Additional Optional Texts
Professional dispositions are
behaviors valued in the education profession.
Students need to demonstrate commitment, honesty, respect,
and responsibility, in addition to gaining the skills and
knowledge needed to become a highly qualified
educator. Your disposition in this class is
important. Be the kind of student you would like to
teach when you are out in the field. Show up every
day on time, be enthusiastic, work hard, help others, and
set a high achievement standard for yourself in all
assignments. These are dispositions you should be
teaching to your future pupils and this class will help
you begin to formulate ways to do that. The dispositional
categories (noted in bold), which include class policies,
are assessed throughout the semester and with each
assignment.
Students who
demonstrate a pattern of class lateness, absences, late
assignment submissions, inappropriate dress, or
disrespect ( any combination of these, totaling three)
will attend a conference with me to discuss
remediation. If any of these behaviors continues
after the conference, the student will be required to
attend a meeting of the Department of Health and
Exercise Science Student Issues Committee to determine
the appropriate consequences.
§
Attendance
(100
points). Attendance is
required. Students should be in the classroom and
ready to begin promptly at the scheduled class time.
10 points will be deducted for each absence.
Students who arrive after attendance is taken are
considered late and will lose 3 points. Students are
expected to attend the entire class session and 3 points
will be deducted if a student leaves before the end of the
class session. Students will begin the semester with
110 attendance points, which includes one “free” absence
(10 points). A student can use this “free” absence
and reduce their attendance point total to 100, which is
the amount used to calculate the grade percentage.
If a student does not use the “free” absence, they will
retain the 10 “bonus” points for perfect attendance.
The student should wisely use this absence because they
may need it if they are sick or unable to attend a
class. I do not review excuses such as doctor’s
notes – if you are absent, you are absent. I will
respond to individual exceptions only under extenuating
circumstances. When a student is absent, she or he
is expected to take responsibility for making arrangements
to acquire all materials and information covered during
the absence.
§ Class Participation. Students should demonstrate an enthusiasm for learning by remaining focused during class, actively participating in all class activities, and contributing to class discussions. Students are also expected to demonstrate respect for the professor, guest speakers, and peers by listening to other points of view and responding appropriately. Three points will be deducted from the attendance points for students who are disrespectful to the professor or peers during a class session, sleep during class, or do not actively engage in the physical activities presented in class. Cell phones must be turned off and not used during class.
o
Academic Honesty – Cheating and Plagiarism.
Students are expected to abide by the University policies on academic honesty and
integrity. Cheating on an exam or quiz or
copying the work of a peer on an assignment will result in
a zero. Submit your own work. In addition, when
completing an assignment, you must reference/cite all
information you use related to a resource. Resources
include: books, articles, curriculum guides, online
information, emails, printed or taped interviews, DVD’s,
CD’s, videotapes, audiotapes, conference/convention
handouts, and student papers and assignments.
Assignments that include identified plagiarism will result
in a zero for the assignment. If cheating or
plagiarism are noted, the student will meet with the
professor and he or she will be required to meet with the
Department of Health and Exercise Science Student Issues
Committee to determine appropriate consequences.
o
Assignment
Responsibility. All assignments are
to be completed and submitted during class on the due
date. Assignments must submitted in hardcopy, email
assignments will not be accepted unless otherwise required.
Late assignments, those submitted after class but
on the due date by 12:15 pm will be considered on time.
Late assignments not turned on the due date will receive
a 50% point deduction, this does not include points that
may be deducted when the assignment is reviewed.
Late assignments not turned in during the class
immediately following the due date will not be accepted
and will receive 0 points for the assignment. - failure to submit the
Implementation assignment will result in a Course
failure. If you are absent on the
assignment date, you are required to email the
assignment to me by the beginning of your class on the
designated due date (to demonstrate that you have
completed the assignment) and you submit a hard copy
during the next class.
