7.

5. Course Design
Many of the topics covered in this course are contemporary in nature and not
adequately covered by any single text book. Due to this contemporary nature,
extensive online reading and material may be reviewed. Students are strongly
recommended to attend lectures as not all material necessary for exams and
assignments may appear on printed lecture notes, but instead may be drawn
from articles and postings that are cited and discussed during lectures. Thus,
students will need to take comprehensive notes during lectures or be prepared to
obtain another students notes for any missed lectures. For missed lectures, it is
the responsibility of the student to obtain such notes from another student and
NOT from the instructor.
Online interactive computer tools will be used during lectures, thus students must
bring their laptop with them to lectures and it is strongly encouraged to bring an
internet cable to help reduce lag time due to the slower wireless transfer speeds.

10. Accessibility
Students with disabilities may request to be considered for formal academic
accommodation in accordance with the Ontario Human Rights Code. Students
seeking accommodation must make their requests through Student Accessibility
Services. Requests must be made in a timely manner, and students must provide
relevant and recent documentation to verify the effect of their disability and to
allow the university to determine appropriate accommodations.
Accommodation decisions will be made in accordance with the Ontario Human
Rights Code. Accommodations will be consistent with and supportive of the
essential requirements of courses and programs, and provided in a way that
respects the dignity of students with disabilities and encourages integration and
equality of opportunity. Reasonable academic accommodation may require
instructors to exercise creativity and flexibility in responding to the needs of
students with disabilities while maintaining academic integrity.
11. Academic Integrity
Students and faculty at UOIT share an important responsibility to maintain the
integrity of the teaching and learning relationship. This relationship is
characterized by honesty, fairness and mutual respect for the aim and principles of
the pursuit of education. Academic misconduct impedes the activities of the
university community and is punishable by appropriate disciplinary action.
Students are expected to be familiar with and abide by UOITs regulations on
Academic Conduct (Section 5.15 of the Academic Calendar) which sets out the
kinds of actions that constitute academic misconduct, including plagiarism,
copying or allowing ones own work to copied, use of unauthorized aids in
examinations and tests, submitting work prepared in collaboration with another
student when such collaboration has not been authorized, among other academic
offences. The regulations also describe the procedures for dealing with
allegations, and the sanctions for any finding of academic misconduct, which can
range from a resubmission of work to a failing grade to permanent expulsion from
the university. A lack of familiarity with UOITs regulations on academic conduct
does not constitute a defense against its application.
Further information about academic misconduct can be found in the Academic
Integrity link on your laptop. Extra support services are available to all UOIT
students in academic development, study skills, counseling, and peer mentorship.
More information on student support services can be found in the Academic
Calendar (Section 8).

12. Turnitin
UOIT and faculty members reserve the right to use electronic means to detect and
help prevent plagiarism. Students agree that by taking this course all assignments
are subject to submission for textual similarity review by Turnitin.com.
Assignments submitted to Turnitin.com will be included as source documents in
Turnitin.com's restricted access database solely for the purpose of detecting
plagiarism in such documents for five academic years. The instructor may require
students to submit their assignments electronically to Turnitin.com or the instructor
may submit questionable text on behalf of a student. The terms that apply to
UOIT's use of the Turnitin.com service are described on the Turnitin.com website.
Students who do not wish to have their work submitted to Turnitin.com must provide
with their assignment at the time of submission to the instructor a signed
Turnitin.com Assignment Cover sheet:

Further information about Turnitin can be found on the Academic Integrity link on
your laptop.
