Teacher Expectations
HIS-104 is a three-credit undergraduate course. It is my expectation that students will perform as college students. My intent is for all of us to engage collectively and collaboratively in the learning process while we explore the foundations of Western Civilization. This course is conducted online. There are 4 learning modules with a variety of learning activities. I expect your work to be completed by the assigned due dates. I expect you to log-on frequently to online discussions and take an active role in the learning process. If you don’t keep up with the course readings and activities, the course will move on without you. Do your assignments in advance of the discussions, otherwise, your lack of knowledge about the topic(s) being addressed will be obvious to me and to the other students.

Student Responsibilities

Participation
Read the assigned texts carefully and be prepared to discuss them: the more you prepare for each class, the more you will get out of it. Your thoughtful participation (questions, comments, and objections) is encouraged and will be welcomed. Assignment due dates will be posted on Blackboard. Assignments are to be submitted to the instructor via the method identified for each assignment. Some assignments will require a posting, participation in a discussion board, or submission of a written document or quiz. To receive full credit, all assignments must be posted in the appropriate assignment folder/location by the closing posting date. Rubrics for all assignments are posted in this syllabus below. Assignments will not be accepted beyond the due date unless you notify the instructor with an acceptable excuse and receive permission for submission beyond the due date.

Classroom NETtiquette
In the virtual classroom, you communicate with your classmates and instructor primarily in writing. Online manners are generally known as "netiquette." As a general rule, you should adhere to the same classroom conduct that you would "off-line" in a face-to-face course. Some examples of proper netiquette are:
Avoid writing messages in all capital letters. THIS IS GENERALLY UNDERSTOOD AS SHOUTING.
Be careful what you put in writing. Even if you are writing an e-mail message to one person, assume that anyone could read it. Though you may send an e-mail to a single person, it is very easy to forward your message to hundreds or thousands of people.
Grammar and spelling matter. Online courses demand the same standard of academic communication and use of grammar as face-to-face courses.
Never use profanity in any area of an online course. The transcripts of online course bulletin boards, e-mail, and chat sessions are savable.
When responding to messages, only use "Reply to All" when you really intend to reply to all.
Avoid unkindly public criticism of others. Publicly criticizing others in an inappropriate way is known as "flaming" or “ranting.”
Use sarcasm cautiously. In the absence of nonverbal cues such as facial expressions and voice inflections, the context for your sarcasm may be lost, and your message may thus be misinterpreted.
Academic Integrity
All work submitted for evaluation in this course must be your own. When using either primary or secondary sources, you must reference the author, title of the work, and page numbers(s). If you are caught plagiarizing or cheating, you will receive a zero for that assignment and possibly be given an F for the entire course. An incident report might also be filed in the Office of Student Life, which could result in you being expelled from your degree program.

Accommodations for Students with Disabilities
Onondaga Community College, by mission and in compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), is pledged to accommodate any properly diagnosed, documented, and disclosed disabilities of our students. The Disabilities Services Offices is available to assist students who have a legally documented disability or who suspect they may have a disability. To request special accommodations for this course please contact them in the Gordon Student Center (Room G130) or call 315-498-2245.

Attendance Policy: Non-Attendance
For students that never attended by the College’s defined census date*, faculty are required to assign an ‘NA’ (“Never Attended”). This shall remove the student from the course.
For students that then cease to attend and who, in the professional judgment of the faculty member, are no longer de facto students in the course at the midpoint of the term*, faculty shall assign an ‘X’. This shall remove the student from the course.
Student appeals for reinstatement to a course after an ‘NA’ or ‘X’ has been assigned shall be adjudicated by the College’s Chief Academic Officer.
*The College shall post these dates for each term, and deadlines for courses other than 15 weeks in length shall be adjusted proportionally.

The following are “academically related activities” for the purposes of attendance:
Meaningful participation in an online discussion specifically related to course content
Student initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a course-related question via email or chat room
Quizzes, tests, assignment submission

Activities which do not demonstrate academic attendance include:
Student-tracking of course site log-in
Student posting of bio in Discussion forum
Living in institutional housing
Participating in the institution’s meal plan
Logging into an online class without active participation, e.g., Blackboard
Participating in academic counseling or advisement

Textbook Information

Western Civilization: Volume II: Since 1500, 9th Edition

Jackson J. Spielvogel The Pennsylvania State University
ISBN-10: 1285436555
ISBN-13: 9781285436555
This book has been ordered at the OCC Bookstore. If you prefer, you can order a copy from Amazon.
Note: The 7th or 8th edition of this book is also acceptable for this course.

Course Organization
This course is divided into several “Modules” that will be organized by historical eras. Each Module will have specific due dates for the various activities that form the basis of your learning experience. Some of the activities will be based on your individual effort, while others will be more “social,” asking you to interact with your peers as you reflect on the assigned materials. It is vital that you adhere to the assigned due dates for each activity so that others may benefit from your insights and are able to interact with you in a timely way. I will be evaluating your work through three different types of activities: Tests, Diverse Interpretations Essays, and Video Analysis Discussions. Each type of activity is described below.

1. Tests
There will be a multi-chapter, multiple choice tests for each Module. The textbook will be the basis for all of the multiple choice tests in this course. Tests will be timed, but you will have two opportunities to submit the test for each Module. Once you take the test the first time, you will be able to review your responses and see which questions you answered incorrectly. You will then be able to re-take the test--the higher grade will be recorded. There will also be PowerPoint lectures from the textbook publisher for your review. Note: The PowerPoint lectures are mediocre at best. You will most likely not pass the tests by simply reviewing the PowerPoints. The best strategy for you to apply to learn the material is to read the textbook and take notes. Once you have done so, cross-reference your notes with the PowerPoint lectures. Your performance on Tests will count for 40% of your final grade.

2. Diverse Interpretations Essays
Another way I will evaluate your work is through your writing. You will be assigned several readings from a series entitled Taking Sides--Clashing Views in World History. These readings pose a single question and offer two diverse interpretations--a Yes position and a No position. You will be asked to summarize each position and decide which author’s arguments are more valid. You must respond in a 1 - 2 page essay (4 paragraphs), which you can word process and attach to your discussion post, or type directly in a text box in Blackboard’s discussion board.

Paragraph 1: Introduction that includes a Thesis Statement--what is YOUR response to the question? Which argument do you think is more credible and why?
Paragraph 2: Summary of the Yes position citing three pieces of evidence from the text
Paragraph 3: Summary of the No position citing three pieces of evidence from the text
Paragraph 4: Analysis/Evaluation that identifies which position you agree with and is supported by at least two pieces of evidence from outside scholarly sources (Wikipedia and dictionary.com do not count).
Note: You must also cite your sources within the text of your essay and include a Works Cited page in the APA format.
