GRADING SCALE:

** A grade of 76 or below is considered a failing grade for all graduate courses. No D’s are given in graduate classes.

PROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR/DISPOSITIONS:

Students are responsible for all content and assignments for each class. They are expected to demonstrate professional behaviors consistent with the following dispositions:

• The belief that all students can learn.
• Value and respect for difference.
• Value of positive human interaction.
• Intellectual curiosity and willingness to learn new knowledge.
• A commitment to inquiry, reflection, and self-assessment.
• Value of responsible, collaborative, and cooperative work.
• Sensitivity to community and cultural context.
• Responsible and ethical practice.

ATTENDANCE:

Class attendance and punctuality are expected professional behaviors. Students are responsible for meeting the specific attendance requirements as outlined in the syllabus for each course. A student may receive a “WA/F” for excessive absences, based on the class attendance requirements specified in the syllabus.

MAKE-UP EXAMINATIONS AND QUIZZES:

If a quiz or examination (other than the final examination) was missed for a legitimate reason, as determined by the professor, the professor has the discretion to administer a make-up examination. It is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements for the make-up.

DUE DATES:

Due dates for course assignments, as well as scheduled quizzes and exams, are listed in the syllabus. Any changes will be announced in class. Consequences related to late materials are determined by the professor.

FINAL EXAMS:

The final exam for each course (which may be in the form of an examination, performance, or project) will only take place during the period scheduled for the final exam for that course. (Undergraduate students who have more than two final exams scheduled on the same day may arrange for an alternate time for one final exam through the Office of the Undergraduate Dean.) Graduate students have their own schedule and they need to go through the Graduate Dean for changes.

* Applies to all EDEE and EDFS courses and all PEHD teacher education courses above the 200 level.

PAPERS:

Papers will be word processed using the style of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (most current edition).

HONOR SYSTEM:

All courses in the School of Education are conducted under the Honor Code of the College of Charleston. The Honor Code specifically forbids lying, cheating, attempted cheating, stealing, attempted stealing and plagiarism. Students at the College are bound by honor and by their acceptance of admission to the College to abide by the Code and to report violations. As members of the College community, students are expected to evidence a high standard of personal conduct and to respect the rights of other students, faculty, staff members, community neighbors, and visitors on campus. Students are also expected to adhere to all federal, state, and local laws. Faculty members are required to report violations of the Honor Code or Code of Conduct to the Office of Student Affairs. Conviction of an Honor Code violation in a class will result in the grade of “XF" for the course.

ADA ACCOMMODATIONS:

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), all qualified students are entitled to “reasonable accommodations.” The instructor must be notified during the first week of class of any accommodations needed.
