Class meeting days, times, and location
K200 is asynchronous and entirely online. There are no set class times. However students are encouraged to spend at least 10-12 hours per week finishing the class work. Do not fall behind. When students complete all projects and submit them on time, they do well in this class. Yes, completing work early is also accepted and even encouraged.

Required Computer & Digital Literacy Skills
This is a class about acquiring such skills. What you do not know how to do or understand, you will learn.
Overview and Schedule of Assignments
Course Work
Because this is a summer class, it is recommended you budget at least 12+ hours per week to finish all K200 work.
Although Canvas uses the term “Assignments”, in K200 you will complete projects.
To get the highest grade possible, you need to complete all work. Projects in K200 build upon each other. If you skip one, the rest will not make sense. Online class management is through the IU Canvas LMS. The class website All Project Due Dates is good for reference for dates and project files. Detailed instructions and video lessons will be presented in the Canvas modules. Modules are divided by weeks. Every week you will have projects to complete. This will usually involve reading text and/or watching videos and performing the steps demonstrated.
Your progress in this class will be evaluated by how well you complete the class projects. Projects are listed in the Canvas Gradebook and at the bottom of the Canvas syllabus.
Projects are usually due on Sunday night at 11:59 PM unless otherwise stated in instructions.
Pprojects have categories:
- Weekly Projects - Projects from the textbook/class materials you must complete each week. These projects teach basic program skills.
- Major Projects - Larger projects focusing on one piece of software. These projects require students to apply skills learned during Weekly Projects.
All graded projects will be found in Modules. They will be given in the order to best learn the material.
Submitting Projects
“Submit your project like an adult.” - JKS
“Submit your project like an adult” means submit your project using the method your instructor gives you.
All projects will be submitted and graded in Canvas in Assignments. Projects that have been created using a specific piece of software must be submitted as a complete file. DO NOT LINK TO ANYTHING IN YOUR ONEDRIVE or any storage drive online. No links to an online folder or files in the wrong format will be accepted. Submitting an online folder link or the file in the wrong format will result in 0 with no option for regrading. Consider submitting projects properly as part of your grade.
If you are unfamiliar with Canvas and Assignments check out the below links that will take you to the Canvas Student Guide. You can of course ask your instructor for help when submitting.
For All Answers About Canvas Assignments Visit: Assignments in the Canvas Student Guide
Projects with Multiple Files
There will be times when you will submit more than one file for a project. If you submit the files on different days, you will notice that Canvas only shows you the most current file you submitted. HOWEVER, KNOW THIS: The instructors and graders can see everything you submit. So that last file is still ready to be graded. If you are not sure if you submitted a file, submit it again. We will always grade the last file submitted. It is better to have several copies of one file instead of none.
Graduate Section
Additional work will be found in Canvas. You may also be directed to All Project Due Dates in Canvas for further instructions.

Course Schedule
Refer to All Project Due Dates for course work schedule. Also look under Course Summary on the Canvas Syllabus page for most up to date days and times.

Grading
To earn an outstanding grade in K200, do the following:
- Schedule Time to Complete K200 Work Every Week. Create a calendar for yourself showing when and where each week you will complete your K200 projects. Think of this like going to class.
- Do the Work. Complete all projects and turn them in on time.
Project points will be posted in Canvas within two days to one week of the due date. Since Canvas keeps track of all of your points you should always be able to estimate your current grade in the course. If you need assistance, please contact me. All your projects will count towards your final score. K200 does not grade on a curve.
Remember: Working hard doesn't mean you will get a good grade, it just means you worked hard. Your K200 instructors and grader have gone through similar experiences in their college careers and know the frustration. Just keep going.
Project Difficulties:
If you are having difficulty with a project, please let us know in the Canvas Comments. You must give us details in order for us to potentially grant you grace on your project. Example:
"Student Writes: Hello. I was having trouble with Step __ on Page __ and therefore I couldn't _____. I did this ________ instead/or just continued."
Always document your difficulties in this way. Only documentation in your comments potentially will help your grade.
REMEMBER Grading Rules:
- Canvas is NOT a good calculator of your final grade. You will be given a project during Excel that will help you calculate your final grade for yourself. Do NOT trust the Canvas score.
- If you have a question about your grade, contact your instructor only via their preferred method of communication. DO NOT write to the Grader! (See Grader).
- Project Comments. Read comments given by grader or instructor before contacting your instructor. Comments will help you understand your points given.
- If you do have a question about your grade, contact Ms. Lion.
- If you have not done enough work on a project to make it worth the instructor or grader's time, you will receive a minimum number of points.
- You may not submit any project for regrading.

