Plagiarism in the Digital Age: Voices from the Front Lines
What's Happening on College Campuses Today?
A 75-minute Virtual Conference Series of moderated online panel discussions
Plagiarism is a growing concern and a hot topic in the academic community. Many time-pressured students rely on the internet to locate convenient sources to fulfill their writing assignments, sometimes committing cut-and-paste plagiarism. College faculty, administrators and students believe that the online environment encourages cheating, and are looking for the best ways to encourage students' original work while helping them become better writers.
Please make plans to participate in this important online discussion. You’ll hear from a panel of leading experts who will share their experiences from the front lines of the digital plagiarism issue. You’ll have an opportunity to submit questions to the panel, plus you’ll have access to a range of “best practice” online resources you can use immediately.
This one-credit course is designed to help transfer students improve their academic performance at Florida State University. The course focuses on developing skills like time management, goal setting, utilizing campus resources, and reflecting on learning strategies. Over the semester students will complete assignments like keeping a semester calendar, analyzing their course demands, creating study plans, and having personal meetings with the instructor to discuss progress. The goal is for students to improve their ability to navigate the increased academic expectations of a four-year research university. Class meetings will be held remotely via Zoom on Wednesdays. Students will be evaluated based on participation in class activities, assignments, and a final group presentation.

Office Location: Sims Hall, Room 137
Course Description
Public speaking is considered the most common fear; however, this fear can be conquered through proper instruction, preparation, and support. This course is designed to explore the conceptual and practical dimensions of public speaking and presenting. Emphasis will be placed upon audience analysis, adaptation, strategic organization and development of ideas, and verbal and nonverbal presentational skills. Speech is an extremely important professional and life skill, it’s how arguments are presented, problems are solved, bodies are motivated/moved, social change occurs, and so on. I believe this course can give you skills to be utilized for numerous exigencies that occur outside the classroom. It is my hope that through this course, you will be given a foundation for you to begin to create your own voice, thus enhancing your engagement and ability to participate in the social, political, and professional endeavors of life.
Course Mission & Objectives
By the end of the semester, we will build presentational competence grounded in theoretical understanding, which will allow you to:
· Conceptualize the dynamics of speaking situations and practices
· Organize a message
· Structure a Speech
· Adapt messages to audience
· Speak extemporaneously
· Critically analyze and create a cohesive argument
· Understand the importance of rhetoric and public speaking in our society
Course Policies
Attendance
Documentation is required in the instance of a university-sanctioned absence (athletic teams, extra circulars ,etc.) or for illness. Attendance means showing up on time and participating in class. Since this class is presentation based its imperative that you show up on time and respect your classmates while presenting. Unexcused absences will negatively impact your grade. Two or more (as this class meets once a week) absences may result in a failing grade. In instances of emergency, contact me as soon as possible to ensure that we can work out the situation.
Speech Days
On speech days, you need to be a good audience member.Audience members are attentive, considerate, and listen. They DO NOT fall asleep, use their phone, be disruptive, or work on assignments during a speech. If these things occur it will result in a 10% deduction from your own speech grade. The purpose of this course is to not only help build a foundation to make you a better speaker, but also better at listening. Being an excellent communicator is not only being able to speak eloquently, it also entails active listening. If you are late on a speech day, please remain outside the door and wait until you hear applause. I do not tolerate late students disrupting speeches.

This document provides an overview of an introduction to public relations course at Georgia Southern University. It includes information about the professor, course description, prerequisites, required materials, learning objectives, grading policy, assignments including blog posts and exams, and course policies on attendance, late work, plagiarism, and classroom behavior. The main assignments are blog posts, an interview of a PR professional, online quizzes, and a final exam. Attendance is required and more than 6 absences will result in failing the course. Late work is not accepted and academic dishonesty is taken seriously.
Yes, there is an ethical violation in this situation:
1. The title of the article "Famous actress abused by husband" is misleading and does not accurately reflect what the actress stated in the interview. She only mentioned they had constant arguments, not that she was abused. This violates the principle of honesty.
2. By implying she was abused without evidence, it risks damaging the reputation of the husband. This violates the principle of avoiding harm.
3. The journalist Juan has a responsibility to report facts accurately instead of sensationalizing for clicks/views. This violates the principle of truthfulness.
In summary, the misleading title without basis violates communication ethics principles of honesty, avoiding harm, and truthful reporting of facts

