Classroom Sections: More than 4 class absences without medical documentation produces one letter grade loss at the end of the term. Internet Sections: More than two weeks of inactivity without medical documentation produces one letter grade loss at the end of the term Check In Responsibility You are required to log into the course at least one (1) time per week. Students are responsible for assignments and any changes in assignments, test and project submission deadlines, etc. that may be announced in our system. Check the homepage in the system and email in our system for announcements. Title IV Federal Repayment You must attend class through 60% of the term. FAILURE to do so may require you to repay all or a portion of your Title IV Financial Aid (Pell, SEOG, Stafford Loan) to the Federal Government and/or PHCC. Writing Requirements This course requires a 1,000-word writing project as a Gordon Rule requirement; therefore, no student may pass this course without completion of this writing requirement regardless of test or project grades. For this course, you must earn a minimum of 60% of the total points possible in the Gordon Rule writing assignment, and if you are using this course to satisfy the Gordon Rule requirement, you must pass with a grade of "C" or higher (in this course the minimum “C” is 70%). Details for this course are found in the Course Instructions link. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. It is imperative that you learn proper paraphrasing and use of quotes in your writings. At the discretion of the instructor, the student may be asked to defend the writing orally and produce documentation of specific information, personal notes and draft writings. Should charges stand, a grade of “F” will be issued for the course, regardless of other test or project grades. SACS Exit Exam The Southern Association of Colleges is piloting some courses for an exit exam. While this course is not one of them, I have decided to use a short exit exam similar to the pilot courses, in place of a lengthy final exam, to be consistent in my courses. This exam will count as 5% of your grade in this course. GRADING Grades are reported to you, as raw scores (number correct). You can easily keep a percent calculation of your progress by dividing your points by the total possible points attempted. The final points collected are divided by the total possible in the course for a final percent/ letter grade. Assignments Brief Description Possible Points Quizzes Take all 16 quizzes. Top 10 will be counted at 0-20 points possible per quiz. 200 pts 50% of grade Discussions Participate in the online discussion forum on 2 out of 5 posted topics 0-40 points possible per topic 80 pts 20% of grade Film Analysis An analysis that makes use of sociological theory and terms 100 pts 25% of grade Exit Exam The quiz is required. 0-20 points possible. The quiz has 1-2 questions from each topic chapter. 20 pts 5% of grade Total Possible Points 400 GRADING SCALE Percent Letter Grade Point Range 90% A 360-400 80% B 320-359 70% C 280-319 60% D 240=279 BELOW 60% F 239 OR BELOW Syllabus Requirements and Project Due Dates The professor reserves the right to make changes/adjustments in the course schedule as necessary to aid the proper flow of the class, otherwise expect dates and assignments to remain as shown. It is the student’s responsibility to remain aware of any changes that may be announced in class or within the System environment. Grade Reporting Grade reports are on the web site: www.facts.org PROFESSOR NOTES Professor/Student Communication The professor will maintain consistent communications online within the system through the course email Monday through Friday and on weekends, depending on travel responsibilities and internet connection availability. It is difficult to predict how fast, but at the very least, I will generally be able to respond to emails within 24 hours during weekdays and within 48 hours on weekend communiqués. That said, I have an excellent reputation for quick reply. There may be times when clerical/technical-types of errors occur within quizzes from the publisher. Please notify the professor immediately of any such possible problems and the professor will happily be responsive to your question or concern. The expectation is that all communications will be written with proper decorum and due respect. Rudeness is not tolerated just because we have not met one another in person. This is a professional and collegial environment. Due Dates of all course activities: Due dates are posted in the course schedule link. There are no ‘make up’ dates. Equity statement I wish you to have every opportunity to learn and participate in this class. Therefore, if you have any hearing, visual, motor limitations, or special needs of any kind, please let me know. I will make every effort possible to facilitate your learning. SKYPE I make use of SKYPE for live online communications. This is an optional potential; it is NOT required. My SKYPE name is: globalprofessor. If you are not familiar with SKYPE and want to know more, see the document titled SKYPE under the Content tab on our homepage. PHCC POLICY NOTES Withdrawal, Audit, Incomplete Information on the deadlines, processes for request, and action steps for withdrawal, audit or incomplete requests are available in Student Development offices.