Extensions
K200 has two built-in extensions for almost all of the projects. Built-in extensions are:
- Accept Until date, which is two days/48 hours after the due date. HOWEVER! There are a few exceptions and those will be clearly marked. Read more about Accept Until date below.
- Very Late Work - Past Due Project Submit. You can submit work up to 3 days after the Due Date. Read more about it below.
No other extensions are given. Remember:
- In the work world, if you miss a deadline for any reason, you will have consequences. Perhaps you do not get to work on a desired project or do not receive bonuses at the end of the year. Good News: You still have a job. In K200 the good news is you have many opportunties to make more points to receive a good grade.
- It is unfair to the students who turn in their work on time if those who turn their work in late get the same score.
- If you ask for an extension, you will be reminded of the built-in ones.
<top>
Late Work
Note: Deadline time is in Eastern Daylight Time, the current time zone for Bloomington, Indiana. To be sure you do not miss a deadline, consult the Time Zone Map.
Late Work - Accept Until Date. If students miss the Due Date, they will have two calendar days/48 hours to submit work up to the Accept Until date. If projected is submitted after Due Date but before Accept Until Date, project will lose 20% of your total points. Work not submitted within this time frame will not be graded.
Example of Accept Until Date: If project was due on July 3, 11:59 PM but student could not make the date, turn project in on or before the Accept Until date of July 5, 11:59 PM. DO NOT expect to receive full credit on late work.
Projects without Accept Until dates will be labeled.
<top>
Very Late Work
DO NOT EMAIL MS. LION YOUR PROJECT FILES.
Project files must be put in the Past Due Project Submit section in Canvas Assignments. A link to Past Due Project Submit can be found on the Canvas Syllabus page. It is for projects that missed both Due Date and the Accept Until Date.
Rules for Past Due Project Submit:
- Files must be submitted with explanation as to what they are and why they are late in Comments or as a separate Word file.
- Instructor and grader are under no obligation to grade any work in this section.
- Only partial points for projects will be given - 30% or more will be deducted from score.
LAST DUE DATE FOR VERY LATE - Past Due Project Submit, Summer 2024 is Wednesday, July 24, 11:59 PM.
<top>
Extra Credit
Ms. Lion LOVES to give extra credit as it provides wonderful learning opportunities for you. Semester long extra credit can be found in Canvas in Announcements - look for Extra Credit in the subject line. Submit all extra credit in Canvas Assignments Extra Credit - Total Course section. A link to Extra Credit - Total Course can be found on the Canvas syllabus page. Extra credit will be added in at the end of the semester after your coursework score has been calculated.
However. You cannot rely on extra credit to pass K200. Read the extra credit policies below.
Students are encouraged to do extra credit to help boost grading points. However, know this:
- If you are receiving an F, no amount of extra credit will pull your grade up.
- If you are earning a D because you have not turned in work, you will only be able to earn points to a B-.
- All extra credit will be graded after the due date.
LAST DUE DATE FOR VERY LATE - Past Due Project Submit, Summer 2024 is Thursday, July 25, 11:59 PM.
<top>
Grades of Incomplete or Pass/Fail
Grades of Incomplete or Pass/Fail must be discussed with the instructor two weeks before the semester ends. Note and follow the rules below:
- K200 First Step: Talk with your advisor and make sure they approve your request for either an incomplete or pass/fail.
- Incomplete: BEFORE you ask for an Incomplete, you must read the IU Incompletes policy FIRST. If you do not meet the passing requirement in the policy, you cannot receive an Incomplete.
- Pass/Fail: If K200 is a required class for you to graduate, you may not be able to take it pass/fail.
Course Evaluation
It is the policy of the IU School of Public Health-Bloomington to evaluate all courses taught through the school. Final student course evaluations will be online and anonymous. Please fill them out to help improve K200.

