Tests without webcam will not be authorized under any circumstances. Students without a webcam will have to take the test in-person in the classroom.
Course Policies
Discussion Board
I encourage you to use the discussion board. Due to COVID-19, contact and interaction during class will be limited and I want you to have the chance to talk and get to know each other.
The Discussion Board can also be a great source of helpful information, since you can ask questions and help each other. If you have questions on a topic or even an assignment, ask on the discussion board first.
Communication
Please contact me directly via email. I usually respond the emails within 24 hours during the week.
For questions regarding specific assignments, use the discussion board. I will respond questions posted on the discussion board within 24 hours.
Exam and Assignments Makeup Policy
If you miss a quiz or exam due to Provost-approved university-sponsored activities such as scholarly competitions, fine arts performances, and legally required activities, such as emergency military service and jury duty, you will be given a makeup test per OU guidelines. Otherwise, notification must be made in advance for consideration of a make-up exam. If this is not possible, I require a dated and signed letter from a personwho has observed your situation first hand, such as your doctor, parents, or employer describing why you missed the test and after contacting the individual I will consider your situation. Please note that self-isolating for COVID-19 is not an excused absence, since exams and activities, quizzes, and homework assignments are submitted on Canvas.
Chegg and other online solution providers
In this class, the use of Chegg will be considered academic misconduct and will be reported to the Office of Academic Integrity.
For more details, please see the topic Academic Integrity in the University Academic Policy and Student Support section below.

University Academic Policies and Student Support
Masking Statement for Fall 2020
As outlined by the University of Oklahoma's Chief COVID Officer, until further notice, employees, students, and visitors of the OU community will be mandated to wear masks (1.) when they are inside University facilities and vehicles and (2.) when they are outdoors on campus and social distancing of at least six feet is not possible. For the well-being of the entire university community it is important that everyone demonstrate the appropriate health and safety behaviors outlined in the University Mandatory Masking Policy (https://www.ou.edu/coronavirus/masking-policy). As this mandate includes all campus classrooms, please make sure you are wearing your mask while in class. If you do not have a mask or forgot yours, see the professor for available masks. If you have an exemption from the Mandatory Masking Policy, please see the professor to make accommodations before class begins. If and where possible, please make your professor aware of your exemption and/or accommodation prior to arriving in class.
If a student is unable or unwilling to wear a mask and has not made an accommodation request through the ADRC, they will be instructed to exit the classroom.
Copyright Statement for In-person or Online Courses
Sessions of this course will be recorded and live-streamed. These recordings are the intellectual property of the individual faculty member and may not be shared or reproduced without the explicit, written consent of the faculty member. In addition, privacy rights of others such as students, guest lecturers, and providers of copyrighted material displayed in the recording may be of concern. Students may not share any course recordings with individuals not enrolled in the class, or upload them to any other online environment.
Academic Integrity
Chegg and Other Online Tutoring Sources: There are a wide variety of tutoring resources available through paid websites. Many of these sites have students upload assignments and solutions and surreptitiously provide these documents to other students. What appears to be a session with a tutor may be, behind the scenes, the tutor doing a search of their company database of solutions to share. By using these sites you risk being charged with academic misconduct, either by supplying other students with answers they did not author or by receiving someone else’s answer that you did not author. Since these companies are not open with students about their practices, you cannot know whether a tutor is providing meaningful support (for example, identifying misunderstandings of content and explaining them) or simply feeding you someone else’s solution a bit at a time. The tutor’s actions can result in different students submitting answers that are identical, which may be flagged as academic misconduct during grading. See the table below for specific examples. There is no way to use these sites without risking being charged academic misconduct at this time. These sites cooperate with the OU Office of Academic Integrity to identify students who are using their services to commit academic misconduct.
Example Scenarios:
You use the website to receive help. During the process, the assignment and all or part of your solution are stored on a company computer. The assignment or solution are subsequently delivered by the company to another student that you do not know.
