Final Exam: 100 Points
You will have an online final exam to complete on final exam week. Your final exam consists of reflection and
synthesis of the course. More information will follow.
Attendance/Participation: 220 Points
Each class session is worth 20 points. If you are absent, you cannot participate and so cannot earn
attendance/participation points, therefore 20 points will be subtracted for every absence (EXCUSED OR
UNEXCUSED). Reflection Log must be filled at the end of each session in order to receive attendance
credit.
Excused absences are supported by ONLY medical documentation, UNLESS university sanctioned. Must
include date/time of visit. Only original documents will be accepted. No electronic submissions.
3 points will be subtracted to daily attendance grade for each partial absence of 15 or more minutes due to
arriving late (includes breaks) or leaving early.
If due to unusual circumstances such as an extended illness or unexpected work responsibilities, the student
misses more than two sessions, he/she should contact the instructor to see if additional makeup assignments
can be obtained and completed.
Please inform me in advance of any excused absences you may have in compliance with the University of
North Texas Dallas.
Preparedness for class: Since this class will be conducted like a workshop/seminar, it is essential that you keep up
with the reading. (Note- readings for each week as listed on the weekly schedule must be complete by the time class
begins on Tuesdays) We will also have in-class assignments and projects that will be included in the participation
grade such as discussions, collaboration exercises, text questions, etc.
NOTE: Your participation grade will lower if you are engaged in activities/discussions unrelated to the topic
at hand, and/or your use of technologies in excess are observed. A one-time warning will be issues;
afterward, point reduction for class participations will be warranted.
Late Work Policy: Assignment submission time and dates are included in the schedule. Late assignments will be
reduced by 50% of the points assigned or at the discretion of the instructor. NO EXCEPTIONS. I am confident that
you will not delay turning in assignments.
Grading Scale: Total possible points: 2920
A (2920-2628) B (2627-2336) C (2335-2044) D (2043-1752) F (menos de 1752)

accommodations at any time, however, DSO notices of accommodation should be provided as early as possible
in the semester to avoid any delay in implementation. Note that students must obtain a new letter of
accommodation for every semester and must meet/communicate with each faculty member prior to
implementation in each class. Students are strongly encouraged to deliver letters of accommodation during
faculty office hours or by appointment. Faculty members have the authority to ask students to discuss such
letters during their designated office hours to protect the privacy of the student. For additional information see

how this class is taught. I am very interested in the feedback I get from students, as I work to continually
improve my teaching. I consider students’ evaluations to be an important part of your participation in this class.
Assignment Policy: APA style is required for all writing assignments. Refer to the 6th edition for additional
information as it is a requirement in the School of Education. All major writing assignments will require APA
style.
Students are expected to pay attention to detail in their writing assignments, projects, and presentations.

Academic integrity is a hallmark of higher education. You are expected to abide by the University’s code of
Academic Integrity policy. Any person suspected of academic dishonesty (i.e., cheating or plagiarism) will be

submitting to Turnitin, please remove your title page and other personal information.
Classroom Policies
Attendance and Participation:
The University attendance policy is in effect for this course. Participation is expected because the class is
designed as a shared learning experience, and because essential information not in the textbook will be
discussed. Participation in all class discussions is essential to the integration of course material and your ability
to demonstrate proficiency.
Attendance for this course will be taken at the beginning of class. To maintain financial aid award eligibility,
activity must occur before the census date of the session or term of the course. Refer to
http://www.untdallas.edu/registrar for specific dates. If you are absent/not active in the course, it is YOUR
responsibility to let the instructor know immediately, upon your return, the reason for your absence if it is to be
excused. Also, it is your responsibility to obtain any notes or information missed from a classmate. All
instructors must follow university policy 7.005 covering excused absences; however, it is the instructor’s
discretion, as outlined in the course syllabus, of how unexcused absences may or may not count against
successful completion of the course.
Deadlines and Incompletes: Please be mindful of University deadlines for dropping and withdrawing from
classes. Also, in order for me to consider giving an INCOMPLETE for this course, you must be passing it, and
you must present documentation of extenuating circumstances that have prevented you from completing your
obligations for this course. If these two conditions do not apply, please do not ask for an Incomplete Grade.
Inclement Weather: Because all assignments are posted on the Canvas page for this face-to-face course, due
dates are not affected by campus closures due to inclement weather. Unless otherwise notified by your instructor
via e-mail, online messaging, or online announcement, students should assume that assignments are due as
scheduled.
Online “Netiquette:
In any social interaction, certain rules of etiquette are expected and contribute to more enjoyable and productive
communication. Emails, Discussion Board messages and/or any other forms of written communication in the
online environment should use proper “netiquette” (i.e., no writing in all caps (usually denotes yelling), no curse
words, and no “flaming” messages (angry, personal attacks).
Racial, ethnic, or gender slurs will not be tolerated, nor will pornography of any kind.
Any violation of online netiquette may result in a loss of points or removal from the course and referral to the
Dean of Students, including warnings and other sanctions in accordance with the University’s policies and
procedures. Refer to the Student Code of Student Rights Responsibilities and Conduct at
http://www.untdallas.edu/osa/policies. Respect is a given principle in all online communication. Therefore,
please be sure to proofread all of your written communication prior to submission.

Diversity/Tolerance Policy:
Students are encouraged to contribute their perspectives and insights to class discussions. However, offensive &
inappropriate language (swearing) and remarks offensive to others of particular nationalities, ethnic groups,
sexual preferences, religious groups, genders, or other ascribed statuses will not be tolerated. Disruptions which
violate the Code of Student Conduct will be referred to the Dean of Students as the instructor deems
appropriate.
NO CHILDREN ARE ALLOWED IN CLASS. Students with children are expected to make the appropriate
arrangements for childcare prior to the start of the semester. Students are not to leave their children on the UNT
Dallas campus unattended. Children may attend class only if the assignment or activities pertain to a particular
chapter from the text or to provide supporting information and hands on practice. The instructor will inform the
class ahead of time when such an activity will take place.
In case of an illness (family, personal or child), an excused absence will apply. Receiving medical treatment at
a medical clinic or emergency room or attending a family funeral, an announcement or obituary and medical
document from a clinic, hospital and or physician’s office will be required. Information must be presented on
letterhead.
Technology and Software Requirements: In order to successfully access the materials on Canvas, UNT
Dallas advises that your computer be equipped with the minimum system requirements. Written assignments
