Should you be unable to attend class, please contact your department chair or program director as soon as possible. In case of unforeseen circumstances, this may mean contacting your chair/program director to get a note placed on your classroom door. If possible (and with permission of your supervisor) you may be able to offer students an e-learning day or alternative learning experience. They may request you fill out the absence from campus form, which is located here.  Please note that you should complete a form for a planned absence and provide an alternative method of course coverage such as a modified form of delivery, student work day, guest speaker from the Professional Edge Center, etc.

The easiest way to help students avoid academic misconduct is through discouraging it from the beginning. For example, ensure that your assignments are specific to your course/course readings (rather than “Write a paper about a topic in sociology you find interesting”) and ask students to write their papers in Google Docs and share them with you so that you can review their timestamps.

Brightspace offers an integrated version of Turnitin.com which you can learn more about here. You are also welcome to share this video with your students or post it into your class Brightspace page.
