WEB Course Organization: A recommended assignment schedule for each week of the semester, including examdates and times, is included on pages 6 and 7 of this document. All weekly assigned text readings, Office 20 I 3

Hands-On Exercises (yellow pages), MyITLab@ homework assignments, and exams are to be completedindependently by each student. UAA utilizes course management software, known as Blackboard (Bb), and you are

expected to become familiar with its capabilities and functionality. For your convenience, a Weeklv Checklist willbe posted each Monday evening to aid students in staying on schedule in preparation for upcoming exams. Beginningthe second week of classes, two regularly scheduled on-line sessions will be held each week via Blackboard'sCollaborate software. These sessions will be recorded so all students are able to view the sessions and watch/listen towhat material was covered when it is convenient for them. Students unable to attend on-line sessions are expected towatch/listen to ALL recorded sessions. Assignments utilizing MyITLab@ software will be required as homework.Other assignments and portions of exams may be delivered and submitted using Blackboard and/or MyITLa6@ and

students are expected to login to Blackboard al least twice per week throughout the semester. Collaborate will be the

primary on-line communication tool. You will need to become familiar with Collaborate and its capabilities in order

to participate in and/or view on-line sessions.

Assigned Readings and Hands-On Computer Exercises: The assigned text materials are to be accomplished

PRIOR to beginning any portion of the MyITLaD@ homework assignments or TIA On-Line Activities. Reading the

chapters and completing the Office 2013 Hands-On Exercises (yellow pages) before working on assignments and

taking exams is critical to succeed in this course. The Office 2013 Hands-On Exercises (yellow pages) are not

graded, yet are designed to help you in your understanding of the material and provide yol practice within the

software application being covered. Practice in the software applications is necessary not only to verifu software

accessibility, but also to help students become familiar with possible exam tasks. This is primarily a tools-based

course, and you will not become proficient using these tools without an appropriate amount of preparation. If you do

not spend the time completing the readings, working through the Hands-On Exercises (yellow pages), and completing

the MyITLaD@ homework assignments (see pages 8 & 9 of this syllabus for preliminary homework information) by

the assigned due dates, then it is highly unlikely that you will be prepared to complete and successfully pass the

Hands-On tests/exams within the allowed time. Likewise, if you rely solely on someone else to "tutor" you for this

class without you assimilating the knowledge, you will have trouble with the tests/exams. This is a time and task

intensive class and requires a solid commitment from you. Courses delivered via distance techniques require students

to be well organized, self-directed, detail-oriented, and motivated. This course is no exception.

Chanee to Audit or Withdrawal Deadline is Friday. November 15. 2013: You are responsible for getting the

app-pr*t" f".- signed and submitted to the UAA Registrar's office. Do not assume that since you have missed most

olihe semester the instructor will drop )zou or assign you a No Basis (NB) grade. Failure to follow this procedure willresult in a grade ofF for the course.

Gradins and Exam Information: The Syllabus/Course Info Quiz, Technology in Action (TIA) On-Line activities,

MJrZ,rr@ h"-*t".k-"*tg"ments, Sample Exam activity, and Discussion Board participation are worth 38o/o ofyour grade. Hands-on practicum exams will be the primary software application testing method. Your instructor willprovide all testing materials using Blackboard. Each student will be required to validate and accept an ethics

itatement with regard to our distance testing procedures prior to beginning each exam. All exams can be taken

ONLy during scheduled exam dates/times as specified by your instructor and noted in the schedule (see pages 6 and

7). Students maybe allowed ONE make-up opportunity at the end of the semester on December 16 provided the

appropriate documentation is submitted before the original scheduled exam date. Any make-up opportunities willbe offered solely at the discretion of your instructor! No early exams will be scheduled.

The 100% distance exam process used in this course is rigorous and can be challenging. Students are expected to be

prepared! In past semesters, the majority of well-prepared students were able to satisfactorily complete exams within

ihe allowed time limit and they earned average or above-average scores. However, unprepared students tended to

have difficulty not only with tire exam material, but also with the exam process. A Sample Exam activity will be

offered for credit to help students familiarize themselves with our distance exam process. Your instructor reserves the

right to apply penalties on individual exam scores when situations of non-compliance with exam and/or software

procedures and instructions are encountered.

your instructor may offer additional extra credit activities during the semester. Any extra credit activities will be

announced in Blackboard. Checking Blackboard often throughout the semester is each student's responsibility. No

make-up opportunities or late submissions for extra credit activities will be allowed.

Course grading is as follows:

(900 points or above)(800 - 899.99 points)(700 - 799.99 points)(600 - 699.99 points)( 0-599.99points)

During the semester, you will be able to verify your scores and monitor your course progress via Blackboard(trttp://www.uaa.atasta. ). You must bring any discrepancies in grading and/or posted scores to your

instructor's attention glqto taking your Final Exam. The Final Exam period for this class will run between December

12 through December 14. Save ALL course materials and returned grading sheets until you receive your officialfinal course grade on UAOnline!

Unforeseen or Unorthodox Exam Period Circumstances: Should an unforeseen or unorthodox exam situation

oicur that has not been encountered before, regardless of the cause, your instructor reserves the right to apply any

grading penalty or adjustment that is appropriate for the circumstance or situation in question. Your instructor will do

iveryttiing possible to maintain a level of grading equality and fairness for ALL students in this course. If an

uneipected-exam situation occurs that creates an unfair advantage for one student, then your instructor will apply any

grading modification necessary to ensure equality in exam scoring results. Should a dispute arise between a student

and the instructor regarding such a situation, management from the College of Business & Public Policy and/or the

UAA Dean of Students office will be consulted.

Academic Misconduct: Given our 100% distance format, you are expected to act honestly and with integrity at all

tint... ett *U.itt"d work must be original work prepared and/or completed solelv by each individual student.

Numerous electronic tracking exam safeguards are put into place for this course and all submitted exam files will be

rigorously scrutinized for authentic ity. Exams must be comoleted individuallv and NO discussion/communication

between students during an exam period is allowed. Submitting work based even partially on the work of another

student, past or presentlconstitute; academic misconduct. Any instances of suspected misconduct in this course and

during "*u1n,

*ill b" reported immediately to the UAA Dean of Students office for disciplinary action. Any student

found using another student's work, in part or in whole, receives no credit for that entire assignment or exam.

Similarly, froviding your work to other students for their use also constitutes academic misconduct and may lead to

disciplinary action. A second offense by either party will result in an F for the course. Academic dishonesty may be

g.ound, foi dismissal from the University.r Do not underestimate your instructor's ability to identifu non-original

work.

Incomnletes: You may receive an Incomplete grade only under extenuating circumstances. To quali8, you must

f,i-*pt"t ed 7 s%o oi all course work to date with a minimum of a c average as of the date of your request. Ifgranted, tiren you must fill out and sign a contract that lists the work needing to be completed, and the expected date

of completion.
