Course Description:
In this course you will work with simulated or real systems with simulated data. As you play the role of
physician using these systems, you will learn what is happening “under the hood.” You will experience
threats to security and appreciate the need for standards, high levels of usability, and how errors can occur.
Each Unit will include the following elements:
· Learning objectives
· Suggested student readings, texts, reference links to sup supplement the narrated and scripted PowerPoint
slides.
· Lectures (narrated and scripted PowerPoint slides)
· Application Activities (may include Discussion Questions, Assignments, Projects) with instructor guidelines
and answer key and/or expected outcomes
· Quiz or Other Assessment reflecting Unit Objectives
· Labs/Simulations (may not be included every week)
· Optional Materials (may include videos, links, tutorials, diagrams/charts, etc.)
To facilitate the best learning opportunity for yourself, I encourage you to explore all of the material provided.
Please notify me via e-mail right away of any of hyperlinks do not work properly or if they do not take you to
the expected document. I try to test them all, but sometimes they slip by.
HI107 – Class Policies
Policies are based on information available on the LCC Website, your Student Orientation Manual and instructor
discretion. Some policies are a direct extension of the Student Code of Conduct (SCC). As such, they are subject to the
same sanctions.
1. WEATHER: Oregon is becoming notorious for unpredictable climate. If you are in doubt as to
school closures. Tune to KLCC 89.7 FM for the latest updates.
2. PROFESSIONALISM: Students are expected to exhibit professionalism at all times while
respecting individuality. Communicating respectfully and openly is a major key to growing
professionally.
3. INTEGRITY: Any proven academic dishonesty will result in an F and expulsion for the class without
exception or explanation. Students witnessing academic dishonesty are asked to immediately report the
act. Please note that Moodle is equipped with a visit log. The instructor can see each time you access (or
don’t) materials via Moodle.
4. ATTENDANCE: This is an online class and communication is critical. It is expected that students
will log into the Moodle class multiple times each week. Weekly assignments. class forums and other
activities are your way of staying connected and for me to be sure you are on task and not having
problems. Working through the content and assignments each week a steady workload and allows time
for questions. Falling behind on assignments should be a red flag to you to devote more time to the
course; if you fall behind it will raise concerns with me
5. COMMUNICATION/EMAILS/NEWS FORUMS: Any questions regarding the class material,
assignments, etc. should be posted on the class forum. I will answer the questions on the forum and
encourage other students to respond if they can. In this way, the class discussion also becomes a
resource for students who may have the same question. Alwalys check the forum first if you do have a
question!
It is the STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY to read all Moodle/email communications. These take the
place of lecture or traditional oral instructions. Failing to read and follow all instructions may have
severe consequences.
6. TECHNOLOGY/MOODLE: This is an online class. Materials are available via Moodle and the
Web. It is the STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE FUNCTIONING INTERNET ACCESS
AND A COMPUTER. However, the course may be completed through any computer with an internet
connection.
Disable all pop-up blockers in your browser. If you are having difficulty accessing or
uploading/downloading material in Moodle, try using another brower.
It is YOUR responsibility to be watching for technological errors. One of the more common
technological errors is that you complete an assignment/quiz and hit SUBMIT ALL AND
FINISH and you think all is good. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to make sure the
assignment uploaded successfully. So to check if all is ok...

After you complete an assignment go to our Moodle home page
Click on either Quizzes or Assignments on the left hand side of the screen under
Activities.
Scroll to the Quiz or Homework you just completed
To the right, under the column heading SUBMITTED you should see the date and time
you completed your work
To the far right, under the column heading GRADE you MUST see either points or a 0
(zero). If you see a dash (-) then there IS A PROBLEM with your upload...contact the
instructor immediately for help! BE CLEAR about what you are having problems with
including the name of the assignment/quiz.
Students must contact the instructor within 24hour of completing an assignment to
report problems…Communication received after 24hours will not be considered for
solutions.
For help with technical issues, it is best to contact the Student Help Desk at SHeD@LaneCC.edu or call
541-463-3333. Alternate resources include friends, family, libraries, campus labs, and (for a fee) FedEx
Kinkos. Failed electronics is NOT a reason/excuse for late assignments/quizzes/tests. (In other
words, don’t leave your work to the very last minute!)
7. EXAMS/QUIZZES: Are conducted via Moodle. ALL exams/quizzes must be completed as
scheduled.
8.
8. ASSIGNMENTS: Materials are available online. Assignments will be uploaded to/completed on
Moodle. Assignments must include the student’s name
9.
9. LATE WORK: . Late assignments will be accepted with a 5% penalty for every 24 hours they
are late. However, all work must be in by Thursday midnight of finals week to be graded. If
emergencies arise which interfere with timely work, you must notify the instructor immediately to make
alternate arrangements.
10.MEDICAL EXCUSES/NOTES: If you are medically incapacitated (that means…COMPLETELY
UNABLE TO PERFORM DUE TO MEDICAL REASONS), a dated note from a physician, hospital or
other medical practitioner will grant you extensions on all assignments, quizzes & exams given during
that time. Notes must be emailed from the healthcare provider’s email account to scottl@lanecc.edu
or be printed on letterhead and must include the beginning and end dates of your inability to work.
Please ask your practitioner to NOT divulge your private medical information…their name,
stationary/email address, and dates of confinement are adequate.
11.EXTRA CREDIT: May be assigned to the whole class, but NEVER an individual student. Extra
credit will NOT be accepted late under any circumstances.
12.LETTERS OF ACCOMODATION: Students with (or expecting) an LOA are asked to meet
with the instructor ASAP and must provide a copy of the letter for the student’s file. Timeliness is key.
Please share your LOA as soon as possible so we can work to meet your needs. Disability Resources
will be contacted as needed.
13.GRADING POLICY:
Grades are determined according to the table below. Excellent performance is rewarded with an “A,” which, by
definition occurs least frequently. Good performance procures a “B” while satisfactory or average
performance receives a “C.” See LCC Procedures & Policies section of the school catalog for more information.
It is your responsibility to discuss your grade & class performance when/if you have questions.
A+ = 95 – 100 %
A = 90 – 94
A- = 86 – 89
B+ = 82 – 85
B = 76 – 81
B- = 71 – 75
C+ = 66 - 70
C = 61 - 65
C- = 56 - 60
D = 51 – 55
F = 50 or below
Grading is straightforward. Each assignment or assessment will be assigned points. The final grade is
based on percentage of points earned by students compared to the total number of points. The Moodle
grade book keeps a running grade based on the total points possible, which often looks terrible. To calculate
your score at any time…
(Your total points to date ÷ Total graded points possible to date) X 100 = Your %
