Examinations:Detailed exam reviews can be found on the course Blackboard web pages. Exams will consist of 50 questions (multiple-choice, and possibly some true/false questions). Last day to withdraw from the course May 22, 2013 – This is the last day to withdraw from the University or reduce course load. Students can withdraw or reduce course load after this date only for “urgent non- academic reasons.” Midterm grades will be available May 20, 2013

Examination Schedule: (all times are Lexington, KY time)

Examination 1: Thursday May 16, 2013 from 8am – 9am

Examination 2: Wednesday May 29, 2013 from 8am – 9am

Examination 3: Final Exam Tuesday June 4, 2013 from 8am – 9am

All examinations will be administered online during the above time periods. Please arrange work schedules accordingly. Problems associated with work schedules, childcare, parking, traffic, procrastination, over-sleeping or forgetfulness are not acceptable excuses for missing an exam . Make-up exams will only be given for excused absences as defined by University Senate Rules V, 2.4.2.and will consist of multiple-choice questions. Make-up exams will be administered at a single scheduled time. Make-up exams are scheduled for Monday June 3, 2013 from 8am – 9am in BS 202 (on campus). This is the ONLY time make-up exams

4

will be administered. A missed exam will result in a score of zero for that exam, unless an acceptable written excuse is presented at the next class meeting.

Exam scores will be posted in the grade book on BlackBoard by 5pm on the day of an exam. Questions and answer keys for exams 1 and 2 will be posted on BlackBoard at the same time as the exam scores are posted.

Check the Information on Examinations in the EXAMS section of Blackboard to confirm the topics/chapters covered on each examination. The posted “lecture” schedule usually has students working a little bit ahead of the exam schedule so that there is adequate time to process information before each exam.

ONLINE EXAMINATION INFORMATIONThe online exams will be submitted electronically through Mastering Microbiology and must be submitted by the stated deadline (9.00am). Each examination will consist of 50 multiple-choice or true/false questions. Each examination will be available beginning at 8am on the examination date. It is your responsibility to make sure that you access the material during that time period. You can only access the examination once. Once you access an examination you have 50 minutes in which to complete and submit it (the latest you should access an online examination is 8.08am). If you go over the time you will not be able to submit it and will receive an automatic score of zero for any questions not answered by that time. It is your responsibility to watch the time and submit the examination in time. The questions on the examination will be sequenced. You must submit an answer for the first question before you can move to the second question. The first answer you submit is the answer used in the determination of your grade – you cannot go back and change an answer once an answer is submitted. The online examination is an open book examination. Note: You have 50 minutes to answer 50 questions. Make sure you know the exam material before your start each examination as this 50-minute limit does not provide much time for looking up information. Online examinations will be automatically graded and your score will be available after the due time (9.00am). If you encounter problems when taking an exam: First try calling me at 257-7647 - I will be in my office during the entire examination period. If you are unable to contact me by phone: send me an e-mail and include a phone number where you can be reached. I will contact you ASAP.

AssignmentsThere are twelve assignments, which contribute towards your final grade. The specifics of each assignment are detailed on the course BlackBoard web pages (Click on ASSIGNMENTS). The assignments are administered through Mastering Microbiology. Each assignment will be available from the beginning of the semester. It is YOUR responsibility to ensure that you access each assignment in a timely manner so that you have enough time to adequately complete the assigned work.

Each assignment will normally consist of several interactive activities and tutorials that you will be required to work through. After you complete the activities/tutorials you will then answer some multiple choice questions. Each assignment is sequenced – you have to work through the activities in the set sequence – you cannot skip parts and jump ahead. Allow at least one hour to complete each assignment. It is important you check Blackboard for assignment format before beginning any assignment in Mastering Microbiology. Note: The first answer that you submit for any question is the answer used in the determination of your score for that assignment. You cannot go back and change an answer at a later date (even if it is before the deadline). Take your time and answer each question carefully.

5

WARNING: Once the deadline for submission of an assignment has passed, you will no longer be able to submit the assignment for a SCORE. The computer is very unforgiving – if you go past the deadline by even one second you will not receive a score for any questions not answered by the deadline. The computer/ software records the time of submission for the Instructor. Problems associated with printers, computers, corrupted files, parking, traffic, library services, loss of wireless signal, computer labs, procrastination, over-sleeping or forgetfulness are not acceptable excuses for late submission of assignments. It is YOUR responsibility to make sure that assignments are submitted on time. If you leave submitting the assignment to the last minute and then get caught out by unexpected events – this is not considered an excused late submission . If you are participating in a university-approved event on a due date, then you must submit the assignment before you leave campus/start that activity.

