COURSE POLICIES:
Attendance:
This course contains a great deal of material that is impossible to make up, so daily attendance is important. Attendance, preparedness and punctuality are considered as a part of your professional development. More than 3 absences will result in a reduction of your grade (e.g. A to A-). Late arrival/early departures will also affect your grade.
If you expect to miss a class period due to special conditions (e.g. religious holy days, participation in university events, and so on), let the instructor know within the first two weeks of class for the alternate arrangements for assignments.
* It is the studentfs responsibility to get information before the next class to catch up with the schedule if a class is missed.
Professional Development:
Teaching is a demanding field. It requires a professional ethic that embraces a rapid pace, challenging work, problem solving skills, and a willingness to go beyond minimum requirements. Research on pedagogy provides consensus on those teaching behaviors and characteristics that constitute excellence in the teaching profession.
They include the following:
1) adequate planning, organization, and evaluation of curricular programs,
2) good classroom management skills,
3) efficient use of instructional time,
4) knowledge of subject matter,
5) effective and useful communication; clarity of presentation,
6) appropriate evaluation of student learning.
