C. COURSE DESIGN:
This course is predominantly “Online”, which means that students will not meet in a traditional
classroom. Assignments will take place on the course website on iCollege. The course includes
readings and other online media regarding the methods of research. If you do not have access to a
computer off campus, there are many computer labs on campus or public libraries you can use to
participate in the course.
Note: An online class is somewhat flexible with regard to your schedule but you must be responsible
for managing your time and for getting online each week no matter what else is going on in your life.
In general, you should sign into the class AT LEAST 4 times a week and check for emails or
notifications each day. See Section F (Course Requirements) for criteria students must meet for
their online participation in the course.
**Please Note: The course syllabus provides a general plan for the course.
Deviations may be necessary.
D. ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES:
Offices and Office Hours
I maintain an office in the School of Social Work in the 55 Park Place (5th floor, room 579). I
generally will be available for afternoon appointments on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Some
weeks, office hours may be held on different days/times and will be announced. If you wish to make
an appointment during scheduled office hours, please send an email requesting an appointment with
the desired date/time.
Communication:
Email: I primarily communicate with students through email in iCollege. I attempt to respond to
emails in a timely manner (w/i 24 hours on weekdays; w/i 72 hours on weekends). In order to
respond more effectively to your requests, I expect that emails are explicit and clear in identifying
who you are (email addresses are often cryptic) and indicating the nature of your inquiry and/or
request. For example: YOURNAME CITI Assignment. Do not submit any assignments by
email message.
Notifications: Announcements will be posted on the course iCollege website on a regular basis.
They will appear on the course iCollege Announcements dashboard when you log in and/or will be
sent to you directly as instant notifications to your mobile device. Please make certain to check
them regularly, as they will contain any important information about class concerns, assignment
updates and information, etc. Instructions for activating the Notifications tool to better insure that
you do not miss announcements can be found on the course iCollege website under Administrative
Issues (see “Notifications”).

F. Assignments/Expectations:
QUIZZES
There will be 8 quizzes (worth 5 points each) for the following class dates: Week 3, Week 4, Week 6,
Week 7, Week 8, Week 9, Week 12, and Week 15. Quizzes will be based on required textbook readings
and/or supplemental readings and videos. Questions will be made up of multiple-choice, matching, fill in
the blanks, true/false, and/or short answer items. Each quiz will be released approximately 12 days prior
to their due dates. The timeframe for each quiz will be announced.
Please pay attention to the following when taking quizzes on iCollege:
Select an answer for every question. Unanswered questions will be scored as zero.
Click on the Save and Next Page button below each answered question. After you have answered all
questions, Click the Save All Responses and Go Submit Quiz buttons after answering all items.
Under “Quiz Submission Confirmation”, Click the Submit Quiz botton.
Quizzes will be available for multiple attempts during the assessment period and will not be
accessible on iCollege after the due date and time have passed.
Quiz Policy – Missed quizzes will count as a zero. Consideration for missed quizzes will be given for
extenuating circumstances only (e.g., serious illness, death of a family member). Other excuses will not be
given consideration. If extenuating circumstances arise preventing a student from taking the quiz in the
required time period, it is important to inform the instructor ASAP before the due date. Should a student be
granted an excuse for a quiz, it is the responsibility of the student to arrange a make-up quiz. THE
STUDENT MUST ARRANGE AND TAKE THE MAKE-UP QUIZ WITHIN ONE WEEK OF THE
ORIGINAL DUE DATE GIVEN TO THE CLASS. Quizzes will not be given after this one-week period
has ended. If a student fails to take the make-up quiz within this one-week period, he/she will receive a
ZERO for that quiz. Exceptions to this rule may be given if conditions warrant, at the discretion of the
instructor. Make-up quizzes will be a different version than the original.
Human Subjects On-line (CITI) Training
The main purpose of this assignment is to gain an overview of important historical and current issues
in the protection of human research subjects. For this assignment, students are to complete all 12
modules for Group 2 – Social Behavioral. Completion of all 12 modules typically takes about four
hours. The system allows you to stop your session and return at a later time to the place where you
left off. Scores on the CITI Training assignment are based on percentage of questions answered
correctly. Upon completion, save a copy of your Course Completion Report as a PDF and submit it
on iCollege in the appropriate Assignment tab. Please note the following: “The Collaborative
Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) is a federal graduation requirement which must be completed
by all graduate students within the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies in order to graduate”.
Instructions for registering and completing the CITI Training can be found on the course iCollege
content page under the Assignments tab (see CITI Training). Due February 10 (11:59pm).
QUALITATIVE INTERVIEW: EXPLORING YOUR DOMAIN(S) OF INTEREST
Students will develop and conduct a qualitative, tape-recorded interview. Detailed instructions are on
page 12 of the syllabus. Due March 31 (11:59 pm).
SW7300 Syllabus
│Page 5
LITERATURE REVIEW: INTERVENTION EVALUATION
Students will locate, summarize, and critique research that evaluates a treatment or intervention for a
Social Work problem.
Detailed instructions are on pages 13 – 14 of the syllabus.
Intervention Evaluation Literature Review Due Dates:
o February 10 (Notification of topic selection)
o March 10 (Draft of Literature Review)
o April 21 (Final version of Literature Review)
MAKE-UP POLICY
Assignments should be completed on the dates in the syllabus and/or on iCollege. If extenuating
circumstances prevent this, alternative plans must be negotiated with the instructor prior to the due
dates. Students who do not complete an assignment on time without prior permission of the
instructor will have a reduction in their grade for that assignment. The amount of grade reduction
will be equivalent up to 10% of the total assignment score for each day the assignment is late.
G. Class Attendance and Participation Policy:
Class attendance, participation, punctuality, and engagement are considered essential to both academic
and professional development as a social worker and will be documented by faculty during all courses.
Any concerns will be reported to the appropriate chair of the MSW Program Committee and
addressed accordingly (See review process, Student Handbook, School of Social Work).
There will be three in-person class sessions: January 18, February 15, and March 15.
Attendance is required. These class sessions will meet in Aderhold Learning Center – Room 205.
Attendance is tied directly to the “Class Attendance” credit of 10 points. Please note that unexcused
absences for class sessions will be addressed in the following manner:
1 absence = 5 points
2 absences = 2 points
3 absences = 0 points
Course activities will occur predominantly online. Collaborative activities, exercises, discussions, and
presentations are the essence of this course and the learning process. Directions for online class
discussions, individual & group assignments, and activities will be posted on the iCollege course page
and posted on the Announcements dashboard.
As adult learners, you are expected to make appropriate decisions about attendance and participating in
the course. Please note that not attending class sessions or not participating in weekly course
activities/assignments for any reason means that you did not attend/participate because you are sick, your
cat died, your car won’t start, or you just didn’t feel like participating. All count the same–you did not
participate. It doesn’t matter that you tell me before or after. Pre-approved absences officially
sanctioned by the GSU administration (e.g., religious observances, military obligations, pre-authorized
student athlete releases) will be considered as excuses for missing a class period. This policy is also
applicable for course participation. Not participating in weekly course activities/assignments due to other
reasons such as job requirements and the like are not acceptable excuses. Hence, there is no need to notify
the instructor in advance or ask for special consideration after the fact.
SW7300 Syllabus

