Code of Conduct
All participants in the course are bound by the University of California Code of Conduct, found at
Netiquette
[pic]
In an online course, the majority of our communication takes place in the course forums. However, when we have a need for communication that is private, whether personal, interpersonal, or professional, we will use individual email or telephone. Our primary means of communication is written. The written language has many advantages: more opportunity for reasoned thought, more ability to go in-depth, and more time to think through an issue before posting a comment. However, written communication also has certain disadvantages, such a lack of the face-to-face signaling that occurs through body language, intonation, pausing, facial expressions, and gestures. As a result, please be aware of the possibility of miscommunication and compose your comments in a positive, supportive, and constructive manner.
Academic Honesty Policy
The University is an institution of learning, research, and scholarship predicated on the existence of an environment of honesty and integrity. As members of the academic community, faculty, students, and administrative officials share responsibility for maintaining this environment. It is essential that all members of the academic community subscribe to the ideal of academic honesty and integrity and accept individual responsibility for their work. Academic dishonesty is unacceptable and will not be tolerated at the University of California, Irvine. Cheating, forgery, dishonest conduct, plagiarism, and collusion in dishonest activities erode the University's educational, research, and social roles.
Students who knowingly or intentionally conduct or help another student engage in dishonest conduct, acts of cheating, or plagiarism will be subject to disciplinary action at the discretion of UCI Division of Continuing Education.
Disability Services
If you need support or assistance because of a disability, you may be eligible for
accommodations or services through the Disability Service Center at UC Irvine. Please
contact the DSC directly at (949) 824-7494 or TDD (949) 824-6272. You can also visit the
DSC’s website: . The DSC will work with your instructor to
make any necessary accommodations. Please note that it is your responsibility to initiate
this process with the DSC.
-----------------------
**TIP: For continuity among courses, please…
• Do not change the font, line spacing, character spacing, sequence of the sections, or any other visual element.
• Do not alter any BLACK or BLUE text within the template (aside from the TIP boxes).
• Once RED text has been populated with course information, change the font color to black.
• Delete the TIP boxes upon completion.
**TIP: Be sure to include a few sentences about how/when students should contact you via phone/email. Students should be encouraged to use your phone/email for personal questions only (i.e. request for extensions, questions about grades, etc.). If you are teaching online, encourage students to submit general questions about the course (be they content-related, due date related, etc.) via the general Q&A forum on your UCI Learn course site. This ensures that all students can benefit from the question and your response and that all important information has been communicated to all students.
**TIP: Course-level learning objectives must be approved by your program representative and describe what students should be able to do by the end of the course. In order to keep courses targeted and make proper assessment of student performance manageable, we recommend having no more than 4-6 overall objectives for your course. All graded activities and assessments in the course should objectively measure the extent to which students were able to successfully complete the listed objectives.
Course objectives should be listed in measureable, action-oriented terms. Refer to the “Blooms Taxonomy Resource” for more information about how to develop effective and impactful learning objectives.
**TIP: This section should list any course materials that the student will need to use in order to pass the course. If you course contains a required textbook, be sure to communicate this to your program representative so that this information can be included on the registration website. Any required textbooks must be used in the course in an explicit way. This may mean that students will use the textbook to complete an assignment or case study or that information presented in the textbook will be assessed in some way and not duplicated in your lectures. Materials that are helpful but not necessarily required for the course should be listed as recommended.
**TIP: The upper part of this section lists tasks on which you intend to evaluate student performance. It is generally better to list categories of items rather than individual assignments in order to keep the table uncluttered, although we do encourage you to include the number of assignments that fall into a category in parentheses. On the right side, you can list the relative weighting that each item contributes toward the total grade. Please express this as a percentage, not as points.
Example: Case Study Reflections (2) - 20%.
Some instructors like to assign points for participation, such as speaking up in class with meaningful comments or participating in an online discussion forum. Please note that UCI Division of Continuing Education policy places the following limits on “participation” credit:
• Classroom-based course: Maximum of 15% of the total grade
• Online course: Maximum of 30% of the total grade
The maximum value is greater for online courses because online discussion forums are more visible and it is easier for instructors to track and evaluate participation.
**TIP: Choose one of the two grading scales below and delete the other. The grading scale is fixed. Please note that you must choose one scale, show the appropriate table in your course syllabus, and then assign letter grades at the end of the course according to the scale you chose. If you tell students that you will not be assigning plusses and minuses, then you must not do so when submitting final grades.
UCI Division of Continuing Educatione courses are not graded on any type of “curve” so the course letter grade you assign must be determined by using one of the tables below. It is important to use numerical scales for evaluating all gradable assignments and learning activities, and to assign a final letter grade only at the end of a course.
**TIP: The final portion of this “Evaluation and Grading” section should contain additional information about expectations and grading criteria for each category listed in the student performance table. If, for example, you will be awarding participation points for students’ contributions to online discussion forum, you should provide students with some basic participation guidelines. This can be as simple as:
“Each week will contain an opportunity for you to engage your classmates in discussion. Participation in these discussion forums is required and counts as 25% of your final grade. To receive full participation points, you will need to post a substantive response to the prompt by 11:55pm PST on the Thursday of each week and provide critical feedback to at least 2 of your peers by 11:55pm PST on the Sunday of each week. Although I am not looking for you to meet a specific word count, I am looking for well thought-out and interesting contributions to the conversation. Simply posting a link to a resource or letting your classmate know that he/she did a “Great job!” will not result in full participation points.”
Some instructors will even provide rubrics and/or samples of student work for large assignments, such as an electronic portfolio, case study write up, or group presentation.
**TIP: This section should appear in your course syllabus if you are teaching a fully online course, hybrid course, or classroom-based course that utilizes the UCI Learn site. If your course does not contain any online components, please remove this section from your syllabus.
