Teaching Philosophy
My approach for teaching this course involves lecture, group presentations by students, class
discussions, assignments, tests, and exam. To succeed in this course, I recommend you spend a
minimum of two hours studying the course material for each hour of class lecture. To best benefit from
the course, do not wait till the last minute before an assignment is due or the day of an exam to seek
help. If you send questions via email, my goal is to respond within 48 hours. Therefore, use this as a
guideline when you seek my help.

Rules of Engagement
Rules of engagement refer to the way students are expected to interact with each other and with their
instructors. Here are some general guidelines:

• While the freedom to express yourself is a fundamental human right, any communication that
utilizes cruel and derogatory language on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex,
sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, disability, genetic information,
veteran status, or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal or state law will
not be tolerated.
• Treat your instructor and classmates with respect in any communication online or face-to-face,
even when their opinion differs from your own.
• Ask for and use the correct name and pronouns for your instructor and classmates.
• Speak from personal experiences. Use “I” statements to share thoughts and feelings. Try not to
speak on behalf of groups or other individual’s experiences.
• Use your critical thinking skills to challenge other people’s ideas, instead of attacking individuals.

University of North Texas | 5


• Avoid using all caps while communicating digitally. This may be interpreted as “YELLING!”
• Be cautious when using humor or sarcasm in emails or discussion posts as tone can be difficult
to interpret digitally.
• Avoid using “text-talk” unless explicitly permitted by your instructor.
• Proofread and fact-check your sources.
• Keep in mind that online posts can be permanent, so think first before you type.

See these Engagement Guidelines (https://clear.unt.edu/online-communication-tips) for more

the ability to confidentially provide constructive feedback to their instructor and department to improve
the quality of student experiences in the course. The SPOT evaluations survey for the semester will open
towards the end of the semester.

Course Policies
Attendance Policy
Students are required to attend every lecture and lab sessions.

COVID-19 Impact on Attendance


While attendance is expected as outlined above, it is important for all of us to be mindful of the health
and safety of everyone in our community, especially given concerns about COVID-19. Please contact me
if you are unable to attend class because you are ill, or unable to attend class due to a related issue
regarding COVID-19. It is important that you communicate with me prior to being absent so I may make
a decision about accommodating your request to be excused from class.

If you are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-


ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html) please seek medical attention from the Student Health and
Wellness Center (940-565-2333 or [email protected]) or your health care provider. UNT also requires
you to contact the UNT COVID Hotline at 844-366-5892 or [email protected] for guidance on actions to
take due to symptoms, pending or positive test results, or potential exposure. While attendance is an
important part of succeeding in this class, your own health, and those of others in the community, is
more important.

Statement on Face Covering


Face coverings are strongly recommended in all UNT facilities. If you are unable to wear a face covering
due to a disability, please contact the Office of Disability Access to request an accommodation. UNT face
covering recommendations are subject to change due to community health guidelines. Any changes will
be communicated via the instructor.

Students are required to participate in classroom discussions.

Late Work
1. No late work will be accepted. All work turned in after the deadline will receive a grade of zero
unless the student has a university-excused absence and provides documentation with 48 hours
of the missed deadline.

Tests/Examination Policy
There will be a midterm exam and a final exam as shown in the course outline.

University of North Texas | 7


Assignment Policy
The official due dates for assignments are as shown under “Course Structure”. Additional instructions

The University is committed to providing a reliable online course system to all users. However, in the
event of any unexpected server outage or any unusual technical difficulty which prevents students from
completing a time sensitive assessment activity, the instructor will extend the time windows and provide
an appropriate accommodation based on the situation. Students should immediately report any
problems to the instructor and contact the UNT Student Help Desk: [email protected] or 940.565.2324
and obtain a ticket number. The instructor and the UNT Student Help Desk will work with the student to
resolve any issues at the earliest possible time.

Syllabus Change Policy


This syllabus is subject to change. Students will be notified of any change.

UNT Policies
Academic Integrity Policy
Academic Integrity Standards and Consequences: According to UNT Policy 06.003, Student Academic
Integrity, academic dishonesty occurs when students engage in behaviors including, but not limited to
cheating, fabrication, facilitating academic dishonesty, forgery, plagiarism, and sabotage. A finding of
academic dishonesty may result in a range of academic penalties or sanctions ranging from admonition
to expulsion from the University.

ADA Policy
UNT makes reasonable academic accommodation for students with disabilities. Students seeking
accommodation must first register with the Office of Disability Accommodation (ODA) to verify their
eligibility. If a disability is verified, the ODA will provide a student with an accommodation letter to be
delivered to faculty to begin a private discussion regarding one’s specific course needs. Students may
request accommodations at any time, however, ODA notices of accommodation should be provided as
early as possible in the semester to avoid any delay in implementation. Note that students must obtain a
new letter of accommodation for every semester and must meet with each faculty member prior to
implementation in each class. For additional information see the ODA website
(https://disability.unt.edu/).

Prohibition of Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation (Policy 16.004)


The University of North Texas (UNT) prohibits discrimination and harassment because of race, color,
national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, disability,
genetic information, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal or
state law in its application and admission processes; educational programs and activities; employment
policies, procedures, and processes; and university facilities. The University takes active measures to
prevent such conduct and investigates and takes remedial action when appropriate.