Submission of late assignments will only be permitted for excused absences as defined by University Senate Rules V, 2.4.2.. WRITTEN SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION regarding the late submission of an assignment MUST be presented to the course instructor within one week after a student returns to class/online after the excused absence otherwise an automatic score of zero will be earned for the assignment.

Scores for assignments will be available in Mastering Microbiology immediately following the deadline for submission of an assignment (10.00pm on due date). These scores will be transferred to the BlackBoard gradebook within 24 hours of the deadline for submission of a particular assignment.

If you have a concern regarding your posted score for an assignment or exam, you have 1 week from the day the scores are posted (in Blackboard) to contest that score. After one week the score remains as posted. It is your responsibility to check your scores in a timely manner and to follow-up immediately if you have a concern.

Mastering Microbiology (MM)

Mastering Microbiology is an online learning environment that provides an extensive array of review materials for the course. Each student is REQUIRED to have a Mastering Microbiology account. You cannot share your account with another student in the class. All assignments and exams are administered through Mastering Microbiology (MM). Failure to set up your MM account will result in automatic scores of zero for the assignments and exams.

To set up your MM account: follow the instructions on the last page of this syllabus.

In order to facilitate your introduction to the use of MM, there is a short (3 point) extra credit assignment available on MM. This assignment consists of three activities (each worth one point) that take you through how to use the various features of MM. In order to earn these three extra credit points you must complete the exercises and submit the results by 12 noon on May 10th 2013. You can still complete the exercise after that date but will no longer be eligible to earn the extra credit points.

In addition to the assignments, there are a number of additional no credit practice quizzes and pre-tests available to you. These are not worth points towards your final grade but should be used to determine your readiness for the exams.

Academic Offenses:PLAGIARISM and CHEATING are serious academic offenses. The following is an excerpt taken from the "Students Rights and Responsibilities Handbook, University of Kentucky" regarding cheating."Cheating is defined by its general usage. It includes, but is not limited to, the wrongful giving, taking, or presenting any information or material by a student with the intent of aiding himself/herself or another on any academic work which is considered in any way in the determination of the final grade."

The following is an excerpt taken from the "Students Rights and Responsibilities Handbook, University of Kentucky" regarding plagiarism."All academic work, written or otherwise, submitted by students to their instructors or other academic supervisors, is expected to be the result of their own thought, research, or self-expression. When students submit work purporting to be their own, but which in any way borrows ideas, organization, wording or anything else from another source without appropriate acknowledgment of the fact, the students are guilty of plagiarism.Plagiarism includes reproducing someone else's work........ If the words of someone else are used, the student MUST put quotation marks around the passage in question and add an appropriate indication of its origin. Making simple changes while leaving the organization, content and phraseology intact is plagiaristic."

Charges of an academic offense will be made against any student that cheats or commits plagiarism. Penalties for such an offense will be assessed according to University Regulations regarding Academic Offenses. The most severe penalties include suspension or dismissal from the University. I have a zero-tolerance policy regarding academic offenses.

NOTE* In addition to the circumstances listed above, the following activities are considered evidence of cheating:

1) Any talking to another student during an examination.

2) Looking at another students work during an examination, or allowing another student to look at your work.

7

3) Collaborating with another student on an examination and/or submitting an assignment that is similar in wording or sentence construction to the work of another student in the class, even if you acknowledge the participation of the other student. ALL SUBMITTED WORK MUST BE DONE BY YOU ALONE.

Course Policy on Course Civility and Decorum The university, college and department all have a commitment to respect the dignity of all and to value differences among members of our academic community.  There exists the role of discussion and debate in academic discovery and the right of all to respectfully disagree from time-to-time.  Students clearly have the right to take reasoned exception and to voice opinions contrary to those offered by the instructor and/or other students (S.R. 6.1.2).  Equally, a faculty member has the right -- and the responsibility -- to ensure that all academic discourse occurs in a context characterized by respect and civility.  Obviously, the accepted level of civility would not include attacks of a personal nature or statements denigrating another on the basis of race, sex, religion, sexual orientation, age, national/regional origin or other such irrelevant factors.

Unresolved Academic IssuesConsult the University of Kentucky Student Rights and Responsibilities regarding the steps for addressing unresolved academic issues.
