Evaluación

1. Trabajos para realizar previo a cada taller 20%

Antes de cada taller los estudiantes deberán completar las tareas que están

asignadas en el modulo para cada taller. En adición el facilitador podrá

asignar ejercicios que le facilitarán la comprensión de los conceptos que se

desarrollarán en las actividades que se realizarán en el taller. Estos serán un

escogido de ejercicios del libro de texto o de la búsqueda en Internet de

información básica conceptual que le ayudará en el proceso de comprensión

de los temas bajo estudio. Estas tareas se entregarán a partir de la primera

reunión. Este es un trabajo individual; no se aceptaran copias del Internet o

de las direcciones electrónicas utilizadas. (Ver Anejo A: Política de

Honestidad Académica). Cada trabajo tiene un valor de 100 puntos para un

total agregado de 500 puntos. La evaluación de estas tareas estará dividida

en 70% por contenido y 30% por objetivos de lenguaje. (Ver anejo B:

Rúbrica para evaluar tareas previas a los talleres). El/la estudiante que

entregue la tarea posterior al taller asignado tendrá un descuento de 20

puntos por cada reunión que pase posterior a la fecha de entrega.

2. Informe oral sobre trabajo investigativo 20%

Desde la primera hasta la cuarta reunión, el/ la estudiante tendrá la

oportunidad de trabajar en grupo. Cada grupo trabajará una situación que se

desarrollará y presentará de manera oral y escrita a la clase en el Taller

Cinco. Éste, será un trabajo en grupo. Sin embargo, la evaluación

considerará ambas variables, de desempeño individual y grupal.

Dependiendo de la cantidad de estudiantes matriculados en el curso, el

facilitador seleccionará aleatoreamente hasta un máximo de seis (6) grupos

cuya composición no excederá cinco (5) estudiantes por grupo. Cada uno de

los grupos presentará a la clase el análisis del caso asignado. La

presentación oral grupal dicha situación o investigación tendrá un valor de

100 (cien) puntos. El facilitador deberá informar durante el Taller Dos, cuáles

serán los grupos para esta actividad. El facilitador le entregará a cada

estudiante una copia del caso que analizarán o los estudiantes seleccionaran



el tema para el estudio. Las actividades efectuadas en cada uno de los

talleres, proveerán las destrezas necesarias para que el estudiante pueda

contestar estos ejercicios. (Ver Anejo C: Rúbrica para la evaluación de la

presentación oral y escrita del trabajo en grupo). Las presentaciones

orales y actividades especiales no se pueden reponer, si el estudiante

presenta una excusa válida y corroborable (ejemplo: médica o de un

tribunal), se procederá a citarlo para un examen escrito de la actividad a la

cual no asistió.

3. Portafolio 20%

En el quinto taller, los estudiantes entregarán un portafolio. (Ver Anejo D:

Portafolio). Este trabajo tiene un valor de 100 puntos y se realizará

individualmente (Ver Anejo E: Rúbrica para la evaluación del Portafolio).

El facilitador informara durante el taller uno cuáles serán los trabajos que se

incluirán en el portafolio, el cual incluira un ensayo corto sobre las

aplicaciones de los conceptos estadisticos en el area de las ciencias

sociales. Las actividades efectuadas en cada uno de los talleres, brindarán

las destrezas necesarias para que el estudiante pueda desarrollar el

portafolio.

4. Dominio de competencia conceptual 20%

Durante el cuarto taller los estudiantes tomaran una prueba escrita en el

salon de clases. La misma constará de una selección de ejercicios prácticos

y preguntas que fortalecerán las destrezas y conceptos presentados y

estudiados en el curso. Esta prueba tendrá un valor de 100 puntos.

5. Asistencia y Participación diaria en cada taller 20%

La asistencia a todos los talleres es necesaria e indispensable, dos o más

ausencias equivalen a fracaso del curso. El/la estudiante deberá demostrar

responsabilidad por su proceso de aprendizaje y deberá siempre traer los

materiales asignados. En caso de ausencia, el/la estudiante debe realizar

todas las gestiones necesarias para comunicarse con el facilitador, de

manera que pueda prepararse adecuadamente para la próxima reunión.

