Academic Integrity |
|
In addition to good academic performance, students should exhibit honesty and integrity. If there is any question that academic honesty and integrity are not honored, students may be required to redo assignments in the presence of an instructor-selected monitor. Proof of dishonesty, including plagiarism, will make students subject to disciplinary action. Please consult your college catalog for more information.
Piedmont Community College Plagiarism Policy 7.5.1 PLAGIARISM
Whether intentional or unintentional, plagiarism is ?the wrongful act of taking the product of another person's mind and presenting it as one's own" (Alexander Lindey, Plagiarism and Originality, 1952).
The following acts are examples of intentional plagiarism:
Copying material from a published source to avoid having to devise one’s own ideas. Failing to give clear and proper credit to an idea, phrase, or quotation taken from a source. Purchasing a pre-written paper. Having someone other than the stated author complete an assignment, or part of an assignment.
Unintentional Plagiarism occurs when a student provides sources for his or her work, but the sources are cited incorrectly or inadequately. Handbooks with documentation rules for Modern Language Association (MLA) and American Psychology Association (APA), two source documentation styles, are housed in the Caswell County Campus Resource Center and in the Person County Campus Learning Resource Center. Students are also encouraged to speak with their instructors when they are uncertain about documenting their sources in class assignments.
Plagiarism will result in disciplinary action, and repeated offenses will lead to increased penalties that may ultimately result in expulsion from the College, as set out below:
A student who unintentionally plagiarizes will receive a warning and instruction on proper citation, style, and usage for the first offense. A student who unintentionally plagiarizes a second time in a single course will receive a course grade of F in the course in which the student plagiarized. A student who intentionally plagiarizes will receive a course grade of F in the course in which the student plagiarized. If a student receives a course grade of F due to plagiarism, the course instructor will notify the Dean of Student Development using the Plagiarism Incident Report Form. If a student receives three course grades of F due to plagiarism, as determined by records kept in the office of the Dean of Student Development, he or she will be expelled from the College.

Specific Information on Assignments: HSE 160 Blackboard Participation Students will be required read the textbook and answer questions on the discussion board about the textbook and their internship. Unlike the discussion board in other classes, outside resources (other than the textbook) are not required to receive an “A”. However, thorough and thoughtful responses are required and outside resources are welcome. You must reply to other students' posts in order to receive full credit for discussion board assignments. Responses such as "Keep up the good work!" or "Sounds like you're having fun," do not constitute an appropriate response and therefore will not receive credit. Late responses to other student posts do not promote interaction and will not be graded. You will be writing about internship experiences; it is extremely important that you maintain client (and fellow student) confidentiality at all times in your posts, as well as outside the classroom. Homework There are several homework assignments from the textbook. Homework can be emailed to the instructor or left at the instructor’s office. Homework assignments are always due by 5:00 p.m. on the Wednesday of the week assigned and should be submitted to Sheri Narin. Week Two: Homework #1 Due: Thinking things through exercise (Values Clarification Exercise), pages 16 to 17, due to Sheri Narin by Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. (15 points) Week Three: Homework #2: Complete the Self-Awareness Exercise, page 38, due to Sheri Narin by Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. (21 points) Week Seven: Homework #3 Complete the Thinking Things Through Exercise, pages 50 to 51, due to Sheri Narin by Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. (15 points) Week Nine: Homework #4 Complete the Concluding Exercises 1 and 2, page 94, due to Sheri Narin by Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. (20 points) Week Twelve: Homework # 5 Complete the Thinking Things Through Exercise, page 105, due to Sheri Narin by Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. (15 points) Week Fourteen: Homework #6 Complete the Concluding Exercises 1 and 2 on Page 123, Due to Sheri Narin by Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. (15 points) Week Sixteen: Homework #7 Choose three of the scenarios on pages 138 or 139.

Specific Information on Assignments: HSE 163 Time Sheets Time sheets will be turned in every two weeks. For each four week period in which no timesheets are submitted, ten (10) points will be deducted from your grade. Time sheets should be left under the door in your instructor's office. Your internship supervisor needs to sign the time sheet. It is in your best interest to keep a copy of your time sheet as well. You will be given 16 blank time sheets. If you need more than that, you are responsible for making copies. Time Sheets are due every two weeks. Time sheets for the previous two weeks should be placed under the door of HSE 163 Instructor’s office (L130) by 5:00 p.m. on the Fridays of the following weeks: Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16.

