Academic Honesty
As a student at the University you are expected adhere to the Student Code of Conduct.
According to the UAH Code of Student Conduct (in the UAH Student Handbook), plagiarism can be defined as "the use of any other person's work (such work need not be copyrighted) and the unacknowledged incorporation of that work in one's own work offered in fulfillment of academic requirements." In other words, plagiarism is the use of another's original words or ideas as if they were your own.
Plagiarism is an act of academic dishonesty, which threatens the academic integrity of UAH. If a faculty member suspects a student of plagiarism, he or she can choose to deal with the student within the context of the course, by requiring a revision, giving the student a failing grade, or several other disciplinary options. The faculty member can choose to file a complaint with the Office of Student Conduct, which can result in a hearing by the Student Conduct Board. If the student is found guilty of plagiarism, the Board can choose from a variety of sanctions, including issuing a warning, a censure, educational alternatives, disciplinary probation, disciplinary suspension, and expulsion.
If a student has any questions about plagiarism or citing sources, he or she should not hesitate to talk to a faculty member, the library staff, or visit the UAH library guide on plagiarism, the Purdue Online Writing Lab on avoiding plagiarism, and Plagiarism.org.

Third-Party Software and FERPA
During this course you might have the opportunity to use public online services and/or software applications sometimes called third-party software such as a blog or wiki. While some of these could be required assignments, you need notmake any personally identifying information on a public site. Do not post or provide any private information about yourself or your classmates. Where appropriate you may use a pseudonym or nickname. Some written assignments posted publicly may require personal reflection/comments, but the assignments will not require you to disclose any personally identity-sensitive information. If you have any concerns about this, please contact your instructor.
Technology Statement
Access to and use of certain software tools will be helpful in the completion of course requirements.
Students will be expected to have access to a computer frequently, as all writing assignments used will be typed out and not handwritten. The software you use to write your assignments is irrelevant, as long as you follow my writing guidelines outlined later in my syllabus. I recommend to have access to a computer weekly. You will be expected to have access to the internet and email, since I will be emailing you about assignment updates, additions and changes.
Add information for any tools and software required for your course and how to access them.
Canvas
Canvas is a learning management system (access at canvas.uah.edu and log in with your Charger credentials.) which will be used as a medium for turning in assignments and a forum for communicating with your teammates. Under the "Discussion" section, you will have a designated forum section. My recommendation is to check Canvas every 2-3 days for updates from your classmates or myself.
Panopto
In order to make the best use of class meeting time and to leverage the available technology, recordings of lectures and/or tutorials are available for support during the semester. These recordings will enable to review lectures and reference as study guides. For a more detailed information on how to use the tool, visit Panopto.
Online Learning
Participating in an online course has many benefits like flexibility, convenience, and greater control over your learning experience. The online learning experience also requires organization, self-monitoring, and continuous levels of interaction with other students and your instructor so that you may be successful. Similar to a traditional course, the material will be covered within one semester. Keeping up with lectures and assignments will help you stay motivated and on-task throughout the semester.
Student Resources
The University of Alabama in Huntsville offers a range of student services to enhance the experience of students. An array of academic support services are available in a variety of subjects for students who would like to improve his or her performance. In addition, UAH’s M. Louis Salmon Library provides several methods for students to access and use information. In addition, there are a variety of resources on the Online Learning webpage for students. Online Learning Students my contact the Online Learning Librarian, Seth Porter, for additional support.
