Expectations:
Cell phones put away
- Come to class on time
- Be prepared - bring your course manual to class
- Read assigned readings in the course manual or textbook prior to class
- Communicate with me if you have issues/concerns - don't suffer unnecessarily
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: Scholastic dishonesty will not be tolerated and will be fully prosecuted. You are expected to have read and understood the current issue of the
Student Handbook (Links to an external site).Links to an external site. published by Student Affairs, regarding student responsibilities and rights, intellectual property policy, information about procedures, and what constitutes acceptable behavior.
All assignments, lab reports, and case studies must be original works created by the individual submitting the assignment, assignments previously submitted are NOT considered original. Assignments that have information cut and pasted from the internet or other sources (such as another student’s work or ChatGPT or another type of generative AI) will not be eligible for credit.
Use of AI is not allowed, and you must demonstrate the knowledge needed to safely apply these concepts and skills in a health and wellness setting. A plagiarism/AI detector tool will be used to guarantee the authenticity of assignment responses.
Lab Reports and Case Studies: It is expected that lab reports/case studies will be written independently and will include citations when and where appropriate. Use of direct quotes is strongly discouraged, even if cited. It is expected that you will interpret scholarly resources and put the information into the context of the assignment. CUTTING AND PASTING FROM THE INTERNET IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, EVEN IF IT IS APPROPRIATELY CITED. PAPERS AND LAB REPORTS THAT HAVE INFORMATION TAKEN VERBATIM FROM ANOTHER SOURCE OR GENERATED USING AI WILL NOT BE GRADED and will incur a score of zero. It is also unacceptable to copy other people’s exams or assignment responses. Even when working in a group, everyone must submit their own responses. No duplicate assignments accepted.
Make-Up Work/Extra Credit: I do not offer individual make-up or extra credit assignments. In general, I do not offer extra-credit, but if an opportunity arises it will be offered to all students.
Attendance policy: Daily attendance is expected, exceptions to the policy will only be made under the following circumstances:
- for school-related activities that are made known to the instructor PRIOR to the date of absence.
- for extreme medical or family emergencies when presented with proper evidence (e.g.,physician note, funeral program) within a week of being absent
- communication provided with the professor and approval for the absence is provided (this will occur on a case-by-case basis)
Students are responsible for obtaining material, announcements, and/or assignments discussed during their absence. If you are over 15 minutes late you will be deemed absent.
Late assignments policy: All assignments, quizzes and exams must be completed at the scheduled time (see tentative schedule & Canvas Calendar for specific due dates & times), unless PRIOR consent is given by the instructor. If you miss class, you will not receive any credit for in-class activities and you will not be allowed to make up any missed activities. Late submissions will not be accepted, any late submissions will receive a grade of zero. Exceptions to this policy will only be made if the student misses:
- for school-related activities that are made known to the instructor PRIOR to the date of absence.
- for extreme medical or family emergencies when presented with proper evidence (e.g., physician note, funeral program) within a week of being absent.
*When citations are required: sources must be cited within the text as well as within a designated reference page at the end of the assignment (when required). Information garnered from textbooks must include an in-text citation
with a page number. Use this for help!
