Course Requirements It is the student's responsibility to complete all assigned coursework on or before the assigned deadline. The student must ensure that their submission has been recorded in the MyCourses system for the instructor to receive their submission. Assignment will be graded within 7 days of the due date, NOT the submission date (unless otherwise noted by the instructor). The instructor will send students a grade posting notification email through MyCourses email tool once the submissions have been graded. Students may request a review of grades up to 7 calendar days after the grade posting email notification has been sent. Grade changes will not be processed after this time. If a student runs into technical issues with these items, they need to contact the SPC help desk. Start early, to make sure you meet the due dates. Required Interaction; Discussion Topics are posted and due on a weekly basis as part of your weekly assigned tasks. Read the posted directions carefully. Other Critical Course Expectations: It is the student’s responsibility to have the minimum technical requirements to take this online class in having access to the operating system (Linux distribution). For this reason, make sure your hard disk has enough space to download and create the virtual hard disk. If the virtualization software used in our class suggests you need a 10 GB virtual hard disk, make sure you have more than 10 G space on your computer. Your computer should also have at least a 1 GHz processor or faster and at least 1 GB of memory (RAM). Also re CCIT’s technical requirements posted on MyCourses. This is an online class, the student will also need to have access to a reliable Internet connection. Students will be allowed 2 weeks to resolve any technical issues regarding their installation of their Linux Virtual Machine. Make sure you contact the instructor early in the week to ensure you receive a timely answer to your questions or technical issues. Failure to do so will not be an excuse to submit late assignments. Late submissions are NOT accepted. You will also need to have access to a word processing program (i.e. from Open Office or Word from Microsoft Office). Refer to the basic technical requirements for online classes. Course References You will need to take the quiz titled “Class Syllabus and Policies Quiz” to meet the signature page requirement set by the College. You will find the quiz inside the “Module 1” folder within the Course Content area in our MyCourses class website. Course Links The student survey of instruction is administered in courses each semester. It is designed to improve the quality of instruction at St Petersburg College. All student responses are confidential and anonymous and will be used solely for the purpose of performance improvement. Grading Policy Availability of Course Content: Weekly folders will open at least 1 day before the due date of the previous folder. For example; if the folder titled Week 3 is due “May 4th” then the folder for Week 4 would be open on or before “May 3rd”. Students are not allowed to work “behind” (in words, LATE assignments are NOT accepted). Students are not allowed to work ahead due to the progressive nature of the material. Assign will be graded within 7 days of the due date, NOT the submission date (unless otherwise noted by the instructor). LATE WORK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED – The drop box will disappear from view after the folder due date and will reappear once have the submissions. Submissions will be graded (generally speaking) within 7 days from the due date (not the submission date). Your class grade will be calculated by adding the number of points earned on assigned projects, quizzes and online participation for a total points. The following grading scale will be followed: 100%-90% A, 89.9%-80.0% B, 79.9%-70.0% C, 69.9%-60.0% D, and 59.9% – 0% F Grades are EARNED, not given. It is the student’s responsibility to earn the necessary points to ensure the successful completion of the course. Every point counts. Your points will be earned through (*subject to changes): Final (CEH Eligibility Post Test) 10% of your final grade Hands-on Tasks 30% of your final grade Quizzes 30% of your final grade Discussion Board postings (see attendance policy) 20% of your final grade Certified Ethical Hacker Certification Test Prep 10% of your final Grade Total 100% Total Grade Online interaction: According to the SPC Student Handbook violations of any of its regulations may result in a disciplinary action. This includes but it is not limited to; (Page 136 item 21) "Acts of verbal or written abuse, threats, intimidation, harassment, coercion and/or other conduct that causes intimidating, hostile or offensive working and/or educational environment". Therefore, any online or verbal communication should be written politely in “business language” and in “business tone.” Attendance Policy The college-wide attendance policy is included in the Syllabus Addendum. You may access the Syllabus addendum in the link provided with the Syllabus (read below). The policy notes that each instructor is to exercise professional judgment and define “active participation” in class (therefore “attendance”), and publish that definition in each syllabus. For this class, attendance is defined as: Week 1 – The student will be marked present for week one after they have completed all the assigned work due the first week of class. Fail complete the work due for week one will mean you were absent for week 1. Week 2 - The student will be marked present for week two after they have completed all the assigned work due the second week of class Failure to complete the work due for week two will mean you (the student) were absent for week 2. 60% mark - The student will be marked present at the 60% mark of the class after they have completed AT LEAST 80% of all the assigned Modules 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Failure to complete the work due for these modules will mean you were not an active participant in this class at the time of this 60% mark and will be administratively withdrawn. “Complete the work” means completing and submitting AT LEAST 80% (o more) of the total number of tasks for Modules 1, 2, 3, and 4 combined. Empty/incomplete files are not considered “submitted work”. AFTER the 60% mark: If a student misses one week of discussion topics AT or AFTER the 60% mark (week 5 and beyond), the student may be withdrawn from the class with a “F”. Exam Policy This is an online course, generally all testing is non-proctored as long as academic integrity is maintained (no cheating, plagiarism etc). However, in the event of a breach of academic integrity, the instructor reserves the right to change all testing to proctored format/mode.
