Class Attendance

Two options: Synchronous (coming into class during our scheduled time), or Asychonous (on your own time)It is not required to attend class live, but I highly recommend it. Not only is it more fun, but it means you can skip completing daily lessons on your own. Any Live Lesson you do not attend you are required to watch on your own. Watching guided lesson recordings is HIGHLY suggested. I will often offer answers, extra help, and fun information that may not be in the edio lessons during class, so what the recordings when you can.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism = Submitting work that you did not create as if it is your own. This includes “getting ideas” from the Internet and/or someone else, forgetting to cite sources, and having someone else complete the work for you. If evidence of what you submitted as your own work is found on any website or in another student's submission, you will have ONE opportunity to correct the assignment. After that, you will earn a zero on future plagiarized assignments with no opportunity to resubmit the work. You can find additional details in the "Using AI" tab of this presentation.

Using AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) = Using any of the available platforms, programs, or chat bots (ChatGPT, etc.) to create responses to lesson and/or assessment questions.

These responses are NOT your original work! As with plagiarism, “getting ideas” from AI or using individual sentences that have been AI-generated in your lessons, writing assignments, and assessments is not permitted (unless your teacher says so). If your work demonstrates evidence of 40% or greater that the work may have been AI-generated, you will have ONE opportunity to correct it. After that, you will earn a zero on submitted work flagged as likely to have been AI-generated.

Resets and Retakes

Resets and Retakes for Lessons and Assessments - You may request that any assignment be reset for you to complete again. If the assignment you wish to have reset is an assessment, your original score must be below 80% to have that assessment reset. You may be given the same assessment or I may decide to offer you a new assessment. Skipping answers, or typing “idk” or other random letters or numbers, will prompt a zero for that lesson. I will reset an assignment ONE TIME upon request. You will not be permitted multiple resets or retakes

Overdue Work

Catch-Up Plans - Always work with me on this! Some lessons are more impactful than others, and I can help you make the best use of your time. Remember, teachers have standards to follow, so assignments cannot simply be excused without evaluating the impact and value of the work. I do not recommend using edio’s “Catch Me Up” plan for this class; instead, reach out to me for help. Remember, assessments will have a greater impact on your overall grade than daily lessons will. If you get behind with your work, ask me for help! Also, never assume that one teacher's policy on catch-up plans is the same as another's. We each have a different way of doing things so reach out and we can talk about the options.

Netiquette

Netiquette = Rules of conduct for our online learning experience. These guidelines will help us to communicate more effectively, avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, and demonstrate respect for others:

• Pay attention and stay on topic
• Answer questions when asked in class via chat or on mic.
• If speaking on mic, please limit your response to 20 secs or less.
• Do not put personal information in the chat (no social media, phone, or email, etc.)
• Be Respectful!

Contact Me!

Contact with your teacher is critical to your success! You are expected to reach out to your teacher if you have questions or need help. This is most quickly done in Edio chat, but a phone call or webmail will work too. If you need help with a specific assignment, a Zoom call/meeting is the way to go. Check the Class Announcements page for my Bookings link. When you use the Bookings link to schedule, you can see exactly when your teacher is available. The time you choose to book a Zoom or phone call will go directly to your teacher's calendar. Check-in with me at least once per marking period!