mportant notes about grading:
1. Compiler errors: All code you submit must compile. Programs that do not compile will receive an automatic zero. If you run out of time, it is better to comment out the parts that do not compile, than hand in a more complete file that does not compile.
2. Late assignments: You must submit your code before the deadline. Verify on Sakai that you have submitted the correct version. If you submit the incorrect version before the deadline and realize that you have done so after the deadline, we will only grade the version received before the deadline.

COMMENTS: You wrote an interesting essay; however, it is lacking the introduction and conclusion paragraphs (1/3 deduction.) Remove the notations from the Reference List. Not all of your sources came from the UOP library and are peer reviewed, so you need to locate additional. You need a minimum of three peer reviewed sources from the UOP library. Prove your arguments using academic sources. Some paragraphs are too short, every paragraph should be five to eight sentences. You received a five point deduction for not including the introduction or conclusion.
SCORE: 10/15 Points (Deduction for not including an introduction or conclusion.)
The Inappropriateness of the Death Sentence
Add an introduction paragraph. Comment by Darlene Bennett: The introduction needs a topic sentence that describes the main idea of the paragraph, then provide background information and finally, include the thesis statement. The introduction should be five to eight sentences in length.
Thesis Statement Comment by Darlene Bennett: The thesis statement cannot be isolated by itself. You need to insert it as the last sentence of the introductory paragraph.
The death penalty, as practiced in some societies in the world, has had its positive aspects and negative aspects and my stand are that it should be abolished in any democratic state that seeks to ensure justice for both the victims of crime and the offenders.
The death sentence is against the bible and other religious guidelines Comment by Darlene Bennett: Capitalize the word “Bible.”
Death sentences against convicted criminals in the society go against the spirit and guidelines provided by religious faiths regarding our stay here in the universe. Comment by Darlene Bennett: Casual tone, stay formal and do not use first person pronouns.
Religious laws quoted in religious books prohibited the execution of man whatsoever. According to these religious laws, there is no compromise or a reason big enough to necessitate the punishment of an offender through death. The ten commandments developed by God himself in the book of Deuteronomy, under commandment five, prohibits the killing of a man. Universal religious laws concur with the Christian teaching regarding the execution of man as a way of punishment (Goldman, 2017). Comment by Darlene Bennett: This is a generalization – do all religious books state this? By Old Testament law, people were stoned for certain infractions. Be specific and provide a source for your fact. Comment by Darlene Bennett:
Religious teachings in all religion term human life as sacred and one that is not subject to limitation, in all circumstance. According to the various religions, it is God only who can terminate the life of a human being. They recommend the use of other means of justice for offenders to reform and revert back to their normal lives in the society (Goldman, 2017).
Further, no method of executing criminals is humane, all the methods are painful, inhumane and disrespectful.

Office Location: Sims Hall, Room 137
Course Description
Public speaking is considered the most common fear; however, this fear can be conquered through proper instruction, preparation, and support. This course is designed to explore the conceptual and practical dimensions of public speaking and presenting. Emphasis will be placed upon audience analysis, adaptation, strategic organization and development of ideas, and verbal and nonverbal presentational skills. Speech is an extremely important professional and life skill, it’s how arguments are presented, problems are solved, bodies are motivated/moved, social change occurs, and so on. I believe this course can give you skills to be utilized for numerous exigencies that occur outside the classroom. It is my hope that through this course, you will be given a foundation for you to begin to create your own voice, thus enhancing your engagement and ability to participate in the social, political, and professional endeavors of life.
Course Mission & Objectives
By the end of the semester, we will build presentational competence grounded in theoretical understanding, which will allow you to:
· Conceptualize the dynamics of speaking situations and practices
· Organize a message
· Structure a Speech
· Adapt messages to audience
· Speak extemporaneously
· Critically analyze and create a cohesive argument
· Understand the importance of rhetoric and public speaking in our society
Course Policies
Attendance
Documentation is required in the instance of a university-sanctioned absence (athletic teams, extra circulars ,etc.) or for illness. Attendance means showing up on time and participating in class. Since this class is presentation based its imperative that you show up on time and respect your classmates while presenting. Unexcused absences will negatively impact your grade. Two or more (as this class meets once a week) absences may result in a failing grade. In instances of emergency, contact me as soon as possible to ensure that we can work out the situation.
Speech Days
On speech days, you need to be a good audience member.Audience members are attentive, considerate, and listen. They DO NOT fall asleep, use their phone, be disruptive, or work on assignments during a speech. If these things occur it will result in a 10% deduction from your own speech grade. The purpose of this course is to not only help build a foundation to make you a better speaker, but also better at listening. Being an excellent communicator is not only being able to speak eloquently, it also entails active listening. If you are late on a speech day, please remain outside the door and wait until you hear applause. I do not tolerate late students disrupting speeches.

