Policies: (specific to instructor)
·
Electronic devices may be used in class as long
as they are used for relevant class purposes. Improper usage may result in the
loss of this privilege.
·
There will be 2 major tests, a comprehensive
final, some individual homework, and a team project. A student is responsible
for any material and announcements that he/she might miss. The class web
site will be the primary source of information for the class.
·
Some assignments will be individual assignments.
You are encouraged to discuss assignments with other students as long as the
following rules are followed:
o
You may provide assistance on how to use any of
the software used by this course.
o
You view another student's work only for the
purpose of offering assistance. Students can only give advice on what to look
for - they cannot change your work for you. All changes to your work must be
made by you.
o
Your discussion is subject to the empty hands
policy which means that you leave the discussion without any record (electronic
or physical) of the discussion.
|
|
|
Diversity
Statement:
All courses offered by the Computer Science and Information Systems
department will adhere to the KSU policy that prohibits discrimination on the
basis of race, religion, color, sex, age, disability, national origin, or
sexual orientation.
|
|
Withdrawal
Policy:
The last day to withdraw without academic penalty is October
11. Ceasing to attend class or oral notice thereof DOES NOT
constitute official withdrawal from the course. Students who simply stop
attending classes without officially withdrawing usually are assigned failing
grades. Students wishing to withdraw after the scheduled change period
(add/drop) must obtain and complete a withdrawal form from the Academic
Services Department in the Registrar's Office.
A
new University Withdrawal policy is in effect Fall semester, 2004. Below is
an excerpt from the catalog. For further details, please refer to Academic
Policies at
http://www.kennesaw.edu/academicaffairs/acadpubs/ucat2004-05/i.acadpolicies.pdf
, page 42 or the 2004-2005 printed catalog.
"Students
may withdraw from one or more courses anytime before the last three weeks of
the semester. However, as of fall 2004, students will be allowed a maximum of
eight total withdrawals if they enter KSU as a freshman. Transfer students
will be allowed one withdrawal per fifteen credit hours attempted, for a
maximum of eight. Students who choose to pursue a second degree at KSU will
be allowed two additional withdrawals. Students who entered KSU before the
fall of 2004 will be allowed one withdrawal per fifteen credit hours
attempted for a maximum of eight after the institution of this policy. To
withdraw they should complete an official withdrawal form in the Office of
the Registrar. Students who officially withdraw from courses before
mid-semester will receive a "W" in those courses and receive no
credit. "
|
|
Email
Policy:
The instructor guarantees replies to emails received from your Kennesaw email
account (netid@students.kennesaw.edu) and mail messages sent through your
specific WebCT course (http://courses.kennesaw.edu). Emails sent from other
email domains may not reach the instructor's mailbox. In order to ensure
receipt/responses to your email be sure that you communicate with the
instructor via your Kennesaw email account or via WebCT
|
|
Enrollment
Policy:
Only those students who are enrolled in the class may attend lectures,
receive assignments, take quizzes and exams, and receive a grade in the
class. If a student is administratively withdrawn from this course, they will
not be permitted to attend class nor will they receive any grade for the
class.
|
|
Electronic
Devices
In order to minimize the level of distraction, all beepers and cellular
phones must be on quiet mode during class meeting times. Students who wish to
use a computer/PDA for note taking need prior approval of the instructor
since key clicks and other noises can distract other students. Recording of
lectures by any method requires prior approval of the instructor. Students
using a laptop in class should not check their email, browse the web, or in
other way detract from the focus of the class.
|
|
Classroom
Behavior
Students are reminded to conduct themselves in accordance with the Student
Code of Conduct, as published in the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs.
Every KSU student is responsible for upholding the provision. For more
details, visit
http://ww.kennesaw.edu/academicaffairs/acadpubs/ucat2003-04/x.genpolicies%20.pdf
. Students who are in violation of this policy will be asked to leave the
classroom and may be subject to disciplinary action by the University.

Student Email and Web Account Access:
|
KSU
uses a central authentication server that will allow one username and
password to be used by all KSU users to access an increasing variety of
applications (email, WebCT etc.) This unified network identification is
referred to as your "NetID". The source for university-provided
email and web space for students is located at http://students.kennesaw.edu .
Students have access to this system once they have established their NetID.
This system will provide email service through a web based interface, FTP and
SFTP.
|
|
How
to Activate your NetID:
To activate your NetID go to http://netid.kennesaw.edu and click on the
"Sign up Now!" link. You will be asked to provide information to
verify your identity and set your password. This password will only be for
NetID enabled applications.
|
|
How
to Look Up a NetID:
After you have activated your NetID, you can look up other users by logging
into http://netid.kennesaw.edu and
clicking on Directory Search.
|
|
How
to Send Email:
For student email, your NetID in combination with the new email address would
look like netid@students.kennesaw.edu .
|
|
Web
Address:
For student web address, your NETID in combination with the new server
address would look like http://students.kennesaw.edu/~netid.
If
you have problems please call the Service Desk at ext. 6999 or e-mail service@kennesaw.edu .

Student Course Evaluation:
|
A
standard questionnaire (described below) will be administered during the last
two weeks of the semester in all classes. Additional questions developed by
the college or instructor(s) may be included as well. It is important that
each student provide meaningful feedback to the instructor(s) so that changes
can be made in the course to continually improve its effectiveness. We value
student feedback about the course, our teaching styles, and course materials,
so as to improve our teaching and your learning. At a minimum, the following
two questions will be asked: 1) Identify the aspects of the course that most
contributed to your learning (include examples of specific materials,
exercises and/or the faculty member's approach to teaching and mentoring),
and 2) Identify the aspects of the course, if any, that might be improved
(include examples of specific materials, exercises and/or the faculty
member's approach to teaching and mentoring).

Acquiring Final Grades:
|
The
final grades for this course will be posted to the student's permanent record
using the KSU Banner system. Students may acquire their final grades by
accessing their Banner account online. Grades are no longer mailed to
students. Students needing verification of grades or enrollment should
request either an official transcript or an enrollment verification through
the Office of the Registrar.

Academic Integrity Statement:
|
Every
KSU student is responsible for upholding the provisions of the Student Code
of Conduct, as published in the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs. Section
II of the Student Code of Conduct addresses the University's policy on
academic honesty, including provisions regarding plagiarism and cheating,
unauthorized access to University materials, misrepresentation/falsification
of University records or academic work, malicious removal, retention, or
destruction of library materials, malicious/intentional misuse of computer
facilities and/or services, and misuse of student identification cards.
Incidents of alleged academic misconduct will be handled through the
established procedures of the University Judiciary Program, which includes
either an "informal" resolution by a faculty member, resulting in a
grade adjustment, or a formal hearing procedure, which may subject a student
to the Code of Conduct's minimum one semester suspension requirement.
Students
are encouraged to study together and to work together on class assignments
and lab exercises; however, the provisions of the STUDENT CONDUCT
REGULATIONS, II. Academic Honesty, KSC Undergraduate Catalog will be strictly
enforced in this class.
Frequently
students will be provided with "take-home" exams or exercises. It
is the student's responsibility to ensure they fully understand to what
extent they may collaborate or discuss content with other students. No exam
work may be performed with the assistance of others or outside material
unless specifically instructed as permissible. If an exam or assignment is
designated "no outside assistance" this includes, but is not
limited to, peers, books, publications, the Internet and the WWW. If a
student is instructed to provide citations for sources, proper use of
citation support is expected. Additional information can be found at the
following locations.
