Textbooks

\ Required Books:

\ Title: America: A Narrative History, Vol. I
\ Authors: Tindell and Shi
\ Volume 1 ISBN: 9780393934069
\ Publisher: W. W. Norton, 2009
\
\ Title: The Social Fabric, Vol. I, American Life From 1607 to 1877
\ Authors: Wheeler, Hartshorne, & Tebeau
\ ISBN: 9780558341374
\
\ *NOTE: The Social Fabric book is printed and packaged specifically for AC students and can ONLY be purchased from the AC Bookstore. THESE ARE NOT A CD but actual textbooks. Please remember that each student is responsible for purchasing the CORRECT Textbook/Readers for this course. It is very easy in the hectic early days of a new term to glance at a card in the bookstore and select the wrong books. It is also possible for a student to get conflicting advice from others, including bookstore personnel who mean well, but may be misinformed about the correct books for the proper Professor. So be sure to go online, print-out-a-copy of the Syllabus and bring it with you when buying your books. If in doubt, buy what is listed on the Syllabus, then sort out any issues later. The Syllabus is the final word on which book is correct, so read it carefully and buy accordingly.

Supplies

\ Regular access to a computer with Internet is necessary. See AC Distance Education web site for computer hardware and software guidelines.

\ Computer Requirements:

Student Performance
\ After Studying the Material Presented in this Course of Study, the Student will be able to:
\
\
\ Trace the development of a stable, democratic political system flexible enough to address the wholesale changes that occurred since the founding of the nation.
\
\ Explain how this nation has been peopled from the first inhabitants to the many groups that arrived in slavery or servitude during the colonial period down to the voluntary immigrants of the Civil War era.
\
\ Evaluate economic and technological changes as they have affected daily life, work, family organization, leisure, the division of wealth, and community relations.
\
\ Delineate the role of religion in our nation prior 1877.
\
\ Recount how the recurring reform movements in U.S. history dealt with economic, political, and social problems in attempting to make their ideals congruent with reality.
\
\ Define the changes in our beliefs and values over time and describe how they have varied among different groups: women and men; non-whites and whites; and people of different regions, religions, and classes.
\
\ Describe the role of geographical factors in the history of the U.S.
\
\ Practice critical thinking and information retrieval skills.
\
\
\
\
\ Teaching & Learning Strategy: The class is approached as an on-line instruction tool to learn about United States history. The course is designed to be completed during either a traditional 16-week Fall/Spring term or an 8 week Summer session. A student should expect to schedule, on average, approximately 6-8 hours per week to accomplish the assignments required in this course and plan on reading 75-100 pages per week. It is recommended for the student to block out time in your day planner three times a week (4-5 times a week in the summer) for completing reading, reviewing Internet sources, and course work, just as you would do if you were on campus. The seemingly vast reading load is the result of not attending classroom lectures where material is distilled by the Professor. Instead, the student is given the assignments, and should read them first and ask any questions raised by the topics that each student as an individual needs guidance to follow.
\
\ The course is structured with readings that correspond to content material posted online. Additional readings from Internet sites are assigned to support your historical understanding.
\
\ Students should be sure to view and/or print off the class calendar to keep track of the required posting dates for exams and discussion questions. In addition, students should regularly check their email for notices about any changes in the course or content materials. Participation in this course is crucial to success.
\
\ Since this course is offered as an online class, individualized learning is the key. Your ability to read the textbook and additional material and learn on your own to identify major theses and link material together into a comprehensive understanding of the United States is crucial. The professor is available by phone, email, or in person to discuss in-depth any material you do not understand but the burden of learning falls upon the individual student.

