Orientation: Quiz

  Purpose

The purpose of this quiz is to review the syllabus, including course objectives and policies, and self-assess your readiness for learning online learning.

  Academic honesty policy and pledge

By submitting this quiz in whole or in part, you are asserting that you have read and understood the following about academic honesty, and that you agree to abide by this policy.

There is no space for academic dishonesty in this class. All students in my classes are responsible for the Orientation content on academic integrity and plagiarism, and you are held to these standards throughout the class. Collaborating on or plagiarizing class materials in whole or in part (including patchwriting, which is the most common form of plagiarism I see), or using AI or other technology to otherwise produce work that is not your own will be considered an act of academic dishonesty and will not be handled lightly; remember that students who register in CCSF classes are required to abide by the Student Code of Conduct and violation of the code is basis for referral to the Student Conduct Office, dismissal from class, or dismissal from the College (see the Student Conduct Office for exact wording and language). If you are academically dishonest: 

• For a first and second offense you will at minimum receive a zero for the assignment and you will lose a letter grade in the class for each offense. At my discretion, depending on the severity of the incident and other factors (such as a previous warning in this or another one of my classes at this or another school), you may lose more than one letter grade, receive an F for the semester, and/or be referred for college-level discipline.
• For a third offense, even if it occurs before the first and/or second offense is graded (for example, the assignments are due on the same day) you will automatically receive an F in the class, and may be referred for college-level discipline.

The Academic Integrity policy as described above applies to AI use.

Do not use AI, do not use Grammarly, do not use translation software or anything that creates words for you or modifies your words for any purpose. Every assignment you submit should be created by you, from beginning to end, including content editing (spell check is allowed). I would rather see less than perfect writing than AI generated material. All assignments are subject to being run through one or more AI detectors inside the CCSF LMS or outside of it, and high percentages and/or a marked difference between the assignment at hand and your typical writing style will trigger the policy, as above -- this will also trigger a much closer examination of all your previous work and re-grading if appropriate, so best to avoid the issue all together and write your own assignments in full. I highly recommend you  compose all your assignments in Google Docs or Word with tracked changes turned on, so that if you are challenged on an assignment, you can prove your assignment's progress (please do not submit these files in your assignments -- copy and paste your final work into the assignment as text). Please retain the Google Docs/Word with tracked changes assignments in your records until your final grade is posted. 

If you received a 0 for an assignment and a notification in the submission comments that your assignment has been flagged under the Academic Integrity/AI policy, you have 72 hours to respond and request a meeting to discuss the incident and the assignment in question. If you do not do this, or if you do not attend the meeting we set, I will assume you accept the application of the policy. If you attend the meeting claiming you did not use AI but cannot satisfactorily explain the circumstances or assignment, you will be referred to the Student Conduct Office.