This document provides an overview of an introduction to public relations course at Georgia Southern University. It includes information about the professor, course description, prerequisites, required materials, learning objectives, grading policy, assignments including blog posts and exams, and course policies on attendance, late work, plagiarism, and classroom behavior. The main assignments are blog posts, an interview of a PR professional, online quizzes, and a final exam. Attendance is required and more than 6 absences will result in failing the course. Late work is not accepted and academic dishonesty is taken seriously.
Yes, there is an ethical violation in this situation:
1. The title of the article "Famous actress abused by husband" is misleading and does not accurately reflect what the actress stated in the interview. She only mentioned they had constant arguments, not that she was abused. This violates the principle of honesty.
2. By implying she was abused without evidence, it risks damaging the reputation of the husband. This violates the principle of avoiding harm.
3. The journalist Juan has a responsibility to report facts accurately instead of sensationalizing for clicks/views. This violates the principle of truthfulness.
In summary, the misleading title without basis violates communication ethics principles of honesty, avoiding harm, and truthful reporting of facts

COMMENTS: You wrote an interesting essay; however, it is lacking the introduction and conclusion paragraphs (1/3 deduction.) Remove the notations from the Reference List. Not all of your sources came from the UOP library and are peer reviewed, so you need to locate additional. You need a minimum of three peer reviewed sources from the UOP library. Prove your arguments using academic sources. Some paragraphs are too short, every paragraph should be five to eight sentences. You received a five point deduction for not including the introduction or conclusion.

The Inappropriateness of the Death Sentence
Add an introduction paragraph. Comment by Darlene Bennett: The introduction needs a topic sentence that describes the main idea of the paragraph, then provide background information and finally, include the thesis statement. The introduction should be five to eight sentences in length.
Thesis Statement Comment by Darlene Bennett: The thesis statement cannot be isolated by itself. You need to insert it as the last sentence of the introductory paragraph.
The death penalty, as practiced in some societies in the world, has had its positive aspects and negative aspects and my stand are that it should be abolished in any democratic state that seeks to ensure justice for both the victims of crime and the offenders.
The death sentence is against the bible and other religious guidelines Comment by Darlene Bennett: Capitalize the word “Bible.”
Death sentences against convicted criminals in the society go against the spirit and guidelines provided by religious faiths regarding our stay here in the universe. Comment by Darlene Bennett: Casual tone, stay formal and do not use first person pronouns.
Religious laws quoted in religious books prohibited the execution of man whatsoever. According to these religious laws, there is no compromise or a reason big enough to necessitate the punishment of an offender through death. The ten commandments developed by God himself in the book of Deuteronomy, under commandment five, prohibits the killing of a man. Universal religious laws concur with the Christian teaching regarding the execution of man as a way of punishment (Goldman, 2017). Comment by Darlene Bennett: This is a generalization – do all religious books state this? By Old Testament law, people were stoned for certain infractions. Be specific and provide a source for your fact. Comment by Darlene Bennett:
Religious teachings in all religion term human life as sacred and one that is not subject to limitation, in all circumstance. According to the various religions, it is God only who can terminate the life of a human being. They recommend the use of other means of justice for offenders to reform and revert back to their normal lives in the society (Goldman, 2017).
Further, no method of executing criminals is humane, all the methods are painful, inhumane and disrespectful.