- May Be Charged With Academic Misconduct? Yes
- May be Guilty of Academic Misconduct? No, but you’re going to have to prove it since two students with identical solutions is usually considered good evidence of academic misconduct.
You use the website to receive help. The assignment has already been uploaded, and your tutor provides you with a solution. You submit all or part of this solution as your work.
- May Be Charged With Academic Misconduct? Yes
- May be Guilty of Academic Misconduct? Yes, and you may not even be aware that the tutor was working from someone else’s solution.
In addition to the course conduct policies outlined by in this Course Syllabus, please review the Graduate Student Handbook.
Cheating, plagiarism, or any act of dishonesty will NOT be tolerated. This policy applies to all partiesinvolved in the incident. Never take credit for anyone else’s intellectual property, be it on an exam or homework assignment. This includes, but is not limited to, copying from another student’s paper, copying from a paper from a previous semester, using forbidden information on exams, and copying from publishedwritings. Students are responsible for knowing the requirements of the Academic Misconduct Code, available at http://integrity.ou.edu/.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the most common form of academic misconduct at OU. There is basically no college-level assignment that can be satisfactorily completed by copying. OU's basic assumption about writing is that all written assignments show the student's own understanding in the student's own words. That means all writing assignments, in class or out, are assumed to be composed entirely of words generated (not simply found) by the student, except where words written by someone else are specifically marked as such with proper citation. Including other people's words in your paper is helpful when you do it honestly and correctly. When you don't, it's plagiarism.
For more information about plagiarism, watch this video and then take this short course offered by University Libraries.
Reasonable Accommodation for Disabilities
The University of Oklahoma is committed to providing reasonable accommodation for all students with disabilities. Students with disabilities who require accommodations in this course should contact their professor as early in the semester as possible.
Students with disabilities must be registered with the Disability Resource Center prior to receiving accommodations in this course.
If you have a disability and you would like to make a request for reasonable accommodation, please see the Graduate Student Handbook or get in touch with the Accessibility and Disability Resource Center.
Adjustments for Pregnancy/Childbirth Related Issues
Should you need modifications or adjustments to your course requirements because of documented pregnancy-related or childbirth-related issues, please contact me as soon as possible to discuss your options. Generally, modifications will be made where medically necessary and similar in scope to accommodations based on temporary disability. Learn more about the rights of pregnant and parenting students by consulting the FAQ sheets provided by the Institutional Equity Office.
Title IX Resources
For any concerns regarding gender-based discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, stalking, or intimate partner violence, the University offers a variety of resources, including advocates on-call 24/7, counseling services, mutual no contact orders, scheduling adjustments, and disciplinary sanctions against the perpetrator. Please contact the Sexual Misconduct Office at 405-325-2215 (8-5, M-F) or OU Advocates at 405-615-0013 (24/7) to learn more or to report an incident.
Religious Holidays
It is the policy of the University to excuse absences of students that result from religious observances and to provide for the rescheduling of examinations and additional required classwork that may fall on religious holidays without penalty. It is the responsibility of the student to make alternate arrangements with the instructor at least one week prior to the actual date of the religious holiday.
Copyright Policy
It is illegal to download, upload, reproduce, or distribute any copyrighted material, in any form and in any fashion, without permission from the copyright holder or his/her authorized agent. The University of Oklahoma expects all members of its community to comply fully with federal copyright laws. If such laws appear to have been violated by any user, the university reserves the right (1) to terminate that user’s access to some or all of the university’s computer systems and information resources and (2) to take additional disciplinary actions as deemed necessary or appropriate. Repeat offenders will be sanctioned and their privileges terminated.
Registration and Withdrawal
If you choose to withdraw from this course, you must complete the appropriate University form and turn the form in before the deadline. If you stop attending the course and doing the coursework without doing the required paperwork, your grade will be calculated with missed homework and examination grades entered as zero. This could result in receiving a grade of F in the course. Deadlines are shown in the Academic Calendar, which is available from the Office of the Registrar.
