Methodology:
To achieve an effective teaching/learning outcome the following methodology will be used:
1. Students will study the assigned chapter/material before coming to lecture by reading the
textbook and reviewing the PowerPoint presentation posted on Desire2Learn (click on
the Contents tab).
2. Instructor will explain key points and answer questions from students. Instructor may add
related material to enrich the course content.
3. Instructor will become more as a facilitator of learning. This means that the instructor
will provide as much individual or group assistance as needed.
4. Students should work and learn in teams. This is very important to be successful in the
real world.
5. Students will take weekly quizzes, two Midterms and the Final Exam.
Quizzes, Midterms and the Final Exam will begin and end at the scheduled time.
6. There will be no makeup tests. Students who do not take a test will receive a grade of 00
on that test whatever the excuse, reason or circumstance.
7. Students will answer select problems at the end of each chapter. These answers won’t be
collected but will serve as the basis for Quizzes, Midterms and Final Exam.
University, College, or Department Policy Information
a) Academic integrity statement (from the Office of Student Conduct and Ethical
Development):
“Your own commitment to learning, as evidenced by your enrollment at San Jose State
University, and the university’s Academic Integrity Policy requires you to be honest in all your
academic course work. Faculty members are required to report all infractions to the office of
Student Conduct and Ethical Development. The policy on academic integrity can be found at
