Description:
EDUC 1300 is a study of the 1) research and theory in the psychology of
learning, cognition, and motivation; and 2) factors that impact learning; and
application of learning strategies. Theoretical models of strategic learning,
cognition, and motivation serve as the conceptual basis for the introduction of
college-level student academic strategies. Students use assessment
instruments (e.g., learning inventories) to help them identify their own strengths
EDUC 1300 – page 2
and weaknesses as strategic learners. Students are ultimately expected to
integrate and apply the learning skills discussed across their own academic
programs and become effective and efficient learners. Students developing
these skills should be able to continually draw from the theoretical models they
have learned.

HCC Policy Statement: Academic Honesty:
A student who is academically dishonest is, by definition, not showing that the coursework has been
learned, and that student is claiming an advantage not available to other students. The instructor is
responsible for measuring each student's individual achievements and also for ensuring that all students
compete on a level playing field. Thus, in our system, the instructor has teaching, grading, and
enforcement roles. You are expected to be familiar with the University's Policy on Academic Honesty,
found in the catalog. What that means is: If you are charged with an offense, pleading ignorance of the
rules will not help you. Students are responsible for conducting themselves with honor and integrity in
fulfilling course requirements. Penalties and/or disciplinary proceedings may be initiated by College
System officials against a student accused of scholastic dishonesty. “Scholastic dishonesty”: includes,
but is not limited to, cheating on a test, plagiarism, and collusion.
EDUC 1300 – page 7
Cheating on a test includes:
 Copying from another students’ test paper;
 Using materials not authorized by the person giving the test;
 Collaborating with another student during a test without authorization;
 Knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, transporting, or soliciting in whole or part the contents
of a test that has not been administered;
 Bribing another person to obtain a test that is to be administered.
Plagiarism means the appropriation of another’s work and the unacknowledged incorporation of that
work in one’s own written work offered for credit.
Collusion mean the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing written work offered for
credit. Possible punishments for academic dishonesty may include a grade of 0 or F in the particular
assignment, failure in the course, and/or recommendation for probation or dismissal from the College
System. (See the Student Handbook)
HCC Policy Statements:
Class Attendance - It is important that you come to class! Attending class regularly is the best way to
succeed in this class. Research has shown that the single most important factor in student success is
attendance. Simply put, going to class greatly increases your ability to succeed. You are expected to
attend all lecture and labs regularly. You are responsible for materials covered during your absences.
Class attendance is checked daily. Although it is your responsibility to drop a course for nonattendance,
the instructor has the authority to drop you for excessive absences.
If you are not attending class, you are not learning the information. As the information that is discussed in
class is important for your career, students may be dropped from a course after accumulating absences
in excess of six (6) hours of instruction. The six hours of class time would include any total classes
missed or for excessive tardiness or leaving class early.
You may decide NOT to come to class for whatever reason. As an adult making the decision not to
attend, you do not have to notify the instructor prior to missing a class. However, if this happens too many
times, you may suddenly find that you have “lost” the class.
Poor attendance records tend to correlate with poor grades. If you miss any class, including the first
week, you are responsible for all material missed. It is a good idea to find a friend or a buddy in class who
would be willing to share class notes or discussion or be able to hand in paper if you unavoidably miss a
class.
Class attendance equals class success.
Six Drop Rule http://imc02.hccs.edu/gcac/drop.htm
Important information you need to know about dropping courses. Effective 2007, section 51.907 of the
Texas Education Code applies to first-time in college freshman students who enroll in a Texas public
institution of higher education in the fall semester of 2007 or thereafter. High school students currently
enrolled in HCC Dual Credit and Early College are waived from this requirement until they graduate from
high school. Based on this law, HCC or any other Texas Public institution of higher education may not
permit students to drop after the official day of record more than six college level credit courses for
unacceptable reasons during their entire undergraduate career.
Third Attempt Enrollment Information
Houston Community College charges a higher tuition to students who are registering for a class for the
third or subsequent time. www.hccs.edu/hccs/current-students From the Student Support column, select
Admissions & Records link, then Third Attempt Enrollment for further information.
EDUC 1300 – page 8
HCC Course Withdrawal Policy
If you feel that you cannot complete this course, you will need to withdraw from the course prior to the
final date of withdrawal. Before, you withdraw from your course; please take the time to meet with the
instructor to discuss why you feel it is necessary to do so. The instructor may be able to provide you with
suggestions that would enable you to complete the course. Your success is very important. Beginning in
fall 2007, the Texas Legislature passed a law limiting first time entering freshmen to no more than SIX
total course withdrawals throughout their educational career in obtaining a certificate and/or degree.
To help students avoid having to drop/withdraw from any class, HCC has instituted an Early Alert process
by which your professor may “alert” you and HCC counselors that you might fail a class because of
excessive absences and/or poor academic performance. It is your responsibility to visit with your
professor or a counselor to learn about what, if any, HCC interventions might be available to assist you –
online tutoring, child care, financial aid, job placement, etc. – to stay in class and improve your academic
performance.
