 Instructional Methodologies &  Evaluation Procedures

Throughout the semester, delivery of this course will be a combination of lecture, guest speakers, films, videos, and demonstrations.  There will be required readings and assignments plus student presentations.  

 Four tests (tentative) are scheduled for this course.  Three will be administered during the semester, and the fourth during the final examination period.  Tests will consist of multiple-choice, true/false, matching, short answers, and/or or essay questions.  Unless advance arrangements have been made, there will be no make-up tests.  Any missed tests will constitute a zero for that test.  There is no grade penalty for pre-approved make up tests.  

There will be one major research assignment and several small writing  assignments.  Information regarding expectations of student projects and presentations will be provided at the time the assignment is made. 

All written assignments will be evaluated for content (accuracy and completeness) and structure (grammar and punctuation).     Information regarding expectations, point value and due date of assignment/projects will be provided at the time the assignment is announced.   The following fixed percentage scale is used in determining the final  grade.

Grades will be based on the following:

The following fixed percentage scale is used in determining the final grade.

Percentage  

Letter Grade  

90 - 100%  

A

80 -  89%  

B

70 - 79%  

C

60 -  69%  

D

Below 60% 

F

The mid-term grade will be reflective of all evaluative components scheduled for completion up to and through mid-term week.  

Should a student's cumulative grade calculation fall near or on the borderline of two letter grades, the instructor will give consideration to that student's class attendance, class participation, effort, and attitude in determining the final grade assignment for the course.

Formula for calculating your grade:  ((Your homework points/Total homework points * .25) + (Your test points/Total test points * .75)) * 100 = your grade

Class Policies:

Academic Honesty Policy:  Ethical conduct is a requirement.  Cheating, plagiarism, or other forms of academic dishonesty including the acquisition without permission of tests or other academic material belonging to a member of the University faculty or staff, or the providing of one’s own work in hard copy or on disk to another student for the purpose of copying any portion is not allowed.

Disciplinary action as deemed appropriate by the instructor will result as a consequence to unethical conduct regarding completion of this course.  All the students are required to work independently in this class.  Any forms of cheating will result in a grade of F.  The following is a link to the University policy concerning academic honesty:  http://www.departments.dsu.edu/hr/newsite/policies/040500.htm

Student Behavioral Guidelines (Policies): 

Treat your classes as you would a desirable job.  The instructor is your team leader (supervisor), and your fellow students are co-workers.  All must work together to complete learning objectives.  You are expected to:  

Attendance:  Your attendance in class is expected.  Success in this class, and others, has been associated  directly with attendance and participation in class.

Exams:  Unless advance arrangements have been made, there will be no makeup exams except under unusual circumstances and only at the discretion of the instructor.  If an unusual set of circumstances does occur, it is the student's responsibility to contact the instructor to schedule the makeup exam.  Makeup exams must be taken as soon as possible upon return to school. There will be no penalties for pre-approved makeup examinations.  

Homework:  There will be several homework assignments during the semester.  If you turn in an assignment late, I may elect to not accept it, or apply penalties.   Be sure to save backup copies of any assignments submitted.

Cell Phones:  Cell phones are not allowed in this class.  If an extreme emergency exists where contacting you during class may be a necessity, have those contacting you call Susan Eykamp in E-Learning at (605)256-5049.  Susan will see that you get the message immediately.

No Food or Drink:  As the etching on the window states, there is no food or drink   permitted in the classroom.  This policy is enforced with the exception of having covered drinks.

E-mail:  Students are required to use their Pluto email accounts in order to receive messages from the university, which includes messages regarding the HIM Program.  No other accounts like hotmail, yahoo, etc. will be used. 

Reminder!  When sending email to you instructors, please remember to use professional language.  Such things as symbols, all lower/upper case, no punctuation, etc. are not acceptable standards for communicating in a professional manner.

Must earn a 'C':  Students must earn at least a “C” or they will be required to repeat the course in order to be admitted to the HIA program.  If a student receives less than a “C” in this course, he/she  may not do subsequent professional practice experiences or practicum(s).  No student may graduate or write the national certification exam with less than a “C” in this course.  

Use of Tablets in the Classroom (formerly called the WMCI Statement):  The Tablet PC platform has been adopted across the DSU campus for all students and faculty, and tablet usage has been integrated into all DSU classes to enhance the learning environment. Tablet usage for course-related activities, note taking, and research is allowed and encouraged by DSU instructors.  However, inappropriate and distracting use will not be tolerated in the classroom.  Instructors set policy for individual classes and are responsible for informing students of class-specific expectations relative to Tablet PC usage. Failure to follow the instructor’s guidelines will hinder academic performance and may lead to disciplinary actions. Continued abuse may lead to increased tablet restrictions for the entire class.  Examples of misuse of the tablet computer in class include, but are not limited to, are:  instant messaging, other emailing, surfing the web, game playing, etc.

Because tablet technology is an integral part of this course, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that his/her Tablet PC is operational prior to the beginning of each class period. 

Freedom in Learning Statement:  Students are responsible for learning the content of any course of study in which they are enrolled. Under Board of Regents and University policy, student academic performance shall be evaluated solely on an academic basis and students should be free to take reasoned exception to the data or views offered in any course of study.  It has always been the policy of Dakota State University to allow students to appeal the decisions of faculty, administrative, and staff members and the decisions of institutional committees.  Students who believe that an academic evaluation is unrelated to academic standards but is related instead to judgment of their personal opinion or conduct should contact the dean of the college which offers the class to initiate a review of the evaluation.

Early Alert:  We have an early alert system at DSU.  If you do not attend class, have a disruptive class behavior, or are not performing well, your instructor will 'alert' student services.  The staff in student services will contact you to advise you on methodologies that will improve your classroom status.

Please Note:  By registering for this class, you have agreed to be video graphed as a student in the class.  The video tapes will be protected by password to enter WebCT OR for internal training operations.

For Internet Students:  Internet students proceed through the same course of study as the on campus and DDN students, but are directed and assisted by computer technology.  One of which is watching video-graphs of the class.  You will find it very difficult to watch the videos without the use of high-speed internet with a high broad-band width.  Examples of high-speed internet include:  wireless, cable, or a dedicated line service.  Dial-up service is not a recommended method of internet delivery when watching videos, which is an integral part of the class.  Mastery of the course content is based on achieving the same competencies and benchmarks as the on campus and DDN students and in the same time-frame.