\
\
\
\ Disability Statement:    Any student, who because of a disabling condition, may require some special arrangements in order to meet course requirements should contact disAbility Services (SSC 119, phone 371-5436) as soon as possible.
\
\
\
\ Etiquette: The study of history is important and deserves respect from both the professor and from students. Everyone has an obligation to cultivate an environment for learning that enhances the ability to pursue the shared interest in history. Respect for one another and for the ideas and values of others are essential for a strong environment for learning history. Respectful students bring a strong work ethic to the course. They are expected to log-on to the class regularly, be prepared for class, and be attentive to discussions and online chats. A shared respect for one another is essential to the academic integrity and a comfortable learning environment. Everyone must do their part to maintain an environment of openness and civility that encourages and honors the intellectual achievement. If you need to review the standard Net Etiquette rules, see the Net Etiquette for more information.
\
\
\
\ Instructor's policy on Academic Dishonesty: Occasionally a few students will attempt to cheat or plagiarize. Students caught will receive a grade of F (0 points) for that examination and/or essay. Additionally such students may receive a grade of F for the course and may be suspended from the College (penalties which become a permanent part of a penalized student's record and cannot be eliminated by the repeat-option). If you are unsure about the definition of plagiarism, see the links available to students or visit with your instructor.
\
\
\
\ Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:
\
\
\
\ downloading a free or purchased paper
\
\
\
\ copying an article from the web or electronic database
\
\
\
\ translating a foreign web article into English
\
\
\
\ copy a paper from a local source
\
\
\
\ cobbling -- cutting and pasting to create a paper from several sources (including web sites) even if properly cited
\
\
\
\ excessive quoting (more than 20% even if properly cited)
\
\
\
\ quoting less than all the words copied
\
\
\
\ changing some words but copying whole phrases
\
\
\
\ paraphrasing without attribution
\
\
\
\ summarizing without attribution
\
\
\
\ faking a citation
\
\
\
\ Review the plagiarism link located on the "Getting Started" tab located in this course.
\
\
\
\ Choosing Good Sources for Historical Research: Students often search for additional information about historical events to supplement their understanding of the material in preparation for essays, discussions, and even quizzes. To correctly interpret historical issues, students must have accurate knowledge of the facts. Students can also consult secondary sources such as the work of other historians Students are, however, STRONGLY cautioned to choose these extra sources, particularly internet sites, with care. Websites, such as Wikipedia or Yahoo, DO NOT necessarily contain reliable facts, documentation, or interpretations, and therefore, should not be used in a college course. Websites like Wikipedia even post disclaimers informing users that their material may or may not be valid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Disclaimers). Students should, instead, choose sources from the WBU Virtual Library such a History Cooperative, JSTOR, or other refereed journals. For websites, learners should select sites where the author can be identified as a scholar, historian, or other knowledgeable person. Such examples would include websites ending in .edu or .org. Websites helpful to students in this course already examined by the professor are available via the "Web Resources" link through the course. See "Using Wikipedia -- "Danger Will Robinson" handout located on the "Syllabus" page or this recent CNN article, "Use with caution: The perils of Wikipedia."
\
\
\ Review behavior guidelines in the AC student handbook.
\
\ Review Net Etiquette rules before taking an online course.
Grading Criteria
Students will be expected to work through 11 lessons (18 chapters) chronologically before the end of the semester as well as participate in discussions. Additional articles are assigned in an essay reader each week to correspond to the main thesis being presented in the textbook (see calendar of assigned reading below).

Computer Requirements:

Regular log-on is necessary for satisfactory achievement. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the student to keep track of their assignments. Students must have regular access to a computer and a reliable Internet connection to enroll in this course. I repeat, these are minimum requirements for all students in every online course. Technical problems are not an excuse to miss a posted quiz or other due date. Students should plan ahead to have all work submitted earlier than the last Due Date in the event of a computer malfunction. Students should then have access to a back-up computer at a family member's home, friend's location, local school, or local city library so they may still meet all assignment dates. This is one of the trade-offs for the convenience of a Virtual class. When technical problems occur, students need to send an e-mail to the Help Desk explaining the difficulty, and copy your instructor as well. If you cannot use e-mail, call the Help Line and not your instructor to explain the difficulty. You may also leave a summary of your trouble and response on your instructor's voice-mail.

Make-up Policy:
There are no make-up exams or assignments under any circumstances. A missed quiz or discussion will simply become a dropped score -- no exceptions. There is NO extra credit offered. Therefore, it is imperative that students keep track of due dates for assignments.

Assignments:

For the first component of your grade, students must take the eighteen (18) chapter quizzes within the eleven (11) modules/lessons. Depending on the module schedule, it will vary on whether the student will take one or two chapter quizzes per week . Each quiz will be composed of fifteen (15) questions in various formats. Question formats include (but are not limited to) multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, true/false, maps, and more. Exams are scheduled to begin at 12:00 p.m. Noon and close at 11:55 p.m. (just before Midnight) on the dates scheduled on the Calendar of Assignments or Course Schedule (listed below). This gives students 84 hours over a four (4) day window in which to take each quiz after it is posted and the quiz will be timed. You will only be able to access the quiz ONCE and you will have thirty (30) minutes to take and complete the quiz.   You cannot view the exam and then return later to complete. There are NO make-ups. Each quiz is worth 15 points and the student will be able to drop four (the 4 lowest scores) of the 18 unit quizzes. The top fourteen (14) quizzes at 15 points each will be totaled for your grade. (Total 210 points or approximately 70% of total course grade.)

The second component of a student's grade are discussion questions scheduled on the calendar throughout the semester, generally at the end of two modules. Each student will answer the discussion question posted on the discussion link in approximately 250-500 words in length. Students must respond in a thoughtful and in-depth way.  Rules for answering discussion questions are located via the Discussion Rules (see link under the Course Content--Getting Started--Course Policies) or in the Discussion folder. Discussion questions are scheduled on the calendar and begin at 12:00 p.m. Noon closing on the date listed at 11:59 p.m. You will have several days in which to answer each question, however there are two (2) due dates. Answers to the questions posed by the professor must be made by the first due date listedto ensure thoughtful answers from students for others to reply to.    The four (4) discussion questions are worth thirty (30) points and students will be able to drop one (the lowest score) of the 4 discussions. The points will be awarded with twenty (20) points for a quality answer to the discussion questions and five (5) points for each reply for a total of ten (10) points for replying twice to your fellow students' answers with insightful comments. The three (3) top discussion grades will be totaled for your grade. (Total 90 points or approximately 30% of total course grade.)