Learning Plan You and your internship site supervisor will develop a learning plan with goals and objectives towards which you will work during the semester. Goals should be specific and address skills you would like to gain as well as one personal area in which you would like to develop. This is worth 100 points and is due during week four by Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. and should be submitted to HSE 163 Instructor. It may need to be revised several times before full credit is received.
Internship Description You will develop a profile of your internship site, describing your responsibilities and the structure of the internship. This will be used to give other students a picture of what an internship would be like at that placement. This is worth 30 points and will be typed. It is due during week six by Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. and should be submitted to HSE 163 Instructor.
Verbatim The verbatim is a written record of an interaction between you and the client. You will record what happened and your analysis on the interaction. This will include your reactions and feelings. You will be given an example of a verbatim. DO NOT use any identifying information about the client. Use an initial (just one) for the name and do not give information that might lead to the client being identified. This will be typed. This project is worth 100 points and is due during week eleven by Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. and should be submitted to HSE 163 Instructor.

This must be typed. This project is worth 100 points and is due during week thirteen by Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. and should be submitted to HSE 163 Instructor.
Daily Journal and meetings with Instructor You will keep a journal of your internship experience. Each day that you are doing your internship, you will write about what you did that day, your reactions to what you did, your general thoughts about the internship, and questions this has raised for you. You will review the journal with your HSE 163 Instructor approximately every four weeks. You will not be graded on your opinions and thoughts but will be graded on your thoroughness and thoughtfulness about the internship and what you are learning there. The first meeting will be worth 20 points and will include reviewing your learning plan and journal. The three subsequent meetings will be worth 10 points each. You will leave the journal with your instructor; it will be returned within two school days. The journal will be graded four times and will be worth 30 points each time. Journals must be legible and complete to earn full points.
Site Visits: Your instructor will visit you on site at your internship at least twice during the semester. This will be arranged with you and should also be a time that your onsite supervisor is at the site. The visit will last up to an hour and will primarily involve your Instructor observing you working at the agency. Each site visit is worth 20 points.

Attendance/Participation Regular participation is necessary for students to learn important concepts. In this regard, the following class attendance policy is established by Piedmont Community College. A student is expected to be regular and punctual in meeting all classes. To receive credit for a course, the student must attend a minimum of 80 percent of classes, labs and shop hours. Failure to attend class is an absence, regardless of the reason. Absences are counted from the first scheduled meeting of the class, not the first day the student attends. All work missed during absences must be made up to the satisfaction of the instructor. Failure to complete required assignments will negatively affect the student's final grade. A student who exceeds the 20 percent limit of absences may be dropped by the instructor through the eighth week of the semester. If a student exceeds the 20 percent limit after the eighth week, the instructor is authorized to award the student the "I" or "F" grade as warranted by the student's performance. Any exceptions to this policy must be authorized by the instructor. Participation on the discussion board forum is equal to attending class. Thus, your grade will be adversely affected by incomplete participation.

Class Participation or Attendance: Regular attendance at all class meetings is necessary for students to learn important concepts. In this regard, the following class attendance policy is established: 1. A student is expected to be regular and punctual in meeting all classes. To receive credit for a course, the student must attend prior to the census point and a minimum of 80 percent of classes, labs and shop hours. Failure to attend class is an absence, regardless of the reason. Absences are counted from the first scheduled meeting of the class, not the first day the student attends. All work missed during absences must be made up to the satisfaction of the instructor. Failure to complete required assignments will negatively affect the student's final grade. 2. A student who exceeds the 20 percent limit of absences may be dropped by the instructor through the eighth week of the semester. If a student exceeds the 20 percent limit after the eighth week, the instructor is authorized to award the student the "I" or "F" grade as warranted by the student's performance. 3. Any exceptions to this policy must be authorized by the instructor.
For this class, your attendance is counted through your participation in the class. You will see a column in the grade book for each week and this will reflect whether you participated in the online course that week. Lack of participation will strongly affect your grades and you may be dropped from the class if there are more than three weeks in which you did not participate. Failure to complete internship hours will result in a failing grade in HSE 163, and both classes will have to be repeated.
