Q

how is text provided?

A

The textbook will be provided to you digitally, but I highly recommend that you put $20 on your I-card at the beginning of the semester and plan to print the text out as we go (that is a lot less than you would have spent had I assigned a traditional textbook for the course!). You will get more out of the class if you do, I assure you.

Q

PONDER: Things to ponder?

A

There will be five unit exams during the semester and a comprehensive final exam. At the end of the course, there will be a final paper project, where you can demonstrate your improved reading, writing, and thinking skills. I reserve the right to FAIL in the course anyone who does not pass the final exam, no matter how many points you earned during the semester. My colleagues expect me to hold you accountable for the course material and competencies, and outside agencies (such as your future employer) see a passing grade as a certification of comprehension and competency.

Q

How are grades done?

A

• Grades in this class will be based on how close your point total is to the top-most point earner in the class, following a traditional breakdown of roughly 5% intervals. You should assume that if you do not earn at least 60% of what the top-most point earner earns, that I will have to assign you a failing grade. If you just give me your best work throughout the whole semester, you should not have to worry.

COURSE POLICIES

A

.

38
Q

What is the course policy for tardiness?

A

You may NOT come to class late. Your first late entry will be overlooked. After that, each late entrance will result in the loss of 25 pts to your overall point total. There is no cap to this penalty. If the opening prayer has been offered, or the first i-clicker question has been completed, you are late

39
Q

what is the coursepolicy for electronic devices?

A

You may not use any electronic devices during class. This includes laptop computers, cell-phones, ipods, and anything else that could be classified as an ‘electronic device’. Turn your cell phone off before class begins. If you accidentally forget and your phone rings – do not answer it! Each instance of using an electronic device during class will result in the loss of 25 pts to your overall point total. The one exception to this rule is the i-clicker.

40
Q

How does course policy work with iclicker?

A

must have iclicker and if doesn’t work to bad so sad

41
Q

can assignments be handwritten?

A

Assignments: All assignments to be turned in for credit must be machine printed (normally, this means typed on a computer and then printed on paper), not hand-written, unless it is done as an in-class assignment or the assignment instructions specifically allow it. There will be a minimum of a 15% deduction on any assignment that is handwritten when it should not be. A further 10% deduction will be assessed if multiple pages are not stapled together.

42
Q

can their outside collaboration?

A

No Outside Collaboration: Unless an assignment is specifically identified as a group assignment, you must complete the assignment on your own without any outside consultation. This stipulation includes getting any kind of assistance from a spouse. To work with someone besides the instructor on an assignment is considered cheating (see Academic Misconduct). (Note: This does not preclude the use of a tutor.)

43
Q

what if you have a late assignment?

A

Late Assignments: Assignments are due to me at the beginning of class on the day they are due, unless otherwise noted. You may always turn in an assignment before a deadline. Assignments turned in to me late on the same day they are due will be docked 5% (This means that if you are late to class, not only will you lose points from your overall total, but you will also lose 5% of the assignment’s grade). Assignments turned into me the day after they were due, will be docked 10%. Each day after that, they will be docked another 10%. This penalty includes weekend days. You may slide assignments under my office door, but I do not consider them turned in until I have them in my hand. There will generally be no exceptions to this policy.

44
Q

what is policy of sending electronic submissions?

A

Electronic Submissions: I do NOT generally accept assignments by email. Please do not send me an electronic copy as proof that you had finished an assignment on time. Think of printing and handing in a hardcopy of your assignment as part of the assignment instructions. If I want a digital copy of an assignment, I will provide you with a specific email address to send it to.

45
Q

are their make ups for quizzes?

A

Exams and Quizzes: There will be no make-ups of exams or quizzes offered, unless you receive pre-authorization owing to exceptional circumstances. If you think your situation would qualify as an “exceptional circumstance” (you are extremely ill, or otherwise incapacitated), you still need to contact me before the scheduled exam to get pre-approved for a make-up. This pre-approval requirement may only be waived if you are severely incapacitated (in a coma at the hospital, for example).

46
Q

Allowed to have food during class?

A

NO

47
Q

how do visitors work?

A

Visitors: It is university policy that only those actually enrolled in the course should be in attendance in class. Please do not bring your girlfriend, boyfriend, brother, sister, roommate, or spouse to class to sit with you. If you have a special out of town visitor you would like to bring with you one day, please ask me ahead of time, and that should be acceptable.

48
Q

how is academic misconduct handled?

A

Academic Misconduct: Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated, and will be reported to the Office of the Dean of Students. The first level of punishment for any form of academic misconduct is automatic failure in the course, no matter the reason. I will also recommend that the violator be expelled from the university. See the official document for more information on what constitutes academic misconduct.

49
Q

when is the last day?

A

The Last Day: The official last day of the semester is the Saturday of Final Exam week. Students should not make travel plans before the semester ends and should not request to take a final exam early.

50
Q

course policy on syllabus?

A

The Syllabus: The schedule, assignments, and/or course policies are always subject to revision. Such revisions will be announced in class and apply to all, whether present or absent.