In the present changing social insurance framework, it is so imperative to be taught and included on the present issues. The ANA has been a promoter for profession improvement and improving the wellbeing for all Americans for more than 100 years. I need to turn into an individual from this long-standing association to keep awake to-date on issues, proceed with my training, and have any kind of effect in the nursing field.

Being an advocate means a lot, at many different levels. For instance, as LVN being an advocate is hands on, RN would be collaborating with many different discipling, BSN would be all the combination and take it to a management level. As working for hospice being a patient advocate is so important at the end of life. Working with dying patients and educating families about the medications needed for end of life comfort.

Comments: Excellent paper. It’s obvious that you put quite a bit of work into this. Unfortunately, your paper needs adequate citations in the body of the text to meet our standards on plagiarism. You need to cite each textbook from your bibliography whenever you quote or use some information from the textbook or other resource. For example, writing (Jones 285) after the quote or information used means that you got it from the book whose author was Jones and the info came from page 285.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a procedure in which laparoscopic techniques remove the gallbladder. It is the standard of care for symptomatic gallbladder disease, of which most are performed for symptomatic cholelithiasis. Other indications include acute cholecystitis, biliary dyskinesia, and gallstone pancreatitis.
Describe the reasons a patient might have the selected surgical procedure
The typical reason a cholecystectomy is a treatment of choice is inflammatory changes of gallbladder or blockage of bile flow by gallstones. Symptomatic cholelithiasis is the most common reason where gallstones in the gallbladder are blocking the bile flow and cause inflammation. The patient usually complains of episodic epigastric pain and right upper quadrant pain that radiates to the right shoulder. This pain is found to occur several hours after heavy meals and the patient experiences nausea, vomiting, bloating, fever, and right upper quadrant tenderness. Another condition is acute cholecystitis, where inflammation and symptoms are more prominent. The patient may have a fever, constant pain, positive Murphy's sign, or leukocytosis. Acute cholecystitis may be caused by calculous biliary tract disease with confirmed gallstones in the abdominal US. Acute acalculous cholecystitis usually occurs in critically ill patients, those with prolonged total parenteral nutrition, and some immunosuppressed patients. Patients with episodes of right upper quadrant pain (which are ‘classic' for biliary pain without evidence of cholelithiasis of US or ERCP) may also be referred for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Gallstone pancreatitis (when small stones pass through the cystic duct) confirmed by cholangiography is another indication for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Describe the reasons a patient might be disqualified for this surgery and the options for the patient if any
A patient might be excluded for laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to acute general conditions that are a contraindication for any surgery such as an acute cardiac failure, uncontrolled hypertension, acute renal failure, pneumonia, etc. The condition should be treated by a primary care provider or specialist and the patient should be stable prior surgery. Additional contraindications may include the inability to tolerate general anesthesia, significant portal hypertension, uncorrectable coagulopathy, and multiple prior operations.

Pragmatism is defined as a philosophical approach in which experience is the fundamental concept. Radu explains that in pragmatism, each experience is based on the interaction between subject and object, between self and its world and represents only the result of the integration of human beings into the environment (Radu, 2011). All in all, pragmatism promotes activity based learning. Pragmatism relates to Dewey’s work in many ways. The most significant being its rejection of traditional learning, and its emphasis on solving problems in a sensible way that suits conditions that really exist rather than obeying fixed theories, ideas, or rules (Cambridge, 2016).
Progressivism is a philosophical concept belonging to ‘new education’, is ‘a Copernican revolution’ in pedagogy, promoting ‘a child-centered school’ (Radu, 2011). Radu states that Dewey’s pedagogic view is not based on his philosophical concept, but al on the social, economic and cultural realities of American society (pg. 87). Progressivism is featured around the learning capacity continuing into adulthood; Dewey called this “permanent education”. Learning is done by doing; this is because Dewey believed authentic knowledge is achieved only through direct experience. Although Dewey though some target methods were necessary when teaching, he did not believe in teachers being forced to stick to routines (Radu 2011). This idea leads to the problem-problem solving method which in short states that in order to solve problem, an individual must: define the problem, analyze the problem, determine possible solutions, propose solutions, evaluate and select a solution, and determine strategies to implement solution. The progressive theory encourages learning through discovery, this allows the learner to acquire knowledge through interest, rather than effort.
Ragu also states that there are reactions against Dewey’s progressive education. Perennialism says that permanence is the fundamental feature of the world; not change. School is intended to promote the permanent values of the past and present. Essentialists believed the main purpose of school was to prepare th.

