*** 1,000 BA review! Even though there have been many more.... Been holding this for a little while.***
A: Cloudy bright golden yellow color. High carbonation. Streaming bubbles from the bottom. Sticky lacing sheeting.
S: Smells fabulous. Very vinous. White grape. Some horseblanket. Some lemon zest and slight pepper hints.
T: Again, very vinous. Really get that oak aging and wine character. It's a delicious Saison. Getting that pepper spice. That grassy grainy character. Also, white grape and slight green apple flavors. Very dry and refreshing. Enjoying on a warm summer day.
M: Medium bodied. Round mouth from aging.

375ml bottle poured into a 3 Floyds Teku.
A~ glowing creamsicle orange, almost as if theres a light illuminating the beer. looks like an amazing glass of tang lol. nice fluffy white head with a little lacing as it goes down.
S~ lots of citrus, lemon, lime, mango, orange, grapefruit, guava and i could probably keep going haha followed by an amazing peppery saison sensation then some bready yeast and honey all around.
T~ well the nose doesn't come up short here! lots of barnyard, tart, funky goodness. i love how sour the CD series brews end up being. some wheat from Flora is there and the honey from Ann really shines to make this brew all sorts of amazing!
M~ smoooth! of course... very nicely carbonated, not as dry as i expected and nice thickness from the honey.
O~ yup... holy shit! a perfect 4.5 in my opinion! i love the acidity, blending these wine barrel aged brews is just a whole another beast. why can't i drink HF saisons every single day!

Big thanks to Kyle for this one. 375ml bottle into a Hill Farmstead flute. Shared with schen9303.
A bit of a gusher. Pours a .25 finger coarse white head with poor retention. Beer is a clear, pale gold. Lacing is stringy and web-like with good cling. Very nice.
Nose is lemon zest, yeast, barnyard funk, and a lively tartness. Moderately aromatic. Solid.
Opens tart lemon zest and slightly bitter yeastiness. Middle is coriander, more lemon tartness, and a clean bittersweet spice. End is hay, wood, and yeast. Finishes messy and yeasty with a tart, sticky aftertaste. Great balance. Just really enjoyable.
Light bodied with high carbonation. Lively and aggressive in the mouth and goes down foamy and yeasty. Messy and accented finish with a lingering aftertaste. Real drinkable.
Very good, but overall, as a Hill Farmstead saison, this one's a bit of a disappointment. The body and nose are nice enough but the flavor is a bit plain. There's nothing that stands out to me in CD5 that separates itself from its brethren. That being said, this is still Hill Farmstead and therefore, a more than enjoyable beer.

Huge thanks to phingdong for getting this one to me. Served in a Hill Farmstead wine glass. Pours a crystal clear straw color. Nice and sparkling with a good white head. Nice retention and lacing.
The nose has light hay and a bit of lemon. Dry and light; very crisp. A bit of lingering citrus, earth, and farmhouse funk. Flavor is very dry with hay and a very faint acidity. Touch of white wine and oak in the background. Light lemon zest through the finish. Very bright. Supremely drinkable.

Bottle served into a teku.
A: Hazy golden colored beer with about an inch of white, foamy head.
S: Smell is super funky. Lots of fruitiness, grape and oranges. White wine aroma. Some spicy pepperiness. Smells amazing, kinda like a lambic/saison blend going on here.
T: Wow. I have to say this is one of the best beers I've tasted so far. Starts off with funky grapes and white wine. Lactic acid character, lemony, tart fruits. Must be the bugs used but it reminds me a lot of Juicy/Mimosa. Finishes with oak dryness paired with wine and brett earthy/mustiness. A bit of a sweet malty/bready flavor close to the end as well.
M: Very nice clean, lemony tartness. Not overpowering though, very well done. Nice, medium mouthfeel with nice carbonation. The dryness at the end is great.
O: One of my favorite Hill Farmstead beers and one of my favorite overall. This is a very well done soured saison. I'm glad I have another bottle left, I will be trying it down the road to see if the funkiness develops into something nice.

