR FRENCH COURSES

1. Policy on assistance with assignments:

It is assumed that students will submit assignments that are the product of their own endeavours.

Students who require specific guidance concerning any part of an assignment should speak to the

professor who has given that assignment. Students should not permit their written work to be

read or corrected by anyone other than the instructor to whom it is to be submitted.

2. Policy on oral presentations:

Each oral presentation must be given on the day on which it is scheduled;

Any student who fails to present on the day on which he/she is scheduled will not receive

credit for that assignment;

Any student who, because of illness or other serious last-minute problem, cannot avoid

being absent on the day when s/he is scheduled to make an oral presentation must inform

the professor as soon as the problem arises;

Any student who anticipates having difficulty in presenting on the day on which s/he is

scheduled should inform his/her professor well in advance, preferably as soon as the date

is announced. If, in the professor’s judgment, the circumstances warrant it, s/he may set a

new date or assign a new topic for another date.

3. Policy on attendance and participation grade:

Class attendance will be recorded regularly. Participation is measured by the amount of

your verbal output and interaction in class. It implies that you ask and answer questions,

volunteer information and observations, have your readings and homework done for

every course, and actively become involved in class discussions. Your participation will

be tracked and evaluated in terms of quality and quantity.

A student in a HALF COURSE may miss 2 hours of class without penalty. Each

subsequent absence beyond the non-penalized two will diminish the participation mark

by 1% if the student does not present proper documentation on medical or non-medical

grounds.

A student in a FULL COURSE may miss 4 hours of class without penalty. Each

subsequent absence beyond the non-penalized four will diminish the participation mark

by 0.5% if the student does not present proper documentation on medical or non-medical

grounds.

Any student who, in the opinion of the instructor, is absent too frequently from class or

laboratory periods in any course will be reported to the Dean (after due warning has been given).

On the recommendation of the Department, and with the permission of the Dean, the student will

be debarred from taking the regular examination in the course.

4. Policy on late assignments:

A penalty of 2% per calendar day will apply to assignments and essays submitted after the

deadline, up to seven days. If the student is unable to meet a deadline for reasons beyond his/her

10

control, s/he should discuss the matter with the professor in advance and be prepared to give

adequate justification.

5. Use of electronic devices in class:

In order for you to succeed in this course, you need to pay attention to the task at hand.

The use of electronic devices for purposes unrelated to the activities of the course (e.g. e-

mail, texting, Facebook, etc.) is not permitted. Please power down your cell phone

when the course starts.

Likewise, the use of laptops, netbooks, iPads, etc. is discouraged unless the lesson calls

for it, if your device is part of a learning accommodation, or if your copy of the textbook

is electronic. Please see the instructor if you have any concerns. Any misuse of

technology will negatively affect your learning and your participation grade.

Appendix to Course Outlines Prerequisite Information Students are responsible for ensuring that they have successfully completed all course prerequisites. Unless you have either the requisites for this course or written special permission from your Dean to enrol in it, you may be removed from this course and it will be deleted from your record. This decision may not be appealed. You will receive no adjustment to your fees in the event that you are dropped from a course for failing to have the necessary prerequisites. Conduct of Students in Classes, Lectures, and Seminars Membership in the community of Huron University College and the University of Western Ontario implies acceptance by every student of the principle of respect for the rights, responsibilities, dignity and well-being of others and a readiness to support an environment conducive to the intellectual and personal growth of all who study, work and live within it. Upon registration, students assume the responsibilities that such registration entails. The academic and social privileges granted to each student are conditional upon the fulfillment of these responsibilities. In the classroom, students are expected to behave in a manner that supports the learning environment of others. Students can avoid any unnecessary disruption of the class by arriving in sufficient time to be seated and ready for the start of the class, by remaining silent while the professor is speaking or another student has the floor, and by taking care of personal needs prior to the start of class. If a student is late, or knows that he/she will have to leave class early, be courteous: sit in an aisle seat and enter and leave quietly. Please see the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities at: http://www.huronuc.ca/CurrentStudents/StudentLifeandSupportServices/StudentDiscipline Technology It is not appropriate to use technology (such as, but not limited to, laptops, PDAs, cell phones) in the classroom for non-classroom activities. Such activity is disruptive and is distracting to other students and to the instructor, and can inhibit learning. Students are expected to respect the classroom environment and to refrain from inappropriate use of technology and other electronic devices in class. Academic Accommodation for Medical/Non-Medical Grounds For UWO Policy on Accommodation for Medical Illness and a downloadable SMC see: http://www.uwo.ca/univsec/pdf/academic_policies/appeals/accommodation_medical.pdf [downloadable Student Medical Certificate (SMC): https://studentservices.uwo.ca/secure/index.cfm under the Medical Documentation heading]

11

Students seeking academic accommodation on medical grounds for any missed tests, exams, participation components and/or assignments worth 10% or more of their final grade must apply to the Academic Counselling office of their home Faculty and provide documentation. Academic accommodation will be determined by the Dean’s Office in consultation with the instructor. For non-medical grounds or for medical grounds when work represents less than 10% of the overall grade

for the course, the student must submit a request to the instructor in writing

prior to the due date of an assignment, and immediately in the case of a test. (Or as soon as possible

following a medical emergency) Students are protected under the Official Student Record Information

Privacy Policy and so written requests need only include a broad and general explanation of the situation,

and the approximate length of time required. At the discretion of the instructor, the granting of extensions

and re-scheduled tests may require the student to submit supporting either

medical or non-medical documentation to the Academic Counsellor, who will then make the

determination as to whether accommodation is warranted.