Social Media Acts as Catalyst for Policy Change
Technologies enable people to connect by shared beliefs and social movements, rather than by just national or ethnic identification. There is no longer a location-bound or time element in global communication. We seek out those who share our beliefs, and this allows us to harness the power of ideas across borders. Conduct some research into the power of social media to effect political change and consider the following questions, sharing one recent example:
Has the advent of “technology assisted communication” contributed to an expansion of the democratic process? If so, in what way(s)? Is this approach to democratic interaction workable for the future or just a unique event?
How has social media contributed to political change? Examine this question using the example from your research.

Day 08 ActivityFisher & HughesSeptember 21, 2018Study
A study was conducted to determine the effects of alcohol on human reaction times. Fifty-seven adult individuals within two-age groups were recruited for this study and were randomly allocated into one of three alcohol treatment groups – a control where the subjects remain sober during the entire study, a moderate group were the subject is supplied alcohol but is limited in such a way that their blood alcohol content (BAC) remains under the legal limit to drive (BAC of 0.08) and a group that received a high amount of alcohol to which their BAC may exceed the legal limit for driving. Each subject was trained on a video game system and their reaction time (in milliseconds) to a visual stimulus was recorded at 7 time points 30 minutes apart (labeled T0=0, T1=30, T2=60 and so on). At time point T0, all subjects were sober and those in one of the alcohol consumption groups began drinking after the first measured reaction time (controlled within the specifications outlined). The researcher is interested in determining the influence alcohol and age (namely, is reaction time different for those in the 20s versus 30s) has on reaction times.
The task for today is to do a complete analysis for this study and dig into the effects of alcohol, age and time have on reaction times.Data input and wrangling
First read in the data:alcohol <- read.csv("alcoholReaction.csv")
head(alcohol)## Subject Age Alcohol T0 T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 T6
## 1 1 24 Control 255.3 254.8 256.4 255.1 257.0 256.1 257.0
## 2 2 34 Control 250.1 249.2 249.0 248.0 248.0 248.9 248.1
## 3 3 31 Control 248.2 247.1 246.9 246.7 246.0 246.0 247.0
## 4 4 24 Control 253.9 253.8 254.9 254.1 253.2 254.1 255.0
## 5 5 38 Control 250.0 251.0 250.0 249.9 248.8 249.1 249.9
## 6 6 38 Control 246.0 248.0 247.0 248.1 248.1 246.9 244.0
Note, the Age variable is recorded as an actual age in years, not the category of 20s or 30s like we want – we need to dichotomize this variable. Also note the data is in wide format – the reaction times (the response variables) are spread over multiple columns. We need a way to gather these columns into a single column. So we need to do some data processing.
First consider the below code:head(alcohol %>%

Age %in% 31:40 ~ "30s")))## Subject Age Alcohol .

