Humanities 101 Winter 2021 Course Outline
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
According to ISEP, every instance of cheating or plagiarism leading to a resolution that impacts a
student’s grade must be reported by the teacher, with explanation, in writing, to the appropriate
Dean. (ISEP Section V-A)
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: (CEP., 2019) 12.a. The specific consequences for cheating and plagiarism in each
instructor’s course must respect the following Humanities Department policy: all instances of conduct
that instructors identify as academic misconduct, such as plagiarism and cheating on a graded
assignment, must be accompanied by a penalty and the student must be reported to the Dean’s office.
The most severe penalty that can be assigned for the first instance of academic misconduct is a 0% on
the given assignment without the penalty of a resubmission.”
Students are expected to foster their own learning by preparing for class, taking notes, asking questions,
engaging in discussions, collaborating in group work, and completing all assignments. Every lecture by
the teacher will be followed by 20 -30 minutes of class discussion.
During the class time, if the teacher asks students to keep their zoom video open (mainly for the
purposes of online identification), students will be obliged to comply. Noncompliance will result
in losing marks for participation.
To avoid noise during the class time, the student will be listening to the teacher sitting in a quiet place.
All electronic devices must be turned off and kept elsewhere. Laptops may be used.
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Students should refer to ISEP (Section III-C) regarding attendance.
You are expected to attend all classes. Failure to do so may seriously compromise your ability to pass the
course.
POLICY ON RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCES STATEMENTS (ISEP 2017, IV. A. 10. I): “Students observing religious holidays must
inform their teachers, in writing, as prescribed in the ISEP policy on Religious Observances, no later than the end of the second week of the
impacted semester or term. This applies both to the semester or term, as well as to any final examination period (ISEP section IV-D).”If
applicable, a statement indicating any modifications to planned course activities resulting from the teacher’s own religious observances must
be included as per ISEP Policy on Religious Observances (ISEP Section IV-D).”
TURNITIN
“To encourage a better understanding of academic integrity, Turnitin will be used in this course. Please
note that Turnitin, an internet-based plagiarism prevention tool, may keep a copy of the work submitted
but does not claim ownership of the work. If you have concerns about your work being submitted to
Turnitin for review, please see the teacher within the first two weeks of the semester.”
STUDENT CONDUCT: Everyone has the right to a safe and non-violent environment. Students are
obliged to conduct themselves as stated in the Student Code of Conduct and in the ISEP section on the
roles and responsibilities of students. (ISEP Section II-D)
ISEP: The Institutional Student Evaluation Policy (ISEP) is designed to promote equitable and effective
evaluation of student learning and is therefore a crucial policy to read and understand. The policy
describes the rights and obligations of students, faculty, departments, programs, and the College
administration regarding evaluation in all your courses, including grade reviews and resolution of
academic grievance. The ISEP is available on the Dawson website.