Method of determining course grade:

Course grade will be determined by the student's total accumulated points divided by the total possible points available. For example, if the student has accumulated a total of 220 points from all assignments (after drops), then the student's course grade would be 220/255 for a grade of 86 or a B for the course. Approximate percentages are given to assist students who prefer to determine their grade through that method.

Final Grade based on Total Points:

A    300-270 points

B    269-240 points

C    239-210 points

D    209-180 points

F    179 or less points

Remember, there are NO make-up exams or discussions so if you miss a posted quiz or discussion that missed event will become your dropped assignment.

NOTE: Online students play by a slightly different set of rules than classroom based students. Because your Professors have no opportunity to meet you face-to-face, nor to conduct any real discussions with the class as a group, you pay a penalty when it comes to the final class averages. Unlike those who are in a regular course, day-in and day-out for 15 weeks and who can participate in the give-and-take of the academic process, there is no room for leeway when it comes to averaging a student's grade. The nearest thing to classroom participation/discussion are found in the Discussion postings that are done by each student posted on the Calendar of Assignments. These are student led learning tools, but they also give your Professor a glimpse into how well you are learning the material, and substitute for the in-class debates found in the normal lecture format. So the Trade-Off for flexibility and not driving to class each week is that you must participate in these Discussions in order to give your Professor the best opportunity to assess your overall performance in the class. Failure to do these has often made the difference between a student earning an "A" instead of the "B" they got, and did not want. So please remember to take full advantage of both the learning process and the assessment tool provided by these Discussion posts.

Attendance
\ NO on-campus meeting required. This course is conducted entirely online.
\
\ Attendance Policy: Regular log-on is necessary for satisfactory achievement. Students must log into the course daily, or at minimum of every 48 hours. This requirement is based upon the student's need to be informed on many issues that can arise, including changes in their course, any AC Online announcement posted for the entire class, and in order to stay in contact with their Professor, who may feel that important information is not being understood by the students enrolled in the course, with AC Online, or AC. Experience has demonstrated the important role played by the announcements in assisting students in successfully completing the class. So, remember to check the Homepage on a regular basis.
\
\ It is the responsibility of each student to keep track of their assignments. Students must have daily access to a computer and a reliable Internet connection to enroll in, and to succeed in this course. Technical problems with a Student’s computer or Internet provider are not valid excuses to miss Assignments, Exams, or other Due Dates. Students should plan ahead to have access to a back-up computer at a family member's home, friend's location, local school, or local city library. If a technical problem does occur, students should immediately send an e-mail to the AC Help Desk (AskAC), where specialists in this technology can provide assistance. You must also send a note to your Professor via the Course E-mail explaining the difficulty and the Date, Time and Steps taken to solve the issue. Should the problem not be addressed by the Help Desk, they will provide the Professor with a detailed report of ALL actions taken and the Professor will then decide if the Student can be allowed to complete the work in another fashion. If you cannot use e-mail, telephone your Professor as a last resort to explain the problem. Remember, however, that this is an Online course, and traditional telephone messages may take longer to be returned since they are outside of the normal communication chain. If you reach your Professor's voice-mail, leave a message explaining the trouble and contact information where you can be reached. Expect an e-mail response via the Course E-mail as the primary means of return contact, not a telephone call, since students are enrolled from around the world, and may, in fact, be on Active Duty in a military combat zone, or live in Alaska or Hawaii and so on. This makes telephone communication problematic to say the least. If necessary, a Chat Room can be created as a temporary method to discuss material that is too complex for a standard e-mail.
\
\ Online students play by a slightly different set of rules than classroom based students. Because your Professors have no opportunity to meet you face-to-face, nor to conduct any real discussions with the class as a group, you pay a penalty when it comes to the final class averages. Unlike those who are in a regular course, day-in and day-out for 15 weeks and who can participate in the give-and-take of the academic process, there is no room for leeway when it comes to averaging a student's grade.

So please remember to take full advantage of both the learning process and the assessment tool provided by these Discussion posts.
\
\ NOTE: Contact the professor immediately if you have a family emergency such as an unexpected major illness or family death, are on active duty in the military serving in a war zone, or have any other justifiable reason why you are unable to meet the due dates. However, change of military assignments or TDYs, changing work schedules, or other occurrences caused by a busy life are not acceptable excuses for missing assignment due dates. Plan ahead.
\
\
\
\ Log-on and Meeting Times: Students should purchase textbooks and receive them prior to the first day of class. In addition, students need to log in on or before the first day of class through the AC Online ( https://actx.angellearning.com/default.asp) to begin the course. This class is conducted completely online and does NOT require proctors for exams. All quizzes and assignments are submitted online through the course website.
