X. Course Policies Department of Biological Sciences Statement on Academic Misconduct : Any impropriety (e.g., cheating/plagiarism) on examinations and/or any coursework or enabling any such impropriety may constitute grounds for failing the course. A form describing any academic misconduct will be sent to the Dean's office and kept in the offending student's permanent record. Further disciplinary action may occur at the level of the University according to the University catalog (2021-22_undergraduate_catalog.pdf (nova.edu) ) - section on academic integrity. Students will complete all course assessments online asynchronously per the official class Eastern Time Zone schedule each week. Contact the help desk for any technology issues that arise. The Canvas companion platform is used as a depository for handouts, discussions, emails, quizzing, testing and assignment folders. All assignment due dates and times are posted in the Canvas calendar, detailed class schedule, and the designated assignment folders and adhere to the Eastern Time Zone. There will be no unexcused make-ups allowed or late work accepted. Although the Canvas assignment link may allow a late upload, this does not mean that your late work will be graded. Work conflicts, late registration, vacations, family events, etc. are not eligible for make ups. The midterm and final exam periods adhere to the college’s testing schedule and all students are required to attend these sessions as scheduled. Make up for these exams will require approval of the Department of Biological Sciences department chair. Make Ups and Late Work. The professor reserves the right to allow makeups to qualified absences. If you miss an exam or an assignment, as soon as the student is capable, he or she must email the instructor their request for a makeup and provide an explanation as to why this should be considered a qualified absence and plan on making up the missed work or exam within 1-2 days.. In your request do NOT attach any personal information (e.g., doctor’s notes, legal documents, etc.). Waiting until the next class session you attend to request any make up or to turn in a late assignment may not be honored even for excused absences. If the absence is qualified, the instructor will arrange for the student to take the makeup exam, quiz or upload the makeup assignment within a 1-2 days of the request either in the testing center or online. Note: No bonus assignment will be accepted late! It is at the faculty of record discretion to accept unexcused late work for grading and assess any late penalty deductions. Students who upload an assignment late should explain why the assignment should be accepted for grading in the assignment comment box. Late work will be graded at the discretion of the instructor unless excused. If allowed late, there will be penalty points accessed. Although the first time you submit a late unexcused assignment I may accept it for grading, do not expect future late work by the same student to be accepted if unexcused. Please adhere to the assignment due dates and times listed in the Canvas Calendar and Detailed Class Schedule. All quizzes and exams will be completed in the Canvas Quizzing folders and will require internet access and a cellphone and or laptop electronic device. All quizzes and exams including any allowed makeups will be proctored by Respondus or other proctoring software with webcam to prevent dishonesty. The exam window will be open from 6 pm to 11:59 pm. You are not permitted to photograph or record the test questions! If you do photograph or record the exam questions, you will receive a grade of 0 for that exam and your name will be submitted to the Academic Integrity Committee for further disciplinary action. If granted by the instructor, any makeup exam will either be in the testing center on the main campus of NSU if available or during a specially arranged and recorded Zoom session online. A recorded Zoom session make up will require that the student’s webcam be on them the entire time with no other resources available including the use of the textbook, lecture notes handouts, lab manual, publisher’s test bank, or additional electronic devices such as a laptop, IPAD, etc. Student use of technology will only be used to access the Zoom session and the Canvas quizzing folder. Note: The makeup quiz or exam will cover the same content area using a different set of questions and may also be in a different format (e.g., true/false, matching, short answer, fill-in-the-blank, essay, or oral questioning, etc.). Note: Makeups for absences one or more in a week, or for repetitive absences will need to be determined by NSU’s Office of Disability.

information. I will do my best to return phone calls and Email messages within 24 hours Monday – Friday and within 48 hours Saturday – Sunday In compliance with FERPA, I will only discuss grades and review graded material privately during office hours, not in the classroom, laboratory. Students may sign up to reserve a 15-minute office appointment in person or via Zoom in advance using the Canvas Calendar feature. Turnitin.com feature in Canvas: All written assignments must be uploaded as a Microsoft office product with the signed and dated authorship form (e.g., MS Word) or as a PDF by the student into the designated discussion and/or assignment links in Canvas by the posted due date and time. It is the student’s responsibility to assure that all their documents have been uploaded by double-checking before the due date and time that their assignment is visible and downloadable for a PC. A screenshot is not acceptable proof of compliance. If Dr. Jaffe may inform you that your upload is wrong or missing and allow you to correctly upload the assignment on a case by case basis. Any required work not submitted for processing will be given a 0 grade. For assignments that use Turnitin.com, after uploading the assignment, the student is also responsible to review their turnitin.com matching report in the assignment link. They do not have to explain any matches that are required as part of the assignment. For instance, the authorship title form, layout, headers, and any citations. Students should limit quoting (to no more than 5 %) and must keep matches to any one source excluding the required content to less than 2%. However, if there are high matches beyond the above percentages, or if the student feels they should explain the matches, they should type an explanation of all concerning matches and type that directly into the assignment comments box within 24 hours after the assignment was due. Note: It is at the faculty of record discretion to accept unexcused late work for grading and assess any late penalty deductions. Students who upload an assignment late must also explain why the assignment should be accepted for grading in the assignment comment box. Late work will be graded at the discretion of the instructor on a case by case basis. If allowed late, there may be penalty points accessed. Although the first time an uploaded unexcused late assignment may accepted for grading, does not imply that future unexcused late work will be accepted for grading. Please adhere to the assignment due dates and times listed in the Canvas Calendar and Detailed Class Schedule. Replacement (B onus or Extra-credit) points: Will be very limited in scope and are only intended for students who have the time and interest in those activities. They are not intended as a substitute for poor performance on course assignments and exams. Students should concentrate their efforts on the assigned readings and assessments. The bonus assignments are not a requirement of this course and may be discontinued at any time at the discretion of the instructor. The bonus assignments will NOT be accepted late and will not total more than 3% towards the student’s final grade even if the student earns more than this amount. Grade/Academic Grievances Faculty members serve as the initial contacts for all grievances involving the fairness of a grade, or any classroom or instructor activity, in their courses. Students unable to resolve a grade/academic grievance with a faculty member should contact the appropriate department chair or program director in the college responsible for the course, who will make a final decision on the fairness of the grade. Grade/academic grievances will not be permitted to proceed any further unless evidence of discrimination or a violation of rights can be demonstrated. Grade/academic grievances must be initiated in a timely fashion, no later than the end of the semester following the occurrence of the grievance issue. The student may forfeit all rights under the grievance procedure if each step is not followed within the prescribed time limit. (http://www.nova.edu undergraduatestudies/forms/202122_undergraduate_catalog.pdf – section on Grades/AcademicGrievances).
