13. Attendance Requirements: Attendance is very important to your success in this class. Exams may be made
up (with a penalty of 10% per day for lateness), but no other aspect of this course may be made up at a later
date. Meeting deadlines is very important. In the event of a missed assignment or activity, it is the student’s
responsibility to contact the instructor. Absences will affect your grade. Missing more than 25% of the classes
will result in a failing grade for the course. Missing an hour or more of a class is counted as an absence.
Participation in online portions counts as an equal part of the attendance component. Missing online
assignments is the same as missing face-to-face classes.
All Wayland students are expected to attend every class meeting; the minimum percentage of class
participation required to avoid receiving a grade of “F” in the class is 75%. Students who miss the first
two class meetings without providing a written explanation to the instructor will be automatically
dropped from the roster as a “no-show.” Students who know in advance that they will be absent the first
two class meetings and who wish to remain in the class must inform the instructor in order to discuss
possible arrangements for making up absences.
14. Statement on Plagiarism and Academic Dishonesty: Wayland Baptist University observes a zero tolerance
policy regarding academic dishonesty. Per university policy as described in the academic catalog, all cases
of academic dishonesty will be reported and second offenses will result in suspension from the university.
15. Disability Statement: “In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), it is the
policy of Wayland Baptist University that no otherwise qualified person with a disability be excluded from
participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any educational program
or activity in the university. The Coordinator of Counseling Services serves as the coordinator of students
with a disability and should be contacted concerning accommodation requests at (806) 291- 3765.
Documentation of a disability must accompany any request for accommodations.”

Students shall have protection through orderly procedures against prejudices or capricious academic
evaluation. A student who believes that he or she has not been held to realistic academic standards,
just evaluation procedures, or appropriate grading, may appeal the final grade given in the course by
using the student grade appeal process described in the Academic Catalog. Appeals may not be made for
advanced placement examinations or course bypass examinations. Appeals are limited to the final course
grade, which may be upheld, raised, or lowered at any stage of the appeal process. Any recommendation
to lower a course grade must be submitted through the Executive Vice President/Provost to the Faculty
Assembly Grade Appeals Committee for review and approval. The Faculty Assembly Grade Appeals

18. Additional information as desired by the faculty member.
Class Participation: Class participation is a very important part of education. This class requires active
class participation. Many classes begin with a basic question that appears clear-cut, and the class
participation is what helps add to the complexity that is critical for solving problems and understanding
processes. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in class.
Other Important Information:
1. Homework is due by the beginning of each class.
2. Late homework will result in a lower grade.
3. Written work is graded on the basis of content first, but also on the quality of grammar and
punctuation.
4. All written assignments should be 12-point type, double-spaced, and using APA Manuscript Writing
Style.
5. Questions concerning grades received should be resolved within one week after the assignment has
been returned.
6. Unless noted as a group assignment, all work should be original work of the individual student.
7. Academic honesty is expected of all students. Plagiarism, cheating, and other acts that lack academic
honesty may result in a zero on the particular assignment.
8. Students will need to use the Internet to access some assignments.
9. Cell phones and pagers must be placed on vibrate or silent mode.
10. Presentations of papers must be done on the assigned date with the class to receive credit.
11. Exams may be made up, but there is a 10% penalty for each day it is late.
12. Always contact the professor if you need assistance.
Article Presentations: In order to better understand and participate in the stages of the study of the assigned
material, students will be required to bring examples of relevant topics to class. The format for the articles
will be described in class, and when presented they will be graded based upon quality and relevance to the
topic being discussed. They may also be graded based upon the amount of class discussion that ensues
when the summary is presented. Length of the individual presentations will be discussed when each
assignment is made.
Term Paper: Students will complete one research paper for this class. The paper should be a minimum of
ten pages of content, excluding coversheet, abstract and references, and should utilize at least ten
references, five of them scholarly (journal articles, not just websites). Students will orally present a
summary of this paper to the class. Papers must utilize APA format. Topics for papers must also be preapproved by the professor. To avoid a 10% deduction, paper draft must be available by the ninth class
meeting to submit online to Safe Assignment. If Safe Assignment detects more than a 20% match of
previously written work, you must discuss with the instructor to get further instructions.
STATEMENTS:
Course Format: This course will be taught in a blended format, with the majority (over 51%) of the
contact hours occurring in class. There will also be Blackboard assignments and other activities outside the
classroom.
“This class will adhere to zero tolerance for using someone else’s work as your own.”
“Students are responsible for reading, understanding, obeying, and respecting all academic policies, with
added emphasis being placed upon academic progress policies, appearing in the Wayland Baptist
University Academic Catalog applicable to their curriculum and/or program of study.”