Another rarity shared by Todd. Served in a tulip at my post-dissertation defense party.
A - White foam, thin cap, splotchy lace. Milky straw body - definitely a single barrel sort of look here, although perhaps a more careful pour would have yielded better results.
S - The smell is surprisingly heavy on the honey, with a nice tropical fruit funk, and light hand lotion and lavender soap malt flavors. A bit of peppery yeast and mild phenolic character.
T - The flavor is a little more dry, oak, and slightly seltzery, with less malt sweetness and honey present. A tad soapy, with lactic lemon character, and tart stone fruits. Finish is oaky, vinous, with a bit of musty brett.
M - Dry, oaky, tannic, with soft medium-low carbonation. No alcohol presence, and medium-light in body.
D - Good beer, and among the best in the series. That being said, it seems like a bit less than the sum of its parts, as I think I like all the base Saisons just as much. Not worth a king's ransom, but certainly a well-made brew.

375 mL bottle poured into a snifter.
Appearance - Quite a clear yellow golden body. Nice white head. Nice retention. Clings to the glass.
Smell - Complex aroma. Some acidity. Honey. Musty grapes and white wine. Slightly peppery. Yeasty.
Taste - Much more sour than any of the base saisons. Tart without being sour. Grainy malt. Sweet, but less honey. Peppery flavor in the back. Less complex, but excellent.
Mouthfeel - Just shy of crisp. Excellent tartness. Well carbonated.
Overall - Maybe not as good as Ann. The flavor isn't quite as complex, but it's excellent.

Bottle shared by schooner12 at NWI Super bowl tasting
A - Very light lemonade with a slight hazy white to it. It looks to have a thicker body for the style. Not much of a head but did have lots of white foam on the side
S - Smells like a sour saison. Tart vinegar, slight blue cheese, grassy, lemon, and slight pepper
T - Tart vinegar, lemon rind, light green apple, and slight pepper initially. There is also a blue cheese and farmhouse funk that makes itself known near the end and lingers on in the finish
M - Light body with good carbonation. There is a dry finish to it
O - Solid slightly sour saison that has good flavor throughout. it's nice to get the mix of tart and funk together.

Split with mongo a couple weeks ago, poured into a HF tulip at cellar temp. Thanks jedwards, the HF you send never gets old!
A - Light orange body, good white head. Nice lacing.
S - Slightly tart with Saison spices, hint of citrus, lemons and oranges.
T - Soft Saison spices with mildly tart lemon. The lemon bites and then a malty finish comes through.
M - Light side of medium.
O - Pretty good overall, which is what I've come to expect from HF Saisons. The only thing that I'd change would be the finish.

4.45/5 rDev +0.9%
look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.5
Appearance: Poured a hazy golden-straw like colour. Poured slowly, minimal head.
Smell: A little funky, citrusy, oaky. Very nice smell, very "soft", if that makes any sense.
Taste: Very nice. Funky, saison-like character is there. A bit of citrus. Very refreshing. Oak is definitely there.
Mouthfeel: This is where I feel the CD 5 is different. It has a smooth, creamy mouthfeel unlike the crispness of other saisons (Arthur, Anna, etc). I would credit this characteristic to the blending and the barrel.
Overall: I drank this in celebration of attaining a internship with an organization I had wanted to become involved with for years. The beer did not disappoint. Was it the best beer I've ever had? No. I really liked it, but I believe I would still consume Arthur more regularly if both were released on consistent basis.
I bought this beer on a trip made from Montreal to HF. Everyone should visit if they have the chance. It's a great experience.

Big thank you to montrealbcr89 for this treat from Vermont!
Appearance. Pours a hazy yellow gold with a finger of frothy white head.
Smell. Very light belgian yeast, lightly funky. There's some honey, woody chardonay, and a bit of orchard fruits and blossoms.. Smells very refined and very delicious.
Taste. Lightly funky, woody white wine and saison yeast, light sourness, some fruit blossoms and a touch of honey. Again, very refined and delicious.
Mouthfeel. Lighter body with fairly lights, delicate carbonation which suits this beer well.
Overall. A fantastic saison. Delicate and delicious. Thanks again, montrealbcr89. A nice way to celebrate the end of a great year, and the start of another.

Received this bottle in a recent trade and I'm excited about finally getting to try a HF beer.. I love saisons as well so...
Hmmmm... The nose on this has me thinking more, "Gueuze" than "Saison". Right off the bat, I get this sharp acidic grape note that definitely screams wine barrel.. Very little of the yeasty funkiness one would normally find in a saison, but I'm not really complaining. It's just.... different that I was expecting..
Loads of wine notes flood the palate with each sip... Tart and acidic although not bracingly sour... this definitely drinks like a gueuze to me... a mild one, mind you... but a gueuze... I'm not 100% sure I'm a huge fan of putting this in a barrel as opposed to just blending all 3 together... This seems a little all over the place... the barrel dominates and not necessarily in a good way...
I really wanted to like this more, I really did.. It just fell a little short for me... there are much better examples of the style than this...

