COURSE COMMITMENTS:
Faculty commitment: As a faculty member, I am committed to providing a quality learning
experience through thoughtful planning, implementation, and assessment of course activities. I am
also committed to being readily available to students throughout the semester by returning e-mails
within 24 to 48 hours and to returning graded course work within a week. Furthermore, I am
committed to selecting appropriate course materials and making them available in an organized and
timely manner.
Student commitment: By registering for this course, you commit yourself to study, participation in
course activities, and the submission of all assignments and exams on time. Furthermore, you
commit to accessing the course website and checking your Angel/JJC e-mail (or personal e-mail
linked to the Angel course shell) at least three times a week and to devoting at least 6 hours per
week on this class.
GENERAL JJC POLICIES:
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: It is expected that students in this course will maintain the highest
standards of academic honesty. Dishonesty will not be tolerated. Anyone involved in dishonesty-i.e. plagiarizing or cheating on assignments or tests inside or outside of the classroom—will
minimally receive a failing grade on the assignment or tests and may receive a failing grade for the
course. Students are responsible for reading the College Handbook and/or Student Handbook for
further information on academic misconduct. The Student Code of Conduct is located online at
www.jjc.edu/academics/academic-behavior-standards/Pages/code-of-conduct.aspx
If you have any questions about how and when to cite references, please ask for clarification before
submitting written assignments. Intellectual honesty and integrity are essential attributes of an
educated person.
Conduct for which discipline may be imposed includes, but is not limited to, the following acts
of academic dishonesty:
a. Cheating—intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized materials,
information or study aids; use, or attempting to use, any unauthorized assistance,
resources, materials or electronic/cellular devices with or without photographic
capability in taking quizzes, tests or examinations and the acquisition, without
permission, of a test or other academic material belonging to Joliet Junior
College, to any department, to any staff, or use of online resource designated for
faculty use exclusively.
b. Plagiarism--the reproduction of ideas, words or statements of another person as
ones’ own without acknowledgement or use of an agency, commercial service or
any other third party engaged in providing or the selling of term papers or other
academic materials.
c. Unauthorized Collaboration - intentionally sharing or working together in an
academic exercise when such actions are not approved by the course instructor.
d. Falsification and Fabrication--intentional and unauthorized falsification or
invention of any information or citation furnished to any college official, faculty
member or office.
e. Facilitation of Academic Dishonesty - permitting or assisting, attempting to
permit or assist, another to violate the academic honor code; alteration or
sabotage of another student's work, such as by way of illustration, but not by
limitation, tampering with laboratory experiments.
RESPONSIBLE USE POLICY: Students are responsible for knowing and following the terms and
conditions of JJC’s policy for ―Responsible Use of Information Technology.‖ This policy may be
2
found online at www.jjc.edu/about/operational/information-technology /pages/policy.aspx as well
as in the college catalog, student handbook, and posted in computer labs on campus.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT: For technical assistance, please contact the 24/7 support center at
www.jjc.edu/help where you may find a solution to your problem. Voice support technicians are
available by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year at 1-866-281-3638. Personal
face-to-face help is also available through the Distance Education Technology Center for Teaching
& Learning in Room J-4019 on the main campus from Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
and on Fridays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Help is available in the Tech Center either on a ―drop-in‖
basis or by appointment by calling 815-280-2481.
OTHERS WITH ACCESS: Individuals such as guest speakers, course evaluators, and technical
support staff may access the online course site when necessary and/or appropriate.
ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE: In addition to the assistance provided by your instructor, the
Academic Skills Center (ASC) provides a variety of academic services on Main Campus in J-2013.
For example, some students may wish to schedule appointments with tutors, who are available at no
cost to provide academic assistance. Information regarding the services of the ASC is available at
http://www.jjc.edu/Admin/AcademicSkills/ or by phone at 815-280-2284.
SPECIAL NEEDS: The Student Accommodations and Resources office is located in J2025. This is
the campus office responsible for verifying that students have disability-related needs for academic
accommodations and for planning appropriate accommodations, in cooperation with the students
themselves and their instructors. Students who need academic accommodations should request
them from StAR at 815-280-2230. For more information regarding StAR’s services, visit
http://www.jjc.edu/star/ .
SEXUAL HARRASMENT: Since learning is best achieved in an environment of mutual respect
and trust, the college has adopted a clear and firm policy prohibiting sexual harassment. Such
conduct will not be tolerated in this class, and victims are encouraged to report any unwelcome
sexual advances to appropriate school authorities. (See the College Catalog and/or Student
Handbook for more information.)
DIVERSITY: As your instructor, it is my intent that the diversity which students bring to this class
be viewed and used as both a resource and a strength in accordance with the JJC Core Values. To
learn more about JJC core values visit http://www.jjc.edu/about/college-info/Pages/corevalues.aspx.
COURSE POLICIES
INSTRUCTOR CONTACT INFORMATION
1. In-person is a preferred way of communication. Many issues may be resolved much quicker,
much more effective, and with less frustration when discussed face-to-face. See me before or
after class, if time permits, or during my office hours.
2. E-mail. All e-mail correspondence with instructor must be through Angel course shell or
through your JJC e-mail account. The instructor will not read or respond to e-mail sent
through a non-student account. In return, the instructor promises to respond to all e-mail within
48 hours of receipt, except for Sunday.
3. You may also contact the instructor via office voice mail at 815-280-2214. However, response
time may be well over 48 hours as voice mail will NOT be checked on a daily basis.
3
ETIQUETTE: These are common rules which need to be followed in order to create comfortable
atmosphere for all members of the class.
1. No headphones of any type.
2. Cell phones must be set on vibration.
3. Show respect to your classmates and the instructor:
Arrive on time.
