Course Purpose, Outcomes, Teaching Calendar, and other Expectations
Course Purpose and Structure
Replace this text with the information to help students understand the purpose of the course and how
the learning process is structured and carried out such as the delivery modalities (online or blended),
types of learning activities, and how learning will be assessed. If teaching a blended course make it
clear to students that the course has both online and face-to-face requirements
Syllabus
Course Level Objectives/Outcomes
Replace this text with the measurable course learning objectives which precisely describe what
students are to gain from instruction. These objectives should also provide the criteria instructors
need to accurately assess student accomplishment. Objectives describe student performance in
specific, observable terms. If this specificity is not possible (e.g., internal cognition, affective changes),
ensure clear indications that the learning objectives can be meaningfully assessed.
The learning objectives should be written in a way that allows students, including non-native speakers,
to easily grasp their meaning and the learning outcomes expected. The use of educational jargon,
3
Last Revision: SU 2015
confusing terms, unnecessarily complex language, and puzzling syntax should be avoided.
For a course in which students are expected to demonstrate analytical skills and/or ability to express
themselves effectively in writing or in other forms of communication, the learning objectives should
include reference to these objectives in addition to objectives that relate to mastery of content.
Course Schedule/Calendar
Replace this text with the course specific teaching calendar. Students should be made aware of what
requirements are expected and when those requirements are due. If teaching a face-to-face or
blended class this schedule/calendar may be as simple as Week 1…Chapter 1 requirements, etc., but
an online class should have specific requirements and due dates documented here. If teaching a
Hybrid course ensure the course schedule/calendar fully covers both the online and face-to-face
portions of the course and clearly specify the due dates, times, and locations of face-to-face class
meetings. A disclaimer statement can be included such as: “The professor reserves the right to alter
this schedule/calendar in any way during the semester with full disclosure to the student.”
Grading Policy
Replace this text with a clear statement fully explaining how the course grades are calculated. The
points, percentages, and weights for each component of the course grade should be clearly stated.
The relationship(s) between points, percentages, weights, and letter grades should be explained.
Late work, missed test and/or incompletes
Replace this text with your specific late work, missed work and incompletes policy.
Extra Credit:
Replace this text with your extra credit policy.
Instructor’s Plan for classroom response time and feedback
Replace this text describing how you will communicate with your students. Will you use Blackboard,
EOSC email, call students? What can they expect regarding instructor/student communications?
Include in your statement the time frame for which they can expect you to respond to their
communications.
Attendance Policy
Replace this text with a clear statement fully explaining the attendance requirements for the course.
Even an online class should explain the expectations for logging into the course and what is required
of the student to determine active participation in the course. If lack of attendance or active
participation will have a direct impact on the student’s grade clearly explain the impact. For example a
letter grade lowered because of number of student absences.
Student Course Evaluation Policy
Syllabus
In the event this course is randomly selected to be evaluated by enrolled students, you will be required
to complete the evaluation which is conducted online using EvaluationKit®. Surveys will become
available two weeks prior to finals week and end the Friday before finals begin on Monday of finals
week. A mobile app can be downloaded to complete the survey:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/evaluationkit-mobile/id511463047?ls=1&mt=8
https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=EvaluationKIT

Access link in the Tools module. Your instructor will help you locate this required survey.

Eastern Oklahoma State College’s Accessibility Policy
Syllabus
Americans Disabilities Act (ADA)
The Americans Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) is the civil rights guarantee for persons with disabilities
in the United States. It provides protection from discrimination for individuals on the basis of disability.
The ADA extends civil rights protection for people with disabilities to employment in the public and
private sectors, transportation, public accommodations, services provided by state and local
government, and telecommunications.
Accessibility Policy
EOSC faculty include the following statement in the course syllabi each semester:
 The faculty, staff, and administration at Eastern Oklahoma State College will adhere to the
policies as set in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and are committed to making
reasonable accommodations for all with disabilities who are qualified to be in an Associate
degree program. Eastern’s learning platform for online course delivery (Blackboard Learn)
also meets accessibility standards.
 Students are responsible for submitting all professional documentation outlining specific needs
and requirements to the Student Disability Services Coordinator in the Enrollment Center
(Library 156, 918.465.1810). This professional documentation must be established before any
accommodations can be made by the instructor or by appropriate college personnel.
Depending on the specific documented disability of the qualified student, course
accommodations may include a wide variety of options. Any accommodations will be
determined by campus personnel responsible for ADA accommodations in conjunction with
5
Last Revision: SU 2015
the professionally documented disability of the student.
Services Available
Student Disability Services is committed to providing assistance to students that will facilitate their
independence and academic progress. Students should utilize these services to support their
academic goals. Reasonable accommodations are based on appropriate documentations and
disability-related needs, and not desire. Students should be aware that services will be designed in a
manner to remove barriers in the classroom that could hinder a student’s ability to learn. Services are
not intended to give the student an unfair advantage over other students in the class. Each case will
be viewed individually and determinations made upon the documentation submitted and discussion
with the student. When providing accommodation for disabilities, institutions of higher education are
not required to lower academic standards or compromise the integrity of the school or program.
EOSC Nondiscrimination Policy
It is the policy of Eastern Oklahoma State College not to discriminate in its educational programs,
activities or employment policies, on the basis of race, color, religion or national origin as required by
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; on the basis of sex as required by Title IX of the 1972
Educational Amendments; on the basis of disability as required by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or on the basis of age or veteran
status.
The following person has been designated to handle inquiries regarding accessibility and nondiscrimination policies:
