2The Firefox Release Channel is the fully tested version by Mozilla and intended to be the most stable. This channel is updated roughly every six weeks. More information is available at http://blog.mozilla.com/blog/2011/04/13/new-channels-for-firefox-rapid-releases/.

3The Chrome Stable Channel is the fully tested version by Google and intended to be the most stable as the name implies. This channel is updated roughly every 2-3 weeks for minor releases and 6 weeks for major releases. More information is available at www.chromium.org.

Chrome users who have updated Java on their system to Java 7 will no longer be able to access Java applets – this will result in the loss of some Learn capabilities such as the Math Editor due to the incompatibilities between Chrome and Java 7. At the time of release of SP10/11 Chrome was tested for the ability to render Learn pages pertinent to the core functionality of Learn and as such Chrome was certified. Note that the Math Editor provided in 9.1 SP12 is delivered via JavaScript and is not impacted by the Java 7/Chrome incompatibility.

4Firefox 8 and Mac OS are not compatible with the drag and drop functions on Canvas Learn.

Technologies Not Supported

The following technologies are not supported in SP 11:

 Internet Explorer 6, 7  Firefox 1.x, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, and 3.6  Safari 2.0, 3.x and any version on Windows  Windows XP 64-bit  Mac OSX 10.3, 10.4, 10.5  Java 5, although it may continue to work

Visual Portfolio #s 1, 3, 4 Final Exam

Always use the http://owl.english.purdue.edu for additional help on the MLA format. It has the 2016 MLA updates.

MLA Format Review the MLA format, the critical/analytical writing process and research process Go the http://owl.english.purdue.edu for assistance on the MLA format and grammar techniques Students will practice analytical writing and give constructive feedback to each other through practice writing exercises. Students examine primary and secondary sources, reliable vs. unreliable sources, and how different types of evidence are used in various essays.

Writing Activities (using a research paper format to present conclusions and to provide sufficient supporting details derived from personal experience, from the articles studied in this class, and from library research)

Revision Activities (using feedback from the instructor and classmates to improve, first, content and organization and, finally, grammar and mechanics)

Late Papers: No late assignments will be accepted. Computer problems and printer problems are not valid excuses; do not inform me of them.

Essays: Guidelines will be provided for each major essay. Follow all guidelines and requirements for writing essays closely. Do not write under or over the number of pages that are required for your essay assignments.

All essays are documented using the most recent format of the MLA format. All secondary sources must come from EBSCOhost. In addition, use the MLA format closely. It can be used correctly or incorrectly; there is no medium or mixture of any other formats.

Do not plagiarize any portion of your assignments or essays. Cheating will earn the student an “F.”

Class Discussions: We discuss diverse, controversial topics in this class; however, this does not forward anyone the right to disrespect someone else. We will respect each others’ opinions always during online discussions. Our class discussions are practiced for each of us to learn from one another.

Course Policies and Procedures

1. Threaded Discussions. A Discussion Board is available in Canvas. You will be able to ask questions about course content and share information with each other. A

http://owl.english.purdue.edu/
http://owl.english.purdue.edu/
classmate may be able to answer a question about content more quickly than your instructor. In addition, posting content questions in the Discussion Board will allow everyone to view the answers to frequently asked questions. The instructor monitors the Discussion Board with the intention of providing responses every workday when deemed necessary. Discussion created as assignments deem required contributions to the discussion board. Students are expected to post responses to module questions and peers' postings on a regular basis. Utilize the discussion rubric as it will be used in evaluating your discussion board postings. Discussion board postings should be of quality rather than quantity. For example, a response that basically says “I agree” with no additional information or documentation will earn 0 points; responses that possess a higher standard of quality will be graded accordingly. All discussions are worth 30 points. Ten points for your initial response, and 20 points for responses to your peers.

2. Class Communication. Common procedural or curricular questions that arise each semester are answered on the syllabus. For correspondence to the professor, students are required to use the email address at the beginning of the syllabus to communicate with the instructor, as this is a more instant way to get feedback via the jsu email account provided. You may also use the mail tool, which is located on the Course Tools menu in Canvas, upon logging into the course. The discussion board has several threads available for communicating. Each student is required to participate in the Introduction forum to introduce oneself to the course. A thread is also available for Frequently Asked Questions. Please use this thread to ask questions regarding the syllabus, assignments, exams, etc. The questions and answers can be shared with the entire class. If you have personal concerns, please use the Mail tool. View the Canvas Tutor link on the course homepage for assistance using the mail or discussion board tools.

3. Course E-Mail. Please use the email address provided at the beginning of the syllabus to communicate questions and concerns regarding the course. You may also contact your instructor using the Mail feature in Canvas. Common procedural or curricular questions that arise each semester are answered on the syllabus. If you are unable to find the answers you need, you may contact the instructor via the Canvas Mail tool. If needed, view the Canvas Tutorials for assistance using the Mail tool. Be sure to follow the course netiquette rules mentioned above when composing emails.

4. Late Assignments or Projects.

All assignments are expected to be submitted by the deadline. In the event that you are sick, you must provide an official doctor’s excuse or university excuse to submit work. All modules/assignments have a start date and end date for

accessibility. Students will not be able to submit work in Canvas once the end date has passed.

Netiquette

Student to Student Etiquette. There are course expectations concerning etiquette or how we should treat each other online. It is very important that we consider the following values during online discussions and when emailing fellow students:

 Respect. Each student’s viewpoint is valued as an opinion. When responding to a person during the online discussions, be sure to state an opposing opinion in a diplomatic way.

 Confidentiality. When discussing topics, be sure to be discreet on how you discuss children, teachers, and colleagues. Do not use names of people or names of facilities.

Student to Instructor Etiquette. In addition to the above values, I expect that each student will submit completed assignments in a timely manner.

Instructor to Student Etiquette. Students can expect that the instructor will also follow the values listed above by checking and responding to emails and grading assignments in a timely manner.

Jackson State University Policies

Diversity Statement: Jackson State University is committed to creating a community that affirms and welcomes persons from diverse backgrounds and experiences and supports the realization of their human potential. We recognize that there are differences among groups of people and individuals based on ethnicity, race, socioeconomic status, gender, exceptionalities, language, religion, sexual orientation, and geographical area. All persons are encouraged to respect the individual differences of others.

JSU Honor Code: I will be honest in all of my academic course work and will not indulge in or tolerate the academic dishonesty of my counterparts or peers. I will not partake in any type of misconduct, misrepresentation, or immoral behavior that will harm, damage or endanger any person, property or myself or reflect negatively against me or hinder my academic continuance. I will strive to achieve excellence and to complete degree requirements without hesitation. I am a valuable part of the Jackson State University family, and proud of it.

Academic Dishonesty

Please note that I do read assignments for thoroughness and originality, and I do not condone cheating or plagiarism.

Cheating includes:

 Submitting material that is not yours as part of your course performance, such as copying from another student’s exam, allowing a student to copy from your exam;

 Using information or devices that are not allowed by the faculty; such as using formulas or data from a home computer program, or using unauthorized materials for a take-home exam;

 Obtaining and using unauthorized material, such as a copy of an examination before it is given;

 Fabricating information, such as the data for a lab report;

 Violating procedures prescribed to protect the integrity of an assignment, test, or other evaluation;

 Collaborating with others on assignments without the faculty’s consent;

 Cooperating with or helping another student to cheat;

 Participating in or performing other forms of dishonest behavior, such as having another person take an examination in your place; or altering exam answers and requesting the exam be regarded; or communicating with any person during an exam, other than the exam proctor of faculty.

Plagiarism includes:

 Directly quoting the words of others without using quotation marks or indented format to identify them.

 Using sources of information (published or unpublished) without identifying them.

 Paraphrasing materials or ideas of others without identifying the sources.

 Themes, essays, term papers, tests and other similar requirements that are not the work of the student submitting them.

 When direct quotations are used, they must be indicated and when the ideas of another are incorporated in papers they

 When a student is unsure about something that he/she wants to do or the proper use of materials, a faculty member should be consulted for clarification.

 Generally, if a student writes while looking at a source or while looking at notes taken from a source, a footnote should be given. Whenever any idea is taken from a specific work, even when the student writes the idea entirely in his/her own words, there must be a footnote giving credit to the author responsible for the idea. The student should never retain a sentence pattern and substitute synonyms for the original words. Paraphrasing means alteration of sentence pattern and changing of words. Any direct quotation should be footnoted or documented in an acceptable fashion. Methods of documentation vary, and it is possible to cite in the text itself, rather than in a footnote. The student should give credit in a manner specified by the instructor.

Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act: If you have a disability for which you are or may be requesting an accommodation, you are encouraged to contact both your instructor and ADA Coordinator (as early as possible in the term) located in the Jacob L. Reddix Building (old student union), rooms 101 and 102. The office hours are: 8:00 a. m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The telephone number is (601) 979-3704 or (601) 979-6919 (TTY) and the facsimile number is (601) 979-6918. The mailing address is: Office of Support Services for Students and Employees with Disabilities, P.O. Box 17156, Jackson State University, Jackson, MS 39217.