Todas las actividades realizadas en el taller ausente, sujetas a evaluación,



serán consideradas y ponderadas de acuerdo con los parámetros

específicos. Es decir, es vigente la pérdida de puntuación por cada trabajo

del cual no fue partícipe el/la estudiante por causa de la ausencia. (Ver

Anejo J: Parámetros Específicos para Evaluar Asistencia y

Participación).

Escala de evaluación:

La evaluación final se calculará a base de promedios ponderados, pero

considerando la escala estándar de porcientos.

Nota A B C D F

Porciento 100-90 89-80 70-79 60-69 59-0

NOTA:

El estudiante debe obtener una calculadora científica, ya que es una de las

herramientas principales para poder realizar eficientemente las tareas y

actividades provistas para cada taller.

Dominio de Computadora

Se requiere el uso y manejo básico de computadoras personales para

realizar exploración de direcciones electrónicas, trabajos computadorizados,

mantener comunicaciones electrónicas entre otras tareas. Cada estudiante

será responsable de realizar trabajos computadorizados, buscar la

informacion de la clase en Blackboard y mantener activo el correo

electrónico de la Universidad.



Descripción de las Normas del Curso

1. Este curso sigue el modelo “Discipline-Based Dual Language Immersion

Model®” del Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez, el mismo esta

diseñado para promover el desarrollo de cada estudiante como un

profesional bilingüe. Cada taller será facilitado en inglés y español,

utilizando el modelo 50/50. Esto significa que cada taller deberá ser

conducido enteramente en el lenguaje especificado. Los lenguajes serán

alternados en cada taller para asegurar que el curso se ofrece 50% en

inglés y 50% en español. Para mantener un balance, el módulo debe

especificar que se utilizarán ambos idiomas en el quinto taller, dividiendo

el tiempo y las actividades equitativamente entre ambos idiomas. Si un

estudiante tiene dificultad en hacer una pregunta en el idioma

especificado, bien puede escoger el idioma de preferencia para hacer la

pregunta. Sin embargo, el facilitador deberá contestar la misma en el

idioma designado para ese taller. Esto deberá ser una excepción a las

reglas pues es importante que los estudiantes utilicen el idioma

designado. Esto no aplica a los cursos de lenguaje que deben ser

desarrollados en el idioma propio todo en inglés o todo en español según

aplique.

2. El curso es conducido en formato acelerado, eso requiere que los

estudiantes se preparen antes de cada taller de acuerdo al módulo. Cada

taller requiere un promedio de diez (10) horas de preparación y en

ocasiones requiere más.

3. La asistencia a todos los talleres es obligatoria. El estudiante que se

ausente al taller deberá presentar una excusa razonable al facilitador. El

facilitador evaluará si la ausencia es justificada y decidirá como el

estudiante repondrá el trabajo perdido, de ser necesario. El facilitador

decidirá uno de los siguientes: permitirle al estudiante reponer el trabajo o

asignarle trabajo adicional en adición al trabajo a ser repuesto.

Toda tarea a ser completada antes del taller deberá ser entregada en la

fecha asignada. El facilitador ajustará la nota de las tareas repuestas.



4. Si un estudiante se ausenta a más de un taller el facilitador tendrá las

siguientes opciones:

a. Si es a dos talleres, el facilitador reducirá una nota por debajo

basado en la nota existente.

b. Si el estudiante se ausenta a tres talleres, el facilitador reducirá la

nota a dos por debajo de la nota existente.

5. La asistencia y participación en clase de actividades y presentaciones

orales es extremadamente importante pues no se pueden reponer. Si el

estudiante provee una excusa válida y verificable, el facilitador

determinará una actividad equivalente a evaluar que sustituya la misma.

