60-63% =
D9. On-line quizzes: Eight on-line quizzes worth 10-20 points must be completed in a specified
time range. Questions on the quizzes will be taken from the book and will focus on basic
terminology and information. This will allow class periods to be used for more detailed
discussion of integrated information. Although the quizzes will be open book, students must be
familiar with the material before beginning the quiz. You will be allowed 45 minutes for each 20
point quiz and 30 minutes for a 10 point quiz. Each quiz may be taken only one time.
10. Question sets: Question sets pertaining to neurologic control of speech and language, as well as
the major physiologic systems needed for speech production will be completed by groups of up
to four students. They will be due at the beginning of the class period specified on the
schedule. Grades will be assigned based on the depth and accuracy of the answers. All members
of a work group will receive the same grade. In addition to the required text, students should
use peer-reviewed journal articles and professional websites (e.g. ASHA, NIH, CDC) to answer
the questions. Websites such as Wikipedia and WebMD are not appropriate sources of
information. All references, in the document and in the reference list, must be in APA style.
Information about APA style is available through the UNCG Library webpage at
http://www.uncg.edu/eng/writingcenter/handouts.
11. Exams: Exams will start at the beginning of the class period for which they are scheduled.
Students will have the entire class period in which to complete the exam. If a student is late
for class, they will not be given additional time to complete the exam.
12. Extra Credit: No extra credit will be given in this course.
13. Grade Disagreements
If a student disagrees with any assigned grade, she/he must contact the instructor within 24
hours of receiving the grade to set up an appointment to discuss the disagreement.
14. Class Attendance
Class attendance is the student’s responsibility. However, no make-up exams will be given unless
the instructor has approved an excused absence. No assignments will be accepted after the due
date unless the instructor has approved an excused absence.
15. Suggested Academic Workload Guidelines
(http://web.uncg.edu/reg/Bulletin/Current/AcaRegs/CourseSelection/Workload.aspx).
a. In general, students should plan to devote between 2–3 hours outside of class for each
hour in class. Thus, students with a 15-hour course load should schedule between 30–45
hours weekly for completing outside-of-class reading, study, and homework assignments.
b. Students who are employed more than 5–10 hours each week should consider reducing their
course loads (semester hours), depending upon their study habits, learning abilities, and
course work requirements.
16. Academic Honor Code
All students are expected to adhere to the Academic Honor Policy as published in the UNCG
Student Handbook. Failure to do so will result in lowering of the course grade or expulsion from
the class. The policy is available at: http://academicintegrity.uncg.edu.
17. Learning Differences and/or Disabilities
For students with documented physical or learning differences and/or disabilities, appropriate
arrangements will be made for completion of all class and assessment experiences. However,
documentation of these differences and/or disabilities must be made available to the instructor
prior to the first assessment experience. If For additional information, contact the UNCG
Office of Disability Services, 336-334-5540 or ods@uncg.edu.
18. Learning Assistance Center (159 Reynolds Hall)
The Learning Assistance Center (LAC) provides services to help undergraduates improve their
academic performance and achieve their educational goals. Free services for all undergraduate
students include: peer tutoring in most 100- and 200-level courses, along with a select few
300- and 400-level courses, skills assessment, workshops, learning skills instruction, and
learning skills handouts. For further information about the support services available through
the LAC, call 336/334-3878, or visit the Web site at http://success.uncg.edu/lac.
19. Cell phones, laptops, and texting devices:
a. At the beginning of every class, ALL cell phones, texting devices, and any other type of
handheld device that allows you to send/receive messages must be turned off and placed
out of sight.
b. You may use your laptop during class. Given the complex nature and volume of material we
will cover this semester, you are encouraged to use your laptop to take notes during class
time. Use of a laptop for non-academic purposes such as sending/receiving email or visiting
social networking websites (i.e., Facebook, Twitter, etc) is strongly discouraged because it
will interfere with your ability to do well in this course.
c. Anyone who uses a cell phone, texting device, laptop, or any type of handheld device that
allows you to send/receive messages during an exam will receive a grade of 0 for that
particular assessment.
20. Disruptive behavior in the classroom and disruptive conduct:
Instructors may withdraw students from a course for behavior that is deemed by the
instructors to be disruptive to the class. The grade assigned will be "W" if the behavior
occurs before the deadline for dropping a course without academic penalty, and instructors
have the option of giving a "W" or "WF" if the behavior occurs after the deadline. The
complete policy on "Disruptive Behavior in the Classroom" is included on the Policies for
Students Web Page. The website address is:
http://deanofstudents.uncg.edu/policy/disruptive.pdf
21. Tips for doing well in this class.
1. Review your notes daily. Keep your notes organized in a binder. Add relevant pictures and
other resources that you find to your binder.
2. Ask questions in class.
3. Keep up with your reading.
4. Form study groups and meet regularly. It is a good idea to compare notes to see if you have
missed any information.
5. Visit the websites listed in this syllabus regularly. Use the practice exams and tutorials
they provide. Google (www.google.com) is a good resource for locating other anatomy and
physiology websites on line that can offer additional practice.
6. In the past, some students have found coloring the structures to be helpful. Here is one
example of the many pages you can find online by doing a search at www.google.com :
Example Anatomy Coloring Pages
7. My graduate assistant will be setting up a review group. Please keep in mind that she will
not re-teach the course information in the event that you miss a class. Her role is to review
and answer any questions you might have.
8. Make an appointment to discuss material with me during my office hours. I am always happy
to answer questions, but will not re-teach material if you have missed class.
