CLASS​ ​ACTIVITIES

Class​ ​activities​ ​will​ ​include:

1. Lecture​ ​and​ ​discussion​ ​to​ ​present​ ​specific​ ​information​ ​relative​ ​to​ ​course
topics.
2. Individual​ ​and​ ​small​ ​group​ ​work​ ​on​ ​assignments.
3. Individual​ ​and​ ​small​ ​group​ ​presentations​ ​by​ ​students​ ​with​ ​feedback​ ​from
students​ ​and​ ​professor.
4. Experiential​ ​team​ ​development​ ​activities.

Active​ ​Participation:

You​ ​will​ ​be​ ​evaluated​ ​by​ ​the​ ​quality​ ​of​ ​your​ ​responses,​ ​not​ ​the​ ​quantity.​ ​Your​ ​responses
must​ ​reflect​ ​your​ ​integration​ ​and​ ​synthesis​ ​of​ ​text​ ​readings,​ ​journal​ ​articles,​ ​guest
speakers,​ ​lectures,​ ​and​ ​so​ ​forth.​ ​Ask​ ​yourself​ ​these​ ​questions:
 1. Have​ ​I​ ​moved​ ​the​ ​discussion​ ​forward​ ​and​ ​contributed​ ​to​ ​the​ ​learning​ ​of​ ​the
group?
2. Have​ ​I​ ​supported​ ​participation​ ​of​ ​all​ ​members​ ​of​ ​the​ ​group?
3. Have​ ​I​ ​reflected​ ​upon​ ​the​ ​ideas​ ​generated​ ​in​ ​each​ ​class​ ​session?

Evaluation

Evaluation​ ​can​ ​take​ ​many​ ​forms:​ ​Conferences​ ​between​ ​teacher​ ​and​ ​student,
conversations​ ​with​ ​other​ ​students,​ ​comments​ ​on​ ​papers,​ ​exams,​ ​grades,​ ​etc.​ ​ ​Whatever
the​ ​extent​ ​to​ ​which​ ​these​ ​various​ ​forms​ ​are​ ​used​ ​(or​ ​not​ ​used);​ ​evaluation​ ​in​ ​the
academic​ ​environment​ ​is​ ​finally​ ​expressed​ ​in​ ​the​ ​form​ ​of​ ​a​ ​grade.

The​ ​grade​ ​you​ ​earn​ ​in​ ​LDT​ ​2015​ ​will​ ​be​ ​based​ ​on​ ​the​ ​following:

● Successful​ ​completion​ ​of​ ​Assignments​ ​1-6*:

Assignment​ ​1:​ ​10​ ​Points

Assignment​ ​2:​ ​10​ ​Points

Assignment​ ​3:​ ​25​ ​Points

Assignment​ ​4:​ ​25​ ​Points

Assignment​ ​5:​ ​10​ ​Points

Assignment​ ​6:​ ​10​ ​Points

● Participation​ ​in​ ​class​ ​discussions​ ​and​ ​experiential​ ​activities​ ​(10​ ​points)

Attendance​ ​is​ ​critical​ ​for​ ​these​ ​points.

*​ ​It​ ​is​ ​expected​ ​that​ ​the​ ​student​ ​will​ ​become​ ​versatile​ ​with​ ​the​ ​readings​ ​that​ ​are​ ​required
and​ ​recommended.​ ​Students​ ​will​ ​show​ ​evidence​ ​of​ ​their​ ​familiarity​ ​with​ ​the​ ​readings​ ​in
the​ ​completion​ ​of​ ​the​ ​course​ ​assignments.
Grading​ ​System

Final​ ​grades​ ​are​ ​available​ ​on​ ​the​ ​Academica​ ​web​ ​service​ ​(​http://a.wayne.edu​).​ ​Final

Concluding​ ​Thoughts
Class​ ​Policies​ ​And​ ​Procedures

1. All​ ​policies​ ​stated​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Wayne​ ​State​ ​University​ ​Undergraduate​ ​Bulletin​ ​will
be​ ​followed.​ ​You​ ​are​ ​particularly​ ​advised​ ​to​ ​familiarize​ ​yourself​ ​with​ ​the
General​ ​Information​ ​discussions,​ ​pp.​ ​5-65.​ ​Areas​ ​of​ ​particular​ ​interest​ ​to​ ​you
are​ ​these:
● Academic​ ​Programs​ ​and​ ​Degrees
● Financial​ ​Aid
● Academic​ ​Regulations
● Registration​ ​and​ ​Student​ ​Records
● Student​ ​Academic​ ​Success​ ​Services
● Office​ ​of​ ​International​ ​Programs
● Campus​ ​Life