375ml bottle opened on November 29, 2012.
Pours a slightly hazy saffron with a half-finger of creamy head. Resilient, spotty lacing.
Juicy Fruit™, jackfruit, faint peach, and orange. Complementing oak, with a touch of tart citrus rounding out the back end of the nose. Bright, clean, and appetizing aroma.
The palate is comparatively cluttered; there's a clear sense in which all three of the base beers are present in the blend. CD5 opens with a sharp, short citric acidity which blends with a note of juicy white grape, followed by soft mango and pear, and finishing oaky and lemony. The base is fairly sweet and biscuity.
Medium-thin bodied, but a little heavy on the tongue. Tightly acidic. Nice balance between the fruity notes, acid, and saison base.
The nose is delightful, but this doesn't translate to the palate as well as Ann or Art do. Very good, if you can believe it, just not very, very good.

Bottle poured into a Hill Farmstead stem.
Pour: Hazy yellow-orange, with two fingers of white, fluffy head. Head hangs around a bit, and leaves superb lacing. Per the usual, this Hill Farmstead beer looks flawless.
Smell: Wow. White grape must up front, followed by a nice pear and green apple tartness. A slight touch of lemon in there. Sweetness is light and yeasty.
Taste: At first, a twang of pear tartness, followed a lemon tartness and then a more complex white grape funk. Lots of white wine comes in next as this beer flexes its barrel treatment. Finishes with a biscuit sweetness, and a really nice oaky dryness. A light white grape must lingers on the palate.
Mouthfeel: Tartness is beautiful, but not acetic or puckering, just clean and lemony. Sweetness is just barely there. A little doughy through the middle to finish, but the oaky dryness makes the finish here beautiful.
Overall: Hands down the best saison I've ever had. Super clean, and incredibly delicate. The flavors from Ann, Art, and Flora really meld together here beautifully.
Also, it feels weird to review all of these beers from HF so highly, but seriously, there are no complaints with this beer. The slight doughyness in the mouthfeel was nitpicking at best. Another beautiful beer from HF. Thank you Shaun!

375 mL bottle shared by Starr. Thanks.
Pours a hazy, pale straw gol with a thin, crisp white head. Fades to a thin collar and dots of lace. Nose of oak, grass, lemon, peach, red grape, straw and light acidity though it lacks the immediate visceral punch of some of HF's other saisons. Flavor starts with citric acidity, grape, and grass. Reminds me a lot of how Art batch 1 tastes currently, with a little bit of Flora's lactic and tart presence. Honestly not tasting much of Ann other than the strong doughy base to the body. Mouthfeel is medium thin, well carbonated and a strong woody and slightly acidic finish. Very balanced and crisp, but honestly let down by what were admittedly colossal, unfair expectations. Probably wouldn't age this or trade your soul for this (I'm confident that if you pulled a Pepsi Challenge on this with new batches of Arthur and Vera Mae, well, rare wouldn't win), but still an exceptional saison as usual from HF.

Huge thanks to Prost76 for sending this my way.
Beer pours a hazy light yellow with a thin white head. Aroma doesn't hit you over the head, but still is pretty impressive, though a little more subtle than I would've expected. It's a nice mix of oak, some unidentified fruit and funk. Flavor is very nice and complex, but I think I was expecting a bit more. I'm certainly getting the oak of Art and light tartness of Flora, with a hint of funkiness, but it's got a bit of an odd woody flavor in the finish. Whatever fruit (grape?) that was in the smell certainly comes through here as well in a nice way. The flavors, unfortunately, aren't as bright as I expected. Mouthfeel is a little on the thin side too and carbonation isn't huge to give it more life. tOverall, another nice saison from HF, but this one isn't as outstanding as the earlier reviews would indicate. It seems to be less than the sum of its parts.

Civil Disobedience #5 pours a hazy straw yellow with a moderate sized creamy head on top. A fair amount of lacing clings to the glass.
The aroma is fruity with a touch of funk. Notes of lemon rind, orange peel and a touch of oak and spice (pepper?) are present. I think I detected a little alcohol too.
Each sip of this medium bodied beer is soft and smooth with mild carbonation. The flavor begins sweet and finishes tart. Pale malt sweetness is quickly followed by lemon rind, orange peel, grape, mango and a touch of oak. It finishes moderately tart. Once gone the lemon and oak linger.
This is a very tasty, well balanced beer that's not overly spicy.

