Emory College of Arts and Sciences PACE 101 - Pre -major Advising and Connections at Emory: Fall 2019

PACE 101 is a required course for all first-year students during their first semester at Emory. This course is worth one academic credit and introduces students to critical Emory College policies and procedures as well as academic and extracurricular opportunities on and off campus. The PACE 101 course has three overarching goals and learning outcomes: 1. Emory Community Development: Students form connections with faculty, staff, and peers, and establish relationships that will support their academic and social goals. 2. Personal Development: Students learn to take ownership of their own learning experience and begin to develop greater self-understanding . 3. Practical Knowledge: Students will gain the skills to navigate life as a college-level student, maximizing their personal and Emory community development.

Course Materials Canvas The PACE 101 homepage in Canvas gives students access to all of the course requirements and resources. Students are responsible for reviewing the Canvas site to locate the course syllabus, weekly PowerPoint presentations and assignments including: online modules/activities, out-of-class activities schedule and reflection forms, and other posted resources. Student Workbook Every student will receive a PACE 101 Workbook at the first class meeting. Students are expected to bring the workbook to class each week in order to participate in reflection, exploration and planning activities. A PDF version of the workbook will be available in the Canvas site. Surveys Links Students will be asked to complete three surveys throughout the fall semester. Students will receive a unique email link for each survey. Students MAY NOT forward their survey links as they are tied to their student ID numbers. If the email or personal link is lost, a web link to the survey will be available in the Canvas site. Attendance: 125 Points (25 mandatory points and 100 flex points) Weekly Attendance PACE Classes meet once a week (Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays) from August 28- November 22. Students are expected to attend each week of PACE 101. All students should attend a PACE 101 section the first week of class, regardless of students' schedules.  Attendance in Weeks 2-12 are worth 10 points each (up to 100 points) and are included in flex points  Attendance in Week 13 is worth 25 points and is mandatory Absences Students may miss up to 30 total points. As each class attendance weeks 2-12 is worth 10 points, students may miss up to three classes (depending on completion of other assignments). If a student misses class, it is expected that they communicate with their Facilitator as soon as they know they will be missing class (ahead of time is preferred, but within 24 hours of class meeting time if prior notification is not permissible). There is no make-up for missed classes, but students are expected to review class material in Canvas. Student-Athletes Student-athletes with practices or games conflicting with the PACE 101 course are advised to change PACE 101 sections. If there is a problem with switching sections, speak with your PACE Facilitator as soon as possible. If your practices/game schedule causes you to miss more than three classes, you need to swap sections. This should be handled before the end of Add/Drop/Swap. If you need assistance finding a section that meets your practice/game needs, please contact Tina McDowell immediately: [email protected]