Esta actividad deberá incluir el mismo contenido y componentes del

lenguaje como la presentación oral o actividad a ser repuesta.

6. En actividades de grupo el grupo será evaluado por su trabajo final. Sin

embargo, cada miembro de grupo deberá participar y cooperar para lograr

un trabajo de excelencia, pero recibirán una calificación individual.

7. Se espera que todo trabajo escrito sea de la autoría de cada estudiante y

no plagiado. Se debe entender que todo trabajo sometido esta citado

apropiadamente o parafraseado y citado dando atención al autor. Todo

estudiante debe ser el autor de su propio trabajo. Todo trabajo que sea

plagiado, copiado o presente trazos de otro será calificado con cero (vea

la política de honestidad académica).

8. Si el facilitador hace cambios al módulo o guía de estudio, deberá

discutirlos y entregar copia a los estudiantes por escrito al principio del

primer taller.

9. El facilitador establecerá los medios para contactar a los estudiantes

proveyendo su correo electrónico, teléfonos, y el horario disponibles.

10. EL uso de celulares esta prohibido durante las sesiones de clase; de

haber una necesidad, deberá permanecer en vibración o en silencio.

11. La visita de niños y familiares no registrados en el curso no está permitida

en el salón de clases.



12. Todo estudiante esta sujeto a las políticas y normas de conducta y

comportamiento que rigen al SUAGM y el curso.

Filosofía y Metodología Educativa

Este curso está basado en la teoría educativa del Constructivismo.

Constructivismo es una filosofía de aprendizaje fundamentada en la premisa, de

que, reflexionando a través de nuestras experiencias, podemos construir nuestro

propio conocimiento sobre el mundo en el que vivimos.

Cada uno de nosotros genera nuestras propias “reglas “y “métodos

mentales” que utilizamos para darle sentido a nuestras experiencias. Aprender,

por lo tanto, es simplemente el proceso de ajustar nuestros modelos mentales

para poder acomodar nuevas experiencias. Como facilitadores, nuestro enfoque

es el mantener una conexión entre los hechos y fomentar un nuevo

entendimiento en los estudiantes. También, intentamos adaptar nuestras

estrategias de enseñanza a las respuestas de nuestros estudiantes y motivar a

los mismos a analizar, interpretar y predecir información.

Existen varios principios para el constructivismo, entre los cuales están:

1. El aprendizaje es una búsqueda de significados. Por lo tanto, el aprendizaje

debe comenzar con situaciones en las cuales los estudiantes estén buscando

activamente construir un significado.

2. Significado requiere comprender todas las partes. Y, las partes deben

entenderse en el contexto del todo. Por lo tanto, el proceso de aprendizaje

se enfoca en los conceptos primarios, no en hechos aislados.

3. Para enseñar bien, debemos entender los modelos mentales que los

estudiantes utilizan para percibir el mundo y las presunciones que ellos

hacen para apoyar dichos modelos.

4. El propósito del aprendizaje, es para un individuo, el construir su propio

significado, no sólo memorizar las contestaciones “correctas” y repetir el

significado de otra persona. Como la educación es intrínsicamente

interdisciplinaria, la única forma válida para asegurar el aprendizaje es hacer

del avalúo parte esencial de dicho proceso, asegurando que el mismo

provea a los estudiantes con la información sobre la calidad de su

aprendizaje.

5. La evaluación debe servir como una herramienta de auto-análisis.



6. Proveer herramientas y ambientes que ayuden a los estudiantes a interpretar

las múltiples perspectivas que existen en el mundo.

7. El aprendizaje debe ser controlado internamente y analizado por el

estudiante.

Evaluation

1. Assignment to do previous to each workshop 20%

Previous to each workshop students must finish certain assignments that will

help them to prepare for the activities in the workshop. The assignments will

consist of Internet sites research related of basic conceptual information

provided in the module that will help the learning of the workshop objectives.