1. If​ ​a​ ​class​ ​is​ ​missed​ ​because​ ​of​ ​illness​ ​or​ ​employment​ ​demands,​ ​please
contact​ ​the​ ​instructor​ ​by​ ​email​ ​in​ ​advance,​ ​if​ ​possible.​ ​Effective​ ​with​ ​the​ ​first
class​ ​session,​ ​students​ ​who​ ​miss​ ​more​ ​than​ ​2​ ​class​ ​sessions​ ​should​ ​not
expect​ ​to​ ​earn​ ​a​ ​grade​ ​of​ ​“A”.​ ​Attendance​ ​is​ ​recorded.

1. Absences​ ​must​ ​be​ ​made​ ​up.​ ​You​ ​will​ ​contract​ ​with​ ​the​ ​professor​ ​for
appropriate​ ​make​ ​up​ ​work.

1. Any​ ​handouts​ ​will​ ​be​ ​distributed​ ​on​ ​Blackboard.​ ​You​ ​are​ ​responsible​ ​for
checking​ ​the​ ​course​ ​site​ ​regularly​ ​for​ ​new​ ​content.

All​ ​written​ ​work​ ​must​ ​demonstrate​ ​appropriate​ ​communication​ ​skills​ ​(e.g.,​ ​spelling,
punctuation,​ ​grammar).
 1. All​ ​written​ ​work​ ​must​ ​meet​ ​scholarly​ ​standards​ ​as​ ​stated​ ​in​ ​the​ ​APA
Publication​ ​Manual,​ ​6​th​​ ​edition.​ ​(This​ ​reference​ ​will​ ​help​ ​you​ ​in​ ​ALL​ ​your​ ​LDT
courses​ ​leading​ ​to​ ​the​ ​BA​ ​or​ ​BS​ ​degree).

1. Recording​ ​devices​ ​are​ ​not​ ​permitted​ ​in​ ​class​ ​unless​ ​there​ ​is​ ​a​ ​documented
disability.

1. Learning​ ​Design​ ​and​ ​Technology​ ​students​ ​are​ ​expected​ ​to​ ​represent​ ​their
own​ ​work​ ​honestly​ ​and​ ​acknowledge​ ​the​ ​work​ ​of​ ​others​ ​according​ ​to
accepted​ ​academic​ ​conventions.​ ​Violations​ ​of​ ​academic​ ​integrity​ ​include
cheating​ ​and​ ​the​ ​use​ ​of​ ​unauthorized​ ​material​ ​on​ ​examinations,​ ​fabrication​ ​of
information​ ​and​ ​sources,​ ​improper​ ​assistance,​ ​and​ ​plagiarism.

Plagiarism​ ​includes​ ​copying​ ​material​ ​(any​ ​more​ ​than​ ​5​ ​consecutive​ ​words)​ ​from​ ​outside
texts​ ​or​ ​presenting​ ​outside​ ​information​ ​as​ ​if​ ​it​ ​were​ ​your​ ​own​ ​by​ ​not​ ​crediting​ ​authors
through​ ​citations.​ ​It​ ​can​ ​be​ ​deliberate​ ​or​ ​unintended.​ ​If​ ​you’re​ ​in​ ​doubt​ ​about​ ​the​ ​use​ ​of
a​ ​source,​ ​cite​ ​it.​ ​Students​ ​caught​ ​plagiarizing​ ​information​ ​from​ ​other​ ​sources​ ​will​ ​receive
a​ ​failing​ ​grade​ ​in​ ​the​ ​course.​ ​University​ ​policy​ ​states​ ​that​ ​students​ ​can​ ​be​ ​subject​ ​to
multiple​ ​sanctions,​ ​from​ ​reprimand​ ​references​ ​must​ ​be​ ​submitted​ ​with​ ​assignments.

1. Research​ ​shows​ ​that​ ​cooperative​ ​learning​ ​works.​ ​Students​ ​are​ ​expected​ ​to
be​ ​prepared​ ​for​ ​class​ ​by​ ​reading​ ​the​ ​assigned​ ​topics​ ​and​ ​by​ ​intelligently
discussing​ ​them.

