All classrooms contain various types of multimedia equipment controlled from a podium at the front of the room. Most podiums consist of a keyboard tray, a mouse, flat screen and a touch screen panel that controls all of the room’s equipment. All podiums require a password or code which is “1967” with the exception of The Annex building in which the code is “2011”. Any questions or support can be accessed by pressing the help icon located on the touch screen panel; a technician can be dispatched immediately by pressing “2” on the in-class phone or by calling x8888.
If you notice recurring technical issues with classroom equipment (e.g. projector, etc.) please notify the FSCS Associate Director, Operations.
Lessons, assignments, and concepts can be greatly enhanced by inviting industry or guest speakers to visit classes as a way of supporting teaching and learning. Before inviting a guest speaker, faculty must seek approval from their Associate Dean one month prior to the anticipated speaking engagement. Guest speakers are compensated with either a small gift or a gift card, depending on their time commitment. The guest speaker compensation form is available on the faculty website: http://communityservices.humber.ca/facultyguide
Field trips are fantastic ways to support students by learning through direct experience. Before proceeding with arrangements to take students off campus, a written request must be submitted to your Associate Dean a minimum of 10 days prior to the proposed Field Trip. Students are protected under Humber’s insurance coverage only if the following conditions have been met: there has been written approval, a Humber faculty/staff is in attendance, and the Field Trip is related directly to the curriculum.
In the event that class needs to be cancelled due to illness or other extenuating circumstances, Faculty should contact their Associate Dean, Program Coordinator, Program Support Officer and Front Desk Support Staff fscssupport@humber.ca as soon as possible. Please send a note to your students via BlackBoard if possible. The front desk support staff will post a note on your classroom door letting students know the class has been cancelled and to check their email for further details. Faculty should arrange to make up the content of the class at a later date within the semester.
Classes are not to be cancelled for other reasons. If a schedule conflict arises please contact your Associate Dean.
The Ontario Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act requires that the College protect personal information by making reasonable security arrangements against such risks as unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, or destruction.
Student tests and assignments fall under the definition of personal information and reasonable security arrangements must be taken when receiving and returning tests and assignments. If assignments cannot be handed in during class time, they can be dropped off in the FSCS Assignment Drop Box located on the first floor of the C Cottage. Student assignments dropped off in the Assignment Drop Box will be date stamped and delivered to the faculty member’s mailbox the following business day. Assignments can be submitted via your BlackBoard course website, which allows for accurate recording of the exact time of submission, and is more environmentally sustainable.
Turnitin is the software used to detect plagiarism in student assignments. Please contact your Program Support Officers for access to your Turnitin account information.