Additionally, the student will complete the assigned exercises that will help

him/her in the learning process to understand and apply specific concepts

that will be developed in the activities at each workshop. These exercises will

be a selection of problems from the textbook selected by the facilitator. The

assignments must be submitted starting at the first meeting. This must be an

individual work; copies from the Internet or from the URLs used will not be

accepted. (See Appendix A: Academic Honesty Policy). Each assignment

will be worth one hundred (100) points for an accumulated score of five

hundred (500) points. The evaluation of these assignments will be 70% for

content and 30% for language objectives. (See Appendix B: Rubrics to

evaluate assignments prior to the workshops). The students that turn in

the assignments after the corresponding workshop will have a deduction of 20

points per each workshop that passes before the assignment is turned in

2. Oral presentation of group project 20%

From the first to the fourth meeting the students will have the opportunity to

work with different classmates in group assignments. Each group will work a

situation that will be developed and presented in oral and written form at

workshop five (5). This will be a group project. However, the evaluation will

consider both, the individual and group aspects. Based on the number of

students registered in the course, the facilitator will randomly select the

groups. There will be a maximum of six (6) groups and each group will not

exceed a total of five (5) students per group. Each group must present to the

class the analysis and results of their assigned case. The group oral

presentation of this assignment will be worth one hundred (100) points.

During Workshop Two, the facilitator will announce the groups for this activity.



The facilitator will provide a copy of the case to each of the students or the

students will select a topic for their investigation. The activities in each of the

workshops will provide the skills and knowledge required to do this activity.

(See Appendix C: Rubrics for evaluation of oral presentation and written

group work). The students will not be able to make-up the oral presentations

and special activities. If the student provides a valid and verifiable excuse

(example: medical and/or legal), a special written test will be provided on the

material for the presentation or activity that the student was absent

3. Portfolio 20%

In workshop five, the students will turn in a portfolio. (See Appendix D:

Portfolio). This activity will be done individually and will be worth one

hundred (100) points (See Appendix E: Rubric for Portfolio evaluation).

During workshop one the facilitator will inform the students the assigned work

to be included in the portfolio, this will include a short essay about the

application of statistics in the area of Social Science. The activities conducted

in each workshop will provide the students the skill and knowledge necessary

to do the portfolio.

4. Workshop Test 20%

On workshop four (4) the students will take a written test in the classroom.

This test will measure the knowledge acquired by the students at different

levels on the concepts of statistics. It will consist of a selection of practical

problems and questions that will measure the skills and knowledge learned

during the course. This written test is worth one hundred (100) points.

5. Attendance and Participation 20%

Attendance to workshops is mandatory; with two or more absences the

students will fail the class. The student should show responsibility for the

learning process and must complete all assigned work. In case of absence,

the student must contact the facilitator, in order to be ready for the next

workshop. All classroom activities done in his/her absence will be subject to

an evaluation based upon specific parameters. In other words, absenteeism



will produce loss of points. (See Appendix J: Specific parameters to

evaluate attendance and participation).

Grade Scale

The final grading will be calculated base on average grades within the

standard percentage scale.

Grade A B C D F

Score 100-90 89-80 70-79 60-69 59-0

NOTE:

The students MUST bring a Scientific Calculator, The use of a calculator is

required to do the assignments and the activities in each workshop. Students

must have their own calculator to work individually.

Use of Computers

The use of personal computers is required to conduct search of electronic

addresses, electronic files and maintain communication with other students.

Each student will be responsible for their electronic files, obtain information

about the class in Blackboard and maintain active the University electronic

mail (e-mail) address.



Description of course policies

1. This course follows the Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez Discipline-

Based Dual Language Immersion Model® designed to promote each

student’s development as a Dual Language Professional. Workshops will be

facilitated in English and Spanish, strictly using the 50/50 model. This means

that each workshop will be conducted entirely in the language specified. The

language used in the workshops will alternate to insure that 50% of the

course will be conducted in English and 50% in Spanish. To maintain this

balance, the course module may specify that both languages will be used

during the fifth workshop, dividing that workshop’s time and activities between

the two languages. If students have difficulty with asking a question in the

target language in which the activity is being conducted, students may choose

to use their preferred language for that particular question. However, the

facilitator must answer in the language assigned for that particular day. This

should only be an exception as it is important for students to use the assigned

language. The 50/50 model does not apply to language courses where the

delivery of instruction must be conducted in the language taught (Spanish or

English only).

