Evaluation Criteria

Classroom Code of Conduct:

Students at Columbia College are expected to show respect for the rights of other students, in particular the right to study and learn. Any behavior in an online class that interferes with the instructor’s ability to conduct the class will be treated as disruptive; the penalties for disruptive behavior are set out in the College Calendar and include suspension and even expulsion from the College. In general, students are expected to be attentive and courteous during class and lab time, to complete assigned work and to accept responsibility for their own achievement. In particular:

1. Students will aim to arrive at all classes early to be ready when the class begins – this means logging in and getting out paper, pens, necessary texts (and e-texts) and so on before the class starts.

2. Students must agree to have their camera turned on during class (including quizzes, tests, exams, etc.) if requested by the Instructor.

3. Students should not use their student number during class time as a means of identifying themselves due to privacy reasons.

4. Students will not expect to leave the class before the instructor has finished. On those rare occasions when a student must leave a class early, he/she should seek the permission of the instructor before the class starts via email. If a student must excuse himself/herself during a class, the student should request permission via chat and leave as quietly as possible.

5. A secondary device may only be used during a class to engage in the class or source course material, unless given permission by the instructor.

6. Students will speak respectfully when asking a question or answering a question posed by the instructor or a student.

7. Students will communicate respectfully in discussion groups, during office hours and in any type of electronic communication.

8. Students will respond to emails/messages from the instructor or other classmates in a timely manner.

Cheating and Plagiarism Policy:

Columbia College expects all students to uphold the principle of academic honesty. Cheating and plagiarism (presenting another person’s words or ideas as one’s own) are not acceptable behaviour at any educational institution. Depending on the severity of the offense such acts can result in a grade of zero on the test or assignment, a failing grade (F) in the course, or expulsion from the college. In all cases, the circumstances and the penalty are recorded in the student’s file.
