Policy Updates Challenge

A student has a class that ends on Friday.  On Wednesday, they contact you and ask to schedule a DBA for Friday morning.  What should you do?

• Let the student know that you don't have time, and they will get a zero.

• Explain DBAs are not available during the final three days of the course, refer them to the grading policy and the DBA policy posted in your classroom .

• This isn't a problem, students are allowed to submit anything in a non-AP course right up until the end date.

• Becasue you don't have the avalibility to squeeze in last minute DBAs, provide an alternate assignment.

Uh, oh! Amir messaged you to explain that his school's power went out while he was taking a quiz and now he can't finish. What do you do?

• Explain to Amir that our policy doesn't allow redos on tests or quizzes, so he will have to keep the score he earned.

• Ask Amir to have his mentor confirm the technical issue and reset if they do.

• Sympathize with Amir and let him know that you will reset the quiz ASAP.

• Since the policy doesn't allow redos on tests and quizzes, adjust Amir's score to reflect what he completed.

What is the grading window for a Composition course?

• 48 hours, NOT including weekends

The new policy allows redos within 2 weeks of grading, but you have a student that you know was in the hospital that wants to redo work that was graded a month ago. What can you do?

• If the student doesn't have an IEP/504 plan that addresses this, the policy must be enforced.

• This sounds like extenuating circumstances, contact your supervisor to see if some flexibility can be provided.

• Make a plan to help the student complete the assignments that they have left instead of worrying about old work.

• The mentor and parent both let you know the student was in the hospital, so go ahead and let them resubmit.

Exam passwords must be shared in the Mentor Welcome Letter.

• True

• False

A student is desperately trying to get the exam password on the last evening of the course. What do you do?

• Explain that only thier mentor can provide the password and they need to contact them.

• Check for a password flag in the SLP. If one isn't there, share the password and let the mentor know.

• Tell the student to call Customer Care to see if they can help.

• Share the password and let the mentor know you can delete the score if this is a problem.

A mentor reaches out to request an early end date for a senior. School ends on May 29 and graduation is June 1st. They want the student to work through the 29th and have a grade first thing on the 30th. Is this possible?

• No. The grading window plus 1 day is required between the last submission and finalizing.

• No, but the 31st is possible for a finalized grade. Seniors are a priority!

• Yes, if the student is only taking the final exam on the last day.

• It depends on how many assignments the student submits on the last day.

When you log into your class, you have two assignments that your student, Charlotte, submitted last night. Both were copied and pasted from Course Hero.  This is the first time that this has occurred.  Considering the Academic Integrity Matrix, what should your next steps be?

• Allow Charlotte to resubmit for 50% and contact her mentor.

• Do not allow Charlotte to resubmit, discuss academic integrity, and reach out to her mentor.

• Require Charlotte and her mentor to have a Zoom meeting before you grade any more of her work.

• Allow Charlotte to resubmit the assignments for full credit and discuss acceptable academic behavior.

Aditya submits an assignment that has an 86% AI probability. This is the first academic integrity concern for this student. How do you proceed?

• Follow the Academic Integrity Matrix based on the Turnitin AI tool.

• Have a conversation with the student about your concerns and require them to redo the work.

• Discuss the situation with the student. If they admit to using AI or other online sources, follow the Academic Integrity Matrix.

• Reach out to the mentor and guardian to explain that the student is using AI and that you cannot grade the work.