2. The course is conducted in an accelerated format and requires that students

prepare in advance for each workshop according to the course module. Each

workshop requires an average ten hours of preparation but could require

more.

3. Attendance at all class sessions is mandatory. A student that is absent to a

workshop must present the facilitator a reasonable excuse. The facilitator will

evaluate if the absence is justified and decide how the student will make up

the missing work, if applicable. The facilitator will decide on the following:

allow the student to make up the work, or allow the student to make up the

work and assign extra work to compensate for the missing class time.

Assignments required prior to the workshop must be completed and turned in

on the assigned date. The facilitator may decide to adjust the grade given for

late assignments and make-up work.



4. If a student is absent to more than one workshop the facilitator will have the

following options:

a. If a student misses two workshops, the facilitator may lower one grade

based on the students existing grade.

b. If the student misses three workshops, the facilitator may lower two

grades based on the students existing grade.

5. Student attendance and participation in oral presentations and special class

activities are extremely important, as it is not possible to assure that they can

be made up. If the student provides a valid and verifiable excuse, the

facilitator may determine a substitute evaluation activity if he/she understands

that an equivalent activity is possible. This activity must include the same

content and language components as the oral presentation or special activity

that was missed.

6. In cooperative activities the group will be assessed for their final work.

However, each member will have to collaborate to assure the success of the

group and the assessment will be done collectively as well as individually.

7. It is expected that all written work will be solely that of the student and should

not be plagiarized. That is, the student must be the author of all work

submitted. All quoted or paraphrased material must be properly cited, with

credit given to its author or publisher. It should be noted that plagiarized

writings are easily detectable and students should not risk losing credit for

material that is clearly not their own (see Academic Honesty Policy).

8. If the Facilitator makes changes to the study guide, such changes should be

discussed with and given to students in writing at the beginning of the first

workshop.

9. The facilitator will establish a means of contacting students by providing an

email address, phone number, hours to be contacted and days.

10. The use of cellular phones is prohibited during sessions; if there is a need to

have one, it must be on vibrate or silent mode during class session.

11. Children or family members that are not registered in the course are not

allowed to the classrooms.



12. All students are subject to the policies regarding behavior in the university

community established by the institution and in this course.

Teaching Philosophy and Methodology

This course is grounded in the learning theory of Constructivism.

Constructivism is a philosophy of learning founded on the premise that, by

reflecting on our experiences, we construct our own understanding of the world in

which we live.

Each of us generates our own “rules” and “mental models,” which we use to

make sense of our experiences. Learning, therefore, is simply the process of

adjusting our mental models to accommodate new experiences. As teachers,

our focus is on making connections between facts and fostering new

understanding in students. We will also attempt to tailor our teaching strategies

to student responses and encourage students to analyze, interpret and predict

information.

There are several guiding principles of constructivism:

1. Learning is a search for meaning. Therefore, learning must start with the

issues around which students are actively trying to construct meaning.

2. Meaning requires understanding wholes as well as parts. And parts must be

understood in the context of wholes. Therefore, the learning process focuses

on primary concepts, not isolated facts.

3. In order to teach well, we must understand the mental models that students

use to perceive the world and the assumptions they make to support those

models.

4. The purpose of learning is for an individual to construct his or her own

meaning, not just memorize the "right" answers and regurgitate someone

else's meaning. Since education is inherently interdisciplinary, the only

valuable way to measure learning is to make the assessment part of the

learning process, ensuring it provides students with information on the quality

of their learning.

