Course Policies
Student Responsibilities- Students will be expected to be prepared for class; this includes completion of
assigned readings and the turning in of assignments on time. Students are also expected to use the
UTB/TSC Blackboard system as a means for correspondence between the instructor and the student. The
instructor will provide class information via the Blackboard system. The student is responsible for
making sure he/she has gotten the class information necessary.
Professionalism – Students are expected to act in a professional manner at all times and in all situations
regarding the course. This includes the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Attending all class sessions, unless one is ill or dealing with a family emergency.
Being in class on time.
Not leaving class early.
Being properly dressed for all activity sessions.
Refraining from texting or chatting via computer or cell phone. Please keep all electronic devices in
either silent mode or turned off. This includes cell phones, pagers, lap top computers (unless you
are taking notes), personal game systems, and personal music players. If you must keep your cell
phone on, please put it on vibrate. If you are expecting a call due to a family emergency, please sit
near the rear of the class and only answer the phone once outside the room.
6. When communicating by email, be sure to include the course number in the subject line.
Attendance – Attendance will be taken each class period.
Absences – Class attendance and participation is a critical component of this course. Quizzes will be
given during class randomly throughout the semester. Quizzes cannot be made up, but one quiz grade
will be dropped from the student’s final quiz average. Each UNEXCUSED absence during the teaching labs
will result in a five point deduction from the student’s final average. An absence will only be considered
excused if you are ill, a member of your immediate family is ill, you have a death in the family, or you are
conducting official university business as part of UTB/TSC sponsored student organization. Additionally,
missing class due to employment conflicts will not be considered an excused abscess.
INSTITUTIONAL POLICIES
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS
UTB/TSC monitors academic progress every fall and spring semesters to identify those students who are
experiencing difficulty with their courses. Satisfactory Academic Progress (Sap) is based upon two
components: GPA of 2.0 or higher and successful course completion of at least 70% of course work
attempted. Students remain in good standing with the university and Financial Aid when both criteria
are met. Students who do not maintain these required minimum standards will be placed on probation
or suspension as appropriate. The complete Satisfactory Academic Progress policy and the
Undergraduate Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid policy can be found in the current
Undergraduate catalog. For more information, please visit http://blue.utb.edu/vpaa/sap
SCHOLASTIC DISHONESTY
Students who engage in scholastic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary penalties, including the
possibility of failure in the course and expulsion from the University. Scholastic dishonesty includes but
is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion, submission for credit of any work or materials that are
KINE 3302 – Spring 2012
attributable in whole or in part to another person, taking an examination for another person, any act
designed to be unfair advantage to a student, or the attempt to commit such acts. Since scholastic
dishonesty harms the individual, all students and the integrity of the University, Policies on scholastic
dishonesty will be strictly enforce. (Board of Regents Rules and Regulations)
9
STUDENTS ACADEMIC RESPONSIBLILITIES
Students are expected to be diligent in their studies and attend class regularly and on time. Students are
responsible for all class work and assignments. On recommendation of the instructor concerned and
with the approval of the Dean, students may, at anytime, be dropped from course. This may result in a
“w” or “F” on the student’s permanent record.
EMERGENCY POLICY STATEMENT
In compliance with the Emergency UTB/TSC Academic continuity Program, academic course, partially or
entirely, will be made available on the MyUTBTSC Blackboard course management system. This allows
faculty members and students to continue their teaching and learning via MyUTBTSC Blackboard
http://myutbtscblacboard.com, in case the university shuts down as a result of a hurricane or any other
natural disaster.
The university will use MyUTBTSC Blackboard to post announcements notifying faculty members and
students of their responsibilities as a hurricane approaches our region. If the university is forced to shut
down, faculty will notify their course(s). To receive credit for a course, it is the student’s responsibility to
complete all requirements for that course. Failure to access course materials once reasonably possible
can result in a reduction of your overall grade in the class.
To facilitate the completion of class, most or all of the communication between students and the
institution, the instructor, and fellow classmates will take place using the features in your MyUTBTSC
Blackboard and UTB email system. Therefore, all students must use Scorpion Online to provide a current
email address. Students may update their email address by following the like titled “Validate your e-Mail
Account” in MyUTBTSC Blackboard Portal. In the event of a disaster, that disrupts normal operations, all
students and faculty must make every effort to access an internet-enabled computer as often as possible
to continue the learning process.
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA)
Students with disabilities, including learning disabilities, who wish to request accommodations in this
class, should notify the Disability Services Office early in the semester so that the appropriate
arrangements may be made. In accordance with federal law, a student requesting accommodations must
provide documentation of his/her disability to the Disability Services counselor. For more information,
visit Disability Services in the Lightner Center, call 956-882-7374, or e-mail [email protected].
