Video reflection Resources: Online Course Materials LiveText Portfolio University Library Virtual Class Presentations University Website Outside Sites Attendance: Students are expected to attend all class meetings in virtual classrooms via Blackboard (Bb) Collaborate Classroom. The university attendance policy will be followed in the course whereby students missing more than 20% of scheduled virtual class meetings are subject to a failing grade in the course. Should a student miss an exam for a legitimate reason (determined by the instructor), the student should notify the instructor prior to the exam date. If the instructor determines that the absence is legitimate, a make- up exam will be given at a time determined by the instructor. The absence will still count toward the accumulated absence total. Missed exams, reports, projects, and assignments without instructor approval will be assigned a score of 0.It is the responsibility of the student to advise the instructor to change an absence to a tardy. Professional Expectations: Students are responsible for all material covered in class, textbook readings, and assignments due or made during any absence from the virtual class meetings. Due dates for assignments must be adhered to and late assignments may be subject to grade reduction as determined by the instructor. Make- up work is at the discretion of the instructor. Students are expected to exemplify professionalism in dress, demeanor, conduct, and speech. Cell phones and other electronic devices that generate sound MUST be turned off when entering the virtual classroom. Disruption of the virtual class meeting, whether by leaving or entering the classroom at will, inappropriate noise making, or other inconsiderate behavior, will not be tolerated. Bringing children or other unauthorized visitors into the virtual classroom is strongly discouraged and permission from the instructor is required before this action will be permitted. Academic Honesty: The University and College of Education and Professional Studies Policies, including Academic Honesty and Code of Conduct detailed in the JSU Student Handbook will be enforced in this class.
