Grading
Grading
Each lesson will also have various interactive components that will typically involve your production of documents that will be commented on by your course facilitator or others who are at a similar level to you in their coursework. After submission a final grade will be assigned by the course facilitator.
General Course Rubric
Each assignment will be graded according to a rubric which will give you feedback on whether the work you submitted meets the requirements or if there is more that should be done before you continue to the next assignment. We will use a rubric that ranges between 0-3, and each level means the following:
0- Incomplete or missing work. Work may not have been done or it may be missing significant portions of the assigned task. You may also receive a 0 if the work seems largely copied from other sources. Resubmit based on instructor/peer comments.
1- Partially Complete. The work is largely complete but missing specific items from the assignment. Resubmit based on instructor/peer comments.
2- Complete but could be improved. The assignment meets the minimum requirements and the assignment is considered complete, however it may be resubmitted for a higher grade if improvements are made. Optional resubmit based on instructor/peer comments.
3- Complete to the level appropriate to the assignment. The assignment is complete and no further improvements are needed. Assignment is considered finished.
Plagiarism is one of the most important challenges facing education today. It is trivially easy to access the internet at any time and find work that others have written on almost any topic. Since this is a class on professional ethics we will be taking this topic very seriously. We will be thinking a lot about intellectual property rights and open source programing. This can sometimes muddy a strict definition of plagiarism, but we can cut through that complexity by reading this article and paying close attention to the sections on Academic writing and Self Plagiarism. Once you have read about plagiarism, then write your own pledge that states your name, what you understand plagiarism to be, and then a statement of purpose that describes how you will not submit any work for a grade that is not your own.
Please post a statment where you pledge to not commit any acts of plagiarism into the comments box below.

I, Ashley Narciso, understand that partaking in plagiarism is dishonest and unethical.

In addition to being unethical, there are serious consequences that also come with partaking in plagiarism. I will not plagiarize at any point during this course or any other time in my life. I will properly cite my work and not claim anything to be of my own when it is not.
I, Samantha Noriega, pledge not to partake in plagiarism. Plagiarism is the act of one individual taking another's words, thoughts, ideas, or work and representing it as his/her own original work. I understand that plagiarism is wrong and a direct violation of ethics. I will be sure to take account for other's thoughts and ideas and will promise to stay on top of citing another author's work within my own, in order to give proper credit where it is due.

I, Haley Nicholson understand that plagiarism is wrong and unethical. Plagiarism is taking words, ideas and written content from another author and not giving them credit for their work. Throughout this course, I will turn in authentic work from my own ideas and if using quotes and ideas from another author, they will be properly cited and given credit.
I, Alison Prunauer, understand that Plagarism is the act of taking someone elses work and using it as your own. Plagarism takes the deserved credit of the author and grants it to someone who did not earn it. Any work I submit will be my own work and I will cite any work that does not belong to me to give proper credit to the original author.
