Big Picture!:
As you see from the schedule, we will be covering a great deal of information. Much of this information
will relate or expand on the knowledge you have obtained throughout your major coursework. As
Seniors, you are beginning to seriously think about the future and how the information you have obtained
relates to your future goals. This course is not simply a review! It is designed to identify the most
important knowledge and skills that you should have at graduation, reinforce and expand the depth of
your knowledge and skills, and provide you with an understanding of how the individual puzzle pieces fit
together for your future in Speech-Language Pathology. The most important thing you can do to make
this course a valuable part of your professional development is to set up a consistent study schedule.
During this course you will be doing projects (both group and individual projects) that will help you
develop a deeper understanding of the field. Project groups will be formed at the beginning of the
semester and will be used for all group projects.
CSD Major – Attendance Policy:
The attendance policy of the College of Arts & Sciences states: “To earn course credit in the College of
Arts and Sciences, a student must attend at least 75% of all scheduled class meetings. Any student who
does not meet this minimal standard will automatically receive a grade of ‘F’ in the course. Departments
and individual faculty members may establish more stringent requirements regarding attendance,
punctuality, and participation.” As a CSD Major, you are basically expected to attend all classes. In the
event you are unable to attend a class session, it is your responsibility to obtain (a) class notes and/or
handouts from another student, and (b) any changes in the class schedule. You are also expected to take
tests on time. If you are ill, it is your responsibility to notify the instructor prior to the time of the test. If
you miss a test without prior approval from your instructor, you will be subject to receiving a zero for the
test. When returning from the illness, it is the student’s responsibility to take the makeup exam within 3
days or the student will automatically receive a zero for the test.
Class Behavior:
The best classes are those that involve interactions between the professor(s) and students.
As Seniors taking an advanced Capstone seminar, you are expected to be involved in the class.
Discussions about relevant issues, sharing your experiences about relevant issues, and adding your own
insights to the class are not only welcome, but are the expected behavior for this seminar. Disruptive
behavior, such as cell phones, non-group discussions, late arrivals, poor attendance, working on non-class
related things during class, or any other disruptive behavior is unacceptable. The professor(s) reserve the
right to raise or lower the calculated grade based on class behavior. Plagiarism or cheating will result in a
failing grade for the course or the assignment (at the discretion of the professor).
Portfolio
Throughout the course you will be building a Portfolio. If done properly, you will have a wonderful
source of information for future use. You should set up seven dividers (one labeled for each major
section). Included in each section will be your typed and expanded notes, reviews of information, copies
of key information about that area, handouts, and individual/group projects. The Portfolio will be due
Friday, November 25th and will comprise a full 16% of your grade. There will be very high expectations
for the quality of your Portfolio. A complete Portfolio with all of the basic information required will
begin with a grade of C. Each section of the portfolio should be completed by the end of each section!
Keep up! There may be surprise inspections of the portfolio during the semester.
