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.
Legal Reference: G.S. 115 D-20 History Note: Effective January 20, 2004 Plagiarism tutorial: http://www.lib.usm.edu/legacy/plag/whatisplag.php In furtherance of its Plagiarism Policy, Piedmont Community College has a license agreement with Turnitin.com, a service that helps prevent plagiarism in student assignments. Students may also be asked to submit assignments through the Blackboard tool, SafeAssign. To encourage original and authentic written work, any written assignment created in this course may be submitted for review to Turnitin.com (http://www.turnitin.com) or SafeAssign and will become a searchable document with the Turnitin-protected and restricted use database or the SafeAssign institutional or global database. |

Reminder: Almost all assignments need to be typed and homework assignments will now be submitted through Blackboard. Specific Information on Assignments: HSE 260 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 three 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 the HSE 260 instructor. Week Six: Wednesday by 5:00 p.m. Homework # 1 is Due: Pages 206 to 207, answer the questions following the second, third and fifth scenarios (second -Randy, p. 206; third - stereotypes about homeless, p. 206; fifth - working with a 24 year old Latina woman, p. 207). (30 points) Week Nine: Wednesday by 5:00 p.m. Homework # 2 is Due: Homework # 2 Due: Page 239, both thinking things through exercises, and page 241, the first thinking things through exercises. (30 points) Week Fourteen: Wednesday by 5:00 p.m. Homework # 3 is Due: Page 286, concluding exercises #1 and #3 (20 points) Specific Information on Assignments: HSE 264 Time Sheets Time sheets will be turned in every two weeks. 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 264 Instructor’s office (L108) by 5:00 p.m. on the Fridays of the following weeks: Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16. Evaluations Your site supervisor will evaluate your performance as an intern, twice during the semester. The first evaluation will be mid semester and the second evaluation will be at the end of the semester. Each evaluation is worth 100 points. 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 two by Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. and should be submitted to your HSE 264 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 site. This is worth 50 points and will be typed. It is due during week seven by Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. and should be submitted to your HSE 264 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 your HSE 264 Instructor. Psychosocial You will complete a psychosocial history with a client from your internship placement. You will be given the format for the psychosocial history. You will interview the client and obtain information that way and you may also get information from records and other individuals involved in the situation. Please use a pseudonym for the client. 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 your HSE 264 Instructor. Weekly Journals and meetings with Instructor You will keep a journal of your internship experience. Each week that you are doing your internship, you will write about what activities/duties that you did that week, your reactions to those activities/duties, your general thoughts about the internship, and questions this has raised for you. Journal entries should also reflect learned information covered in the assigned textbook as it applies to your fieldwork. You will submit and review the journal with your HSE 264 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 30 points and will include reviewing your learning plan and journal. The three subsequent meetings will be worth 20 points each. If possible, you will submit your journal before the meeting; if not, you will leave the journal with your instructor; it will be returned within one week. 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 50 points. The weeks of the class are as follows: Week One Monday, January 12, 2009 to Sunday, January 18, 2009 Week Two Tuesday, January 20, 2009 to Sunday, January 25, 2009 Week Three Monday, January 26, 2009 to Sunday, February 1, 2009 Week Four Monday, February 2, 2009 to Sunday, February 8, 2009 Week Five Monday, February 9, 2009 to Sunday, February 15, 2009 Week Six Monday, February 16, 2009 to Sunday, February 22, 2009 Week Seven Monday, February 23, 2009 to Sunday, March 1, 2009 Week Eight Monday, March 2, 2009 to Sunday, March 8, 2009 Week Nine Monday, March 16, 2009 to Sunday, March 22, 2009 Week Ten Monday, March 23, 2009 to Sunday, March 29, 2009 Week Eleven Monday, March 30, 2009 to Sunday, April 5, 2009 Week Twelve Monday, April 6, 2009 to Thursday, April 9, 2009 & Wednesday, April 15, 2009 to Sunday, April 19, 2009 Week Thirteen Monday, April 20, 2009 to Sunday, April 26, 2009 Week Fourteen Monday, April 27, 2009 to Sunday, May 3, 2009 Week Fifteen Monday, May 4, 2009 to Sunday, May 10, 2009 Week Sixteen Monday, May 11, 2009 to Saturday, May 16, 2009 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 for HSE 260 Thus, your grade will be adversely affected by incomplete participation. Your internship hours and completion of assignments are considered participation in HSE 264. Please note you cannot pass the class if you do not complete all your required internship hours and you cannot finish the hours before the end of week fifteen. Additionally, failing either class requires repeating both classes. |

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, attendance is counted through your participation in the class. 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 264, and both classes will have to be repeated. Both HSE 260 and HSE 264 must be taken simultaneously; therefore, if you fail either one, both must be retaken. |
|
Punctuality: Assignments are due at specific dates and times, and information on all assignments is posted on the course website. Assignments may be completed early when available. Late discussion board posts will not be graded. Homework and projects that are late will have 10 points deducted for each day that they are late. |
|
