NO Required Textbook (Reading assignments are online and listed on syllabus) Description of the course: Competencies:
Assignments: Class Policies: Attendance: The expectations for this class are the same as your future school employers. As such, students are expected to attend every class, with the exception of illness and/or extenuating circumstances. Absences must be cleared with the professor. Additionally, it is the student’s responsibility to make arrangements with another member of the class to keep up-to-date on assignments. Excess absences, as determined by the professor, may result in grade deductions. Academic Integrity: It is assumed that all students understand the consequences of academic dishonesty at Gustavus Adolphus College. Full descriptions of the Academic Honesty Policy and the Honor Code can be found in the catalogue on the web at: http://gustavus.edu/academics/general_catalog/current/index.cfm?pr=acainfo Students with Disabilities: Gustavus Adolphus College is committed to ensuring the full participation of all students in its programs. If you have a documented disability (or you think you may have a disability of any nature) and, as a result, need reasonable academic accommodation to participate in class, take tests or benefit from the College’s services, then you should speak with the Disability Services Coordinator, for a confidential discussion of your needs and appropriate plans. Course requirements cannot be waived, but reasonable accommodations may be provided based on disability documentation and course outcomes. Accommodations cannot be made retroactively; therefore, to maximize your academic success at Gustavus, please contact Disability Services as early as possible. Disability Services (https://gustavus.edu/advising/disability/) is located in the Advising and Counseling Center. Students Whose First Language is Not English: English Language Learners (ELL) and Multilingual students is available via the College's ELL Support staff person, Andrew Grace (agrace@gustavus.edu or x7395). He can meet with individual students for tutoring in writing, consulting about academic tasks, and helping them connect with the College’s support systems. The ELL Support person can also consult with faculty members who have ELL and multilingual students enrolled in their classes. The College’s ELL staff person can provide students with a letter to a professor that explains and supports academic accommodations (i.e. additional time on tests, additional revisions for papers). Professors make decisions based on those recommendations at their own discretion. In addition, ELL and multilingual students can seek help from peer tutors in the Writing Center. Late Assignments: Assignments will be automatically marked down ten percentage points for each weekday that they are handed in late, unless there are extenuating circumstances. Extenuating circumstances will be determined at the discretion of the professor, based on proper written documentation. Email: The professor will be readily accessible via email. It is important to note that email is another form of communication and students should present themselves in a professional manner. As such, it is expected that emails from students to the professor contain a salutation, as well as proper grammar and capitalization. It is also expected that students regularly check their Gustavus email for communication regarding EDU 241: Educational Technology.
