INTERNET COURSES:
In an Internet course, students do not attend class in person. This does not mean that students
are not communicating on a weekly basis. This is not an electronic correspondence course where
you are allowed to set your own pace. We have target dates that have to be met in order to
receive credit. Each week there will be chapter readings and I have presented my lecture notes for
assistance. If you are not prepared to participate in such activities on a weekly basis you should
consider taking this course from another instructor. I have attempted to structure this course to
foster a sense of community and to make this course a rewarding experience for students who are
willing to participate in intellectual stimulating activities. Your progress in the course will depend
on your participation to assigned tasks in a timely fashion

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES IN ONLINE COURSES
Many students find the student responsibilities and expectations for online courses to be different
from student responsibilities and expectations for on-campus courses. Not all students are willing
or able to accept these responsibilities.
Page 2
The following statements identify your responsibilities in this course. If you are not able
to agree to all of the statements, perhaps you should re-consider taking this course in an online
format.
1. I will ask questions directly and immediately if I do not understand the instructions or due
dates for an assignment.
2. I will organize my time in a way that allows me to thoughtfully and thoroughly complete
assignments.
3. I will be responsible for keeping up with when assignments are due and submitting them on
time or before they are due.
4. I understand that technical problems related to computer connections or equipment cannot
be used as an excuse for failure to complete assignments or to participate online. I will
locate the computer hardware, software and Internet connections necessary to stay
connected and current with my course work online. I am aware of alternate Internet
connections available through the college’s computer labs, the colleges library, the public
library, and any friends, relatives, or neighbors and will access them if my personal
computer equipment is not working.
5. I understand that technical problems with Blackboard require that I contact Client Services
at 918-595-2000 for technical support.
6. I will fully participate in online discussion by reading and responding respectfully to my
classmates and instructor. I understand that participation is a requirement of this course
and that it counts toward my grade.
7. I agree to check into our online classroom at least 3-5 days per week and understand that I
am expected to be working online a minimum of 6-8 hours per week.

***See dates below in course schedule
Test Format:
All tests must be completed during the allotted dates. If a test is not
completed during the posted date above, a score of zero will be
awarded. There is a one week window for tests to be completed, so
no makes-ups will be allowed. Do not wait to the last minute to take
the test in case of Blackboard malfunctions.
You are also allotted a 30 minute time limit. For every 1 minutes
beyond the allotted time, 1 points will be deducted from your total
score. For example: 1 minute equals 1 point, 2 minutes equals 2
points, and so on. After 15 minutes beyond the time limit, a zero will
be awarded.
When taking a test and get “knocked off” the system, relog in and
continue with the test. Do not stop taking the test for any reason,
because your time is still counting in the system. So be prepared for
the test, eliminating any potential distractions during the test.
If a test needs to be reset, you will only be allotted 1 reset. A reset
can not be used for a make-up. None beyond the 1 allotted. I
recommend that you save each question as you test or every few
Page 4
questions. If not and you get “knocked off” the Blackboard sit, you
will have to start from the last question saved. In worst case
scenario, could have to start over at question 1.
It is not recommended to take the test on a dial-up network. If you
are on a dial-up network, I recommend that you take your test at
any of the Tulsa Community College Computer Labs. Dial-ups are
slow and may extend beyond your time limit.
2. Discussion Board/Forum: After students have read the assigned readings for the
current week, viewed each lecture for the week, the student will then participate in the
weekly discussion board activity. I will post questions and students will respond to the
question with an articulate answer. Students will also have to respond to a minimum of
four postings by classmates on the discussion board for that week. The maximum score for
a discussion board assignment is 120 points. We will have 12 discussions, each worth 10
points. Please note a response that merely lists the wording presented in a lecture (i.e.,
copy and paste) without evidence of critical thinking will not receive a passing grade for the
assignment. Each discussion board assignment will have a listed due date. Students who
do not respond to the discussion board assignment prior to the due date will receive a zero
point assessment for that assignment. The breakdown is as follows:
Total Posts: 5
Worth: 10 points
Total Posts: 4
Worth: 8 points
Total Posts: 3
Worth: 6 points
Total Posts: 2
Worth: 4 points
Total Posts: 1

3. Assignments: Each assignment will be described in the unit it represents. Assignments
will have due dates associated with each Unit. You can work ahead within the unit and
submit them early.

