Academic misconduct Integrity in all aspects of scholarship is essential to the University’s mission. The Academic Misconduct Code sets forth the rights and responsibilities of all students on the Norman Campus regarding academic integrity, and provides the procedures to be followed in cases of suspected misconduct. Academic misconduct is defined as any act which improperly affects the evaluation of a student’s academic performance or achievement. It specifically includes cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, fraud, destruction of property, and bribery or intimidation, as well as assisting others or attempting to engage in such acts. It is the responsibility of each student to be familiar with the definitions, policies and procedures concerning academic misconduct; and unfamiliarity with the code alters none of a student’s rights or responsibilities thereunder. The Academic Misconduct Code is printed with the Student Code and is also available on the Internet at https://integrity.ou.edu. Assistant Dean serves as the primary administrator for matters of academic misconduct in the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication. |

Alternative testing (i.e. missed tests) Student Services has an active testing center that may be used by faculty to allow students who have missed a test in their class. The instructor should make arrangements with the Student Services Administrative Assistant. Please note this is for individual students and not large groups as space in the testing center is limited and regularly used to administer the College’s Language Skills Test (LST) and the Academic Integrity Test (AIT). |

Attendance policy (for students) A student is responsible for the content of any course in which he or she is officially enrolled.

Grade Changes (incomplete make-up or other grade changes) Grade change forms may be obtained from Kathy Sawyer, Director of Undergraduate Advising, and should be handled only by the instructor of the course—not the student. A change of grade is a faculty/administrative procedure and as such, the student should not be a part of the process to actually her/his grade. |
||
top | ||
Grade Sheets (mid-semester and final grade sheets) All Final Grades are to be recorded online through one.ou.edu. |
||
Inclement Weather In the event of inclement weather, the University has developed a procedure by which the administration will notify central Oklahoma public broadcast and print media should conditions necessitate closure or delayed opening of the institution. Sufficient notice will be given to enable the media to make timely dissemination; if the University is not included in lists of public institutions closed or whose hours are amended, it should be assumed that business will be conducted as usual. In the event that the weather is poor and classes are not cancelled, the instructor is encouraged to be flexible with students who may opt to not attend class that day. Ultimately, it will be up to the instructor to decide what impact missing a particular class might have on a student’s course grade. [Tip: include a detailed attendance policy in your course syllabus. This way, if a question of inclement weather comes up—and it most always does—you will be prepared and will have a policy in place to cover those questions.] |

Instructor evaluations Evaluations are online through the eValuate System. CourseReflection System is a web-based system that permits enrolled students to give feedback during a set evaluation period or window. Arts & Sciences has established an evaluation window that opens 11 days before the last day of class and remains open for 10 days. When the evaluation window opens, the instructor will receive an instructional email from CourseReflections that provides a link to the CourseReflections website (https://coursereflection.ou.edu/), a list of the instructor’s classes that will be evaluated, and the specific dates and times of the evaluation window. Enrolled students receive an e-mail to CourseReflections that requires using their 4+4 and password to access their evaluations. They can log on any time during the evaluation window and they are not required to complete all evaluations in one session. Enrolled students receive additional e-mail prompts at day 5, day 9 and day 10 for any of the courses in which they are enrolled but for which they have not yet completed evaluations. |
