CLASSROOM CONDUCT: Civility in the classroom is very important. As
professionals, we expect students to conduct themselves in a courteous and
respectful manner. Disruptive, rude, sarcastic, obscene or disrespectful speech or
behavior have a negative impact on everyone, and will not be tolerated. Students
need to remember that the online discussion boards and chat rooms in the online
courses are considered classrooms and the same rules apply. Students will use
these tools in the online classroom for information that pertains to the class; it is
not to be used for personal exchanges of a social nature. If you engage in any such
conduct you will be asked to leave and you will receive a “zero” for any work
completed that day. The instructor reserves the right to permanently remove a
student from the class for inappropriate conduct after consultation with the
Department Coordinator and Academic Dean.
FERPA: Students need to understand that your work may be seen by others.
Others may see your work when being distributed, during group project work, or
if it is chosen for demonstration purposes. Other instructors may also see your
work during the evaluation/feedback process. Students also need to know that
there is a strong possibility that your work may be submitted to other entities for
the purpose of plagiarism checks.