LATE ASSIGNMENTS AND MAKE-UP WORK:
All decisions regarding this course are at the discretion of the instructor and are not subject for
debate.

Students will not be permitted to make-up any missed exams, discussion boards, and
assignments.

Late work will not be accepted or tolerated.

If an assignment is submitted, but not completed correctly, a student will have 3 days to
complete the assignment correctly or a zero will be scored.

Course Withdrawal : The deadline to withdraw from a course shall not exceed 3/4 the
duration of any class. Check the TCC Academic Calendar for the deadline that applies to
the course(s). Begin the process with a discussion with the faculty member assigned to
Page 5
the course. Contact the Advisement Office at any TCC campus to initiate withdrawal
from a course ('W' grade) or to change from Credit to Audit. Withdrawal and/or change
to an audit from a course after the drop/add period can alter the financial aid award for
the current and future semesters. Students may receive an outstanding bill from TCC if
the recalculation leaves a balance due to TCC. Students who stop participating in the
course and fail to withdraw may receive a course grade of “F,” which may have financial
aid consequences for the student .
COMMUNICATIONS:
Email: All TCC students receive a designated Outlook email address (ex:
jane.doe@tulsacc.edu). All communications to you about TCC and course
assignments will be sent to your Outlook email address; and you must use Outlook email
to send email to, and receive email from, the instructor regarding this course.
Inclement Weather: TCC rarely closes. If extreme weather conditions or emergency
situations arise; TCC always gives cancellation notices to radio and television stations.
This information is also posted on the TCC website (www.tulsacc.edu).
GENERAL EDUCATION GOALS:
General Education courses at TCC ensure that our graduates gain skills, knowledge, and abilities
that comprise a common foundation for their higher education and a backdrop for their work and
personal lives. TCC’s General Education goals are: Critical Thinking, Effective Communication,
Engaged Learning, and Technological Proficiency.
CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE:
Open and mutually respectful communication of varied opinions, beliefs, and perspectives during
classroom or online discussion encourages the free exchange of ideas that is essential to higher
learning and to the ability to learn from each other. Use of any electronic device is at the
discretion of the instructor.
I assume every student is a mature individual who will interact with others in a mature fashion.
Students are required to respond to other students postings on the course discussion board. Such
responses must concern the ideas presented. Comments should encourage intellectual dialog and
critical thinking. All comments should be respectful of other individuals. Students are also
encouraged to e-mail me and each other about topics related to the course. I will attempt to
answer e-mail within 24 hours of receipt of the email.
Students should refrain from actions that are disruptive to the learning environment. Comments
about the author’s demographic background or I.Q. would be examples of FLAMMING. Such
comments are inappropriate and will not be tolerated.
Students who are disruptive will be informed of their unacceptable behavior and the student will
have to acknowledge that such behavior was inappropriate. If a student is disruptive a second
time the student will be required to meet with me in person concerning the disruption of the class
and the student may be permanently dismissed from the course.
SYLLABUS CHANGES:
Occasionally, changes to the syllabus may be necessary. Students will be notified of any changes
to the syllabus in writing.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY:
Academic dishonesty (cheating) is defined as the deception of others about one’s own work or
about the work of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at
campuses within the Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa Community College adopts a policy
delegating certain forms of authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such disciplinary actions
delegated to the faculty include, but are not limited to, the dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly
students from classes. In the case of academic dishonesty a faculty member may:




Require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a
substitute assignment or test;
Record a "zero" for the assignment or test in question;
Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively
withdraw the student from the class;
Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester. Faculty may request
that disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level by
submitting such a request to the Dean of Student Services.
INSTITUTIONAL STATEMENT: Each student is responsible for being aware of the
information contained in the TCC Catalog, the TCC Student Policies & Resources Handbook,