Excessive unexcused incidents of non-attendance and non-participation may also result in an
administrative withdrawal from the course by the instructor with a grade of WF. You can also lose points
if you clearly demonstrate that you are not engaged in the course. (Refer to the GSU General Catalog for
more on the subject).

INCOMPLETES: Except for the gravest of emergencies, a grade of “Incomplete” will not be allowed
for the course. Any missing grades, whether for exercises or assignments, will be assumed to be
ZEROS and will be averaged as such.
****ACADEMIC PENALTIES TO BE IMPOSED FOR PLAGIARISM IN THIS CLASS:
If plagiarism is suspected and confirmed by instructor, the student shall receive a zero score in
the section of assignment were plagiarism is confirmed. As noted below under Academic
Conduct and Integrity, other possible sanctions include: assignment of a failing grade for a
particular course requirement, or for the course itself, or for other tests or program assignments.
In addition, a Notice of Academic Dishonesty will be submitted to the Andrew Young School of
Policy Studies.
I. Academic Conduct and Integrity:
Student academic misconduct refers to behavior that may include plagiarism, cheating, fabrication,
falsification of records and official documents, intentional misuse of equipment or materials (including
library materials), and aiding and abetting the perpetration of such acts. The preparation of individual
assignments must represent each student’s own effort.
SW7300 Syllabus
│Page 7
Student’s conduct in this course should be consistent with that of a professional person. It is imperative
that students show courtesy, honesty, and respect toward faculty, guest lecturers, and fellow students.
Similarly, students should expect that their instructor will treat them in a respectful and fair manner.
Creating distractions with conversations with classmates during class will be addressed in a manner
appropriate to foster the learning and engagement of fellow classmates. With regard to cell phones and
pagers, it is imperative that students turn them off or set them on vibrate so as not to distract class sessions.
If it is necessary for students to accept a phone call or text, please exit the classroom as quietly as possible.
No phone conversations or text should occur in class.
Note the following concerning Plagiarism or Cheating: Plagiarism is presenting another person’s work
as your own. Plagiarism includes any paraphrasing or summarizing of the works of another person without
acknowledgment, including the submitting of another student’s work as your own. Plagiarism frequently
involves a failure to acknowledge in the text, notes, or footnotes the quotation of paragraphs, sentences, or
even a few phrases written or spoken by someone else. The purchase of research or completed papers or
projects prepared by someone else is plagiarism, as in the acknowledged use of research sources gathered
by someone else when that use is specifically forbidden by the instructor. Failure to indicate the extent and
nature of one’s reliance on other sources is also a form of plagiarism. Furthermore, submission of the same
work without substantial modification for two separate assignments is not acceptable. The student is
responsible for understanding the legitimate use of sources, the appropriate ways of acknowledging
academic, scholarly or creative indebtedness, and the consequences of violating this responsibility. For
more information, please refer to the “Academic Honesty” section in the GSU catalog (hardcopy or on
GSU website).
Procedures for Resolving Matters of Academic Dishonesty: The following procedure is the only
approved means for resolving matters of academic dishonesty, except for matters arising in the College of
Law which has its own Honor Code for handling such matters. It is available to all members of the
academic community who wish to pursue an action against a student for academic dishonesty.
Penalties to be Imposed: Penalties to be imposed in incidents of academic dishonesty are classified
as “academic” or “disciplinary.” Academic penalties include such sanctions as assig …