Served at 55 degrees into a HF tulip
Pours a hazy orange with a bright fluffy head that settles leaving some nice lacing and a ring of head around the glass
Smells of musty basement and a touch of oak.
First taste produces some tart citrus (lemon/grapefruit). Then you get the more funky, earthy tastes. Finishes with a white wine like quality. I'm diggin' this!
This feels great! There is a nice tartness that make your mouth water. As you swallow, it is just dry enough to make you want more.
Hill Farmstead fucking nails saisons, and this is no exception. This is one of my favorites...right up there with blue label Arthur. Haven't had Ann, so I can't compare that...Thanks Shaun for what you do.

Smells oak and yeasty. Lots of great spicy saison aromas. Smells like a blend of Ann and art...
Tastes very solid. Maybe not as solid as Ann. Certainly reminiscent of Art in a lot of ways. Very tasty beer.
Mouthfeel a great. Well carbonated and solid overall.
It's beer is very solid. One of hill farmstead's best barrel aged saisons yet.

Not Waiting for VLJs, Two Air Taxis Operate Out of Smaller Atlanta Airports
The air taxi is the latest in a long line of concepts meant to bridge the gap between driving and flying on packed airliners.
Air taxi pilot Sue Bolves takes an overnight bag when taking off from Atlanta's DeKalb-Peachtree Airport --- even if she's scheduled to return by the end of the day.
"You never know where the next call is going to take you," said Bolves, 45, of Newnan, a former commuter airline pilot. She recently signed on with SATSair, one of a bevy of new firms that aim to make regional air travel as simple as hailing a cab. "Even if it's only scheduled to be a one-hour trip, you have to be ready for anything."
Unlike traditional air charter firms that offer a few luxurious multimillion-dollar jets or turboprops for hire, air taxi services will use large fleets of small, single-pilot planes based in a single region. Instead of staying with customers for the duration of their trips as many charter crews do, air taxis drop off customers and fly on to the next fare.
Air taxi is the latest in a long line of concepts meant to bridge the gap between driving and flying on packed airliners. They include traditional charter service as well as "fractional" private jet programs that allow owners to share in the use of a plane.
Two air taxi firms --- SATSair and ImagineAir --- have begun flying in Atlanta using four-seat, single-engine Cirrus aircraft. Both hope to appeal to travelers seeking to avoid long airport lines or even longer drives. They book passengers by phone or Web and cater to business fliers taking short-notice trips.
The firms say their little propeller planes are building a market that they hope to someday fill with a new generation of "very light jets." But those planes, meant to cover longer distances, are just coming to market.
For now, SATSair and ImagineAir say they can operate profitably with their four-seat planes that cover 600 miles or less per flight.
Started in 2005
SATSair began flying in 2005 and put planes at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport in 2006. Based in Greenville, S.C., SATSair flies 26 Cirrus airplanes and has orders for 90 more. The company intends to operate small jets someday, but the Cirrus is likely to remain its workhorse.
"There was a real question in our minds whether people would be willing to fly in propeller planes," said Phil Quist, SATSair's marketing vice president. "The answer is clearly yes. When they get in the plane, it feels like a new car. And the market for people who have to go relatively short distances is a lot bigger than the market for longer trips."
Quist says air taxis save time for business travelers who would ordinarily drive. To a lesser extent, he said they compete with airlines and air charter firms.
Cirrus SR-22s, which are becoming the ubiquitous '57 Chevys of the air taxi world, carry a retail price of about $400,000 each. Their Minnesota-based manufacturer is a stockholder in private SATSair but also sells to competing firms. All Cirrus planes are equipped with a ballistic parachute that, in some emergencies, can bring the entire aircraft safely to the ground.
They also have leather seats and satellite radios for passenger comfort and entertainment.
SATSair charges between $400 and $595 an hour for its air taxis regardless of how many of the plane's three available seats customers occupy. The lower rate applies to customers who buy blocks of flight time. Just like a street taxi, the meter goes on when the engine starts running.
Customers typically book trips one day in advance, Quist said, on a first-come, first-served basis. About 85 percent of SATSair's flights are business trips, but leisure travel is growing.
"Our weekends are getting nearly as busy as weekdays," Quist said.
ImagineAir, based at Briscoe Field in Gwinnett County, plans to start air taxi service in March and is offering scenic flights in the meantime. Two of its five Cirrus planes have been delivered, and the company has ordered three twin-engine Eclipse 500 jets scheduled to begin arriving in early 2008.

