A. Canvas
Canvas is where you can see your assignments, grades, lectures, files, discussion boards, calendar of due dates, and more. Canvas is every student's best friend because this is where students submit their assignments, projects, and exams. It is also an easy way to contact professors and peers with questions or concerns.
B. Proctorio
Proctorio, a remote proctoring service, operates discreetly within your web browser. Its primary function is to vigilantly monitor for any suspicious behavior during tests, thereby ensuring the integrity of your academic performance. Proctorio may be attached to your exams and/or quizzes as you take them online. This software acts as a virtual proctor using your computer's camera and microphone. This allows students to take an exam anywhere, at any time, while still being proctored.
“Proctorio uses AI-powered algorithms to detect suspicious activity such as eye wandering, multiple browser tabs being open, or unusual mouse movements. If any suspicious activity is detected, it will be flagged for review by the instructor,” said Chase Krohn, SUU instructional designer. “It can detect if multiple people are on camera if there is copy/pasting, navigation away from the exam, and a number of other questionable activities.” The vast majority of students have no trouble with Proctorio. It is an easy-to-use system that operates within a student's web browser. To use it, you need only download the Chrome extension to your computer.
C. Modules
The class material is divided into lectures based on chapters. These modules will have a variety of tasks for the student to complete weekly, such as reading applicable articles, watching pre-recorded videos, completing quizzes, assignments regarding the material, etc.
All tasks in modules will be completed and submitted via Canvas except when directed by the instructor to use a different platform. Assignments are highlighted on the class calendar (see the last page of this document). The due dates of the assignment are subject to change. Be on the lookout for announcements from the instructor on any date changes. These include assignments, quizzes, and the diet analysis project. Opening your Canvas from time to time to see the class calendar will ensure that you are kept abreast of the changes to the calendar and due dates.
Please do not use .pages, .gif, .jpeg, .jpg, Google Docs, or pictures for any assignments. These cannot be opened and will not be accepted. Use Microsoft Word or PDF files for all submissions. You can use the free platform (www.docupub.com) or any other free platform of your choice to convert assignments to PDF before submitting them.
D. Professional Email Assignment
As future Professionals, you will communicate with colleagues. Hence, it is pertinent to learn the skill of crafting, sending, and professionally responding to emails. As the first task in this course, you will be required to send a professionally formatted email to the Professor.
The professional email task will be graded, and feedback will be provided based on your email.
E. Diet Analysis Assignment
- a. An aspect of the assignments for this course will be completed via ASA24 and will fall under the Diet Analysis Assignment. This assignment involves keeping a detailed food record and entering all food items and beverages into an electronic system online.
- b. This assignment is divided into 5 different assignments. Each assignment has its own detailed instructions, so please read them in their entirety and complete them on time.
F. Exams
During the final exam period, a comprehensive final exam will be given. The final exam will include comprehensive information on all that has been discussed or learned in previous chapters throughout the class. If, for any reason, an exam cannot be taken at the scheduled time or before the due date, contact the instructor and make alternate arrangements at least one week before the exam. Prior notice is needed for an exam to be made up.