Additionally, this class is highly interactive, so your active
participation is necessary to create a cooperative learning
experience for the entire class. You should expect that late
responses to the discussion forums will have a negative impact
on your learning, your success in this class, and your grade. The
participation grade will be evaluated based on your ability to
3. respond thoughtfully to the given prompts, apply course content
to personal examples, and your attentiveness to the input of
others.
As mentioned above, all absences and partial absences in the
discussion forums will negatively influence your participation
grade.
Deadlines
Assignments are due on the day noted in the syllabus. Like in
the real world, poor time management or bad judgment on your
part does not qualify as an acceptable excuse for late work.
Expect point deductions for assignments not turned in on time.
Plan your week accordingly and plan for the worst. Have extra
places to save documents and know where you can get back up
internet if for some reason yours is not working at the time of
an important deadline. It is your responsibility to have back up
plans for when things don’t go your way!
Carlow University E-mail
You are expected to regularly check and read e-mail sent to
your Carlow e-mail account. Due to the Family Education
Records Privacy Act (known as the ‘Buckley Amendment’), I
will not send e-mail to alternate e-mail accounts. Due to
federal law, faculty members are required to communicate with
you through your Carlow account.
If you would like to forward your e-mail from your Carlow
account to another, more convenient, e-mail account, please
consult the Carlow Help Desk for Information Technology.
Celtic Online
As this course is an online course, your ability to navigate
Celtic Online is crucial to your success. Please make sure you
are familiar with the lay out and ask questions when you can’t
find something!
4. Technology Requirements
Since this is an online course, you will need consistent and
reliable access to the internet. It is your responsibility to have
back up internet options in the case that your personal internet
source is unavailable for some reason. The excuse of “no
internet” when it comes to assignments being turned in on time
will not be acceptable. Your presentation will also be recorded;
therefore, you will need to have access to a computer with
recording capabilities (e.g., camera and mic with reliable and
good quality video output).
Library Research
Electronic Access to Library Sources:Carlow students may
connect to EBSCOhost or the Wilson Omnifile journal index, by
simply going to http://library.carlow.edu
If for any reason you experience trouble with this process,
please stop by the library, located in the Learning Commons, or
call the library at 412-578-6139, or e-mail the library at
[email protected]. Please do not contact the instructor. If you
do so, it may delay in getting you appropriate assistance and
technical support.
Credible Sources:You are required to use credible sources for
your evidence; this does not include Wikipedia. Access articles
from printed journals, newspapers, books or online databases,
which are available from the libraries home page. This also
includes credible media sources, such as radio shows (National
Public Radio-NPR) and TV news shows, as well as personal
interviews with appropriate credible individuals.
University Policies
Academic Integrity:
Carlow University aims to educate and challenge students to
reach their highest potential by guiding students along a path of
honesty and integrity throughout their intellectual pursuits.
5. Students are thus expected to uphold the highest standards of
academic integrity. Forms of academic misconduct include (but
are not limited to):
· Cheating—providing or receiving inappropriate assistance on
any coursework.
· Plagiarism—submitting another’s work as one’s own; not
properly citing sources, using exact wording without quotations
or proper attribution, paraphrasing without proper citation, or
improper paraphrasing; attributing citations to inaccurate or
misleading sources.
· Self-plagiarism—unauthorized use of one’s own work or part
of a work, either from the same course or from another course,
in more than one assignment.
· Academic deceit—use of false or altered information or
withholding information critical to the processes of the
University; providing false information or documentation with
the intent to obtain an exemption, extension or exception to
one’s coursework; signing other students into classes or on
group reports.
· Fabrication of data—using falsified or fabricated data,
forgery, or unsanctioned documents for research or other
coursework.
· Interference with other students’ learning or achievement—
sabotaging (including failing to contribute to) group projects or
laboratory work, disrupting in-class work, altering computer
files or online posts, or making educational materials
unavailable to others.
· Unauthorized acquisition or exchange of coursework—
purchasing, borrowing, stealing, or otherwise obtaining material
with the intent to use as one’s own coursework; selling, lending,
or otherwise offering one’s own coursework to others with the
intent of allowing the recipient to use the work as one’s own;
obtaining a copy of one’s own completed tests and exams
(either a physical copy, an electronic image, or a screenshot)
without explicit permission from the course instructor.
· Copyright violation—distributing copyrighted material,
6. including course material provided by the instructor or obtained
from the textbook, without explicit permission from the
copyright holder.
All violations of Carlow’s academic integrity policy will be
kept on permanent record. Serious or multiple violations will be
forwarded to the Academic Integrity Committee for a judicial
hearing.
It is the student’s responsibility to become familiarized with
Carlow’s Academic Integrity Policy. The full policy can be
found in the Course Catalog.
Policy on Sharing of Course Material
All course material, including but not limited to presentation
slides, lecture notes, handouts, audio or video recordings,
syllabi, assignments, quizzes, tests, and exams, are the legal
property of the instructor who developed them, the University
that commissioned the work, or the textbook publisher. Students
may use this material for their own learning and for discussion
with other students in the class, but may not redistribute it in
any way, including uploading it online for others to access.
Doing so violates the copyright law and Carlow’s policy on
sharing of course material. In addition, sharing or accessing
course material for the purpose of gaining an unfair advantage
in the course or allowing others to gain an unfair advantage in
the course violates Carlow’s academic integrity policy.
Students with Disabilities Policy
Carlow University makes every effort to provide reasonable
accommodations for students with disabilities. This includes
individuals with physical disabilities, learning disabilities and
mental health disorders who meet the definition of disability
under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Students with
disabilities have the same responsibility as other students to
meet the University's academic, technical, and behavioral
standards and to follow the University's general policies and
guidelines regarding standards of conduct. Students who plan
7. to request accommodations should contact the Disabilities
Services Office at the beginning of each semester since
accommodations cannot be granted retroactively. To determine
whether you qualify for accommodations, or if you have
questions about services and procedures for students with
disabilities contact:

