Teaching Evaluation
Class Attendance: Students must attend all classes, and attendance list will be taken at the beginning of each class. It is important for each student to be on time. Missing two class sessions during the entire semester will result an automatic reduction of one letter grade. Homework: Homework will be assigned every Tuesday and it will be due on the following Tuesday. Homework assignments will be collected at the beginning of class session. Note: No late homework will be accepted Test: There will be two tests for the course. Note: No Makeup test will be given. Grading Policy: Test = 2x15%(each)=30% Homework = 10% Project = 30% Final = 30% Grading Scale: A>85, 70<B<84.9, 55<C<69.9, 40<D<54.9, F<39. CLASS PARTICIPATION AND
ATTENDANCE
At any class period, you may be asked to summarize and
critique readings from the book or elsewhere in an “elevator speech” for the
class. On such occasions, you are invited to refer to notes you've made in
response to the readings. You may also be quizzed on the high points of the
material. CAU/CIS
Policies and Expectations: COURSE POLICIES: 1. Student Conduct In Class Policy Any
acts of classroom disruption that go beyond the normal rights of students to
question and discuss with instructors the educational process relative to
subject content will not be tolerated, in accordance with the Academic Code
of Conduct described in the Student Handbook. 2. Electronic Devices In Class Policy Cellular
phones, pagers, CD players, radios, and similar devices are prohibited in the classroom
and laboratory facilities. Calculators and computers are prohibited during
examinations and quizzes, unless
specified. 3. Disabilities Policy
In
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), all qualified
students enrolled in this course are entitled to “reasonable accommodations.”
Please present proper documentation and notify the instructor within the first two weeks of class of any
accommodations needed for the course. 4. Academic
honesty Academic
honesty is based on the principle that one’s work is one’s own. Clark Atlanta University encourages all
members of the University to accept responsibility for taking academic
honesty seriously by being informed, by contributing to a climate in which
honesty is valued, and by considering responsible ways to discourage
dishonesty in the work of others.
Students, faculty, administrators and staff should not condone or
tolerate cheating, plagiarism, or falsification, since such activity
negatively affects members of the academic community. Plagiarism is the presentation of all or a
portion of someone else’s work, as one’s own, without properly
citing/documenting the work. Plagiarism is unacceptable and will result in a failing grade in the course. 5. Clark
Atlanta University Campus Cultural Creed
Clark
Atlanta University is committed to academic excellence, building character,
and service to others. The University
will achieve its mission by cultivating an environment of honesty, kindness,
mutual respect, self-discipline, school loyalty, trust, academic integrity
and communal pride. As a member of
this scholarly community, I make the following pledge: ·
I will work
to promote academic honesty and integrity; ·
I will work
to cultivate a learning environment which opposes violence, vulgarity,
lewdness and selfishness; ·
I will embrace the concept of mutual respect by
treating others the way I want them to treat me; ·
I will support a campus culture of diversity by
respecting the rights of those whose views and experiences differ from my
own; ·
I will honor and care for
the sanctity of my body as the temple of God; ·
I will commit myself to
service so that I can make a difference in the world and a difference for
more than just myself; ·
I will celebrate and contribute to the “spirit of greatness” left by
those who preceded me, and I will work to leave this a better place for those
who follow me; As a member of this community, I am committed to
conducting myself in ways that contribute to a civil campus environment,
which encourages positive behavior in others.
I accept the responsibility to uphold these noble ideals as a proud
member of the Clark Atlanta University Family. 6.
Attendance To confirm enrollment, a student must attend each scheduled class
within the first two weeks following the official start of the semester. After this period, a student will not be
permitted to enter any class, and the professor will report the student’s
nonattendance to the Registrar. The
student will be withdrawn from the class with a grade of “WU” assigned. Students are expected to attend all classes and are
responsible for all notes, class assignments and activities whether in class
or not. If a student has an excused absence,
he or she must provide documentation and must makeup missed work within one week of absence. Unexcused absences will result in a grade
of zero for missed
assignments. There are a maximum of 3 unexcused absences for this course. A student who has
stopped attending class is one who has not attended class for three
consecutive weeks and has not contacted his/her professor. This student does not qualify for an “I”
grade and will be administratively withdrawn.
The student will receive a course grade as stipulated on the
syllabus. The instructor is expected
to record the last date of attendance. 7. Incomplete
Policy An incomplete grade (“I”) is given when a student has been enrolled in a course for an entire semester but has not completed all the requirements. The “I” is given only when the student has an acceptable excuse for not taking the final examination or for failing to complete other requirements, but does the instructor determine otherwise doing passing work as. An “I” should be removed by the end of the semester following the one in which the “I” grade was earned, but no later than one year from the end of the semester in which the “I” grade was earned. Removal of an “I” does not assure a passing grade in the course. (Undergraduate Academic Regulations and Procedures Handbook for Students) |
