Course Standards
1.
Assignments are due at the beginning of the class period on the
date due. In an exceptional circumstance you may petition to
submit an assignment late. If granted, the grade will be reduced
one letter grade per day late.
2.
Out-of-class writing will be prepared using a word processor
and properly formatted in a business-like manner.
3.
Correct grammar (usage, spelling, and punctuation) is the standard
requirement for technical communication. It is assumed that you
know the mechanics of writing and this will not be the focus
of this course. Therefore, errors will count in class, just as
they do in the business world.
4.
Attendance is required due to the large amount of in-class work
and team activities we will be doing. You can't "make up" experiential
learning. Therefore, if you must miss a class, please notify
me in advance and bring a memo of explanation with you when you
return to class. Each absence above 3 unexcused absences
will result in a loss of 10 points off the final grade. It
is especially important that you be present when your classmates
give peer reviews and oral presentations, since you will be giving
written feedback.
5.
You are encouraged to schedule a conference at any point that
you need it. If you need to see me outside of class, catch me
after class to schedule a time.
6.
Students bear the sole responsibility for ensuring that papers
or assignments submitted electronically to a professor are received
in a timely manner and in the electronic format(s) specified
by the professor.
7.
Out of courtesy for all those participating in the learning experience,
all cell phones and pagers must be turned off before entering
the classroom.
8.
The honor code provisions as outlined in the Bulletin and in
the student handbook, The Lair, will be assumed for everyone.
It should be clear from class discussion which projects will
be collaborative and which ones must be individual. When in doubt,
please ask to avoid potentially embarrassing situations.
9.
Students with a documented disability should inform the instructor
at the close of the first class meeting. The instructor will
refer you to the office of Student Support Services (SSS) for
consultation regarding evaluation, documentation of your disability,
and recommendations for accomodation, if needed. Students will
receive from SSS the Faculty Accomodation Form. On this form,
SSS will identify reasonable accommodations for this class. The
form must be given to the course instructor for signature and
then returned to SSS. To take full advantage of disability services,
it is recommended that students contact the Office of Student
Support Services immediately. This office is located on the third
floor of the Connell Student Center.