Course & IU Policies
COVID - MASK UP - IF YOU WISH
Dear students: Since we will not be meeting in person, mask wearing is not an issue. However, if you are ever on campus and wish to wear a mask, do so! I still do at times. Also keep your attention ready for new COVID and mask policies as they may arise.
<top>
Academic Misconduct
Academic honesty is fundamental to the activities and principles of this university. All members of the academic community must be confident that each person’s work has been responsibly and honorably acquired, developed and presented. Any effort to gain an advantage not given to all students is dishonest whether or not the effort is successful. All submitted written work is to be done by the student on their own. The academic community regards academic dishonesty as an extremely serious matter, with serious consequences that range from reduction in grade, probation to expulsion. Using someone else’s work as if it is your own— plagiarism— is a serious university offense and will be dealt with following university guidelines. You must cite borrowed ideas or text, including lecture material, regardless of whether it is a direct quote or a paraphrasing. When in doubt— cite. (See section III, Student Misconduct, of the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct, available on the “Campus Course Policies” link, available on the left tab of your courses in Canvas). Honesty requires that any ideas or materials taken from another source for either written or oral use must be fully acknowledged. Offering the work of someone else as one’s own is plagiarism. The language or ideas thus taken from another may range from isolated formulas, sentences, or paragraphs to entire articles copied from books, periodicals, speeches, or the writings of other students. The offering of materials assembled or collected by others in the form of projects or collections without acknowledgment also is considered plagiarism. Any student who fails to give credit for ideas or materials taken from another source is guilty of plagiarism (Faculty Council, May 2, 1961; University Faculty Council, March 11, 1975; Board of Trustees, July 11, 1975) Source comes from IU's Policies site.
According to the Indiana University Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct (2010), a student must give credit to the originality of others and acknowledge indebtedness whenever:
- Directly quoting another person's actual words, whether oral or written;
- Using another person's ideas, opinions, or theories;
- Paraphrasing the words, ideas, opinions, or theories of others, whether oral or written;
- Borrowing facts, statistics, or illustrative material; or
Offering materials assembled or collected by others in the form of projects or collections without acknowledgement.