If you plan on withdrawing from your class, you MUST contact a HCC counselor or your professor prior to
withdrawing (dropping) the class for approval and this must be done PRIOR to the withdrawal deadline to
receive a “W” on your transcript. **Final withdrawal deadlines vary each semester and/or depending on
class length, please visit the online registration calendars, HCC schedule of classes and catalog, any
HCC Registration Office, or any HCC counselor to determine class withdrawal deadlines. Remember to
allow a 24-hour response time when communicating via email and/or telephone with a professor
and/or counselor. Do not submit a request to discuss withdrawal options less than a day before
the deadline. If you do not withdraw before the deadline, you will receive the grade that you are making
in the class as your final grade.
The last date to withdraw from a class with a grade of “W” for Fall, 2012, is Friday,
November 2, by 4:30PM. YOU must take the responsibility to withdraw from the class.
Do NOT depend upon your professor to do it for you. If you do not withdraw, your final
grade will be a “F.” Instructor has an option to withdraw students for excessive
absences before the deadline date.
Repeat Course Fee
The State of Texas encourages students to complete college without having to repeat failed classes. To
increase student success, students who repeat the same course more than twice, are required to pay
extra tuition. The purpose of this extra tuition fee is to encourage students to pass their courses and to
graduate. Effective fall 2006, HCC will charge a higher tuition rate to students registering the third or
subsequent time for a course. If you are considering course withdrawal because you are not earning
passing grades, confer with your instructor/counselor as early as possible about your study habits,
reading and writing homework, test taking skills, attendance, course participation, and opportunities for
tutoring or other assistance that might be available.
Classroom Behavior
As your instructor and as a student in this class, it is our shared responsibility to develop and maintain a
positive learning environment for everyone. Your instructor takes this responsibility very seriously and will
inform members of the class if their behavior makes it difficult for him/her to carry out this task. As a
fellow learner, you are asked to respect the learning needs of your classmates and assist your instructor
achieve this critical goal.
Use of Camera and/or Recording Devices
As a student active in the learning community of this course, it is your responsibility to be respectful of the
learning atmosphere in your classroom. To show respect of your fellow students and instructor, you will
turn off your phone and other electronic devices, and will not use these devices in the classroom unless
you receive permission from the instructor.
EDUC 1300 – page 9
Use of recording devices, including camera phones and tape recorders, is prohibited in classrooms,
laboratories, faculty offices, and other locations where instruction, tutoring, or testing occurs. Students
with disabilities who need to use a recording device as a reasonable accommodation should contact the
Office for Students with Disabilities for information regarding reasonable accommodations.
According to the Texas Education Code 37.123:
“No person or groups of persons acting in concert may willfully engage in disruptive activities or disrupt a
lawful assembly on the campus or property of any private or public school or institution of higher
education or public vocational and technical school or institute.” Hindering other students' learning or
deterring an instructor from effective teaching will not be tolerated. The student who is unprepared, sleeps
in class, or is disruptive will be asked to leave the class and be counted absent.
http://www.hccs.edu/hccs/current-students From the Student Support column, select Student Handbook
link for further information (reference Disruptive Behavior pgs. 35-37).
EGLS3 -- Evaluation for Greater Learning Student Survey System
At Houston Community College, professors believe that thoughtful student feedback is necessary to
improve teaching and learning. During a designated time, you will be asked to answer a short online
survey of research-based questions related to instruction. The anonymous results of the survey will be
made available to your professors and division chairs for continual improvement of instruction. Look for
the survey as part of the Houston Community College Student System online near the end of the term.
Careers Research Project:
A major portion of your grade is dependent on your completion of the careers research project. It must be
submitted on time. Check the course calendar for due dates and suggested milestone completion
timeline. Instructions for completing this report are found at the end of your course syllabus. Please read
the instructions and compose any questions that you may have. The research will be discussed in more
detail in the course.
Library Orientation:
You will spend on class day completing a library orientation with an HCC librarian. The purpose of the
orientation is to help prepare you for the completion of your research project. The library orientation will
consist of an overview of the library services, a tour of the library, researching databases and MLA format
writing. This is a MANDOTARY class meeting and you could be subject to lower grade reduction if you
don’t attend. The date will be given to you once it has been determined.
Make a new friend: You may plan to never be absent & that is great! However, things may occur that
are out of your control causing you to be absent occasionally. Anything you miss during an absence is
your responsibility! It is unreasonable for you to request that I repeat my lecture to you upon your return
after an absence. This is why I suggest to all students that you make a friend/buddy in the class (maybe
even a few). So, if you are absent, you can call that classmate up and ask what you missed, etc… Let’s
take a few minutes for you to get acquainted with
