VPAA: Revised 9/11, 1/15, 11/16

PSY 2012 INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY INTELLECTUAL HONESTY: Do not represent someone else’s work as your own. Bear in mind that plagiarism, even when unintentional, is a serious offense with dire consequences that could result in a zero for your submitted work, failure of a course, etc. depending on the severity of the offence. TEXTBOOK: You must have a copy of the eTextbook to complete tasks in this class. There is no cost for the book. It is free and embedded in the course. See information in Section IX on how to obtain/download a copy of the eText. CLASS PARTICIPATION: This will not always be a lecture-based course. Your success depends upon your informed participation in our class discussions and other activities. For each class there will be structured class activity that will be completed either individually or in a group format. I expect you to come to the class prepared to seriously and respectfully engage with each other and each other’s work. COMPLETE ALL THE ASSIGNED READINGS for a given day/Module as well as you can. Bring questions. We will not be able to discuss all the reading but you are responsible for all of it. LATE POLICY: Essays and other reading and writing assignments are due on the scheduled due date. Please see the schedule below. Assignments/Discussions will be graded down one letter grade for each day they are late and unexcused. Failure to take the quizzes by the due date will result in a zero. Tasks for which students obtained permission to be late are exempt from this rule once the new deadline is met. If you are unable to take the scheduled Final Exam due to an emergency (e. g. hospitalization), a doctor’s note will be required within 48 hours to generate a request for a make-up exam. That note should be provided within 24 hours of your hospitalization or emergency. Absolutely no work will be accepted after the last day of official classes. After two weeks of non-submission without an excuse, the unexcused work will be assigned a grade of zero. COMPUTER OR PRINTER PROBLEMS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AS EXCUSES FOR LATE WORK. Always make copies of your work and save them until the term is over. Print out drafts of your work as you go. Computer or printer problems will not be accepted as excuses for late work; if your printer doesn’t work, email your assignment to yourself as an attachment and then print from one of the computer labs, e.g. the library. Leave yourself enough time to recover from printer problems. Back up your work. Please put your name and page # in the Header, use standard font and margins, and double-space each paragraph. IN THE CLASSROOM, mature conduct is, of course, expected at all times. Repeated inappropriate behavior during the Zoom session will result in the student being removed without later re-admission to the Zoom session. Here are a few suggestions on how to contribute to class discussions. • Offer your perspective on a topic, even if you think it differs from “everyone else’s.” • Refer to passages in the text, providing page number, place on the page, in the paragraph beginning with __x__. Read the whole sentence (or more to provide context) that leads into the point that interests you. SOCIAL DISTANCING Students must follow the social distancing guidelines as elaborated by FSW/the faculty to include following any and all directions for seating and moving around the classroom. Properly worn face coverings (shielding nose and mouth) are recommended in classrooms. Social distancing, face coverings and good hygiene (specifically hand washing) are critical elements for safety of all. Students enrolled in VPAA: Revised 9/11, 1/15, 11/16

PSY 2012 INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY classes where close contact between persons is likely may have additional Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements on campus and in clinical sites as elaborated by the course instructors. Absolutely no eating or drinking is permitted in the classrooms. The College is committed to making reasonable modifications to its rules, policies, and practices as required by law to afford individuals with disabilities equal opportunity to access its programs, services, and

VII.

ATTENDANCE POLICY: ATTENDANCE is crucial to this course. Class participation is a part of your overall grading and I will be tracking the weekly attendance. When you are ill, please send me an email within 24 hours of your absence and let me know that you will not be in class (or send me an email soon after you are well enough to do so). You may miss up to three classes for illness or other emergencies. Each additional absence, however, will reduce your assignment/task grade by 3 points. If you are absent, you are still responsible for knowing the material and for turning in any assignments for that day. I recommend that you exchange phone numbers with several classmates so that you can keep up. (The College policy on attendance is in the Catalog, and defers to the professor).
