Course policy ‘Course and university policies include: Attendance: Students are expected to attend all scheduled class sessions with all required reading and supplementary materials. Readings are to be completed prior to class. ‘The student won't obtain additional points for course attendance, but the attendance is important to pass the course. In ease the student is not able to attend the classes for some reasons, he/she must inform the dean’s office in advance and the student is responsible for learning all ‘materials, which were given during unattended lessons, In case if the student did not attend more than 20% of the classes without any reasonable excuses, the teacher has a right tomark him as “not graded”, and the student wouldn't beadmitted to the exam, In other words, students must participate in at least 80% of all class time, otherwise he/she fails the course Preparation for Class: Class participation is a very important part of the leaming process in this course. Although not explicitly grade, students will be evaluated on the QUALITY of their contributions and insights, Quality comments possess one or more of the following properties: = Offers a different and unique, but relevant, perspective; = Contributes to moving the discussion and analysis forward; - Builds on other comments. Class work: The duration of each lecture and practical lesson is SO minutes for offline class, and 40 minutes for online class. Students are expected to complete all readings and assignments ahead of time, attend class regularly and participate in class discussions. In case of systemic student's misconduet, the student would be dispensed from the classes. Being late on class: When students come to class late, it can disrupt the flow of a lecture or discussion, distract other students, impede learning, and generally erode class morale. Moreover, if left unchecked, lateness can become chronic and spread throughout the class. By the policy of this course, students who come late to class for more than 5 minutes are rot allowed (o get in to class and consequently, they will be marked as “absent” for the specific hour, Attestation T and IT: Students with score less than 25% for Attestation period I of Attestation period II (RK 1/RK2) are automatically failed and should take the course again.Home work / Assignments: The assignments are designed to acquaint students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required for the course. The textbook readings will be supplemented with materials collected from recent professional articles and journals, In case of using someone's work (papers, articles, any publications), all works must be properiy cited. Failure to cite work will be resulted as a cheating from the students and may be a subject of additional disciplinary measures. Late assignments: Most assignments will be discussed in class on the duedate, therefore late assignments will not receive eredit. Itis expected that all work will be submitted on time, Failure to pass assignments in on time will result in 0% for the assignment. In other words, no late submissions are allowed. All gradings are based using a percentage grading scale, In the event of some extraordinary event, students should notify the teacher and request an extension of the deadline. If approved, a new date will be given to the student depending upon the circumstances. Final exam: The final exam for the course «Information Communication Technologies» is a final group project, ‘The project materials must be submitted in the Leaming Management System (moodle.astanait.edu.kz) Laptops and mobile devices can only be used for classroom purposes when directed by the teacher, Misuse of laptops or handheld devices will be considered a breach of discipline and appropriate action will be initiated by the teacher ‘Online lessons can be used in case if there won't be a chance to make offline traditional lessons. It must not discourage the interest and enthusiasm of students, The main software to run the online lessons is Microsoft Teams for video calls and live webinars, and Moodle (moodle.astanait.edu.kz) as a Learning Management System. Also, some alternatives such as Skype or Telegram messenger may be involved as an additional workaround. Cheating and plagiarism are defined in the Academie conduct poli of the university and include 1. Submitting work that is not your own papers, assignments, or exams; 2. Copying ideas, words, or giaphies from a published or unpublished source without appropriate citation; 3. Submitting or using falsified data; 4, Submitting the same work for credit in two courses without prior consent of both instructors. ies ‘Any student who is found cheating or plagiarizing on any work for this, ‘course will receive 0 (zero) for that work and further actions will also be taken regarding academic conduct policies of the university. Academic Conduct Policies of the university: The full texts of al the academic conduct code will be posted to the students using Learning ‘Management System (mood le.astanait.edw.k2).Contacting the Instructor (Teacher): The easiest and most reliable ‘way to get in touch with the teacher is by email. Students must feel free to send email if you have a question related to the course. The teachers will respond as soon as they can but notalways instantancously. Besides that, students are also welcomed to arrange a one-to-one meeting with the teacher by their office during office hours to discuss the class using both offline and online ways. 3._Course Content # Abbreviation Meaning l TSIS ‘Teacher-supervised independent work 2 SIS ‘Students’ independent work 3 IP Individual project 4 PA Practical assignment 5 LW __| Laboratory work 6 MCQ Multiple choice quiz 3.1 Lecture, practical/seminar/laboratory se: plans Lectu | Practice | Lab. | TSIS | SIS Week res sessions | sessio | (H/W | (H/ Ne Course Topic caw | (HW) ms >) |w 0 ) cay) 1 Introduction to the Course and Policies 2. 2 0 2 9 Introduction to ICT. a.

Methodological Guidelines Assessment is administered continuously throughout the course. The students are rated against their performance in continuous rating administered throughout the semester (60%) and summative rating done during the examination session (40%), total 100%, Continuousrating is students? on-going performance in class and independent work. Class work is assessed for at ndance, laboratory works’ defense and in- class assessments. ‘TSIS (Teacher Supervised Student Independent Study) - comprises presentation to be done by students independently and checked by the instructor. Midterm and Endterm are reviews of the topics covered and assessment of cach student's knowledge. The form is a multiple-choice quiz, Final assessment: The final exam for the course «Information Communication Technologics» is a final project. The project materials must be submitted in the Leaming Management System (moodle.astanait.edu.k2).
