CISF 102- Cyber Crime
E-learning gives you an opportunity to take a college level class, without being on campus regularly. It requires a student that is motivated and self-disciplined. It is an interesting and fun way to take a class, but don’t be fooled. Expect to work harder than you would in a face-to-face class, and be sure to allot sufficient time. In an online course, the teacher is a resource to the learning process, while the student takes a more responsible and central role in the learning. I am here to help. You can email or phone me, or you can stop by my office on campus during office hours. I am here for you. It is up to YOU to determine how much you want my assistance.

ATTENDANCE & EXPECTATIONS
This is a hands-on class, with much of the material being accumulative. You will need to spend at least as much time on this class as you would if you were taking it in a classroom (if not more). That means 6-10 hours a week completing readings, assignments and labs. It is imperative that you keep on track with the schedule.
There will not be an on-campus meeting for this class. The class will be taught using a web-based service called Canvas. You must complete the Start Here learning module within the course space, and read all material posted by the instructor. Canvas is not really difficult to use, but if you need some personal guidance, to make an appointment for one-on-one help, contact the TLC or Online Learning office (see below).
IMPORTANT- Before you can log into a Canvas account, you must first be invited by your institution or facility. Once you have received your invitation, simply enter your Canvas-registered email address and associated password into the corresponding fields of the Canvas Log In page.
You will not have access to this course until 1:00 AM the first day of class. Please let me know ASAP, via email, if you are unable to log in.
EVALUATION
Students will be evaluated on quiz results, labs and other assignments and class participation. (YES, there are still ways to participate, even in a distance learning course!). Assignments will not be accepted more than one week late. It is important that assignments be handed in on time and complete. Extensions and make-ups will only be given under extreme circumstances. Personal computer problems are not an acceptable excuse for late work.
You will submit your work electronically, via Canvas, so plan accordingly. If you know that you will be away when an assignment is due, work ahead and submit it early- rather than late. You'll feel better on vacation if it's not hanging over your head anyway! Assignments will not be accepted by email.
Personal computer problems are not an acceptable excuse for late work.
POLICIES
Please review the college academic calendar for important dates.
Students are urged to retain all graded work returned to them until final grades have been received from the college. You can print the My Grades page for your records.
Students should consult the Academic Policy in the College Catalog concerning important rules governing students in their academic work. Plagiarism and other forms of academic cheating are unacceptable and are considered as MAJOR infractions of the Student Code of Conduct and College Policy and will be dealt with as published in the College Catalog.
It is imperative that you attend class regularly. That means logging in to this class at least twice a week. If you are absent more than three weeks total, you will receive an F for the course (except under exceptional circumstances). You are responsible for all missed work. Make-ups may be given at the discretion of the instructor- make sure you contact me BEFORE you miss something.
Withdrawal: If there is a need to withdraw from this course, do so officially from the Admissions Office.
If you have a disability and wish to discuss academic accommodations, I encourage you to see me as soon as possible.
