Syllabus

       Students will learn about the technical aspects of the computer, hardware, and operating systems. The goal is to enhance the knowledge of troubleshooting, networking, and maintenance and repair while actively involved in hands-on activities and demonstrations. Students learn to prevent and solve basic technical problems and function more effectively in an educational setting.    The conceptual framework for professional preparation programs in the School of Education at Marian University is oriented toward the development of learning-centered educators. The framework is organized around five interconnected themes: //Values and Ethics, Knowledge, Reflection, Collaboration//, and //Accountability//.   This course directly relates to all five themes of the conceptual framework for professional preparation programs in the School of Education at Marian University. Educational Hardware and Systems Support has become an integral part of teaching in education. This course is designed to increase the students’ knowledge of hardware, technical troubleshooting, and system basics.   Students will:  1. Make appropriate choices about purchasing technology systems, resources and services.

An instructor and the University can change a student’s grade at any time, even after a course has been completed, if the student has violated the Academic Honesty Policy. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The University has identified three major violations of academic honesty, including plagiarism, cheating, and intentional misrepresentation of the truth. All rules and standards of academic honesty apply equally to all electronic media, particularly all Intranet and Internet activities. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">An Incomplete (I) grade may be reported for a student who has carried a subject with a passing grade until the end of the semester and then, because of illness or other unusual or extraordinary reasons beyond his/her control, has been unable to take or complete the final examination or to complete some limited amount of term work. An Incomplete grade may not be given to permit a student to correct work already completed or to improve upon a grade. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">An Incomplete grade may be given to a student who is absent from a final examination if the instructor is satisfied that the absence resulted from illness or extraordinary cause beyond the student’s control. In default of such proof, the examination grade shall be “F”. The student must obtain permission from the instructor for an Incomplete grade prior to the end of the course. The Incomplete grade will carry 0 credit points and will not be computed in the GPA. Undergraduate students who have received an incomplete do not qualify for the Dean’s List. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">An Incomplete grade is automatically changed to “F” if course work is not finished within twelve (12) calendar weeks after the close of the semester in which it was issued (i.e., twelve weeks after final grades were due in the Registrar’s Office for the Fall, Spring, or Summer semester). The instructor, at his or her discretion and in consultation with the student, may set an earlier deadline within the allowable period. Exceptions to this policy require approval of the appropriate School Dean. Once an incomplete grade has lapsed to an “F” grade, it may not be changed back to an Incomplete grade. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">All Incomplete grades must be completed and grades that apply toward the degree must be received in the Registrar’s Office by the end of a student’s last semester of attendance within the published degree completion deadline. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Marian University has at the heart of its core values that it is a community committed to learning. Class attendance is essential to the learning process of the entire community. Absence from class by a student not only limits that student’s learning, but it also limits the learning of the entire class that is deprived of that student’s input. Any absence, for any reason, prevents the student and the class from getting the full benefit of the course. Students should be aware that class attendance may also be required for financial aid purposes and could impact existing or future financial aid. Students are, therefore, expected to attend all classes of the courses in which they are registered and to be on time. Instructors may include class attendance as a measure of academic performance for grading purposes in the course syllabus. Such criteria are supported by Marian University. It is the responsibility of the student to contact the instructor to discuss any missed class work due to absences. When a student is absent from class, it is up to the instructor to determine what make-up work, project or test may be allowed. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">In alignment with Marian University’s core values Disability Services recognizes the inherent worth and dignity of every individual. Marian University and the Office of Disability Services embraces individual differences and recognize the unique contributions diversity makes to learning and the educational experience. Students with disabilities are one such aspect of diversity. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">If you feel you need accommodations to fully participate in this course, please contact Lisa Rogers, Coordinator of Disability Services and Academic Support at 920-923-8951 or <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">lmrogers65@marianuniversity.edu <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">A.