5. Evaluation should serve as a self-analysis tool.

“Política de Honestidad Académica”

Introducción

El Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez está comprometido a consolidar su posición e imagen como una comunidad de aprendizaje de alta calidad, centrada en el ser humano1 por lo que promueve un ambiente de total honestidad e integridad intelectual y académica. Es importante que el estudiante muestre respeto a los estándares institucionales, por lo que se espera que sólo tome crédito por trabajo realizado por sí mismo. No se tolerarán ni se aceptarán bajo ninguna circunstancia actos deshonestos y no éticos en el Sistema.

Definiciones

El Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez considera deshonestidad académica lo siguiente:

Fraude en pruebas académicas y falta de honradez (Reglamento de Estudiantes: Artículo VII)

o Hablar con otros estudiantes durante el periodo de examen o Utilizar o circular cualquier material impreso en el periodo de

examen.

Plagio total o parcial (Manual de Normas Académicas y Administrativas: Capítulo XII)

o Copiar información de otra persona y hacerla pasar como propia. Copia directa, sin entrecomillar ni anotar, de párrafos,

frases, una frase suelta o partes significativas de una frase Paráfrasis o el resumen de un fragmento sin mencionar,

mediante nota o cualquier otro procedimiento, su fuente o procedencia

El uso de una idea previamente publicada, por cualquier medio, sin referencia a su autor o procedencia

Falsificación (Reglamento de Estudiantes: Artículo VII) o Alterar la identificación estudiantil, calificaciones, expedientes y

cualquier otro documento oficial.

Procedimientos a seguir en casos de Deshonestidad Académica

Las faltas antes mencionadas serán consideradas como faltas graves. El Reglamento de Estudiantes: Artículo XIII define una falta grave como aquella que “cometiera un estudiante que afecte adversamente el orden institucional, y requiera una sanción mayor que una reprimenda o medidas correctivas”. En caso de que el estudiante incurra en alguna falta de honestidad académica se tomarán las medidas presentadas en el Reglamento de Estudiantes (Artículo VIII)

1 Visión SUAGM 2005



Un Consejo de Disciplina analizará el caso. En el campus principal este Consejo estará compuesto por dos representantes del área administrativa (Directores), dos del área académica (Profesores) y uno del área estudiantil (miembros de alguna organización estudiantil). En los Centros Universitarios estará compuesto por un representante del área administrativa, uno del área académica y uno del área estudiantil.

El Vicerrector de Asuntos Estudiantiles podrá iniciar una investigación previa de hechos y recibir un informe oral de un miembro del profesorado, oficial, empleado o estudiante de la Institución, sobre cualquier acto cometido que se considere una falta grave.

El proceso disciplinario se iniciará con la radicación oral o escrita de la queja por el Vicerrector de Asuntos Estudiantiles ante el Presidente del Consejo con copia de la notificación escrita o informe oral al estudiante afectado.

El Vicerrector podrá suspender provisionalmente al estudiante afectado, pero esta suspensión no excederá de veinte (20) días laborables.

El Presidente del Consejo convocará una reunión no más tarde del quinto día laborable, luego de la radicación de la queja, para informar a los miembros de la misma.

El Consejo celebrará una vista administrativa en presencia del estudiante (s) afectado (s). El estudiante podrá asistir con un abogado, pero se advertirá que la vista no será gobernada por procedimientos o normas de evidencia aplicables a vistas judiciales. En dicha vista el Vicerrector de Asuntos Estudiantiles y/o su representación legal presentarán toda la evidencia obtenida. El estudiante tendrá oportunidad de confrontar dicha evidencia y ofrecer otro tipo de prueba. Una vez finalizada la vista, el Consejo tomará una determinación y se le notificará por escrito al Rector, quien a su vez notificará al estudiante. El estudiante podrá apelar la determinación ante el Consejo en el término establecido.

El Presidente del Consejo notificará al estudiante y al Vicerrector de Asuntos Estudiantiles la determinación final del Consejo de Disciplina. En caso de que no se prueba la comisión de la falta se archivará el expediente.

