Turnitin Policy: By taking this course, students agree that all assignments are subject to submission to TurnItIn, a plagiarism detection service that checks documents for originality. All work submitted to TurnItIn will be added to its database of papers. Specifically, this service compares your paper with Internet web pages, articles in databases, and all papers previously submitted. TurnItIn then either confirms the originality of your work or reports the source(s) of plagiarism. In cases of detected plagiarism, the paper and supporting evidence will be handled in compliance with the Code of Student Conduct, Section Five. (http://www.nicholls.edu/life/policy/code_of_conduct.pdf). This evaluation process should serve to remind students of the necessity to take notes when researching a paper and to synthesize the material. The term paper should show the results of your research and should be written in your own voice. All quoted material should be acknowledged and cited in the notes for the paper and the bibliography. Please follow the instructions as follows:

1. Be sure to write the paper in Microsoft Word or the Rich Text Format and to name the file accordingly. The recommended format for naming files is lastname.doc or lastname.rtf.

2. Please do not include the illustrations with the text that is submitted.

Please submit your paper to the area for term papers in Moodle. The Moodle site is linked to Turnitin.

Assessment Statement: Nicholls State University is committed to continuous improvement of student learning. To achieve this goal, the University has adopted a web-based assessment and e-Portfolio system called LiveText. With LiveText, students will have the ability to track their own growth and organize their college coursework while at the same time helping the university provide the best education possible now and in the future. Students will enjoy (1) space in the LiveText cloud to upload and store documents, presentations, and other files, (2) a single electronic place to organize and download projects from all courses for preparation of portfolios and other presentations to future employers and graduate school admissions, and (3) access to their personal assessment data as generated by the university.

Use of LiveText is a university requirement, and you will be required to upload assignments from this class as specified by

7

the instructor. Therefore, unless you already have an account to use LiveText, you must purchase a license for LiveText for this class. Licenses for LiveText are paid through the University as an “Electronic Assessment License” and will be charged only once to each student. If you don’t already have an account, you will receive a “Key Code” through email at the beginning of this course that will permit you to establish one. You may use your LiveText account for up to five years. If you do not yet have a license to use LiveText, please contact [email protected] within one week of the beginning of this course.

Multiple cheating offenses:

Section Five of the Code of Student Conduct, ‘Academic Dishonesty and Disruptive Behavior,’ includes a requirement that faculty file a charge complaint statement with their respective dean whenever a student is confronted or disciplined for cheating. The Office of Academic Affairs will maintain these records, and any student confronted and/or disciplined for multiple offenses of academic dishonesty will be brought before the Academic Affairs Integrity Committee for further review and potential sanctions.

Students MUST propose no later than the semester prior to their exhibition. (No student will be allowed to propose and complete a show within the same semester.) It is the student’s responsibility to obtain the proposal checklist, to schedule their proposal date and time with the departmental administrative assistant, to schedule a meeting with the 497 studio faculty in their area or with the 498 art history faculty and with the 496 seminar instructor and to meet all requirements and deadlines. Students failing to meet all requirements will not be granted permission to move forward with their exhibition. The proposal sheet, "Senior Proposal Guidelines and Checklist", must be picked up prior to mid-semester. Sheets are available in the art office.
