Attending class regularly is the best way to succeed in this class. Research has shown that the single most important factor in student success is attendance. Simply put, going to class greatly increases your ability to succeed. In order to support you, I have made attendance a factor in your final grade. This should be the easiest outcome for you to achieve in this class. The five points below cover additional factors that are important to know:

1. You are responsible for everything that is handed out, discussed, or assigned in class.  Should an absence occur, make arrangements to obtain class notes, handouts, and assignments from another student or from the professor.  Your attendance is important to your learning and that of your classmates.  Plan to be in class every day and be prepared to add to the discussion.  Points are assigned for attendance and participation based on the professor’s assessment of your involvement in the class and the assessment of your peers through group projects.
2. Due dates for all assignments must be met.  Any late assignments will lose 50% of the total possible points for that assignment.  A late assignment is one that is handed in after the class period ends on the specified due date.  Where applicable, you are certainly encouraged to turn in assignments early; this is an important habit to establish as you continue to prepare for your career.
3. The instructor reserves the right to adjust the daily schedule and the syllabus. Announcements will be made via Canvas if this were to happen.
4. There will be no make-up for final presentations, in-class activities or discussions unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor.

 

 

Additional homework assignments may be given at the instructor’s discretion. Homework may include end-of-chapter questions, case studies, article reviews, or online interactive simulations. 

Points will be deducted from assignments for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors.  No one will consider you credible or professional in ANY career if you cannot express yourself both verbally and in writing.

 

Your instructor and classmates will conduct regular assessments in this class that you can use to determine how successful you are at achieving the course learning outcomes outlined in the syllabus. If you find you are not mastering the material and skills, you are encouraged to reflect on how you study and prepare for each class. Your instructor welcomes a dialogue on what you discover and may be able to assist you in finding resources on campus that will improve your performance.

You will be evaluated on a total point accumulation basis as follows: 

                     Discussions = 20%

                     Assignments (Group and Individual) = 35%

                     Midterm Presentation = 20%

                     Final Presentation = 25%

• Accommodations for students with disabilities. Students with medical, psychological, learning or other disabilities desiring accommodations or services under ADA, should contact the Disability Resource Center (DRC).  The DRC determines eligibility for and authorizes the provision of these accommodations and services for the college.   Please contact the DRC at the Student Center, Suite 244, Redwood Campus, 4600 So.

• Academic honesty and the SLCC Student Code of Conduct.  Students are both bound and protected by the SLCC Student Code of Conduct.  If you are unaware of this Code and the requirements it makes of you as well as the protection it gives you, contact Student Services for a copy (of either the complete code or the abbreviated version).  Personal integrity and responsibility are requirements of this class, as are all other guidelines of the Student Code.
• Plagiarism.  Plagiarism is theft.  Any time you present another person’s work as your own—even if that other person is a friend and/or spouse—you have plagiarized.  The penalty for a first offense of academic dishonesty is no credit for the assignment, which cannot be redone.  A second offense means that you fail the course and will be reported to the Division Chair and Student Advising.
