Word processing and lecture content:Adobe Reader or another software product capable of reading Adobe portable document files format is required.

A word processor capable of saving documents in Microsoft Word 2010, Word 2007 (.docx), Word 2003 (.doc), or Rich Text Format (.rtf) is a requirement.

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTSConnectivity:Students have the option of using the wireless connectivity on campus, but there may not be an option for open lab time to complete projects in these courses.

Hardware Requirements:The requirements for software drive the requirements for hardware in CITG courses. The following are the suggested hardware requirements for successful completion of courses within the CIT curriculum.

1) 2.0GHz or Higher Core 2 Duo processor2) 1GB of RAM, 2GB suggested 3) 120GB Hard Drive, 160GB suggested

CONTACT BY E-MAIL OR TELEPHONEYou MUST use your Purdue email address to contact the instructor . Check your PUC email frequently! If you use any other email address it may be denied silently by SPAM filters at the University. The professor is NOT responsible for lost homework, questions, requests sent from a non-Purdue email address. Email is the preferred method of communication. E-mail assignment submissions (when approved) WILL be as an attachment in Microsoft Word format (or appropriate native program file type). All emails WILL have a subject that contains the Course ID first, then your last and first names, and then the subject/chapter reference (The professor reserves the right to refuse any course work not meeting this requirement). When leaving phone messages repeat your name and return phone number at least once, and speak clearly.

GENERAL COURSE POLICIES1. To comply with university policy, attendance will be taken for this class and a record will be maintained for each

student. The instructor reserves the right to administratively drop students who are excessively absent ( for example 4 absences in a row for lecture only classes, 3 absences in a row for laboratory classes, or two weeks

3

non-participation for distance learning students). Remember, ANY DECISIONS ARE MADE BY THOSE WHO SHOW UP!

2. Absences or being late for a class presentation by an invited guest WILL result in a 5-point reduction per occurrence which will be taken on the following exam.

3. Email the instructor prior to an absence. You will still be responsible for the material covered during the period of time missed.

4. This course will require homework and a student can expect at least one hour of outside course work for every hour of course contact time.

5. Refer to the section on Homework Submission Guidelines for policies pertaining to these assignments.6. Refer to the section on Exam Policies for information pertaining to this subject matter.7. Extra credit is NOT given to make up for missed work, and/or lost points due to non-performance. Opportunities

for extra credit will be included in the exams.8. Lecture material will only be distributed during class. Some lecture materials may be on Blackboard and will be

the student’s responsibility to access and download it.9. Incompletes will be granted only under extenuating circumstances (e.g., severe illness) and under no other

conditions. Where applicable students are expected to complete all lab assignments; unfinished labs are sufficient cause to receive a grade of F on the assignment and/or course.

10. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a scholarly manner while in class. Sleeping, reading newspapers, browsing the Internet, texting, chatting with friends or any other disruptive activities during lecture is not appropriate behavior. Students who conduct themselves in this manner will be asked to leave the class and will earn an unexcused absence for that class.

11. Do not bring friends, pets, children, significant others, or family members to class with you. Class is held for your benefit and the other students in class. Unapproved visitors are considered a disruption and you and your guest will be asked to leave.

12. Food and smoking in any classroom or laboratory is prohibited (University Policy). 13. ALL CELL PHONES, PAGERS, OR ANY OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES MUST BE TURNED OFF OR

PUT ON SILENT DURING CLASS TIME OR LECTURES!!! STUDENTS WHO FAIL TO FOLLOW THIS GUIDELINE WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE AND RECEIVE AN UNEXCUSED ABSENCE.

14. Ethical behavior is an absolute expectation in the prosecution of class assignments and the utilization of knowledge and tools gained through this class. In some cases students may be exposed to activities and/or knowledge that can be used illegally. Such activities will be grounds for a grade of “F” for the course. (See the section on Academic Integrity).

15. Professionalism of students and academic honesty are regarded as essential to being in this course. The expectation is that students will be on time, attend class regularly, turn in homework in a timely manner, respect their peers, and behave appropriately and respectfully. Failure to act in a professional manner will result in the reduction of points from the final grade and or expulsion from the class.

16. Students will only turn in current/new materials and will not reuse, regenerate, or reappropriate homework, papers, and topics, from other classes. Discovery of a paper being used in multiple classes may result in an “F” in one or both classes.

