The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Attendance
Late Work
• No late homework will be accepted. The
lowest score from each category (except
Final Project) will be dropped to
accommodate emergencies. This policy is
to prevent getting backed up for students and
to also help with procrastination issues that I
have seen over the years that I have taught
this class
• I follow OTC’s attendance policy, read
below…. Before you do, I want to point out
the following graph taken from a Calculus
class at North Carolina State University
(NCSU). Notice as the number of absences
increase, the grades sharply decrease.
THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN ATTENDANCE AND MATH
GRADE. GO TO CLASS!!! (Mine and your
Math Class!)
Also, encouraged in this class are Employability Skills which include the following characteristics:
Punctuality
Good attendance
A cooperative and positive attitude
Effective verbal and written communication skills.
A strong work ethic.
TLC 023 102 Spring 2014
4. OTC Policies
ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT
All students are expected to be present for their scheduled classes and labs. Regular attendance and
participation are required. Absences will be considered justified and excusable only in cases of emergencies,
serious illness or death in the immediate family.
ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWAL FROM A COURSE
It is the policy of the College that a student will be administratively withdrawn from a course due to lack of
attendance in seated classes or nonparticipation in online classes (Policy 5.36).
The number of absences that will result in administrative withdrawal from this class is 6 days or 2.consecutive
calendar weeks. (I follow this policy)
Students should be aware that administrative withdrawal for lack of attendance or nonparticipation may reduce
the amount of financial aid they receive, delay their graduation or necessitate repayment of aid already received
and does not relieve their obligation to pay all tuition and fees due to the College.
NON-DISCRIMINATION STATEMENT
Ozarks Technical Community College prohibits discrimination and harassment and provides equal opportunities
in its admissions, educational programs, activities and employment, regardless of race, color, religion, gender,
national origin, age, marital status, sexual orientation, political affiliation, veteran status and disabilities that
include HIV and AIDS and medical conditions. Bona fide occupational qualifications will be allowed in those
instances where age, gender or physical requirements apply to the appropriate and efficient administration of the
position. Any person having inquiries concerning OTC’s compliance with these regulations may contact Julia
Edwards, Title IX and Section 504 Coordinator, 1001 E. Chestnut Expressway, Springfield, MO 65802,
417.447.8188.
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA)
Any student should notify this instructor immediately if special assistance or devices are needed to
accommodate a disability. This College complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and makes
every effort to ensure disabled persons admitted to the College as students or employed by the College are
afforded all the rights and privileges provided to them by State and Federal law.
To request academic accommodations for a disability, contact Disability Support Services at 417.447.8189 or in
ICE 127. Students are required to provide documentation of disability to Disability Support Services prior to
receiving accommodations.
DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES
Disability Support Services has been designated by the college as the primary office to guide, counsel and assist
students with disabilities. If you receive services through the Disability Support Services Office and require
accommodations for this class, make an appointment with your instructor as soon as possible to discuss your
approved accommodation needs. Bring your Accommodation Memo provided by the DSS Office to the
appointment. Your instructor will hold any information you share in strictest confidence.
ACADEMIC AND COURSE GRADE APPEAL
The College has established an equitable and orderly process to resolve academic dissatisfaction at the College.
This may include final grades, instructional procedures, attendance, instructional quality and situations related to
academic issues.
For more information concerning the Academic and Course Grade Appeal procedure, please refer to the Student
Handbook.
GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE FOR NON-ACADEMIC ISSUES
Students having complaints, other than grade appeals or academic dissatisfaction, which cannot readily be
resolved through normal channels, may bring their complaints to the Dean of Student Development. If the Dean
of Student Development cannot satisfactorily resolve the complaint, the student may request the matter be
referred to the College Student Grievance Committee. The chairperson will convene the committee. The
committee will hear the complaint and make a recommendation for resolution to the College president. The
decision of the College president shall be final.
TLC 023 102 Spring 2014
5. ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
Academic integrity represents one of the most essential elements of the teaching and learning process. All
members of the OTC community are expected to fulfill their academic obligations through honest and
independent effort. By submitting coursework to your instructor as an OTC student, you pledge that the
work is truly your own.
Violations of academic integrity—which include but are not limited to cheating, collusion, plagiarism, and other
forms of academic misconduct—damage your personal character and thwart your instructors’ ability to promote
your learning. As an OTC student, you are responsible for knowing and following the College’s policies and
procedures regarding academic integrity. These guidelines and more information related to academic integrity are
available in the Student Handbook, on the OTC Academic Integrity Web page, and in College Policy 5.15.
The College recognizes that academic integrity is complex and can be confusing. Therefore, you are
obligated to review these information sources carefully and to seek needed clarification from your
instructor concerning questions of collaborative work, citation of sources, or other issues related to
academic integrity.
DROPPING A CLASS
It is your responsibility to understand the College’s procedure for dropping a class. If you stop attending this class
but do not follow proper procedure for dropping the class, you will receive a failing grade. To drop a class,
complete the necessary form in Student Services or via the Access OTC tab in MyOTC.
Failure to properly withdraw from classes can have a detrimental effect on your grade point average and your
future educational goals.
See the College website or contact Student Services for drop deadlines. (approx. April 11)
COMPUTER USE EXPECTATIONS FOR SEATED COURSES
In today’s computer based society, it is imperative that students develop computer based skills. Therefore,
Ozarks Technical Community College students will be expected to use technology to assist them in the
learning process. At a minimum, students will be expected to log on to the online learning platform where the
course syllabus and faculty information are located. (I use the Blackboard site quite a bit. I will be here to help
you, especially if you are unfamiliar with computers. Do not let yourself stress over the computers in class. I
mostly use them for keeping assignments organized and grades readily available to you.
In a “seated” course, the time spent in class should be the primary venue used to deliver the content of the course
as stated in the course abstract. The manner in which that content is delivered in the classroom is left to the
discretion of the instructor.
In a “seated” course, the administering of course assessments (other than “traditional” assessments including, but
not limited to, research papers, essays, mathematical problem sets, etc.) should be conducted primarily during
the regularly-scheduled class periods. The manner in which those assessments are administered is left to the
discretion of the instructor. The use of assessments (administered online) outside the regularly-scheduled class
periods are acceptable provided the following criteria are met:
the number of assessments are conducted on a limited basis;
the percentage of the course grade comprised by the online assessments is kept to a minimum.
