learning and practicing how to read critically and take notes is critical in mastering the
material and doing well in this class. Download the Critical Reading, Thinking and
Writing Guide for reference. Keep a Journal of your note taking that you can turn into me
for the midterm and final exam for review and grading. You may use ten pages of notes
for the midterm and final.
Common Types of Disruptive Classroom Behavior that you may be penalized for:
• Grandstanding: Use the classroom for themselves by monopolizing class discussion,
speaking protractedly and bombastically on favorite subjects with no regard to relevancy to
the discussion.
• Sleeping in Class: While passively disruptive, it sends a message to the other students
about the quality of the class or teaching. It is disrespectful to the instructor and the other
students.
• Prolonged Chattering: Small cliques of 2-3 students who engage in private conversations
or pass notes to each other.
• Excessive Lateness: Students who not only come in late, but make an entrance speaking to
friends, walking in front of the professor, arranging their belongings.
• Noisy Electric Devices: Beepers and pagers going off in class or students talking on the
telephone during the class.
• Disputing the Instructor’s Authority or Expertise: Students may be disappointed or
frustrated over a grade and may debunk or devalue the instructor’s judgment, authority, and
expertise. This may take the form of comments in the class or memos to department chair or
dean.
If you display any of the above behavior I may ask you to leave the class for the day,
week, or permanently or deduct points or value from your final grade.
What to expect in Lecture: A combination of lecture, video and discussion
Make-up Policy: Unless you have pre-arranged an alternative test with me NO MAKE
UP EXAMS will be allowed after exams have been taken by the class unless PREARRANGED with me. Do Not Ask.
Academic Integrity: All students are expected to do the work for this course with
honesty and integrity. To do otherwise is to break one’s implicit contract with the
instructors or with one’s fellow and sister students. Accordingly, anyone who cheats on
an examination in any way or who submits work that is not wholly his or her own work
will fail this course in its entirety. I REALLY MEAN THIS!
(http://www.fullerton.edu/senate/PDF/300/UPS300-021.pdf );
Classroom Management: ELECTRONICS ARE PROHIBITED. If I find a student
using any kind of electronic device you will be asked to leave for the day, upon a third
classroom removal I will ask the Dean to intervene. Points will be deducted from your
participation grade as I decide is appropriate. If you are tardy or late to class I will also
deduct participation points at my discretion. IF YOU DO NOT ATTEND CLASS and
2
COMPLETE ASSIGNED COURSE WORK, YOU WILL NOT PASS. I will drop
students from class for excessive absences.
Reading and Writing Assignments: I expect students to complete readings BEFORE
the class for which I list them. You are responsible for summarizing and analyzing the
reading each week. You do not turn it in; rather, you use them to study for the exams.
Grading Papers/Exams: I will respond to e-mails during office hours and grade papers
once a week, I require a 2 week turnaround time to return papers back to you given my
workload. I may respond more frequently and get your papers back to you sooner but
you can expect me to be available and respond to your inquiries as explained above.
