Computing work

This work is divided into exams and homework/activities. The dates of the exams will be found on the schedule in the syllabus.

Activities will be announced in class and typically turned in via canvas. The canvas assignment will typically just have the name and due date. All work needs to be turned in as a pdf document. Any work turned in with a different format will be rejected and will need to be turned in late with a 10% penalty the first time, 20% the second, and rejected after that. There will probably be quizzes and other assignments made.

Computing work

This work is divided into exams and homework/activities. The dates of the exams will be found on the schedule in the syllabus.

Activities will be announced in class and typically turned in via canvas. The canvas assignment will typically just have the name and due date. All work needs to be turned in as a pdf document. Any work turned in with a different format will be rejected and will need to be turned in late with a 10% penalty the first time, 20% the second, and rejected after that. There will probably be quizzes and other assignments made.

Changed:

<		Two assignments are as follows. The due dates are found in canvas (by midterm and before the final exam week). Announcements will not be made in class. You are responsible to track these yourself. Standard late policy will apply to these assignments.
You are to react to current events/publications. A reaction to an article includes enough to convince me that you have read the entire article and not just the headline or first paragraph. It should include s summary of what was said and your reaction. Be sure to give a complete reference to the item. These should be turned in as a hard copy in class within one week of the item being published. You may pick when. Each one does have a deadline. The ones you pick must be unique to this course

Campus Integrity Policy

The student handbook (p. 156) states: “Any act of deceit, falsehood or stealing by unethically copying or using someone else’s work in an academic situation is strictly prohibited.

  1. A student found guilty of plagiarism or cheating will receive an “F”(zero) for that particular paper, assignment or exam. Should this occur, the professor will have an interview with the student and will submit a written report of the incident to the academic dean.
  2. If a second offense should occur, the student will be asked to appear before the professor, the academic dean and the vice president for student development.

The student should realize that at this point continuation in a course and even his/her academic career may be in jeopardy. In the event of a recommendation for dismissal, the matter shall be referred to the Student Development Committee.”

Covid Policy

Everyone should follow the current Bethel University covid policy. See: https://www.betheluniversity.edu/intheknow for details

Services

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a law which provides civil rights protection for people with disabilities. Bethel University, in compliance with equal access laws, requests that students with disabilities seeking to acquire accommodations make an appointment with the Center for Academic Success—Disability Services. It is located in the Miller-Moore Academic Center, 033. You may also phone 574-807-7460 or email rachel.kennedy@betheluniversity.edu for an appointment.

DEI Statement

During this particularly difficult time, this statement momentarily underscores and deepens what is expressed in the Lifestyle Covenant regarding the dignity of all humans. The statement will remain in all Bethel Faculty syllabi until spring 2023 and then be remanded back to the Faculty. Bethel University respects the dignity of all God’s image-bearers, and stands against racism, prejudice, and discrimination. Because Christ calls us to love our neighbor as ourselves, Christian discipleship includes pursuing the good of those who suffer injustice due to their color, race, or ethnicity. Therefore, we aim to continually transform our classrooms into safe and hospitable spaces where we listen to one another with mercy, learn from and value each other with tenacity, and commit to pursuing justice for the most vulnerable in our community.

Assignments

Added:
>
>		This course will be divided into two section. Section one (Mondays and Wednesdays) will be about computing. Section two (Fridays) will be about developing skills to be a good student and life long learner.

Computing work

This work is divided into exams and homework/activities. The dates of the exams will be found on the schedule in the syllabus.

Activities will be announced in class and typically turned in via canvas. The canvas assignment will typically just have the name and due date. All work needs to be turned in as a pdf document. Any work turned in with a different format will be rejected and will need to be turned in late with a 10% penalty the first time, 20% the second, and rejected after that. There will probably be quizzes and other assignments made.

Two assignments are as follows. The due dates are found in canvas (by midterm and before the final exam week). Announcements will not be made in class. You are responsible to track these yourself. Standard late policy will apply to these assignments.
You are to react to current events/publications. A reaction to an article includes enough to convince me that you have read the entire article and not just the headline or first paragraph. It should include s summary of what was said and your reaction. Be sure to give a complete reference to the item. These should be turned in as a hard copy in class within one week of the item being published. You may pick when. Each one does have a deadline. The ones you pick must be unique to this course
  1. Write a reaction to one article in the ACM TechNews. This needs to be completed by midterm.
  2. Write a reaction to one article in XRDS. This needs to be completed before the final.

Campus Integrity Policy

The student handbook (p. 156) states: “Any act of deceit, falsehood or stealing by unethically copying or using someone else’s work in an academic situation is strictly prohibited.

  1. A student found guilty of plagiarism or cheating will receive an “F”(zero) for that particular paper, assignment or exam. Should this occur, the professor will have an interview with the student and will submit a written report of the incident to the academic dean.
  2. If a second offense should occur, the student will be asked to appear before the professor, the academic dean and the vice president for student development.

The student should realize that at this point continuation in a course and even his/her academic career may be in jeopardy. In the event of a recommendation for dismissal, the matter shall be referred to the Student Development Committee.”

Covid Policy

Everyone should follow the current Bethel University covid policy. See: https://www.betheluniversity.edu/intheknow for details

Services

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a law which provides civil rights protection for people with disabilities. Bethel University, in compliance with equal access laws, requests that students with disabilities seeking to acquire accommodations make an appointment with the Center for Academic Success—Disability Services. It is located in the Miller-Moore Academic Center, 033. You may also phone 574-807-7460 or email rachel.kennedy@betheluniversity.edu for an appointment.

DEI Statement

During this particularly difficult time, this statement momentarily underscores and deepens what is expressed in the Lifestyle Covenant regarding the dignity of all humans. The statement will remain in all Bethel Faculty syllabi until spring 2023 and then be remanded back to the Faculty. Bethel University respects the dignity of all God’s image-bearers, and stands against racism, prejudice, and discrimination. Because Christ calls us to love our neighbor as ourselves, Christian discipleship includes pursuing the good of those who suffer injustice due to their color, race, or ethnicity. Therefore, we aim to continually transform our classrooms into safe and hospitable spaces where we listen to one another with mercy, learn from and value each other with tenacity, and commit to pursuing justice for the most vulnerable in our community.
