Grading Standards Graduate Grading Scale: Assessments in this course are designed to correlate to the rigor and expectations addressed within the School of Education Graduate Comprehensive Examination. 94 -100=A; 90-93=A-; 87-89=B+; 83-86=B; 80-82=B-; 77-79=C+; 73-76=C; 70-72=C-; 69 and below=F It is the students individual responsibility to be aware of his/her current grade standing in the class and to confer with the professor regarding any assessment concerns/questions during designated office hours. Participation in the University Symposium is a source of bonus credit for this course. More details will be provided at the appropriate time. Detailed descriptions/rubrics regarding every assessment are provided towards the end of this syllabus and/or provided and discussed in class. Student Appraisal Students will complete faculty appraisal forms as regularly administered by the University. CLASS POLICIES Absence and Tardy Policies

In the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences, students must attend at least 75% of class sessions in order to receive a passing grade in the course. This means that if more than three absences occur, the course grade will be F no matter what test and paper scores might be. Documentation of Difficulties If an education student fails to demonstrate an acceptable level of performance on one or more professional educator standards during any class or field experience, a form is filed in the Education Office (a PMID: Progress Monitoring & Intervention Documentation). If two such forms occur, a conference is held in which difficulties are identified and means for improvement are explored. [Sometimes specific interventions will be required.] A third form will result in a committee hearing to review difficulties and means for improvement and to determine conditions for continuance in the program. Professional standards include knowledge, skills and dispositions.
Late Work There are so many assessment pieces in this course that I will NOT take any work late. If you miss something be sure to focus harder on the next assessment.

PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR DEVELOPING SYLLABUS Dr. Dawn Wilson

Students are required to read the University Classroom Policy addendum to this course syllabus that is included on Blackboard. In addition to the class policies listed here, it includes basic class policies that apply in all HBU classes.

COURSE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Syllabus Statement I am aware of all topics described in the course syllabus. These include, but are not limited to the following: course description; course sequence in the curriculum and prerequisite information; instructor information and learning resources; relation to the mission of the University and to the goals and purposes of the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences; course learning objectives; state and national standards covered (TExES competencies, IDA standards, etc); topical outline and learning strategies;; assessment for learning: requirements & grading standards; HBU CLASS POLICIES: the University document posted on Blackboard; additional policies for this class: attendance, late work, missed tests and electronic devices; the possibility of changes to the syllabus. [The content of this syllabus and the attached agenda are subject to change at the discretion of the professor.] Professional Integrity Statement To maintain and uphold the highest level of professional integrity and honesty, cheating and plagiarizing are not allowed. . If a student cheats and/or plagiarizes, then the student will receive a 0 for the assignment and/or fail the course Cheating is a catch-all term for not doing your own work. Any attempt during a test to consult with notes or another person or to look at anothers test constitutes cheating. If answers are shared in any way, both students will receive the same penalty for cheating. Using stolen tests or borrowed tests (any test that is not readily available to all members of the class) to study for an exam is cheating. Within the broader view of cheating is the idea of using someone elses work in place of your own. This is called plagiarism and is not allowed. DO NOT: copy another persons paper/project/work or part of that and turn it in as your own; copy a paper/project from the Internet and turn them in as your own; copy another paper/project (or cut and paste parts of Internet articles), make changes to it, and submit it as your own; include the work of others without documentation/reference (If seven or more words are taken directly from another source it must be quoted and referenced.); submit a paper/project or large parts of a paper/project you have done for another class at HBU or another institution to this class. (Always get a professors approval before using a prior work or topic from a different class.); have someone write parts or all of your paper/project/work share your work with others; and, change references or make up references. falsify fieldwork documentation By signing this page, I affirm that I have read and understand the contents of this course Syllabus Statement, the Professional Integrity Statement, and the University Class Policies.
