*When references are required for assignments, please use references no older than the past 10years unless it is a historical document or if your professor instructs otherwise.AttendanceThe RN to BSN program adheres to the Grayson College Student Handbook attendance policy.Should absences occur which do not allow for full evaluation of student performance (qualityand consistency) faculty will be unable to assign a passing grade. In addition, the followingpolicies are specific to the theory course.1. Regular attendance is expected for all classes.2. Attendance is verified within Canvas for all courses.3. Students must notify the faculty in case of an absence during test times at least one hourprior to the scheduled test time.STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY & ATTENDANCEAttendance online is strongly encouraged. You will miss a deeper understanding of the materialsif you are not participating. There are readings that you will have to complete to be able toadequately participate in individual and group assignments. In order to complete this coursesuccessfully, you do have to participate in all course activities i.e. homework, discussion board,course projects, self–reflections, etc. Students are expected to engage in course activities andsubmit work by due dates and times. The hope is that students will make substantivecontributions that reflect integration of assigned materials as well as any outside readings asappropriate. Scholarly contribution is an expectation. For planning purposes, this class willprobably require a minimum of 6-9 study hours per week on average.COMMUNICATIONFaculty will respond to email and/or telephone messages within 24 hours during working hoursMonday through Friday. Weekend messages will not be returned until Monday.Written communication via Canvas: It is an expectation of this class that you use formal writingskills giving appropriate credit to the source for your ideas. Follow APA (2010) 6th edition (2ndPrinting or higher only) guidelines for referencing.Written communication via email: All private communication will be done exclusively throughyour Viking email address. Check frequently for announcements and policy changes.Virtual communication: Office hours and/or advising may be done with the assistance of thetelephone, online platform, etc.Use Good "Netiquette": Check the discussion frequently and respond appropriately and on subject. Focus on one subject per message and use pertinent subject titles.8

Capitalize words only to highlight a point or for titles. Otherwise, capitalizing is generallyviewed as SHOUTING! Be professional and careful with your interaction. Proper address for faculty is by formal titlesuch as Dr. or Ms. /Mr. Jones unless invited by faculty to use a less formal approach. Cite all quotes, references, and sources. When posting a long message, it is generally considered courteous to warn readers at thebeginning of the message that it is a lengthy post. It is extremely rude to forward someone else's messages without their permission. It is fine to use humor, but use it carefully. The absence of face-to-face cues can cause humor tobe misinterpreted as criticism or flaming (angry, antagonistic criticism). Feel free to useemoticons such as J or :) to let others know you are being humorous.(The "netiquette" guidelines were adapted from Arlene H. Rinald's article, The Net UserGuidelines and Netiquette, Florida Atlantic University, 1994, available from Netcom)ASSIGNMENT SUBMISSION AND FEEDBACKIn this class, all assignments need to be submitted through the Assignments link in the Canvascourse site. This is for grading purposes. Issues with technology use arise from time to time. If atechnology issue does occur regarding an assignment submission, email me atandersm@grayson.edu and attach a copy of what you are trying to submit. This lets your facultyknow you completed the assignment on time and are just having problems with the onlinesubmission feature in Canvas. Once the problem is resolved, submit your assignment through theappropriate link. This process will document the problem and establish a timeline. Be sure tokeep a backup of all work and save your work frequently!I will make every effort to provide feedback and grade submissions within one week of the duedate. If your assignment is submitted late, the feedback timeframe does not apply. I will get to itas soon as possible, but it may take longer than one week.LATE WORK OR MISSED ASSESSMENTS POLICYThe course is set up on weekly modules. The week begins on Monday and ends on Sunday. TheFinal week (week 8) ends on Thursday. Assignment due dates are shown on thecalendar/schedule or posted within Canvas. Five percentage points per day will be deductedfor assignments submitted late. Late assignments will not be accepted after five days.Student Conduct & DisciplineRefer to the RN to BSN Student Handbook for policiesAcademic IntegrityRefer to the RN to BSN Student Handbook for specific policies9

The faculty expects from its students a high level of responsibility and academic honesty.Because the value of an academic degree depends upon the absolute integrity of the work doneby the student for that degree, it is imperative that a student demonstrate a high standard ofindividual honor in his or her scholastic work.Scholastic dishonesty includes but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion, and thesubmission for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole or in part to anotherperson, taking an examination for another person, any act designed to give unfair advantage to astudent or the attempt to commit such acts. Plagiarism, especially from the web, from portionsof papers for other classes, and from any other source is unacceptable and will be dealt withunder the college’s policy on plagiarism (see GC Student Handbook for details). GraysonCollege subscribes to turnitin.com, which allows faculty to search the web and identifyplagiarized material.Plagiarism is a form of scholastic dishonesty involving the theft of or fraudulent representationof someone else’s ideas or words as the student’s original work. Plagiarism can beintentional/deliberate or unintentional/accidental. Unintentional/Accidental plagiarism mayinclude minor instances where an attempt to acknowledge the source exists but is incorrect orinsufficient. Deliberate/Intentional plagiarism violates a student’s academic integrity and existsin the following forms: Turning in someone else’s work as the student’s own (such as buying a paper andsubmitting it, exchanging papers or collaborating on a paper with someone else withoutpermission, or paying someone else to write or translate a paper) Recycling in whole or in part previously submitted or published work or concurrentlysubmitting the same written work where the expectation for current original work exists,including agreeing to write or sell one’s own work to someone else Quoting or copy/pasting phrases of three words or more from someone else withoutcitation, Paraphrasing ideas without citation or paraphrasing incompletely, with orwithout correct citation, where the material too closely matches the wording or structureof the original Submitting an assignment with a majority of quoted or paraphrased material from othersources Copying images or media and inserting them into a presentation or video without citation, Using copyrighted soundtracks or video and inserting them into a presentation or videowithout citation Giving incorrect or nonexistent source information or inventing source information Performing a copyrighted piece of music in a public setting without permission Composing music based heavily on someone else’s musical composition.1st offense: will result in disciplinary action by the Professor (may result in course failure). Acounseling record will be completed and placed in student’s file.2nd offense: will result in disciplinary action by the RN-BSN Faculty Committee (may result in dismissalfrom the program).10

Student ResponsibilityYou have already made the decision to go to college; now the follow-up decisions on whether tocommit to doing the work could very well determine whether you end up working at a goodpaying job in a field you enjoy or working at minimum wage for the rest of your life. Educationinvolves a partnership that requires both students and instructors to do their parts. By enteringinto this partnership, you have a responsibility to show up for class, do the assignments andreading, be engaged and pay attention in class, follow directions, and put your best effort into it.You will get out of your experience here exactly what you put into it – nothing more and nothingless.TITLE IXGC policy prohibits discrimination on the basis of age, ancestry, color, disability,gender identity, genetic information, national origin, race, religion, retaliation, seriousmedical condition, sex, sexual orientation, spousal affiliation and protected veteransstatus.Furthermore, Title IX prohibits sex discrimination to include sexual misconduct: sexualviolence (sexual assault, rape), sexual harassment and retaliation.For more information on Title IX, please contact: Dr. Molly M.
