There are eight discussion questions. The opening date and end date of discussion are indicated.

4.3 Efforts Expected

Students can expect to work about three to five hours per day five days a week. This means students may spend about 15-25 hours a week on online discussions, readings, assignments, final paper, and other activities. Students that find themselves spending substantially more than 25 hours on average per week or falling behind are strongly urged to contact the instructor as soon as possible.

4.4 Online Participation and Communication

Each student is expected to have an email account for this class. Blackboard messages aka Message Mail Box or Ask A Question are the methods for communicating with the instructor concerning the course, assignments, questions, and readings. Each student must also subscribe to IST-L (the Information Science listserv) (http://www.albany.edu/informationstudies/ist_listservs.php ).

Students are required to use Blackboard to read course materials, including assignments, submit assignments electronically, and contribute to online discussions.

7.2 Class Conduct

Availability: The instructor will be available for student consultation during office hours, by appointment, and online using Blackboard. Students are expected to check Blackboard messages (internal) at least once every day to see whether the instructor is trying to reach them. Students should not assume that instructor is online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to answer your questions immediately (even though the instructor will try to communicate as quickly as possible).

Courtesy: In class (online) discussions the instructor and students are expected to demonstrate professional behavior. This means cooperating and interacting in a courteous, supportive, and tactful manner based on mutual respect for each other's ideas.

7.3 Plagiarism and Academic Dishonesty/Misconduct

The instructor of this course has a zero tolerance policy for academic dishonesty, plagiarism (http://library.albany.edu/usered/plagiarism/ ) and cheating. As a policy for this course, plagiarism, self-plagiarism or cheating will result in a failing grade for the course. In addition, the instructor will pursue further disciplinary action at the University level including reporting to the Office of Conflict Resolution & Civic Responsibility (http://www.albany.edu/judicial_affairs/ ) according to the policies set forth in the current University at Albany Undergraduate Bulletin or University at Albany Graduate Bulletin, whichever is applicable to the student. The instructor abides by and enforces all relevant University at Albany policies.

Academic misconduct includes cheating, plagiarism and other unethical and illegal activities. Students are encouraged to form study groups and to talk about assignments and readings. Learning by interacting with one another—support and help one another. Nonetheless, students are expected to give credit where credit is due by citing the work and ideas of others in papers that they write. If you are not sure about what constitutes academic dishonesty, ask the instructor or err on the side of citing more than you think necessary.

The Department of Information Science takes academic dishonesty very seriously. Before taking classes within the Department of Information Science, you should familiarize yourself with the Department’s academic dishonesty policy, available in both the Department’s graduate handbook and online at http://www.albany.edu/content_images/Academic_Dishonesty.pdf. Professors reserve the right to add to the Department’s policy as they see appropriate.