Civil lawsuit. Does this mean that Mexico could take Holder and Obama to court on behalf of the victims of F&F? This could be interesting. Could also explain the tapdancing Obama is doing to placate Mexico.

The Pravda Messenger : Book Two
In 1825, Czar Alexander I of Russia was buried--but many did not believe that the body in the coffin was that of the czar. Rather, they believed that he had slipped away in disguise and was walking the roads of Russia as a humble monk. In 1975, a Russian named Yuri and his adolescent daughter Tanya approach a Soviet-era monastery in Leningrad, where an ancient tomb is opened--inside is the ancient, dessicated body of a monk--and a golden snuff box is removed and given to them. Tanya has a special gift--the Pravda: she can always recognize when someone is telling her the truth.

The Corruptible
"How much money would it take for you to betray the truth? Ex-homicide detective Ray Quinn never had glamorous thoughts of the life of a private investigator--but being cornered in a bathroom stall by the enraged philandering husband of a client? That's something he could live without. Retired from homicide and living with a painful disability, Ray's options are limited. Stick to the job, keep impetuous sidekick Crevis alive, and spend quiet evenings with trusted pal Jim Beam, that's about the best he can hope for. As a new client emerges, Ray finds himself in an impossibly large boardroom holding a check with enough zeros to finally lift him from his financial pit. The job seems easy enough: find Logan Ramsey, an ex-cop turned security officer who's taken off with sensitive corporate information. But few things are easy in Ray's world, regardless of the amount of zeros in the check. In what should be an open-and-shut case, Ray stumbles across Logan Ramsey in a seedy motel room. Only Ray wasn't the first to find him. Now Logan's dead, the client's information is nowhere to be found, and Ray's employer is less than forthcoming with the details. Suddenly the line between the good guys and bad guys isn't so clear. With a foot in both worlds and an illuminating look at an unhappy ending that could well be his own, which will Ray choose?"--P.

SOURCE Sbyke USA, LLC
LAS VEGAS, Feb. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The winter weather's about to heat up with the introduction of the Sbyke A20-a radically different kick scooter that solves the top five headaches posed by other popular scooters-when this new product debuts at the 2014 American International Toy Fair in New York.
The Sbyke family of scooters is an entirely new category of boardsport that's catching fire. Kids and adventure-seeking adults haven't let this year's slick ice and snow mounds spoil the fun. In fact, when Shenaya Shannon of MindWare received a Sbyke for review she said, "My son loves it! He rode around the office; too bad it's below zero outside. If only I could keep my co-workers off it!"
Sbyke USA's innovative line of kick scooters is a cross between a bicycle and a skateboard. Riders most often describe the experience as similar to the sensation of skiing or surfing, but without ever leaving the sidewalk. The Sbyke A20 is the third model in this popular line of kick scooters.
Sbyke is engineered to overcome the five most common challenges posed by other kick scooters. Here's how:
These five solutions make riding a lot more fun while allowing moms around the world to breathe a sigh of relief.
The new Sbyke A20 offers all the fun of the original Sbyke Pro20 at less than half the price. The appeal of the A20 struck a chord with Walmart, which is offering this fun new ride that carves like a skateboard and coasts like a bike at more than 200 stores in the U.S. According to Bart Wilson of Sbyke USA, "We listened to the marketplace. People of all ages are nuts about Sbyke, but many moms expressed the need for a value-priced model that still offered all the fun. We've achieved that with the Sbyke A20."
Toy Fair 2014 attendees will get to experience the Sbyke A20 first-hand. This year's event is expected to host 1,000 exhibitors from across the globe. It's taking place at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center February 16th through 19th. Sbyke USA will be at booth #5246 which is located in the Outdoor Toys, Play Equipment, Ride-on, Sports zone.
About Sbyke USA, LLC
Sbyke USA, LLC was formed in the boardsport mecca of San Clemente, California by beach locals Brad Wernli and brothers Bart and Steve Wilson. The Wilsons' legendary history of motorsport products and Wernli's vision of a quick-carving beach cruiser came together as the patented sbyke® rear-steer™ platform. This category of compact sports transports will support designs from kick scooters to electric runabouts. The company is headquartered at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Nevada.

