7. Justification for course change.
The content of this course has never included subjects related to Oceanic and African art and
it became a topics class so that students would understand the focus was only on Native
American Art. The course title change along with the deletion of it as a topics course reflect
how it is currently offered and how it has been offered for the past few years. At the same
time, we are requesting the removal of the global diversity designation and its replacement
with U.S. ethnic diversity as the latter accurately reflects the content of the current course.
The attached syllabi confirm that the course’s content will not change, as the only topic that
has been taught for the past few years has been Native North American Art.

Grading System:
ALL assignments must be completed in order to pass the course, unless you provide the instructor with a valid
written medical or institutional letter discussing why this will not be possible. With proper documentation, your
remaining grades will be averaged together.
The grading scale for the course is as follows:
90%-100% =A
80%-89% =B
70%-79%=C
60%-69%=D
Effective Fall 2013

Grading Criteria:
See attached grading form with detailed description of evaluation criteria for final paper.
COURSE POLICIES:
Late Assignments: There will be NO makeup writing assignments or makeup tests unless there is a valid medical
written excuse (from the doctor, hospital, etc), or a valid institutional excuse presented (or notification that it will be
forthcoming) within 24 hours of the missed assignment. A missed assignment will be counted as a zero.
Attendance Policy: Given the structure of the course, which is based partly on class discussions, it is imperative that you
attend each class, participate actively, and demonstrate your knowledge of the assigned readings both verbally and in
writing. Any more than two unexcused absences (those without a valid medical excuse or a valid institutional excuse) will
result in a reduction of the student’s letter grade by one-third (i.e., from an A to an A-).
Statement on Plagiarism and Cheating: The Department of Humanities, Arts, and Religion considers cheating and
plagiarism serious issues and deals with them severely. Any student found cheating or plagiarizing will fail the exam or
assignment, and may be removed from the class.
Cell Phones and Other Electronic Devices: ALL cell phones, pagers, beeping watches and any other form of electronic
device MUST BE SWITCHED off BEFORE you enter the classroom. If one of these devices goes off, you will be asked
to leave the class for the remainder of the period.
University policies: See the NAU website for the Safe Working and Learning Environment, Students with Disabilities,
Institutional Review Board, and Academic Integrity policies.

COURSE POLICIES
Late Assignments: There will be NO makeup tests unless there is a valid medical written excuse (from the doctor, hospital, etc), or
a valid institutional excuse presented (or notification that it will be forthcoming) within 24 hours of the missed assignment. A
missed assignment will be counted as a zero.
Attendance Policy: Given the structure of the course, which is based partly on class discussions, it is imperative that you attend each
class, participate actively, and demonstrate your knowledge of the assigned readings both verbally and in writing. Any more than two
unexcused absences (those without a valid medical excuse or a valid institutional excuse) will result in a reduction of the student’s
attendance and participation score by 2 points per absence.
Statement on Plagiarism and Cheating: The Department of Comparative Cultural Studies considers cheating and plagiarism serious
issues and deals with them severely. Any student found cheating or plagiarizing will fail the exam or assignment, and may be
removed from the class.
Cell Phones and Other Electronic Devices: ALL cell phones, pagers, beeping watches and any other form of electronic device
MUST BE SWITCHED off BEFORE you enter the classroom. If one of these devices goes off, you will be asked to leave the class
for the remainder of the period.