Carlow University Temporary Disability Policy
Carlow University values each student and is invested in
encouraging his or her academic success in line with the Mercy
mission “to respond reverently to God and others; and to
embrace an ethic of service for a just and merciful world.” In
keeping with the mission, the University has chosen to offer
assistance to those with temporary conditions such as short term
illnesses, injuries, or other temporary medical conditions. While
the University is not required to provide such support under the
Americans with Disabilities Act, some assistance may be
arranged via the Disability Services Office (DSO). Each
situation will be reviewed; however, the office cannot guarantee
that services will be provided.
In order to determine if a student with a temporary condition
may receive some assistance via the DSO, he/she should contact
the office at 412 578-6257. The student will be asked to meet
with Jackie Smith, Disabilities Services Representative, and to
provide the requisite documentation of his/her condition. Mrs.
Smith will review the documentation and may consult with the
student accommodation committee to determine what, if any,
8. assistance may be provided. All documentation will remain
confidential.

Self-Assessment Portfolio
This assignment asks you to reflect upon your own interpersonal
communication skills and evaluate your effectiveness as a
communicator in interpersonal situations. There are a variety of
self-assessments to choose from and the documents containing
these assessments are in a folder on the course CelticOnline
page. Choose 10 assessments to complete and make sure to
complete the assessment first before reading more about what
the assessment attempts to measure. Try to choose a variety of
assessments to obtain a well-rounded understanding of your
interpersonal communication skills.
After completing the assessments, for each assessment you will
need to complete a 2-page assignment in which you need to
address the following concerns:
· Description —describe the exercise/assignment using the
concepts discussed in class and in the textbook.
· Purpose —identify the purpose of the exercise by relating the
exercise to the principles or theories discussed in class, in the
textbook, in additional readings, and/or additional information
provided about the assessment.
· Analysis —analyze the process of the exercise, i.e., what you
learned and how you came to realize key concepts related to the
purpose; analyze your strengths and limitations related to this
competency.
· Self-Assessment —conclude your report by stating how
principles learned can be applied to your personal
18. communication skills and/or your success in interpersonal
relationships; what have you learned to help you develop this
competency?
I suggest you complete assessments as we cover the
corresponding material in class. Additional documents contain
original research that cover the purposes and definitions of each
assessment.
BE SURE TO GIVE PROPER CITATIONS FOR
WORK/IDEAS/CONCEPTS THAT ARE NOT YOUR OWN.
Each assignment should have a reference sheet where you site
your sources that contributed to your understanding of that
assessment.
Your Self-Assessment Portfolio is due at the end of week 8.
Please compile all the materials into one document. Each
assessment should be included with your responses noted,
followed by its reflection assignment and then the reference
sheet. This order will occur 10 times for all 10 self-assessments.
You will be penalized for lack of organization in this manner.
This portfolio is worth 100 points.
