4. Poll Time!  Throughout seminar, I may do a poll.  A poll window will pop up on your screen, with a question, and below you will have choices to select.  The purpose of polls is to reinforce key information that I feel is important for you to know.  Please do not type your answer in the class activity box for everyone to see.  The polls are completely anonymous, no one knows who votes how (including me), so don’t worry if you don’t get one right…it’s ok  The polls are completely anonymous, no one knows who votes how (including me), so don’t worry if you don’t get one right…it’s ok

6. Important! SCHOOL OF HEALTH SCIENCES (SHS) LATE POLICY (From Syllabus we reviewed in seminar for Unite 1) Late work will not be accepted unless there are clear and compelling extenuating circumstances. If you have extenuating circumstances that prevent you from completing course assignments/exams you must contact your instructor immediately—prior to the assignment/exam/quiz due-date unless prevented from doing so by emergency circumstances. Examples of extenuating circumstances are serious personal and/or family illness/hospitalization, death in the family, weather-related evacuation/emergencies, work emergencies, and issues related to active military assignment. Personal computer/software/internet connectivity issues and course blocks are not considered extenuating circumstances. Granting of late-work submission due to extenuating circumstances is at the discretion of the instructor and will require documentation for verification of extenuating circumstances. If late work submission is granted, the instructor will establish new due-dates and requirements without loss of course points.

7. Check Doc Sharing

8. PLAGIARIZM POLICY In essence, plagiarism is the theft of someone else’s ideas and work. Whether a student copies verbatim or simply rephrases the ideas of another without properly acknowledging the source, it is still plagiarism. A discussion thread, computer program, marketing plan, PowerPoint presentation, and other similar work produced to satisfy a course requirement are, like a paper, expected to be the original work of the student submitting it. Copying documentation from another student or from any other source without proper citation is a form of academic dishonesty, as is producing work substantially from the work of another. Students are subject to disciplinary action if they submit as their own work a paper purchased from a term paper company or downloaded from the Internet. Kaplan University subscribes to a third-party plagiarism detection service, and reserves the right to check all student work to verify that it meets the guidelines of this policy. Academic dishonesty is a serious offense and may result in the following sanctions: 1st offense: Failure of the assignment in which the action occurred. 2nd offense: Failure of the class in which the action occurred. 3rd offense: Expulsion or permanent dismissal from the University. Plagiarism charges remain on a student’s record permanently. Any offenses a student accumulates while completing a program will be carried over if and when a student reenrolls in a program or begins a new program at the University.