1. Student​ ​Disability​ ​Services

If​ ​you​ ​have​ ​a​ ​documented​ ​disability​ ​that​ ​requires​ ​accommodations,​ ​you​ ​will​ ​need​ ​to
register​ ​with​ ​Student​ ​Disability​ ​Services​ ​(SDS)​ ​for​ ​coordination​ ​of​ ​your​ ​academic
accommodations.​ ​The​ ​Student​ ​Disability​ ​Services​ ​(SDS)​ ​office​ ​is​ ​located​ ​at​ ​1600​ ​David
Adamany​ ​Undergraduate​ ​Library​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Student​ ​Academic​ ​Success​ ​Services
department.​ ​SDS​ ​telephone​ ​number​ ​is​ ​(313)​ ​577-1851​ ​or​ ​(313)​ ​577-3365​ ​(TDD​ ​only).
Once​ ​you​ ​have​ ​your​ ​accommodations​ ​in​ ​place,​ ​I​ ​will​ ​be​ ​glad​ ​to​ ​meet​ ​with​ ​you​ ​privately
during​ ​my​ ​office​ ​hours​ ​to​ ​discuss​ ​your​ ​special​ ​needs.​ ​Student​ ​Disability​ ​Services’
mission​ ​is​ ​to​ ​assist​ ​the​ ​university​ ​in​ ​creating​ ​an​ ​accessible​ ​community​ ​where​ ​students
with​ ​disabilities​ ​have​ ​an​ ​equal​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​fully​ ​participate​ ​in​ ​their​ ​educational
experience​ ​at​ ​Wayne​ ​State​ ​University.

Please​ ​be​ ​aware​ ​that​ ​a​ ​delay​ ​in​ ​getting​ ​SDS​ ​accommodation​ ​letters​ ​for​ ​the​ ​current
semester​ ​may​ ​hinder​ ​the​ ​availability​ ​or​ ​facilitation​ ​of​ ​those​ ​accommodations​ ​in​ ​a​ ​timely
manner.​ ​Therefore,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​in​ ​your​ ​best​ ​interest​ ​to​ ​get​ ​your​ ​accommodation​ ​letters​ ​as​ ​early
in​ ​the​ ​semester​ ​as​ ​possible.

1. Withdrawal​ ​Policy:

Students​ ​who​ ​withdraw​ ​from​ ​a​ ​course​ ​after​ ​the​ ​end​ ​of​ ​the​ ​4​th​​ ​week​ ​of​ ​class​ ​will​ ​receive
a​ ​grade​ ​of​ ​WP,​ ​WF,​ ​or​ ​WN.

● WP​ ​will​ ​be​ ​awarded​ ​if​ ​the​ ​student​ ​is​ ​passing​ ​the​ ​course​ ​(based​ ​on​ ​work​ ​due
to​ ​date)​ ​at​ ​the​ ​time​ ​the​ ​withdrawal​ ​is​ ​requested.
● WF​ ​will​ ​be​ ​awarded​ ​if​ ​the​ ​student​ ​is​ ​failing​ ​the​ ​course​ ​(based​ ​on​ ​work​ ​due​ ​to
date)​ ​at​ ​the​ ​time​ ​the​ ​withdrawal​ ​is​ ​requested.
● WN​ ​will​ ​be​ ​awarded​ ​if​ ​no​ ​materials​ ​have​ ​been​ ​submitted,​ ​and​ ​so​ ​there​ ​is​ ​no
basis​ ​for​ ​a​ ​grade.

Students​ ​must​ ​submit​ ​their​ ​withdrawal​ ​request​ ​on-line​ ​through​ ​Pipeline.​ ​The​ ​faculty
member​ ​must​ ​approve​ ​the​ ​withdrawal​ ​request​ ​before​ ​it​ ​becomes​ ​final,​ ​and​ ​students
should​ ​continue​ ​to​ ​attend​ ​class​ ​until​ ​they​ ​receive​ ​notification​ ​via​ ​email​ ​that​ ​the
withdrawal​ ​has​ ​been​ ​approved.​ ​Withdrawals​ ​can​ ​be​ ​requested​ ​at​ ​any​ ​point​ ​from​ ​the​ ​fifth
week​ ​of​ ​class​ ​through​ ​the​ ​study​ ​day.