Sanciones (Artículo VIII)

El Consejo de Disciplina podrá imponer una o más de las siguientes sanciones:

Amonestación escrita.

Establecer un periodo probatorio por un tiempo definido.

Suspensión de asistencia a todas o algunas de las clases por un término de tiempo establecido.

Suspensión de todos o algunos de los derechos como estudiante por un término fijo, dentro del semestre en curso.

Suspensión por el semestre en curso.

Suspensión por el año académico en curso o un término mayor.

Expulsión de la Institución.



Academic Honesty Policy Philosophy No aspect of the College is of greater importance than the maintenance of the highest level of academic honesty and integrity. Faculty members, by the character of their private and professional lives, help to set standards which students will emulate. Most specifically, the tone that they set in their individual courses can help to establish an atmosphere in which probity and honesty are taken for granted. Such an atmosphere as a pre-condition for generating, evaluating and discussing ideas, activities which guarantee the pursuit of truth and which are at the very heart of academic life. Definitions of Academic Dishonesty Procedure for Handling Cases of Academic Dishonesty Penalties Appeal Definitions of Academic Dishonesty Claiming others’ ideas as one’s own, failing to acknowledge their ideas, and engaging in other unethical practices that seriously disrupt the pursuit of truth constitute academic dishonesty, which has no place in the academy and will not be tolerated at SUAGM. The system defines these three forms of academic dishonesty as follows:

Cheating includes but is not limited to such in-class behaviors as copying from other students, use of books, notes or other devices not explicitly permitted and communication of answers or parts of answers during an examination.

Plagiarism usually occurs in the case of reports or papers prepared outside the classroom. Plagiarism has been committed whenever a student submits as his or her own work any material taken from others—whether printed, electronic or oral; whether quoted directly or paraphrased—without proper acknowledgment and documentation. Copying the work of other students, whether in hard copy or electronic form, is included in this definition. Faculty members should indicate clearly to their classes which style of documentation is to be used of citing printed, oral and electronic sources, the sixth edition of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (2003) is one source of instruction on how to cite both traditional documents and material taken from such electronic sources as the World Wide Web.

While most college students understand what plagiarism is and have learned how to document properly in high school, plagiarism is sometimes unconscious or unintended. Students who feel that they do not possess good bibliographic and citation skills should speak with their professors prior to submitting written



work. Ignorance may not be an excuse for violating the College rules banning plagiarism. When instructors permit collaboration between students in the preparation of reports, papers or other assignments, they should make clear to students just how much collaboration is permitted and whether or how credits is to be given for each person contributing to the project. Students who knowingly allow others to copy their work, either in or outside of class, will be subject to the same penalties for plagiarism and cheating as those defined above.

Other kind of dishonest academic behavior include but are not limited to the following: falsifying or forging excuses for absence from class of for failures to complete assignments; forging the signature of an academic advisor’ mutilating library materials; and submitting a paper (or two papers that are substantially the same) for credit in two different courses without prior agreement of the instructors involved. Faculty members who become aware of other forms of dishonesty that they deem directly related to academic performance should consult about whether to press charges with the person designated by the Office of Academic Affairs to serve as the academic honesty officer.

Procedure for Handling Cases of Academic Dishonesty When a faculty member has evidence of dishonesty academic behavior, above, he or she shall immediately speak with the student regarding the evidence. If after this conversation the faculty member has found evidence that the student has knowingly or with culpable negligence committed an act of academic dishonesty, he or she shall first so inform the student and than file a formal charge, the faculty member will provide the evidence that substantiates it to the academic honesty officer. Other members of the college community—staff or students—who become aware of dishonest behavior as defined above should consult with the academic honesty officer about whether and/or how to press charges. When the Office of Academic Affairs has received the formal charge from the faculty member, the academic honesty officer will schedule a meeting with the student and discuss both the charge and the evidence. If the academic honesty officer concurs that the student has committed the offense, he or she shall inform the student of the penalty in writing. Penalties When the first offence is related to an academic assignment—as in the cases of plagiarism, cheating and submitting the same paper twice without permission—the minimum penalty for the first offense shall be a zero for the work in question. The maximum penalty shall be failure in the course of courses concerned.



