ATTENDANCE AND LATENESS POLICY
Because we only meet for 90 minutes once per week, attendance at all meetings is mandatory. Each absence will result in a 20% penalty to your participation grade. Being absent is designated as not showing up for class, showing up after roll has been called, or leaving class while class is still in session without permission.
You are responsible for what you miss
If you are late or absent, you are still responsible for any material you missed including assignments. Your first recourse should be to get notes from a fellow student. If you still have any questions about what was covered and how in-class work can be made up, contact your professor as soon as possible. Please be aware that certain in-class assignments cannot properly be made up if missed. Missing such assignments will affect your grade.
Advance Notice
If you know in advance that you will be absent, please let me know in advance. Advance notice tells me you care and predisposes me to help you with what you missed.
Emergencies and Documentation:
If you missed a class due to a true personal or family emergency, contact me as soon as possible. If verifying documentation is supplied and authenticated, this type of absence may (not will) be excused from affecting your grade.
EMAIL
Email is the primary means of communication between the professor and the students enrolled in the course outside of class time. Students should be sure their email listed under ?demographic information? in the campus connect system is current and correct.
D2L
Written Assignments should be submitted online via D2L by the deadline stated on the D2L dropbox. Other pertinent documents and information may be posted on D2L throughout the quarter. Most importantly, the calendar on D2L will be updated regularly to reflect any changes in the event schedule. When in doubt, check there.
ASSIGNMENTS
Reasonable deadlines are given for completion for each assignment. Consequently, late assignments will not be accepted without prior consent of the instructor. If late work is accepted, it will be marked down.
Content & Scheduling Changes
Depending on time factors, the assignments projected for the term (and therefore the grading scale) may require alteration or rescheduling. Students will be notified of any changes and should follow the most recent schedule or deadline provided.
Food Policy:
Food is NOT allowed in the classroom. A water bottle or beverage is ok but please keep a lid on it to avoid spills.
Academic Integrity and Plagiarism
This course will be subject to the academic integrity policy passed by faculty. More information can be found at http://academicintegrity.depaul.edu/.
The university and school policy on plagiarism can be summarized as follows: Students in this course should be aware of the strong sanctions that can be imposed against someone guilty of plagiarism. If proven, a charge of plagiarism could result in an automatic F in the course and possible expulsion. The strongest of sanctions will be imposed on anyone who submits as his/her own work any assignment which has been prepared by someone else. If you have any questions or doubts about what plagiarism entails or how to properly acknowledge source materials be sure to consult the instructor.
Withdrawal
Students who withdraw from the course do so by using the Campus Connection system (http://campusconnect.depaul.edu. Withdrawals processed via this system are effective the day on which they are made. Simply ceasing to attend, or notifying the instructor, or nonpayment of tuition, does not constitute an official withdrawal from class and will result in academic as well as financial penalty.
Retroactive Withdrawal
This policy exists to assist students for whom extenuating circumstances prevented them from meeting the withdrawal deadline. During their college career students may be allowed one medical/personal administrative withdrawal and one college office administrative withdrawal, each for one or more courses in a single term. Repeated requests will not be considered. Submitting an appeal for retroactive withdrawal does not guarantee approval.
College office appeals for CDM students must be submitted online via MyCDM. The deadlines for submitting appeals are as follows:
Autumn Quarter: Last day of the last final exam of the subsequent winter quarter Winter Quarter: Last day of the last final exam of the subsequent spring quarter Spring Quarter: Last day of the last final exam of the subsequent autumn quarter Summer Terms: Last day of the last final exam of the subsequent autumn quarter
Excused Absence
In order to petition for an excused absence, students who miss class due to illness or significant personal circumstances should complete the Absence Notification process through the Dean of Students office. The form can be accessed at http://studentaffairs.depaul.edu/dos/forms.html.
Students must submit supporting documentation alongside the form. The professor reserves the
sole right whether to offer an excused absence and/or academic accommodations for an excused absence.
Incomplete
An incomplete grade is a special, temporary grade that may be assigned by an instructor when unforeseeable circumstances prevent a student from completing course requirements by the end of the term and when otherwise the student had a record of satisfactory progress in the course. CDM policy requires the student to initiate the request for incomplete grade before the end of the term in which the course is taken. Prior to submitting the incomplete request, the student must discuss the circumstances with the instructor. Students may initiate the incomplete request process in MyCDM.
All incomplete requests must be approved by the instructor of the course and a CDM Associate Dean. Only exceptions cases will receive such approval.
If approved, students are required to complete all remaining course requirement independently in consultation with the instructor by the deadline indicated on the incomplete request form.
By default, an incomplete grade will automatically change to a grade of F after two quarters have elapsed (excluding summer) unless another grade is recorded by the instructor.
An incomplete grade does NOT grant the student permission to attend the same course in a future quarter.
Students with Disabilities
Students who feel they may need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact the instructor privately to discuss their specific needs. All discussions will remain confidential.
To ensure that you receive the most appropriate accommodation based on your needs, contact the instructor as early as possible in the quarter (preferably within the first week of class), and make sure that you have contacted the Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD) at:
Student Center, LPC, Suite #370 Phone number: (773)325.1677
Fax: (773)325.3720
TTY: (773)325.7296
This syllabus is subject to change as necessary during the quarter. If a change occurs, it will be thoroughly addressed during class, posted under Announcements in D2L and sent via email.
Evaluations are a way for students to provide valuable feedback regarding their instructor and the course. Detailed feedback will enable the instructor to continuously tailor teaching methods and course
content to meet the learning goals of the course and the academic needs of the students. They are a requirement of the course and are key to continue to provide you with the highest quality of teaching. The
evaluations are anonymous; the instructor and administration do not track who entered what responses. A program is used to check if the student completed the evaluations, but the evaluation is completely
separate from the student’s identity. Since 100% participation is our goal, students are sent periodic reminders over three weeks. Students do not receive reminders once they complete the evaluation.
Students complete the evaluation online in CampusConnect.
This course will be subject to the university's academic integrity policy. More information can be found at http://academicintegrity.depaul.edu/ If you
have any questions be sure to consult with your professor.
All students are expected to abide by the University's Academic Integrity Policy which prohibits cheating and other misconduct in student coursework. Publicly sharing or posting online any prior or current materials from this course (including exam questions or answers), is considered to be providing unauthorized assistance prohibited by the policy. Both students who share/post and students who access or use such materials are considered to be cheating under the Policy and will be subject to sanctions for violations of Academic Integrity.
All students are required to manage their class schedules each term in accordance with the deadlines for enrolling and withdrawing as indicated in the University Academic Calendar. Information on enrollment, withdrawal, grading and incompletes can be found at http://www.cdm.depaul.edu/Current%20Students/Pages/PoliciesandProcedures.aspx.
