SOFTWARE AND SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: A fully functioning version of Microsoft Project 2 013/2016 is required for this course. Students must have access to this so ft w a re by the first day of the quarter and the program must be available until the last day of the q uarter. MS Pr o j ect runs on a W indows OS, on a B o ot -Camp p a Windows. You can download the software for free under the ITAM Departments Microsoft Imagine account. Important Not e: In past quarters, some students have encountered problems accessing Imagine which has prevented those students from downloading MS Project 2016 in the first module of the course. Each student must put a backup plan into place if this problem is experienced. Two different solutions to the problem are available to each student: 1. Make use of the CWU computer labs that have Project 2016 . There are labs at the Main CWU Campus and the Satellite Campuses that run Project 2016 . Please use the labs to stay current in the class while the details of your Imagine account is being addressed. 2. Download the 30 day trial version of Project 2016 from Microsoft to your home computer while the details of your Imagine account is being addressed. After you have gained access to Imagine , you should be able to use the software key to unlock your trial version or you can simply re download the software follow ing the instructions on the Imagine website. Extensions will not be granted for assignments missed in the first module of the course because of difficulty with the Imagine account subscription.

Any assignment found to have a similarity score of 25% or higher will not b review your TII score, make changes, and re submit if needed. Documents with an exceedingly high TII score will be investigated for plagiarism. If plagiarism is detected, whether intentional or unintentional, a failing grade will be issued for the class and an academic violation may be filed. All work submitted for this course must be original and not recycled from other classes. Compressed or zipped files will not be accepted as they will not run through TurnItIn.

However, I will answer ALL questions you have before submitting the assignment and do everything I can to help you understand the work required. Once an assignment is graded, you may not make corrections and resubmit for a better grade. Communication: Please use Canvas for all questions or communications. Always create a new Canvas message (dont reply to my comments on assignments). I will respond wit hin 24 36 hours Monday Friday. On weekends, expect a longer response time. Additional Information: As a University student, checking deadlines, avoiding plagiarism, polite discussion, and discussion etiquette are expected. Expect to be challenged, but know your professor is always willing to help with struggles, questions, or other issues! More information regarding academic dishonesty, student behavior, diversity, and disability services is available in this syllabus.

TurnItIn matches the material in student papers against material on the Internet and in our database of CWU papers. Representing the words or ideas of someone else as your own is a violation of the CWU Student C onduct C ode and a serious infraction in this course. If you have questions about appropriate ways to include the word s or ideas of other people in your papers, contact the instructor. Papers submitted to TurnItIn are added to the database of papers. Your instructor has the option of what papers and assignments may be submitted and/or randomly submitted to TurnItIn. Ca nvas TurnItIn If you have a disability that may prevent you from meeting course requirements, contact the instructor immediately to file a Student Disability Statement and to develop an Accommodation Plan. Course requirements will not be waived but reasonable accommodations will be developed to help you meet the requirements. You are expected to work with the instructor and the CWU Disability Support Specialist to develop and implement a reasonable Accommodation Plan.