When the first offense is directly related to academic conduct but not to a specific assignment—as in the case of forging a signature—the academic honesty officer will determine an appropriate penalty. In either case, any additional offenses, which have not yet been reported and evaluated, may be brought up at that time by the student for simultaneously evaluation. Penalties for these additional violations will not be more severe than those for a first offense. If a student has been previously found guilty of academic dishonesty, any subsequent finding of academic dishonesty shall result in a failure for any course directly concerned and also in suspension from the College for a term determined by the academic honesty officer. If a student has been cleared of charges of academic dishonesty, no records regarding the case will be place in the student’s file. Appeal The student charged might ask for a review of the accusation, the evidence upon which it was base, or the penalty within two weeks after he or she has been notified of the respective charge or penalty. The Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty, the chair of the division concerned, and a faculty member nominated by the student shall constitute the Review Board. The board’s decision is final.

Guidelines to prepare the portfolio

1. Determination of sources of content

The following, but not limited to, documentation will be included:

a. Projects, surveys, and reports.

b. Oral presentations

c. Essays: dated writing samples to show progress

d. Research papers: dated unedited and edited first drafts to show

progress

e. Written pieces that illustrate critical thinking about readings: response

or reaction papers.

f. Class notes, interesting thoughts to remember, etc.

g. Learning journals, reflexive diaries.

h. Self assessments, peer assessments, facilitator assessments.

i. Notes from student-facilitator conferences.

2. Organization of documentation

Documentation will be organized by workshop, and by type of assignment

within workshops. Workshops will be separated from one another using

construction paper or paper of different colors, with tabs indicating the

workshop number.

3. Presentation of the portfolio

Documentation will be posted in a binder or in a digital version

(eportfolio).

The cover page will follow exactly APA guidelines applied to a

cover page of research papers submitted at Metro Orlando

Campus. This cover page will be placed at the beginning of the

portfolio.



The entire portfolio will follow APA style: Courier or Times New

Roman font, size 12, double space, and 1-inch margins. See a

“Publication Manual of the APA, Fifth Edition”

A log of entries that can be expanded with each new entry properly

numbered. The table, which should be located at the beginning,

should include a brief description, date produced, date submitted,

and date evaluated (Appendix F).

Introduction and conclusion of the income and outcome of the

portfolio.

A list of references and appendixes of all assignments included will

be added to the end of the portfolio.

The Portfolio Informational Sheet will be placed in the transparent

front pocket of the binder for identification purposes (Appendix E).

4. Student-Facilitator Feedback Template: Progression follow-up

The final step in implementing portfolios, before returning them to the student

or school life, is sharing feedback with each student to review the contents,

student reflections, and your evaluations of individual items and all of the

work together as related to learning targets (Banks, 2005).

Facilitators will e-mail a feedback template to all students. This template will

contain information pertaining to weaknesses and strengths found in students’

portfolios (Appendix I). Facilitators will focus their attention on showing

students what is possible and their progress rather than what is wrong;

however, this does not mean that facilitators will not cover weaknesses and

areas for improvement during the conference. Facilitators will send this

feedback template upon completion of workshop one.

Students will also have the opportunity to respond to the facilitator’s feedback

and write their own comments and/or ideas of how to improve the quality of

their portfolios, and how to become better metacognitive learners on the

feedback template. Students will e-mail the template with their comments

back to the facilitator after every workshop.



5. Portfolio storage:

Portfolio samples will be safely stored for a six-month term on campus.

Students will sign an official document empowering Ana G. Mendez

University System with rights to use their portfolios with educational or

accreditation purposes during this term (Appendix L).

After this term, and if their authors authorize Ana G. Mendez University

System to discard their portfolios by signing an official document,

portfolio samples will be destroyed; otherwise, they will be returned to

their original authors (Appendix M).