What's New?
Some specialization within each team may take place in producing completed modules. This implies that only one member of a module producing team needs to be competent in Camtasia, which will be necessary for only the final two activities of those listed below. All of these activities are necessary for producing effective learning modules.
Individual proposals are still welcome, but priority will be given to teams producing for a common course. Please consider making your colleagues aware of this opportunity and teaming up to apply!

Advice to Senior Management – Work hard to develop a culture that values input of all employees, and is willing to have more flexibility of thoughts.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Geron
Pros – 100% 401K match, stock plan, stem cell program

Educational Philosophy: The facilitator's educational philosophy is one of inter-activeness based on lectures, readings, writings, and discussion thread dialogues. It is believed that such interaction will lead to the establishment of a life-long quest for knowledge and a continued appreciation for education.
Learning Outcomes: Core Learning Outcomes
For CJ 430, all students will complete a research proposal that examines the following seven basic topical issues relating to the study of research methods in criminal justice:
1. What are the major differences between the scientific approach and the human inquiry approach to causal and probabilistic reasoning?
2. What are the major ethical considerations and issues in research and what methods are used to address these?
3. What are the various levels of measurement and the key standards for measuring validity and reliability?
4. What are the major methods of collecting data and the importance of the type of research in dictating decisions of data collection?
5. What are the major differences and usages of statistics and types of data in the various research reports and evaluations?
6. What are the characteristics and differences between quantitative and qualitative data as they apply to field research?
7. What are the different techniques and options available for collecting and recording field observations?
The research proposal will address and equitably treat each of the seven topical areas. The issues and researched material should be integrated to provide a consolidated examination of the fundamental process of research in the criminal justice field. The research proposal should contain the following technical components:
1. A cover or title page.
2. A body of text, 10 – 12 typed, double-spaced pages (2,500 to 3,000 words) in length.
3. A reference page containing a minimum of 10 course-external resources.
4. Written in APA Style.
Link to Class RubricClass Assessment: Assignment of Grades
You will be graded on the weekly submission of drop-box assignments from assigned readings. Look under the tabs for assignment and discussion in each weekly unit.
You will be graded on the weekly submission of discussions of issues from assigned readings. This will include required interaction with classmates. Look under the tabs for assignment and discussion in each weekly unit.
There will be weekly online quizzes over assigned readings and an online mid-term examination during week 4 of the course. All quizzes and the mid-term will be a combination of multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions.
Proctored final examination- The final exam will be on the topics discussed weekly. For the final, there will be a combination of multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank responses.
A final proctored examination will be taken in a proctored testing environment during the 8th week at one of the Park University sites around the country or at an alternative location. For proctored examinations, photo identification is required at the time of the test. Guidelines for selecting an acceptable proctor can be found on the Park University Website.
Other Information on proctored exams:
It will be the responsibility of the student to arrange for a proctor, by the 6th week of the term, whom is accepted and approved by the course instructor.
Approval of proctors is the discretion of the Dr. White consistent with Park policy.
A proctor request form will be made available to you during the first week of class so that you can send your requested proctor to your instructor for approval.
Late Submission of Course Materials:
Even though this course is asynchronous there must be a schedule as a guide. Assignments and examinations cannot be made up, ex post facto. All course requirements and due dates are clearly indicated in the syllabus and outline. It is a matter of fairness because once the assignments and examinations have been posted there is potential for compromise. Therefore, make-up assignments and examinations are discouraged and will be available only for emergency reasons, appropriately documented. Further, the date due is the last but not the first date any assignment can be submitted. In other words papers, these tasks can be completed or accomplished at any time, before the deadline. It is a good idea to accomplish the task early so that personal events do not preclude a timely completion of the assignment.
Classroom Rules of Conduct: Course-Specific Policies:
This course is offered online, over the Internet, using the eCollege platform. This course is different than many Online classes because it involves writing an extensive paper. You will be doing reading and writing primarily by yourself, but with close contact and guidance by your instructor.
You have some work with your classmates in the discussion area. 1) In one portion of the discussion area, you should respond specifically to the question, based on the text and outside readings. 2) In the second area, you should be responding to the responses of your classmates.
