Kingwood Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement. Lone Star College-Kingwood is committed to offering a learning
environment that promotes the study of varied perspectives. The topics that are covered in college courses are often challenging,
academically and emotionally; this allows students to assess basic assumptions, take agency over learning, and engage in
dialogue with empathy for classmates. We will talk about differing ideas without being confrontational, respect all experiences
and cultures, and maintain respect for others and their perspectives. We embrace diversity, we advance equity, and we cultivate
inclusion.
Succeeding in this Course. Whether we have a job, take care of a family member, or are an active member of the United States
armed forces, you know your obligations and you must plan on completing our schoolwork on time. You already know if you
have other commitments that might keep you busy near your deadlines. Always plan accordingly and submit your assignments
early, especially if you know that you will be pressed for time when deadlines arrive. For example, you know that you have
several deadlines on any given Sunday, and you also know that next week you will be working overtime on Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday. Since you already know that, you also know that it is in your best interest to submit those assignments by Thursday
night. In a college setting, students are expected to invest at least three hours at home studying for every hour spent in the
classroom. This also means that being a full-time student involves studying a lot more than forty hours a week. In this course,
students must complete several InQuizitive and other exercises every single week. In addition, students must do the readings
listed in the syllabus and submit all assignments by the due dates. Ultimately, each student is responsible for submitting his/her
own work. “It didn’t pop up” is never a valid excuse for missing an assignment.
Internet-Enhanced Courses. This is an internet-enhanced course. Students must have access to a computer and Internet
services. Student having any difficulties should contact LSC Online Helpdesk as soon as possible by calling 832-813-6600 or
click the support button in the D2L class. Always join the InQuizitive and History Skills Tutorials through D2L, that is the only
way the D2L grade book will record your grades. Spend a reasonable minimum time solving each question, as D2L might not
record your grade when students go through questions too quickly. These exercises often do not work properly in a cell phone or
tablet. Always use a bona fide computer. Make sure that your computer is up to date and that your date and time setting are
correct. Regularly check the Course Schedule in D2L to find out about upcoming deadlines. Do not email the professor asking
what we covered in class when you miss a session. Instead, post your questions in the Open Forum discussion so the instructor or
another student can answer that question to the whole class.
InQuizitive and History Skills Tutorials. Students will complete four (4) History Skills Tutorials, one (1) “How to Use
InQuizitive” and seventeen (16) InQuizitive chapter exercises during the semester. Always join the InQuizitive and History Skills
Tutorials through D2L, that is the only way the D2L grade book will record your grades. Spend a reasonable minimum time
solving each question, as D2L might not record your grade when students go through questions too quickly. These exercises
often do not work properly in a cell phone or tablet. Detailed instructions will be available through D2L.These assignments
cannot be reopened after the closing date. Always use a bona fide computer. Make sure that your computer is up to date and that
your date and time setting are correct. Regularly check the Course Schedule in D2L to find out about upcoming deadlines.
Late and Make-up Work. All deadlines are final. I will only allow students to make up any work under extenuating
circumstances after evaluating every case individually. Late work will only earn up to 50% of the original credit. InQuizitive and
History Tutorial Skills assignments cannot be reopened after the closing date.
Online Etiquette. Always practice proper etiquette when participating in this online class. Write formally. Be respectful and
tactful when communicating with your professor and with other students. Write in full sentences and use proper grammar. Be
always polite.
Satisfactory progress. Students who do not make satisfactory progress may be dropped from this class.
3
Attendance. An institution of higher education may not permit a student to drop more than SIX (6) courses, including any course
a transfer student has dropped at another Texas public institution of higher education. Eligible criteria for a waiver include a)
change of work schedule prohibiting attendance, b) active military, c) severe illness or debilitating condition, d) death of a family
member, e) class cancellation, and f) complete withdrawal. Developmental Studies courses do not apply to this rule.
Academic Dishonesty. Students who engage in dishonest behavior will earn a “zero” in the assignment, an “F” in the class, and
may be expelled from the college. Always do your own work and never plagiarize. You can really write in your own words.
Please notice that clearing a paper through a plagiarism website does not mean that a paper is clean. Some examples of dishonest
academic behaviors include, but are not limited to: unauthorized discussion about tests or quizzes; unauthorized group work;
unauthorized use of electronics; forged data or statistics; unauthorized use of work completed by another person (i.e., test, quiz,
or assignment answers with OR without their knowledge); use of an unauthorized cheat sheets (paper, electronically stored,
written on the body, etc.); use of signals to exchange answers; copying homework from a solutions manual; unauthorized copying
or use of material for online assignments; undeserved high marks in peer review/grading of work; use of false reasons for missing
deadlines, tests, etc.; stealing or receiving a copy of exam or other materials; purchasing or downloading a paper, test bank, or
other work to submit as own or use to study; use of unauthorized material, and unauthorized sharing of work for online
assignments.
Behavior Intervention Team. The overall goal of the Behavioral Intervention Team is to promote a safe college environment
for all students and staff focused on student learning and student development. By encouraging all members of the campus
community to communicate behaviors that are concerning and provide support and connect students with resources that can assist
them.
If a community member (student, faculty or staff) behaves in a way that is disruptive or poses a threat to any aspect of the LSCS
community, such behaviors should be reported to the Behavior Intervention Team. If you see something, say something….
You are encouraged to identify yourself because this may assist the BIT if clarification or additional information is needed.
Submitting your name also gives your report more credence. Anonymous entries will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. File a
