Day: Tuesday Class

Location: Gildemeister 224 |
Course Objectives |
Course Expectations |
Attendance |
Attendance is required. An absence is defined as being
more than 5 minutes late. If you’re here, make sure you sign the attendance
sheet that gets passed around. If you are absent from 4 or more classes, you will
receive a “No Credit” grade. I do not distinguish between excused and
un-excused absences. If you are absent from 2 or 3 classes, you might be in
jeopardy of receiving a “No Credit” grade; see Grading section below. |
Modality |
(i) This course is designed to be an in-person course. For
as long as the University allows in-person classes, there is no guarantee
that required materials/content/assessments will be available to those who do
not attend class in person. (ii) Proper masking is required
at all times by all persons until the University Guidelines change.
However, I am not able to forcefully enforce this policy on your fellow
classmates. Flagrant unmasking will result in being reported to the Dean
after class. (iii) If you are unable to regularly attend class in person, I
strongly recommend that you either find a synonymous/transferable online
course or contact Access Services (access@winona.edu) to apply for special
consideration. |
Come to Class Prepared |
Come to class ready to participate, e.g., have your
assignments/activities completed and with you, have access to the text, etc.
You should also bring your laptop
to class. |
Assignments |
Assignments, when appropriate, should be turned in before
class on D2L. Late or missing assignments might cause you to be in jeopardy
of receiving a “No Credit” grade; see Grading section below. |
Class Participation |
You are expected to be engaged in class, e.g.,
contributing to the discussion, asking questions, keeping your eyes open and
focused on the speaker. Failure to do so might cause you to be in jeopardy of
receiving a “No Credit” grade; see Grading section below. |
Technology |
A part of being engaged is not being distracted. Only use
your laptops/cell phones when it is appropriate and, when doing so, stay
focused on the task at hand. If you have a personal issue and need to be
connected to someone outside of the room during class, please let me know
ASAP. |
Behavior |
You should behave in this class as you would in front of
your parents and/or your boss. You are allowed to disagree with others and
others are allowed to disagree with you. However, at all
times you should strive for civility and respect. |
Grading |
Minor Assignments |
Minor assignments, when appropriate, should be completed
and turned in on D2L before
the next class period. Late or missing assignments might cause you to be in
jeopardy of receiving a “No Credit” grade. Minor Assignments include:
|
||
Major Assignments |
There are 6 major assignments in this course. These
assignments are more involved than the minor assignments and will take more
effort to complete. Due dates are given on D2L. The Major Assignments are:

College Success Videos |

quizzes posted in D2L. You are required to have completed 15 of the 33 video

Academic Integrity Policy |
Academic Integrity at Winona State University is based on
honesty. The University requires that work produced by students represents
their personal efforts and requires that they properly acknowledge the
intellectual contributions of others.
WSU students are required to adhere to the University's
standards of academic integrity. Following are examples of behaviors considered
unacceptable and viewed as violations of the academic integrity policy:
Anyone violating the Academic Integrity Policy will receive
an F in the course and/or be
expelled from the University. For a
complete description, please refer to the University’s Academic Integrity
Policy: http://www.winona.edu/sld/academicintegrity.asp
Commitment to Inclusive Excellence |
WSU recognizes that our individual differences can deepen
our understanding of one another and the world around us, rather than divide
us. In this class, people of all ethnicities, genders and gender identities,
religions, ages, sexual orientations, disabilities, socioeconomic backgrounds,
regions, and nationalities are strongly encouraged to share their rich array of
perspectives and experiences. If you feel your differences may in some
way isolate you from WSU’s community or if you have a need of any specific
accommodations, please speak with the instructor early in the semester about
your concerns and what we can do together to help you become an active and
engaged member of our class and community.
