Announcements in Canvas

The Announcements section of Canvas will be used to post general messages, reminders, and other pertinent course information that is relevant to all students. In addition to receiving notifications of new announcements upon logging on to Canvas, all students are required to enable real-time (i.e. ASAP) notifications for course Announcements to their respective Baylor University email address. Specific instructions for modifying Canvas notification preferences can be found at https://guides.instructure.com/m/4212/l/710344-how-do-i-manage-my-canvas-notification-settings-as-a-student.

 


Respondus LockDown Browser

LockDown Browser is a custom web browser that locks down the testing environment within online courses in Blackboard or Canvas. You will be unable to print, copy, or access other websites and applications. When an assessment is started, you are locked into the browser until you submit the assessment for grading. LockDown Browser is available for both Windows and Mac.

LockDown Browser can be downloaded by students at the Respondus Website.

Respondus Monitor

This course may require the use of Respondus LockDown Browser and a webcam for online exams. A description of the services and the terms of use will be presented to students within LockDown Browser upon launch of the software. Students agree that they may be recorded by the software during the exam session, and that the course instructors or other appropriate individuals at Baylor University may have access to and may review such recording. Students further understand that if the results of a review support an allegation of academic dishonesty, the course work in question as well as any supporting materials may be submitted to the Honor Council for investigation and further action. If an inappropriate event unrelated to the test is accidentally recorded, students may request that the video be deleted by contacting the ITS Help Desk.

 


TurnItIn

Baylor University subscribes to TurnItIn, a web-based plagiarism detection/prevention service. Papers submitted to TurnItIn are compared to resources in the database. The results of the comparison (including hyperlinks to web pages or other papers with the same text) are then sent to the instructor. Students agree that by taking a course, all required papers, exams, class projects or other assignments submitted for credit may be submitted to turnitin.com or similar third parties to review and evaluate for originality and intellectual integrity. A description of the services, terms and conditions of use, and privacy policy of turnitin.com is available on its web site: https://www.turnitin.com.

Understand that all work submitted to turnitin.com will be added to its database of papers. Further understand that if the results of such a review support an allegation of academic dishonesty, the course work in question as well as any supporting materials may be submitted to the Honor Council for investigation and further action.
