Method of Instruction For All Courses: (P. SCI & Phil courses):
This class would be taught primarily by lectures, which is only meant to highlight some of the important points of the course from the textbook. However, it is the responsibility of every student to read the textbook, in conjunction with notes from my lectures. As matured students you are, you are expected to have read each of the chapter(s) to be covered in class every week, before the topic is even introduced. Some of the topics would be taught by the use of videos, which would present the very same points explained in the textbook, and when a video is utilized to cover a topic in the textbook as outlined in this syllabus, no further lectures would be given, as a way to repeat the topic, because it would have been considered covered. I would from time to time, during each video presentation, be highlighting and explaining important aspects of the video and textbook/course materials. Please be sure to listen, and take notes, during lectures, and video presentations. If for any reason, you missed class, either during a lecture or when a video is shown in class, be sure to ask your fellow student to assist you, and possibly get a note from another student –this is your responsibility. Furthermore, lectures would be delivered through a variety of methods: traditional and non-traditional instructional delivery systems, and I would utilize current and evolving instructional and academic technologies, such as the Internet, PowerPoint lecture slides, video presentation, etc.
Respect for other opinion/perspective during debates and class discussion is very important, not only to me, but also to create a learning atmosphere. I am asking that you individually and collectively exhibit an understanding and sensitivity of the diverse academic, social, economic, cultural, disability and ethnic backgrounds of the students in this class. On my part, I will do everything humanly possible to modify my instructional methods and strategies so as to meet the needs of the diverse student body in this class, who possibly come from different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.
GENERAL EXPECTATIONS FROM ALL STUDENTS IN MY CLASS
- To actively participate in class discussions, respecting other student’s opinion(s) and viewpoint(s) without being overly critical
- To read the weekly assigned reading prior to my introducing each week’s topic in class
- To avoid side-talk, chewing gum or other activities that could potentially distract the instructor and/or your fellow students from concentrating
- To seek assistance from the student’s services ahead of time, if you have disability and need help of any kind. Please know that help is available; please call the coordinator of Disability Support Services at 253-833-9111, extension 2631 for information and assistance. I want to assure you that your privacy will be properly protected.
- To answer question when and if only asked specifically and directly
- To know the test dates, and be punctual on test day(s), because there would be no makeup test for any student, except for certain conditions/situations, such Doctor’s appointments, death in the family, etc.
- There will be no extra point or credit paper and/or retake of any test that you unduly missed, i.e. without prior arrangement with the instructor. Hardly will I permit you to miss a test on a days and date already established in this syllabus
- To always turn-off your cell phones, and if by mistake it rings, please do not answer it, because I expect that you would then turn it off immediately
- To sign attendance roster every lecture (class) day. Note that, it is purely your responsibility to make sure you personally sign the attendance roster, which would be circulated five minutes to the end of the class. Be aware that your failure to sign-in would mean that you did not attend class on that day. If for any reason you failed to show up for up to 25% of the totality of fall quarter required class attendance, I would have considered you withdrawn from the course, and you would at the end of the quarter see in your result, “unofficial withdrawal” grade
- I would not entertain early departure from the class; however, late arrival that is not more than 5 minutes would only be tolerated.
- Eating food (except drinks) in the classroom is prohibited, please take note of this policy