Statement on Academic Offences

Scholastic offences are taken seriously and students are directed to read the appropriate policy,

specifically, the definition of what constitutes a Scholastic Offence, at the following Web site:

http://www.uwo.ca/univsec/pdf/academic_policies/appeals/scholastic_discipline_undergrad.pdf

Statement on Academic Integrity The International Centre for Academic Integrity defines academic integrity as "a commitment, even in the face of adversity, to five fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. From these values flow principles of behaviour that enable academic communities to translate ideals to action." (CAI Fundamental Values Project, 1999). A lack of academic integrity is indicated by such behaviours as the following: Cheating on tests; Fraudulent submissions online; Plagiarism in papers submitted (including failure to cite and piecing

together unattributed sources); Unauthorized resubmission of course work to a different course; Helping someone else cheat; Unauthorized collaboration; Fabrication of results or sources; Purchasing work and representing it as one’s own. Academic Integrity: Importance and Impact Being at university means engaging with a variety of communities in the pursuit and sharing of knowledge and understanding in ways that are clear, respectful, efficient, and productive. University communities have established norms of academic integrity to ensure responsible, honest, and ethical behavior in the academic work of the university, which is best done when sources of ideas are properly and fully acknowledged and when responsibility for ideas is fully and accurately represented. In the academic sphere, unacknowledged use of another’s work or ideas is not only an offence against the community of scholars and an obstacle to academic productivity. It may also be understood as fraud and may constitute an infringement of legal copyright. A university is a place for fulfilling one's potential and challenging oneself, and this means rising to challenges rather than finding ways around them. The achievements in an individual’s university studies can only be fairly evaluated quantitatively through true and honest representation of the actual learning done by the student. Equity in assessment for all students is ensured through fair representation of the efforts by each.

12

Acting with integrity at university constitutes a good set of practices for maintaining integrity in later life. Offences against academic integrity are therefore taken very seriously as part of the university’s work in preparing students to serve, lead, and innovate in the world at large. A university degree is a significant investment of an individual’s, and the public’s, time, energies, and resources in the future, and habits of academic integrity protect that investment by preserving the university’s reputation and ensuring public confidence in higher education. Students found guilty of plagiarism will suffer consequences ranging from a grade reduction to failure in the course to expulsion from the university. In addition, a formal letter documenting the offence will be filed in the Dean’s Office, and this record of the offence will be retained in the Dean’s Office for the duration of the student’s academic career at Huron University College. All required papers may be subject to submission for textual similarity review to the commercial plagiarism detection software under license to the University for the detection of plagiarism. All papers submitted for such checking will be included as source documents in the reference database for the purpose of detecting plagiarism of papers subsequently submitted to the system. Use of the service is subject to the licensing agreement, currently between The University of Western Ontario and Turnitin.com. Computer-marked multiple-choice tests and/or exams may be subject to submission for similarity review by software that will check for unusual coincidences in answer patterns that may indicate cheating. Personal Response Systems (“clickers”) may be used in some classes. If clickers are to be used in a class, it is the responsibility of the student to ensure that the device is activated and functional. Students must see their instructor if they have any concerns about whether the clicker is malfunctioning. Students must use only their own clicker. If clicker records are used to compute a portion of the course grade:

the use of somebody else’s clicker in class constitutes a scholastic offence, the possession of a clicker belonging to another student will be interpreted as an attempt to

commit a scholastic offence. Policy on Special Needs Students who require special accommodation for tests and/or other course components must make the appropriate arrangements with the Student Development Centre (SDC). Further details concerning policies and procedures may be found at: http://www.sdc.uwo.ca/ssd/?requesting_acc Attendance Regulations for Examinations A student is entitled to be examined in courses in which registration is maintained, subject to the following limitations: 1) A student may be debarred from writing the final examination for failure to maintain satisfactory academic standing throughout the year. 2) Any student who, in the opinion of the instructor, is absent too frequently from class or laboratory periods in any course will be reported to the Dean of the Faculty offering the course (after due warning has been given). On the recommendation of the Department concerned, and with the permission of the Dean of that Faculty, the student will be debarred from taking the regular examination in the course. The Dean of the Faculty offering the course will communicate that decision to the Dean of the Faculty of registration. Class Cancellations In the event of a cancellation of class, every effort will be made to post that information on the Huron website, http://www.huronuc.ca/AccessibilityInfo (“Class Cancellations”). Accessibility Huron University College strives at all times to provide its goods and services in a way that respects the

13

dignity and independence of people with disabilities. We are also committed to giving people with disabilities the same opportunity to access our goods and services and allowing them to benefit from the same services, in the same place as, and in a similar way to, other customers. We welcome your feedback about accessibility at Huron. Information about how to provide feedback is available at: http://www.huronuc.ca/AccessibilityInfo Mental Health @ Western