17. Students with disabilities must be registered with the Coordinator of Services for Students with Disabilities in the Student Support Services Office located in the Student Union and Library Building (SUL), Room 341, phone numbers: 219-989-2455, 219-989-2454(voice/TTY) or 219-989-2920 before academic/classroom accommodations can be provided. It is the student’s responsibility to inform the instructor of any special needs before the end of the first week of class by submitting and discussing his/her paperwork issued by Student Support Services.

18. Discussions of assigned material are part of this course. Discussions facilitate learning and may represent testable material. Discussions by students may be taken into account for grading purposes.

19. The instructor reserves the right to change the content/schedule/assignments/lectures of the course at any time during the course.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY (aka “CHEATING”) POLICY (refer to the link on the PUC home page)Purdue University publishes a Student Handbook that defines expected and required student conduct. The handbook specifically describes student misconduct subject to disciplinary penalties. Student misconduct includes: cheating, plagiarism, knowingly furnishing false information to the University, lying, using substitutes for taking examinations, using crib sheets, copying answers; and aiding and abetting, directly or indirectly, other parties in committing dishonest acts.

4

Page 5: PURDUE UNIVERSITY CALUMET - Faculty Senate and …faculty.pnw.edu/senate-calumet/wp-content/uploads/site…  · Web viewA word processor capable of saving documents in Microsoft

Students assume full responsibility for the content and integrity of the academic work they submit. The guiding principle of academic integrity shall be that a student's submitted work, examinations, reports, and projects, must be that of the student's own effort. Students shall be guilty of student misconduct if they:

1. Represent the work of others as their own.2. Use or obtain unauthorized assistance in any academic work.3. Give unauthorized assistance to other students.4. Modify, without instructor approval, an examination, paper, record, or report for the purpose of obtaining additional

credit.5. Misrepresent the content of submitted work.

The penalty for violating the academic dishonesty policy is severe. Any academic dishonesty is subject to disciplinary action including failure in the course and expulsion from Purdue University. All students should possess a copy of the Student Handbook that is available at the Information Center in the SFLC Building and at the Enrollment Services Center in LAWS-130. If a student is unclear about whether a particular situation may constitute academic dishonesty, the student should meet with the instructor to discuss the situation. The student handbook can be found online at the PUC home page (Students link) or directly at http://www.purduecal.edu/studentaffairs/student-handbook.pdf.

For this class, it is permissible to assist classmates in general discussions of computing techniques. General advice and interaction are encouraged. Each person, however, must develop his or her own solutions to the assigned projects, assignments, and tasks. In other words, students may not "work together" on graded assignments. Such collaboration constitutes cheating. A student may not use or copy (by any means) another's work (or portions of it) and represent it as his/her own. If you need help on an assignment, contact your instructor, not other classmates.

HOMEWORK SUBMISSION GUIDELINES1. All homework assignments WILL be typed unless otherwise specified.2. Do not include multiple assignments on the same page(s). Each assignment is a separate item for grading

purposes.3. Include the student full name, class and section number (i.e.: ITS 100-01) and the assignment description (e.g.:

Homework #2, Hands-On #1, etc.) at the top of the page.4. Include the complete question and the appropriate response for each question.5. Multiple page assignments must be in the correct sequence and must be stapled to be accepted. Loss of pages

due to the failure by the student to comply with this requirement is not the responsibility of the instructor.6. To submit the assignment to the instructor, fold each individual assignment length-wise. On the outside at the top

of the folded page(s), include the following information, which can be legibly handwritten:a. Student Full Nameb. ITS 100-01c. Assignment Description (e.g.: Homework #2, Hands-on #1, etc.)

7. Do NOT submit any assignment via Blackboard . Unless otherwise indicated, all assignments will be given to the instructor.

8. Homework assignments are due by the beginning of the class time on the assigned due date unless otherwise notified. It is the student’s responsibility to keep track of dates as per the topic schedule. Under NO circumstances leave assignments with the Secretary in the Department office.

9. Late assignments WILL not be accepted. This includes unsolicited emails of assignments to the instructor in lieu of class attendance. This policy is strictly enforced!

10. E-mailing an assignment to an instructor without instructor approval will mean the assignment will be rejected without comment and a zero grade will be given.

11. Students will not work in groups on assignments. All work is to be done on an individual basis.

EXAM POLICIES1. Exams must be taken during class time per the exam schedule. No make-up exams will be given without prior

approval. Exams over lecture material are not open book. Any student caught cheating will receive a grade of F for the class and recommendation to the Dean of Students’ Office for suspension or expulsion. (See the section on Academic Integrity).