Introduction to K200 Unforgivables
In the Harry Potter books there are the three Unforgivable Curses. These curses correspond to Ms. Lion's Unforgivable Sins in K200. NEVER do any of the below.
Plagiarism and Academic Integrity
See Academic Misconduct in syllabus for further details. All students are to follow the fundamental principles of academic integrity and personal conduct outlined in the Student Responsibilities. The Policy on Academic Misconduct appears in the Schedule of Classes. The basic principle is that students take credit only for the ideas, WORK/PROJECTS, and efforts that are their own.
From the Indiana University Code of Student Ethics on Academic Integrity
- All class members are to follow the fundamental principles of academic integrity outlined in the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct. The Policy on Academic Misconduct is available online.
- The basic principle is that students take credit only for the ideas and efforts that are their own. This includes K200 PROJECTS including EXTRA CREDIT. This equals academic dishonesty.
- Any act of academic dishonesty will place students in jeopardy of the most severe form of sanction by Indiana University – expulsion from the university.
- Included among dishonest behaviors in an academic setting are cheating (using or attempting to use unauthorized assistance, materials, information or study aids in an academic exercise), fabricating (falsifying or inventing information in an academic exercise), plagiarism (adopting or reproducing of ideas, words, or statements of another person without appropriate acknowledgment), interference (stealing, changing, destroying, or impeding another student’s work), and facilitating (intentionally or knowingly helping or attempting to help another student commit an act of academic misconduct.
Avoid plagiarism and NEVER SHARE FILES!
Any suspected incident of academic integrity will result in meeting with instructors. If found guilty, student(s) will be subjected to penalties to be determined by the instructor. No exceptions.
This is Ms. Lion's equivalent of the Avada Kedavra curse.
<top>
Professional Conduct and Civility
See Student Code of Conduct for official IU policies
Each student is expected to show respect through behavior that promotes an environment in which all students can learn without interruption or distraction. These behaviors foster an appropriate atmosphere inside and outside the classroom:
- Students are expected to be respectful and supportive of all class activities and participation requirements.
- Students must address faculty members, and ALL other students, appropriately and with the utmost respect, whether in person, in writing, or in electronic communications.
- Students must show tolerance and respect for diverse nationalities, religions, races, sexual orientations, and physical abilities.
Incivility and/or any form of discourtesy WILL NOT BE TOLERATED under any circumstances in K200. When students and instructors communicate with each other, courtesy and civility will be enforced. This applies to all media used.
Therefore: Keep all K200 conversations, emails, social network postings, blogging, websites, and class projects G rated and extremely polite. Any harassment of classmates, instructor, or any population in general in any form - including but not limited to racism, sexism, classism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, sexual misconduct, pornographic, or bullying behavior or any kind - will result in your grade being lowered by at least one letter at the end of the class, probably more! Penalties will work the same as violating Academic Integrity. Do not earn an F. If any student is unsure of any comment/post/email/project being impolite, do not post, send, or say it.
In fact, IU is concerned about professional conduct and civility. Bias-based incident reports can be made by students, faculty, and staff. Any act of discrimination or harassment based on race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or disability can be reported through any of the options: 1) email biasincident@indiana.edu or incident@indiana.edu; 2) call the Dean of Students Office at (812) 855-8188 or 3) use the IU mobile app (m.iu.edu). Reports can be made anonymously.
Note: Pornographic images/language or any form of Zoombombing will result in an immediate F in the class.
This is Ms. Lion's equivalent of the Cruciatus Curse in K200.
<top>
Grader
Do NOT contact Grader. Contacting Grader will result in penalties. Any questions about your grade must be sent to your instructor only. Leaving Comments for the Grader questioning a grade in Assignments will not help you. Email all questions to your instructor who will be happy to help.
This is Ms. Lion's equivalent of the Imperius Curse in K200.
<top>
Accessibility Services
Every attempt will be made to accommodate qualified students with disabilities (e.g. mental health, learning, chronic health, physical, hearing, vision neurological, etc.) You must have established your eligibility for support services through the appropriate office that services students with disabilities. Note that services are confidential, may take time to put into place and are not retroactive; Captions and alternate media for print materials may take three or more weeks to be produced. Please contact your campus office as soon as possible if accommodations are needed. Find your campus office serving students with disabilities.

Title IX and Sexual Misconduct
As your instructor, one of my responsibilities is to help create a safe learning environment on our campus. Title IX and our own Sexual Misconduct policy prohibit sexual misconduct. If you have experienced sexual misconduct, or know someone who has, the University can help. I encourage you to visit Stop Sexual Violence website to learn more. If you are seeking help and would like to speak to someone confidentially, you can make an appointment with a Mental Health Counselor on campus.
It is also important that you know that Title IX and University policy require me to share any information brought to my attention about potential sexual misconduct, with the campus Deputy Title IX Coordinator or IU’s Title IX Coordinator. In that event, those individuals will work to ensure that appropriate measures are taken and resources are made available. Protecting student privacy is of utmost concern, and information will only be shared with those that need to know to ensure the University can respond and assist. I encourage you to visit stopsexualviolence.iu.edu
to learn more.
