ATTENDANCE POLICY Students are expected to attend all classes, field experiences, and participate in a positive manner. Remember, your demonstration of professionalism begins in the classroom here and in your field work in a local school. Absences will affect your grade. More than three absences for any reason will result in a letter grade deduction in your final grade. More than 4 absences for any reason will result in a course grade of F. If you are ill or must be absent for any reason, you should contact the professor. It is the student’s responsibility to make up any class work or homework that is missed in a timely manner. Also, coming to class late or leaving class early counts as a partial absence. Ten points will be deducted for each day absent from class or from field experience (no exceptions). POLICIES AND PROCEDURES I. Students are required to punctually attend all class meetings. II. Any assignment, quiz, or test missed due to a GSW sanctioned event must be completed prior to the absence and late assignments will not be accepted. Consistent and punctual attendance is critical to your successful completion of this course. III. Professional behavior is expected of all students. Inappropriate class conduct (cursing, disruption, etc.) may result in a reduced final grade or failure of the course. All cell phones and pagers should be turned off during class hours. Students should make themselves unavailable during class to outside calls or pages. Students who leave their cell phones on during class will be asked to leave. IV. Academic Honesty - The University assumes as a basic and minimum standard of conduct in academic matters that students be honest and they submit for credit only the products of their own efforts. All dishonest work will be rejected as a basis for academic credit. This includes work done in unauthorized collaboration with another person, falsification (for instance, misrepresented material, fabricated information, false or misleading citation of sources, falsification of the results of experiments or computer data) and multiple submissions (work submitted for credit more than once without explicit consent of the instructor to whom work is being submitted for additional credit). V. Cheating and Plagiarism. Any student found cheating or plagiarizing a test, quiz, or assignment will immediately fail that test, quiz, or assignment, may fail the course, and will be referred to the Department Chair for further disciplinary action. Sanctions up to and including expulsion are possible, subject to the appeal procedures outlined in the Student Handbook. VI. All written work must exhibit a college level competency in spelling, grammar, punctuation, and style. Written work with significant mechanical flaws will not be accepted.
Grading: Letter grades will be determined using a standard point evaluation as outlined below.
