Student Evaluation of Faculty and Course
Students will complete faculty appraisal forms as regularly administered by the University.
Page 20 of 47
CLASS POLICIES
ATTENDANCE: 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 2 of class session absences occur, the course grade will be F no matter what test and paper scores might be.
Regular attendance in class is important for student success, and it is university policy that students must attend class. Absences are recorded beginning from the first class session
after the student has enrolled in the course. Professors are not obligated to allow students to make up work they miss due to unexcused absences. Professors may apply additional
attendance policies as appropriate to individual courses. Likewise, the college or school may also apply additional attendance requirements as necessary. Please see the catalog
currently in use for the universitys policy on classroom absences caused in the course of student representation of the university, such as athletics, chorale, and mock trial
activities."
Medical notes for excused absences will be accepted only one week after the absence.
Absences, tardies, and early departure from class are strongly discouraged. It is very important to be on time for class and to stay for the entire class session.
Your performance in this course will be better if you attend classes and participate in the discussions. This course will be highly interactive and you will need
to be in class. If you arrive late or leave early, you will NOT receive full credit for participating or for attendance. If you do work not pertaining to this class
during class time, you will not receive full credit for participating.
ACADEMIC ACCOMODATIONS: Students needing learning accommodations should inform the professor immediately and consult the Academic Accommodations section of
the HBU Classroom Policy posted on Blackboard. 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 ACADEMIC
ACCOMODATIONS (continued). 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 STATEMENT. Late work will be penalized. You should not miss any exams. If you are sick, you need to notify the professor in advance. The professor reserves
the right to administer a different exam, deduct points for taking the exam late, and/or schedule the makeup for a later date. Missing an exam without giving prior notice will result
in a zero for that test, with no makeup.
All assignments are expected to be completed in their entirety by the beginning of class on the due date, even if the student is not in class. Late work is strongly discouraged.
Work may be submitted late ONLY (with proper documentation for illness or other emergency situations) within the following TWO calendar days, including weekends, for a
maximum grade value of 80. No work will be accepted after that deadline passes. As professionals it is imperative to complete responsibilities and tasks in a timely, effective
manner. [If work is returned for revision, it is expected to be re-submitted as directed by the professor regarding the due date and the maximum grade value of the revised effort.]
MISSED TESTS. All tests should be taken on the day and at the time when they are scheduled. Make-up tests will be given ONLY when the instructor is notified prior to the
exam, and there is a documented excused reason for missing the exam. Legitimate reasons include documented illness death in the family, etc. A make-up will then be completed at
a time mutually agreed upon by both the professor and student-as soon as possible after the exam date. Any unexcused absence on the test day will result in a grade of zero for the
particular test with no opportunity for a make-up test.
USE OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES. During class sessions, electronic devices are only to be used to support class activities. Other uses (texting, surfing the web, etc.) will result in
the device not being allowed in the classroom.
You must turn off all electronic devices in your possession to avoid distractions to the climate of the classroom. This includes cell phones. These should remain out of
sight during instructional.
Page 21 of 47
Answering cell phones, reading or responding to text messages during class will lower your participation grade. If this is a continuing distraction, the student will be
asked to leave class and this will be reflected in the course grade.
No cell phones will be allowed in the classroom for exams. Should you forget, you may leave any cell phones with the professor during the testing time. Any cell phone
that goes off in a students possession during an exam will be an automatic F on the exam.
No recording devices will be allowed in the classroom.
The use of personal laptop computers is only permitted at appropriate times when class note taking is beneficial, not during any activities and/or presentations.
The use of the Internet and computer for personal means during class time will result in a reduction in the class participation grade and loss of class use of the computer
for the remainder of the semester.

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. PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR DEVELOPING SYLLABUS: Dr. Dianne Reed

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
