This course requires students to have access to a Windows 10 PC or Mac computer (desktop or laptop) with Wi-Fi connectivity. Additionally, students must have technology that allows audio and video transmission to facilitate faculty and student interaction important for learning. A web camera and headset or microphone are expected course tools. During class meetings on Zoom or other video conference system, students may be required to be visually seen and/or heard. Class sessions may be recorded and made available for educational use in this course. Students may use appropriate virtual backgrounds when participating in virtual sessions. If students require accommodations due to a restriction against participating in any audio or video recordings, speak to the faculty and seek guidance from Care & Community Standards to be directed to the appropriate office for accommodations. We will use Zoom and Blackboard, Microsoft teams and other technology in this course. Specifically, we will use Blackboard to host course documents including the syllabus and conduct class activities such as discussions, assignment submission and taking tests. Zoom will serve as our virtual classroom. It is important to follow all instructions related to the use of course technology. Blackboard : Do not share your Blackboard username and password. All content in Blackboard belongs to the course and may not be recorded, copied or provided to others. Review the available tutorials to help you navigate Blackboard. If you are planning to access Blackboard with a mobile device, download the app from the App Store (iphone/iPad) or from Google Play (Android phones and tablets). The Blackboard app permits you to view course content, take tests (unless Respondus is required) and obtain your grades. Zoom : Students will join Zoom sessions using the link provided in Blackboard. Faculty may record Zoom sessions for use as part of the course. Faculty will delete course recordings 60 days after the semester ends. Students may not record, share, or retain any Zoom sessions without written permission from the course instructor. Zoom session information including session passwords may not be shared with anyone outside of class as a protection against zoombombing and unauthorized viewing of course materials. Expectations for Technology Use Technology is an essential delivery method of course instruction and part of our learning environment. However, when used inappropriately, technology may hinder learning. If sharing your computer screen during a scheduled videoconference session, only display information pertaining to the course content. Students may not share videoconference session information with anyone who is not a member of the course. Inappropriate use of technology can be distracting to your peers, causing negative effects on the learning environment. Respect for your peers and faculty is expected. For information about online netiquette, review https://coursedesign.colostate.edu/obj/corerulesnet.html . Technology may not be used to record class material without prior approval of the faculty or your peers. Recorded video or audio may be permitted for a student with appropriate accommodations and may not be shared in any public manner. Materials recorded for personal use are to be deleted at the end of the semester unless written permission is provided by the faculty. Testing Using Respondus This course requires students to have a webcam, microphone and the Respondus Lock Down Browser to complete specific course assessments such as exams, tests, or quizzes. Audio and video information during the assessment period may be recorded for security purposes. Note: downloading the Respondus Lock Down Browser and providing consent to record your assessment session will be required to take exams in this course. Continuity Planning Emergency closings and course cancellations/modifications may occur for a variety of reasons including inclement weather, virus outbreak, and other unforeseen events. If we have an emergency and cannot use our typical course communication methods, faculty will communicate via your Stockton email account. The email will contain instructions about continuing our learning during the emergency situation. General Expectations For each four-credit course, students should expect to complete 8 hours of work outside of the classroom for readings, studying, and completing assignments. The purpose of learning activities and assignments is to prepare, practice, reinforce, or apply acquired skills and knowledge. Completing this work assists students in fully benefitting from the learning opportunities provided by this course. Students are expected to develop good time management/organizational skills, effective study skills and complete assignments in a manner responsive to the instructions provided to enhance learning of course content. 4

BSHS Course-Related Grievance/Grade Appeal Procedure Students who feel they have been treated or graded unfairly in a Health Science course should implement the following procedure to seek resolution of the issue. It is important to follow this procedure in this order: 1. Discuss the problem/issue with the course faculty member directly and attempt to resolve the problem, unless it is inappropriate to do so (i.e., discrimination, see #5 below). 2. After attempting to resolve the issue with the course faculty member and having no resolution, the student should complete a School of Health Sciences https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeg06ON4GC9L- wZ9GKckJ5DZ2fOg1XLL2QOhi5e2BV9KL17_A/viewform (follow the link to access the form). The grievance/grade appeal will be reviewed by the Assistant Dean of the School of Health Science, and/or a designee. 3. If it is not possible to achieve resolution with the Assistant Dean, the student should then contact the Dean of the School of Health Sciences, Brent Arnold, for resolution ( Brent.Arnold@stockton.edu ). 4. If the Dean is unable to resolve the matter the student may submit an appeal to the Office of the Provost at academic.appeals@stockton.edu . 5. For grievances regarding discrimination/civil rights issues and other Campus Code of Conduct Violations, see the Student Policy Prohibiting Discrimination and Harassment in the Academic/Education Environment and/or contact the Equal Opportunity & Institutional Compliance . 7
