Academic Integrity and Plagiarism:  All writing must be in the student’s own words with content based on published materials paraphrased (defined as restating what one has read in one’s own words).  Copying published material violates the University policy on academic integrity and plagiarism, is prohibited in this course and will result in a score of zero for the first incident, without an option for revision and resubmission to recoup lost points and a report of the student action to the Registrar’s Office. 

SOCI332 Late Policy

Per the Student Handbook, APUS classrooms operate the Eastern Time Zone/Eastern Daylight Time.  All due dates and times are based on the Eastern Time Zone/Eastern Daylight Time. Students are expected to submit work by the posted due date and to complete the course according to the published class schedule.  As adults and working professionals, time management skills are essential and expected.  Work ahead when possible in case something unexpected comes up on a due date.  If you wait until a due date and life happens (illness, internet outage, vacation, forget, other work and family priorities, etc.), the class is designed so some late work is accepted, for partial or full credit, as detailed below. Please note: you cannot “catch up” your past due homework without instructor’s prior authorization. Any “catch up” homework without instructor’s prior authorization will NOT be graded.

  • Forums:
    • Initial posts accepted late but due during the learning week for partial credit.  
    • Peer responses are due during the learning week and are not accepted late for credit
  • Assignments:
    • Accepted up to three days late for partial credit, 10% tardiness penalty per day (30% total). For day four after the due date, it is an automatic “0.”

Rare emergency circumstances need to be discussed with the Instructor and documentation may be required.  As needed, the instructor will refer students to the appropriate support office such as the Disability Office, Registrar, or Chaplain.  Per the Student Handbook, work must be submitted by the end of the course.  This means that for Week 8, late Assignments and Forums are not accepted unless the student has an approved course extension.