In order to satisfactorily complete this online class, you should plan to spend twelve hours a week. I would suggest three hours be spent on the specific readings, two hours on the discussion board responses, three hours on the drop-box assignments, and four hours working on the research proposal. This is a three-semester upper-division-level college course. Please spend the needed time on the course.
Class weeks begin on Monday and end on Sunday. You will be graded on the work you completed by the end of Sunday; that is, if you have an e-mail assignment, it is due before Sunday late and if submitted later, it will be counted late. You will be graded on your participation in the two discussion areas on Sunday. Because of the difficulty of the task required in this course, you must stay current; otherwise, you will never finish.
Dr. White expects you to send research proposal assignments and drafts via the Internet in MS Word, not Word Perfect and not Works (that comes standard with many computers). If you plan to send by FAX or postal service, you must inform the instructor well in advance of due dates.
You should only use your Park e-mail for private messages to Dr. White and other students and for submission of research proposal drafts. The class discussion is for public messages. The discussion area is similar to a tradition classroom where anything you say may be heard/seen by everyone in the class.
Students should review the applicable online policies noted below. If you have questions about any of these policies, please contact your instructor for clarification.
Online Course Policies:
Policy #1: Submission of Work:
A class week is defined as the period of time between Monday 12:01 am CST and Sunday at 11:59 PM CST. The first week begins the first day of the term/semester. Assignments scheduled for completion during a class week should be completed and successfully submitted by the posted due date.
Create a back up file of every piece of work you submit for grading. This will ensure that a computer glitch or a glitch in cyberspace won't erase your efforts.
When files are sent attached to an email, the files should be in either Microsoft Word, RTF, ASCII, txt, or PDF file formats.
Policy #2: Ground Rules for Online Communication & Participation
General email: Students should use email for private messages to the instructor and other students. When sending email other than assignments, you must identify yourself fully by name and class in all email sent to your instructor and/or other members of our class.
Online threaded discussions: are public messages and all writings in this area will be viewable by the entire class or assigned group members.
Online Instructor Response Policy: Online Instructors will check email frequently and will respond to course-related questions within 24-48 hours.
Observation of "Netiquette": All your Online communications need to be composed with fairness, honesty and tact. Spelling and grammar are very important in an Online course. What you put into an Online course reflects on your level of professionalism. Here are a couple of Online references that discuss writing Online http://goto.intwg.com/ and netiquette http://www.albion.com/netiquette/corerules.html.
Please check the Announcements area before you ask general course "housekeeping" questions (i.e. how do I submit assignment 3?). If you don't see your question there, then please contact Dr. White.
Policy #3: What to do if you experience technical problems or have questions about the Online classroom.
If you experience computer difficulties (need help downloading a browser or plug-in, you need help logging into the course, or if you experience any errors or problems while in your Online course, click on the button in your Online Classroom, then click on the helpdesk menu item, and then fill out the form or call the helpdesk for assistance.
If the issue is preventing you from submitting or completing any coursework, contact your instructor immediately.
Policy #4
Class participation is considered a major component of this course. Each week there will be discussion questions posed for comment by each student. Additionally, it is expected that students will engage others in discussing the issues raised in the thread. To receive maximum credit for participation there is both a quality and quantity measurement. Quality is the degree to which the student addresses specific issues and comments of others. Quantity is the absolute number of postings. For example one could have 6 or 7 postings that did not relate to the issue and no credit would be awarded. However, if the minimum number of posting, three (3) to each colleague posting,were made that directly focused on the discussion issue then maximum credit would be awarded. The issue of quality and quantity are interrelated because simply making two comments to a couple of postings and leaving no other evidence of being involved in the discussion is insufficient for granting credit. Responding to comments or questions posed by Dr. White are not included in the Quantity component of the grading scheme.
When making comments to colleagues postings must be based on substantive evidence in support of your posting. A simple agree or disagree are insufficient and inconsistent with the discussion and debate concept of the virtual classroom.
The discussion thread is a "virtual classroom" which suggests participation throughout the discussion period. The opportunity to make comments and participate is limited to question 1 (through Wednesday) and question 2 (through Sunday). Comments or postings after those dates will not be evaluated for grading purposes. Additionally, single day participation during the window of opportunity is inconsistent with the virtual classroom concept and will result in a lower evaluation as to quality.
Course Topic/Dates/Assignments:
Academic Honesty:Academic integrity is the foundation of the academic community.