If you are going to leave before class ends, inform instructor about the reason.
NETIQUETTE: In any social interaction, certain rules of etiquette are expected and contribute to
more enjoyable and productive communication. The following tips for interacting online in e-mail
and/or Discussion Board messages are adapted from guidelines originally compiled by Chuq Von
Rospach and Gene Spafford.
Remember that the person receiving your message is someone like you, someone who
deserves and appreciates courtesy and respect.
Be brief; succinct, thoughtful messages have the greatest impact.
Your messages reflect on YOU; take time to make sure that you are proud of their
form and content.
Use descriptive subject headings in e-mail messages.
Think about your audience and the relevance of your messages.
Be careful with humor and sarcasm; without the voice inflections and body language
of face-to-face communication, Internet messages can be easily misinterpreted.
When making follow-up comments, summarize the parts of the message to which you
are responding.
Avoid repeating what has already been said; needless repetition is ineffective
communication.
Cite appropriate references whenever using someone else’s ideas, thoughts, or words.
LATE WORK SUBMISSION: All assignments must be submitted before deadline. No late
submissions are allowed.
MAKE UP: Make up is available at instructor’s discretion. Prior arrangements have to be made for
all make up work. All make up work has to be completed within one week after due date. If makeup
is not completed within one week, it is a zero!
Travel, vacations, family events, mild to moderate illness, problems with Internet connection,
computer software and hardware are not valid excuses for makeup work.
WITHDRAWAL POLICY: If a student determines that he/she will be unable to complete the
course with satisfactory grade, it is the student's responsibility to initiate procedures leading to a
formal withdrawal ("W") in order to avoid a failing ("F") grade in the course. To receive a "W"
grade, a student must withdraw before the deadline established by the college. Contact the
Registrar’s Office at (815) 744-2200 for further information on withdrawal procedures and deadline
dates.
INCOMPLETE GRADES: Incomplete (I) grades and deadline extensions are not allowed in this
course. Students are strongly encouraged to complete their work before deadlines approaches.
Waiting until the ―last minute‖ to submit assignments and to take quizzes and exams is inadvisable
since deadlines are fixed and ―I‖ grades are not awarded.

Annotated Bibliography Assignment Guidelines
(Bibliography is individual assignment)
1. Writing an Annotated Bibliography
An annotation is a brief descriptive and evaluative note that provides enough information
about the book, article, or document so a person can decide whether or not to consult the
source.
To help you write an annotation, you might answer some of the following questions, in paragraph
form, about your item (book, article or website):
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Content—What is it about? Is it relevant to your research?
Purpose—What is it for? Why was this written or created?
Methods used to collect data—Where did the information come from?
Usefulness—What does it do for your research?
Reliability—Is the information accurate?
Authority—Is it written by someone who has the expertise to author the information?
Currency—Is it new? Is it up-to-date for the topic?
Scope/Coverage/Limitations—What does it cover? What does the author state that he
or she will cover? What doesn’t the item provide that would be helpful?
SAMPLE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ENTRY FOR A JOURNAL ARTICLE from the
Cornell University Library
The following example uses the APA format for the journal citation.
Waite, L. J., Goldschneider, F. K., & Witsberger, C. (1986). Nonfamily living and the erosion of
traditional family orientations among young adults. American Sociological Review, 51 (4),
541-554.
The authors, researchers at the Rand Corporation and Brown University, use data from the
National Longitudinal Surveys of Young Women and Young Men to test their hypothesis
that nonfamily living by young adults alters their attitudes, values, plans, and expectations,
moving them away from their belief in traditional sex roles. They find their hypothesis
strongly supported in young females, while the effects were fewer in studies of young
males. Increasing the time away from parents before marrying increased individualism, selfsufficiency, and changes in attitudes about families. In contrast, an earlier study by Williams
cited below shows no significant gender differences in sex role attitudes as a result of
nonfamily living.

Characteristic
Presentation includes introduction, main part, and
conclusion.
All parts of the project are addressed according to
instructions (see GP Content Description).
Presentation format is consistent and easy to
follow.
There is clear evidence of additional research.
Sources of data are referenced or cited during
presentation.
Presentation is supplemented with appropriate
media and visual aids: pictures, videos, data from
the web, Power Points, posters. All visual aids are
readable and visually interesting.
Group is well organized.
Presentation flows without interruption.
Group presentation took 12 to 15 min total and
every group member had equal time to present.
No mistakes in data interpretation or calculations.
(All mistakes in draft submissions must be
corrected. Mistakes carried over from draft will
significantly reduce individual portion of the
grade).
Conclusions are supported with concepts learned in
class and references.
Group members demonstrate knowledge of ALL
topics presented and answer questions with
confidence.
Presenter uses correct language and terminology.
Presenter exhibits confidence and enthusiasm.
Presenter is NOT reading entirely from paper or
PowerPoint. Power Point is used to display data,
graphs, pictures, tables, bulleted or numbered lists
but NOT text.
General rules:
1. Every group member must present for at least 3 min. One double-spaced page of printed
text roughly equals 1 min of talking.
2. Be comfortable with the terminology used. If you do not know what it means, do not say it
or find out the definition.
3. Consider supplementing presentation with youtube videos, cartoons, pictures, interesting
facts about your country, etc.
4. If you use dark background color (picture) consider using light text color. Examples of the
color combinations which DO NOT work: black font on dark blue, green, or red; green font
12
on red or vice versa; white text on light background. Keep in mind that projected image has
much less contrast than what you have on the screen.
5. NO SHOWS will receive a zero grade unless proper documentation is provided
(doctors note, copy of the police report, etc.). Even if you do not go to the doctor, you
must request a note from him in order to make this assignment up. You will have to
make entire presentation alone to receive a credit for it.