1. Religious​ ​Observance​ ​Policy

Because​ ​of​ ​the​ ​extraordinary

variety​ ​of​ ​religious​ ​affiliations
represented​ ​in​ ​the​ ​University
student​ ​body​ ​and​ ​staff,​ ​the​ ​Wayne
State​ ​University​ ​calendar​ ​makes
no​ ​provision​ ​for​ ​religious​ ​holidays.
It​ ​is​ ​University​ ​policy,​ ​however,​ ​to
respect​ ​the​ ​faith​ ​and​ ​religious
obligations​ ​of​ ​the​ ​individual.
Students​ ​who​ ​find​ ​that​ ​their
classes​ ​or​ ​examinations​ ​involve
conflicts​ ​with​ ​their​ ​religious
observances​ ​are​ ​expected​ ​to
notify​ ​their​ ​instructors​ ​well​ ​in
advance​ ​so​ ​that​ ​alternative
arrangements​ ​as​ ​suitable​ ​as
possible​ ​may​ ​be​ ​worked​ ​out.

1. Wayne​ ​State​ ​University​ ​Writing​ ​Center.

The​ ​Writing​ ​Center​ ​(2​nd​​ ​floor,​ ​UGL)​ ​provides​ ​individual​ ​tutoring​ ​consultations​ ​free​ ​of
charge​ ​for​ ​students​ ​at​ ​Wayne​ ​State​ ​University.​ ​While​ ​the​ ​center​ ​serves​ ​both​ ​graduate
and​ ​undergraduate​ ​students,​ ​undergraduate​ ​students​ ​in​ ​General​ ​Education​ ​courses,
including​ ​composition​ ​courses,​ ​receive​ ​priority​ ​for​ ​tutoring​ ​appointments.​ ​The​ ​Writing
Center​ ​serves​ ​as​ ​a​ ​resource​ ​for​ ​writers,​ ​providing​ ​tutoring​ ​sessions​ ​on​ ​the​ ​range​ ​of
activities​ ​in​ ​the​ ​writing​ ​process​ ​–​ ​considering​ ​the​ ​audience,​ ​analyzing​ ​the​ ​assignment​ ​or
genre,​ ​brainstorming,​ ​researching,​ ​writing​ ​drafts,​ ​revising,​ ​editing,​ ​and​ ​preparing
documentation.​ ​The​ ​Writing​ ​Center​ ​is​ ​not​ ​an​ ​editing​ ​or​ ​proofreading​ ​service;​ ​rather,
students​ ​are​ ​guided​ ​as​ ​they​ ​engage​ ​collaboratively​ ​in​ ​the​ ​process​ ​of​ ​academic​ ​writing,
from​ ​developing​ ​an​ ​idea​ ​to​ ​correctly​ ​citing​ ​sources.​ ​To​ ​make​ ​an​ ​appointment,​ ​consult
the​ ​Writing​ ​Center​ ​website:​ ​http://www.clas.wayne.edu/writing/​.

To​ ​submit​ ​material​ ​for​ ​online​ ​tutoring,​ ​consult​ ​the​ ​Writing​ ​Center​ ​HOOT​ ​website
(Hypertext​ ​One-on-One​ ​Tutoring)
http:///www.clas.wayne.edu/unit-inner.asp?WebPageID=1330​.

1. Grades​ ​will​ ​be​ ​determined​ ​by​ ​the​ ​work​ ​available​ ​to​ ​the​ ​instructor​ ​at​ ​the​ ​time
of​ ​the​ ​final​ ​examination.

CONSTRUCTING​ ​A​ ​CONCEPT​ ​MAP

A​ ​concept​ ​map​ ​presents​ ​the​ ​relationship​ ​among​ ​a​ ​set​ ​of​ ​connected​ ​concepts​ ​and
ideas.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​a​ ​tangible​ ​way​ ​to​ ​display​ ​how​ ​your​ ​mind​ ​“sees”​ ​a​ ​particular​ ​topic.​ ​By
constructing​ ​a​ ​concept​ ​map,​ ​you​ ​reflect​ ​on​ ​what​ ​you​ ​know​ ​and​ ​what​ ​you​ ​don’t​ ​know.
Concept​ ​maps​ ​are​ ​excellent​ ​tools​ ​for​ ​brainstorming​ ​and​ ​visualizing​ ​content.​ ​Your
concept​ ​map​ ​in​ ​image​ ​format​ ​must​ ​include​ ​major​ ​themes​ ​and​ ​sub​ ​themes​ ​of​ ​a​ ​topic.
You​ ​must​ ​also​ ​show​ ​clear​ ​indications​ ​for​ ​how​ ​each​ ​section​ ​interconnects​ ​and​ ​flows.
