Course 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 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.
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! Since this course is totally online you
attendance is recorded thru your participation in the course work. 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 respond to all discussion questions and required assignments
regularly. You are responsible for materials covered during your absences. Class attendance is
checked daily through Eagle Online 2. 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 logging into the class, you are not learning the information.
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.
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.
LAST DAY FOR STUDENT OR ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWAL
Monday, March 31, by 4:30PM
The last date to withdraw from a class with a grade of “W” for Spring, 2014, is Monday,
March 31, 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.
LAST DAY FOR STUDENT OR ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWAL
Monday, March 31, by 4:30PM
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. This includes, but not
limited to your responses to the discussion questions or email correspondences.
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.
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.
