HSE 260:
Internet Participation
Students will be required to write about their internship on the discussion
board forum on certain dates (see Discussion Board Forum for dates). Other
students will be required to respond, in writing, to what you have written.
There will also be questions at the web site, to which you will need to respond.
You will be expected to be on the discussion board at least twice a week.
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.
1. 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.
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.
Participation on the web and interviews with instructor are equal to attending
class. Thus, your grade will be adversely affected by incomplete participation.
Homework
There are several homework assignments from the textbook. Homework can be
emailed to the instructor or left in envelope outside office door. The homework
is as follows:
1. Wednesday, September 29, 2004 Homework # 1 Due: Page 182,

HSE 264:
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 personal areas in
which you like to develop. Goals should build on goals you developed in your
first internship. This is worth 100 points and is due: Wednesday, September 15,
2004. Learning Plan is submitted to Kathy Oakley.
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 28 points and will be typed. It is due: Wednesday, October 13,
2004. Internship Description is submitted to Kathy Oakley.
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 be identifiable. This
will be typed. This verbatim should demonstrate further development of analytic
skills, as evidenced by more thorough analysis from the first verbatim. This
project is worth 100 points and is due: Wednesday, November 10, 2004. Verbatim
is submitted to Kathy Oakley.
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 psychosocial will show additional
information gathering skills than your first psychosocial and will be 5 to 7
pages in length. This will be typed. This project is worth 100 points and is
due: Wednesday, November 24, 2004. Psychosocial is submitted to Kathy Oakley.
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 in the envelope outside your instructor's
office. Your internship supervisor will 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 submitted to Kathy Oakley.
Evaluations
Your supervisor will evaluate your performance as an intern, twice during the
semester. The first evaluation will be in October and the second evaluation will
be at the end of the semester. Each evaluation is worth 100 points.
Grading Scale:
HSE 264
800 to 720 = A, 719 to 640
= B, 639 to 560 = C., 559 to 480 = D, Below 480 = F.
Please Note that if you fail one class, but pass the other, you will need to take both classes again to graduate.
Class Policy:
1. Respecting privacy and confidentiality is important at all times. This class
involves providing services for members of the community and it is vital that
you do not share identifying information about your clients. When referring to
clients, use only the first initial or a pseudonym. Breaches of confidentiality
will result in the following: First occasion: Writing a ten page paper on the
concept of confidentiality. Second occasion: Losing 100 points from your grade
in each class. Third occasion: Receiving a failing grade for both classes.
Breaches of confidentiality include talking about other clients in the agency
and people you see in court as well as other instances.
2 The ability to write well is an important skill for your professional
development. Assignments that are difficult to read due to handwriting will be
returned with one opportunity to redo the assignment, within 2 days. Typing is
strongly recommended. Some assignments require typing and will not be accepted
if not typed. Assignments with excessive grammatical or spelling errors
(excessive as subjectively defined by the instructor) will be returned with one
opportunity to make corrections.
3. Respect other student’s opinions, even if you do not agree with them
4. Respect the confidentiality of personal information shared by other students.
Being actively involved in class may involve some level of sharing of personal
information. You are expected to treat the web classroom with the same level of
ethical responsibility with which you would treat a job or internship. Do not
share personal information about other students. This includes discussing this
information with your fellow classmates.
5. If you choose to drop the class, you are responsible for completing and
turning in the withdrawal slip. If you have stopped coming to class but not
turned in a withdrawal slip or contacted the instructor to discuss this, you
will receive an "F" for the class.
6. As a reminder, late assignments will not be accepted. The definition of late
includes any time after 5:00 p.m. on the day on which the assignment is due.
7. Below is the PCC policy on plagiarism: 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.
