By multiplying the number of credit hours a course is worth by three clock hours’ instruction / preparation time, you can determine the minimum average per week for “time on task.” For example, in a 3-credit online course, you should plan on a minimum average of 9 hours per week of “time on task.” In online or blended courses, the “traditional” credit hour contact hours are defined by the number of hours of “time on task.” Time on task includes any time that students spend interacting with course materials and participating in learning activities, including but not limited to readings, projects, assignments, videos, student- student or student-professor interaction, and exams.

NSU’s faculty expect students to be honest and assume that work they submit will be generated individually. If you borrow work, directly or indirectly, you must cite the source. Failure to cite collaborations or presenting someone else’s work as your own is plagiarism. Using content generated by artificial intelligence services (such as Chatbot GPT) without proper citation is plagiarism. NSU’s libraryhas compiled this video about plagiarism and has multiple resources to assist students. Type “avoiding plagiarism” in the library search bar on the main page to see all that is available. The following resources discuss NSU’s plagiarism policies in more detail: Student Handbook and Code of Conduct, Student Rights and Responsibilities Policies and Procedures. If you are unsure about whether something may be plagiarism or another form of academic dishonesty, please reach out to your instructor to discuss. Mutual Respect NSU faculty seek to serve students from all backgrounds and perspectives so that students’ Learning needs are addressed both in and out of class and that the diverse perspectives and experiences students bring to class are viewed as a resource, strength, and benefit. We are diverse in many ways, and this diversity is key to building and maintaining an equitable and inclusive class community. Diversity can refer to multiple ways that we identify ourselves, including but not limited to race, color, national origin, language, sex, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, creed, ancestry, belief, veteran status, or socio- economic status. Faculty strive to present materials and activities that are respectful of that diversity. Your suggestions are encouraged and appreciated. Please reach out to your instructors if there are ways to improve the effectiveness of your courses. In addition, if you find that class meetings conflict with your religious events, please let your instructor know so they can work with you. Netiquette (Adapted from Daemon University QM Presentation. Eric Hill gave permission.) Netiquette is a set of rules for online behavior. To foster a respectful learning environment, all participants in a technology enhanced environment should keep in mind that all opinions and experiences, no matter how different or controversial they may be perceived, must be respected in the tolerant spirit of academic discourse. You are encouraged to comment, question, or critique an idea, but you are not to attack an individual. Working as a community of learners, we

can build a polite and respectful course community. Research on learning shows that unexpected noises and movements automatically divert and capture people’s attention. Please do your best to reduce distractions in your environment. This can be difficult but try to find a space as free from these distractions as possible, which may include silencing electronic notifications. For times when you will be on camera, please dress appropriately. If you have an academic need (or think you may have) such that you need to record class activities, please contact Student Disability Services to request an appropriate accommodation. The following netiquette tips will enhance the learning experience for everyone in the course: Avoid dominating any discussion; give other students the opportunity to join. Do not use offensive language; respectfully present or respond to ideas. Be cautious in using Internet or texting language and abbreviations. For example, avoid capitalizing all letters since this suggests shouting. Along the same lines, BTW (by the way) may not be a common abbreviation for all class members. Popular emoticons such as ☺ or / can be helpful to convey your tone but avoid overuse. Avoid using vernacular and/or slang language which can lead to misinterpretations. Never make fun of someone’s ability to read or write. Share tips with other students. Keep an “open mind” and be willing to express and respect minority opinions. Think and edit before you push the “Send” button. Do not hesitate to ask for feedback from peers and the instructor. Using humor is acceptable. Keep in mind that some tones such as sarcasm are often conveyed with voice intonation, not solely through written words.

Course Concerns or Complaints Students who wish to express a concern about a course or academic issue are encouraged to follow this process. Students who want to file a course grade appeal should consult the next section. • First, conference with the faculty member . Most concerns can be handled through dialogue with the course instructor. • Second, if the instructor is unable to resolve the issue, the student may talk with the department chair . If the student does not know who the department chair is, s/he can contact the registrar with the course prefix and number, and that office can provide the information. • Third, if the department chair is unable to resolve the issue, then the student is welcome to contact the assistant or associate dean . If the student does not know who the assistant / associate dean is, s/he can ask the department chair or contact the registrar. • Fourth, if the assistant / associate dean is unable to resolve the issue, the student may contact the college dean . It is important that the student initiate action (not parents, partners, or other relatives) and begin at the faculty or department chair level as most issues can be resolved there. Grade Appeal A student may petition a course grade change by using the Grade Appeals Timeline and Policy if satisfactory resolution cannot be achieved after informal grade review conferences with the instructor, department chair, and/or Dean’s office. The Grade Appeals Process must be formally initiated with a written appeal to the Dean within four months following awarding of the original course grade. Please contact the dean of the college in which the grade was given for a copy of the grade appeals process and the conditions which allow for the appeal of a course grade.
