Graduate Course Proposal Form Submission Detail - ATR6610

(password required)

Current Status: -
Campus: Tampa
Submission Type: Change
Course Change Information (for course changes only): The course was inadvertently presented as a 2 credit course, but was designed and approved all through the process (USF Graduate Curriculum Committee and MCOM Curriculum Committee) as a 3 credit course. We would like to formally change it from the present 2 credits to the requested 3 credits. This was simply an oversight in the process. We simultaneously presented 22 new courses for approval and the mistake simply fell through the cracks.

  36. 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.

  37. Policy on Make-up Work: Make up of missed work will be permitted, but points will be

    taken off for turning in work after the due date. No work will be

    accepted two weeks past its original due date and all course

    work must be turned in by the last day of class to receive credit.

    Academic Dishonesty:

    (USF POLICY)

    Each individual is expected to earn his/her degree on the basis

    of personal effort. Any form of cheating on examinations or

    plagiarism on assigned papers constitutes unacceptable deceit

    and dishonesty. 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 know 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 or FF (the

    latter indicating dishonesty) in the course.

    Detection of Plagiarism:

    The University of South Florida has an account with an

    automated plagiarism detection service, which allows instructors

    to submit student assignments to be checked for plagiarism. I

    reserve the right to 1) request that assignments be submitted to

    me as electronic files and 2) electronically submit assignments to

    Turnitin.com. Assignments are compared automatically with a

    huge database of journal articles, web articles, and previously

    submitted papers. The instructor receives a report showing

    exactly how a student's paper was plagiarized.