2. Electronic communication devices are banned from the classroom during exams. The utilization of a lap top, pager, cell phone, game system, or any other type electronic communication device without FORMAL WRITTTEN permission by the instructor during an exam will result in a grade of “F” for the exam.

3. A student unable to take an exam during the class time per the exam schedule must notify the instructor in advance of that scheduled date. The student must take the exam before the time it is returned to the class for review, which is generally the next scheduled class time after the exam has been administered.

RESEARCH PAPER REQUIREMENTS:Papers must meet the American Psychological Association (APA) 5 th edition Publication Manual Guidelines. Each student will write at least a five (5) page paper (not counting title page, abstract page, references page, tables, charts, or figures) on a subject chosen from the approved list. Students will write from the stand point of investigating something. NO history, product review, "how to" manuals, etc. will be considered as an acceptable topic for the paper.

Requirements:1. Use the APA style format and do not deviate from this format.

a. 1-inch margins, double-spaced, font and font size, use of footnotes/endnotes, references format, etc.2. Papers are individual work.3. At least three primary references must be cited.4. The course text book is not to be used as a reference (counting towards the total).5. Only one reference can be from the Web, other than from a professional journal, scholarly work, etc. 6. A website like (ACM portal, IEEE xPlore), are acceptable portals to published academic journals that may not

otherwise be available.7. “How stuff works” and Wikipedia on the web are not valid primary references.8. The work should properly cite all material and be original work of the student and course specific. Use

footnotes/endnotes where necessary and include a References page.9. Spelling, punctuation, and grammar will be graded.10. Topic must be a research topic.11. A brief (no more than 1 page) description of the topic and the intent of the paper must be submitted to the

instructor in writing for approval. This will serve as a "contract" between the student and the instructor and will be signed by both. This will be compared to the paper to see if the objectives in the "contract" were met.

12. The paper will end with a conclusion summarizing the topic and a defended position taken by the student.13. Students must include a single page to the paper (at the end after the References page on its own page) that details

a self-assessment of their work, how it met all of the requirements, any issues they have with their own paper, and what they would expect in a grade. Failure to include this will result in a deduction of points from the paper grade. This page does not count toward the required 5 pages for the paper.

14. The paper will be printed single-sided and all requirements will be contained in a single stored file with the following file name lastnamepaper.docx (example: smithpaper.docx)Also, a copy of this file will also be provided to the instructor via e-mail at the same time when turning in the

printedpaper.

Research Paper TopicsThe student will select an appropriate computer technology related topic of his/her choice. If the student cannot find a topic of interest, the instructor may be able to provide some assistance. (Use this option as a last resort to select your topic). However, only a set number of papers for any given topic will be allowed by the instructor. Therefore, submit your description paper as soon as possible, so your topic will be accepted. If the number of papers has been exceeded for a particular topic in the opinion of the instructor, and the student selects that topic after this time, the student must select another topic.

One-to-One Tutoring: These 30-minute sessions focus on you as an individual student writer and your current work. Staffed by graduate and/or undergraduate tutors, these sessions work toward enabling you to overcome difficulties in your writing in ways that will be useful in the session and beyond.

OWL (Online Writing Lab): The PUC OWL is designed to provide most of the services found in the actual Writing Tutorial Lab (WTL). Although face-to-face interactions are usually the best choice, we realize that this is not always possible. In these cases, you are welcome to send drafts and writing questions to the PUC OWL. We will respond within 24 hours. Submitting a draft to the OWL does not count toward the fulfillment of ENGL 007 or 020 requirements.

Workshops: The WTL provides workshops throughout the year that focus on writing topics suggested by faculty, requested by students, and acknowledged by writing tutors as recurrent issues for student writers. Workshops will be focused on issues particular to student writing and will provide participants with both opportunities for discussion and hands-on solutions.

Computer Lab: There are 14 computers available for student use. These computers are comparable to those found in most other PUC computer labs. Other equipment is also available for limited use. Except when meetings or classes are scheduled in the WTL, this lab is open to all PUC students and student writers are given first priority.

Reference Materials: The WTL has many resources available for you to use on site. Some of the resources available are dictionaries, books on documentation and style, creative writing and business writing, and resources for writing resumes, cover letters, and other professional documents.

Play Area for Children: Many students are also parents. The WTL has a small collection of toys and games for young children. While Mom or Dad works with a tutor, children can keep themselves occupied and remain under close parental supervision.
