The following guidelines have been approved for inclusion in all HGST syllabi and reflect standards for all courses: Fall/Spring semester 15-session course 3-absence maximum Summer term 8-session course 1-absence maximum (equals 4 hours). 6-session hybrid 1-absence maximum 4-session hybrid 0-absence maximum If a student reaches the designated number of absences, the student will no longer be allowed to stay in the class. The student does have the opportunity to appeal to the Academic Dean and should assume responsibility for scheduling that meeting as soon as possible. B. Work is expected on the due date. Late papers will receive no less than a one-letter grade reduction. C. Turnitin.com 1. All written assignments are subject to required submission to to check for originality and style. The assignments that are required for submission will be described in the syllabus. 2.

A list of assignments and due dates will be available on the course page.
4 3. Students will submit assignments by the due date and time and will be required to submit the assignments in a hard copy format as well. D. Electronic Equipment Usage in Classrooms It is expected that students will use technology (cell phones, laptop computers, ipads, etc.) during classes only for the purposes of class work. Therefore, students should turn off cell phones and refrain from texting and using laptop computers during classes except for the purposes of taking notes or doing research specifically authorized by the course instructor. Students who have emergency needs not covered by this policy must ask for an exception from the course instructor. E. Please review the Academic Catalog for policies regarding Incompletes and Plagiarism. For more information on HGST and area Library Services, please download the Library Handbook from the HGST website. 4 VII. Notes for Writing Assignments All writing assignments should conform to Kate Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 8 th Edition. This includes matters of style and format. The instructor requires the use of footnotes for documentation when more than one resource is cited. The student must number pages. According to Turabian, page numbers appear in the upper right hand corner, except on pages with major headings (titles). Margins should be one inch on all four sides, except where major headings (titles) require a two-inch top margin. Critical, or formal, writing differs from colloquial writing or spoken English at several points. The student should note the following guidelines for critical writing. The instructor expects students to follow these guidelines strictly for academic-style assignments. Failure to do so will be penalized. Avoid first- or second-person references, both singular and plural ( I, we, or you ). Keep the written projects objective and professional. The student must remember that imperative forms are second person. Never use contractions. Avoid passive voice construction (i.e., The student should write God chose Joshua rather than Joshua was chosen by God. ). Some exceptions are necessary, but limiting the use of passive voice is a good policy. Be sure that number and tense always agree (i.e., Do not write in one place that Brueggemann argues... and at another place Brueggemann argued... ). Subjectverb agreement is imperative. Spellcheck! Spellcheck! Spellcheck! Grammar check works as well! All pronouns should have clear antecedents. Avoiding it is and there is in the paper removes much of the ambiguity of pronoun usage. Sentence fragments are unacceptable. Every sentence must have a subject and a predicate.
