1 CSP Microsoft Office Professional III (Web) Course Description: This course is a continuation of CSP It is designed to further develop skills in Microsoft Office applications of Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint and the integration of these programs. Prerequisite: CSP 2203 Instructor: Doug Stockley Office A-326 Phone: 815/ doug_stockley@ivcc.edu Textbook: Custom Text from Pearson-Prentice Hall. Custom Text from Adobe Press Myitlab access code Note you may enroll in Myitlab Courses under an old access code as long as it has not expired. The Myitlab course enrollment code will be posted in BlackBoard announcements Additional Materials: Students will need to have access to a computer with Microsoft Office 2010 Professional (Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint) and web and access. Also, students will need to supply their own media to store their working and finished files. It is strongly recommended that all files be stored for the duration of the course. Attendance: Since this is a web course, daily attendance will not be taken. However, regular class participation is important and expected for successful completion of this course. On or before the 10 th day of the course (01/24/12) you need to submit homework in order for me to verify that you are attending. Half of the coursework (assignments, quizzes and exams) is due by midterm (03/05/12). The remainder of the coursework is due by 05/07/12. It is your responsibility to keep me informed about your progress and your intent to complete the course. Communication from you to the instructor by or other means should occur on a weekly basis. Lack of communication will be considered a failure to participate in the course and you may be withdrawn or your course grade may be lowered. Cheating: Plagiarism: Policies regarding cheating may be found under the heading of Academic Integrity in the IVCC Student Handbook. Students should become familiar with these policies and abide by them. According to Webster, to plagiarize is to steal or pass off the ideas or words of another as one s own to use created productions without crediting the source to commit literary theft to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.

2 Students are responsible for authenticating any assignment submitted to an instructor. If asked, you must be able to produce proof that the assignment you submit is actually your own work. Therefore, we recommend that you engage in a verifiable working process on assignments. Keep copies of all drafts of your work, make photocopies of research materials, write summaries or research materials, keep logs or journals of your work on assignments and papers, learn to save drafts or versions of assignments under individual file names on computer diskette, etc. The inability to authenticate your work, should an instructor request it, is a sufficient ground for failing the assignment. Also, instructors may employ various other means of ascertaining authenticity such as engaging in Internet searches, creating quizzes based on student work, requiring students to explain their work and/or process orally, etc. Withdrawal: The instructor or the student may initiate a withdrawal up to the final withdraw date. The last date for a student to withdraw is 04/09/12. Students may initiate a withdrawal from classes by talking with their instructor, completing the form in the Records Office or through the form located within WebAdvisor. The college has the right to rescind a withdrawal in cases of academic dishonesty or at the instructor s discretion. Failure of the student taking the initiative to withdraw will lead to the assignment of a letter grade at the conclusion of the course. Note: Students should be aware of the impact of a withdrawal on full-time status for insurance purposes and for financial aid. It is highly recommended that students meet with their instructor or with a counselor before withdrawing from a class to discuss if a withdrawal is the best course of action for that particular student. (Please note the Attendance Policy for this course and its connections to this Withdraw Policy) Incompletes: A temporary grade of Incomplete may be issued at the end of the course only in cases where the instructor determines that extenuating circumstances exist and a majority of the coursework has been completed. Course requirements must be completed before the end of the following semester and a letter grade assigned or the temporary grade of Incomplete will change to a permanent grade of F. Disabilities: Grades: If you are a student with a cognitive, physical or psychiatric disability you may be eligible for academic support services such as extended test time, texts on tape, note taking services, etc...if you are interested in learning whether you qualify for academic support services, please contact the Special Populations Office at either by phone at: , , by at: tina_hardy@ivcc.edu or by stopping by office B-204. Final grades will be assigned based upon the student s accumulated points. Points will be awarded for exams, quizzes, and assignments using the factors of completeness, timeliness and accuracy. Letter grades equate to the following scale: A 100% - 90% B 89% - 80% C 79% - 70% D 69% - 60% F Below 60% Page - 2 Revised 01/10/2012

3 Assignments: When submitting work by you should indicate your name (first and last along with the chapter and other appropriate labeling to easily identify each assignment. Use the file name(s) indicated by the book. Any work not labeled appropriately will be returned for re-labeling. Note All files (Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint) should have your (first and last name) listed as the author. In Word, click on the File Tab. This will open the Backstage view (Info Tab) and allow you to fill in your name as the author. Perform similar steps when working with Excel, Access, and PowerPoint files. Note - When attaching multiple files to s, place them in one zipped file using the Windows (XP, Vista, or 7) compression (zip) utility. A zipped file may contain multiple files and folders. Note Since this is a web based course I will not be viewing any printouts. When working on chapter projects and assessments you will need to save your work to a file each time you are instructed to print. Schedule: Week 1 This course lasts approximately 16 weeks. I have provided an outline that allows you to finish all of the assignments in a 16 week format but you may work ahead. Please note the midterm and end of course dates for submitting your work.
