- Attendance Policy: Course Attendance at First Class Meeting – Policy for Graduate Students: For structured courses, 6000 and above, the College/Campus Dean will set the first-day class attendance requirement. Check with the College for specific information. This policy is not applicable to courses in the following categories: Educational Outreach, Open University (TV), FEEDS Program, Community Experiential Learning (CEL), Cooperative Education Training, and courses that do not have regularly scheduled meeting days/times (such as, directed reading/research or study, individual research, thesis, dissertation, internship, practica, etc.). Students are responsible for dropping undesired courses in these categories by the 5th day of classes to avoid fee liability and academic penalty. (See USF Regulation – Registration - 4.0101,
http://usfweb2.usf.edu/usfgc/ogc%20web/currentreg.htm)
Attendance Policy for the Observance of Religious Days by Students: In accordance with Sections 1006.53 and 1001.74(10)(g) Florida Statutes and Board of Governors Regulation 6C-6.0115, the University of South Florida (University/USF) has established the following policy regarding religious observances: (http://usfweb2.usf.edu/usfgc/gc_pp/acadaf/gc10-045.htm)
In the event of an emergency, it may be necessary for USF to suspend normal operations. During this time, USF may opt to continue delivery of instruction through methods that include but are not limited to: Blackboard, Elluminate, Skype, and email messaging and/or an alternate schedule. It’s the responsibility of the student to monitor Blackboard site for each class for course specific communication, and the main USF, College, and department websites, emails, and MoBull messages for important general information.
Students are allowed to miss up to 2 class meetings without penalty. Each absence beyond 2 will result in a reduction of 2% from the final grade.
Regarding observance of religious holidays: All students have a right to expect that the University will reasonably accommodate their religious observances, practices, and beliefs. Students are expected to notify the instructor in writing by the second class if they intend to be absent for a class or announced examination, in accordance with university policy.
- Policy on Make-up Work: “Plagiarism is defined as "literary theft" and consists of the unattributed quotation of the exact
words of a published text or the unattributed borrowing of original ideas by paraphrase from a
published text. On written papers for which the student employs information gathered from
books, articles, or oral sources, each direct quotation, as well as ideas and facts that are not
generally known to the public-at-large, must be attributed to its author by means of the
appropriate citation procedure. Citations may be made in footnotes or within the body of the text.
Plagiarism also consists of passing off as one's own, segments or the total of another person's
work.”
“Punishment for academic dishonesty will depend on the seriousness of the offense and may
include receipt of an "F" with a numerical value of zero on the item submitted, and the "F" shall
be used to determine the final course grade. It is the option of the instructor to assign the student
a grade of "F" of "FF" (the latter indicating dishonesty) in the course.”
All students are expected to complete assignments according to the provided schedule and any work to be completed/submitted after the provided schedule must be approved in advance or the work will receive no academic credit.
- Program This Course Supports: It is expected that this course would enroll approximately 15-20 students each time it is delivered. This course will be included in a menu of courses from which students will develop their Program of Study. It is expected that at least 2/3 of all Exercis