Emergency Notification & Procedures


UNT uses a system called Eagle Alert to quickly notify students with critical information in the event of
an emergency (i.e., severe weather, campus closing, and health and public safety emergencies like

University of North Texas | 8


chemical spills, fires, or violence). In the event of a university closure, please refer to Canvas for
contingency plans for covering course materials.

Retention of Student Records


Student records pertaining to this course are maintained in a secure location by the instructor of record.
All records such as exams, answer sheets (with keys), and written papers submitted during the duration
of the course are kept for at least one calendar year after course completion. Course work completed
via the Canvas online system, including grading information and comments, is also stored in a safe
electronic environment for one year. Students have the right to view their individual record; however,
information about student’s records will not be divulged to other individuals without proper written
consent. Students are encouraged to review the Public Information Policy and the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) laws and the University’s policy. See UNT Policy 10.10, Records
Management and Retention for additional information.

Acceptable Student Behavior


Student behavior that interferes with an instructor’s ability to conduct a class or other students'
opportunity to learn is unacceptable and disruptive and will not be tolerated in any instructional forum
at UNT. Students engaging in unacceptable behavior will be directed to leave the classroom and the
instructor may refer the student to the Dean of Students to consider whether the student's conduct
violated the Code of Student Conduct. The University's expectations for student conduct apply to all
instructional forums, including University and electronic classroom, labs, discussion groups, field trips,
etc. Visit UNT’s Code of Student Conduct (https://deanofstudents.unt.edu/conduct) to learn more.

Access to Information - Eagle Connect


Students’ access point for business and academic services at UNT is located at: my.unt.edu. All official
communication from the University will be delivered to a student’s Eagle Connect account. For more
information, please visit the website that explains Eagle Connect and how to forward e-mail Eagle
Connect (https://it.unt.edu/eagleconnect).

Student Evaluation Administration Dates


Student feedback is important and an essential part of participation in this course. The student
evaluation of instruction is a requirement for all organized classes at UNT. The survey will be made
available towards the end of the semester to provide students with an opportunity to evaluate how this
course is taught. Students will receive an email from "UNT SPOT Course Evaluations via IASystem
Notification" ([email protected]) with the survey link. Students should look for the email in their
UNT email inbox. Simply click on the link and complete the survey. Once students complete the survey
they will receive a confirmation email that the survey has been submitted. For additional information,
please visit the SPOT website (http://spot.unt.edu/) or email [email protected].

Sexual Assault Prevention


UNT is committed to providing a safe learning environment free of all forms of sexual misconduct,
including sexual harassment sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. Federal
laws (Title IX and the Violence Against Women Act) and UNT policies prohibit discrimination on the basis
of sex, and therefore prohibit sexual misconduct. If you or someone you know is experiencing sexual
harassment, relationship violence, stalking, and/or sexual assault, there are campus resources available
to provide support and assistance. UNT’s Survivor Advocates can assist a student who has been

University of North Texas | 9


impacted by violence by filing protective orders, completing crime victim’s compensation applications,
contacting professors for absences related to an assault, working with housing to facilitate a room
change where appropriate, and connecting students to other resources available both on and off
campus. The Survivor Advocates can be reached at [email protected] or by calling the Dean of
Students Office at 940-565- 2648. Additionally, alleged sexual misconduct can be non-confidentially
reported to the Title IX Coordinator at [email protected] or at (940) 565 2759.

Important Notice for F-1 Students taking Distance Education Courses


Federal Regulation

To read detailed Immigration and Customs Enforcement regulations for F-1 students taking online
courses, please go to the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations website (http://www.ecfr.gov/). The
specific portion concerning distance education courses is located at Title 8 CFR 214.2 Paragraph
(f)(6)(i)(G).

The paragraph reads:

(G) For F-1 students enrolled in classes for credit or classroom hours, no more than the equivalent of
one class or three credits per session, term, semester, trimester, or quarter may be counted toward the
full course of study requirement if the class is taken on-line or through distance education and does not
require the student's physical attendance for classes, examination, or other purposes integral to
completion of the class. An on-line or distance education course is a course that is offered principally
through the use of television, audio, or computer transmission including open broadcast, closed circuit,
cable, microwave, or satellite, audio conferencing, or computer conferencing. If the F-1 student's course
of study is in a language study program, no on-line or distance education classes may be considered to
count toward a student's full course of study requirement.

University of North Texas Compliance

To comply with immigration regulations, an F-1 visa holder within the United States may need to engage
in an on-campus experiential component for this course. This component (which must be approved in
advance by the instructor) can include activities such as taking an on-campus exam, participating in an
on-campus lecture or lab activity, or other on-campus experience integral to the completion of this
course.

If such an on-campus activity is required, it is the student’s responsibility to do the following:

(1) Submit a written request to the instructor for an on-campus experiential component within one
week of the start of the course.

(2) Ensure that the activity on campus takes place and the instructor documents it in writing with a
notice sent to the International Student and Scholar Services Office. ISSS has a form available that you
may use for this purpose.

Because the decision may have serious immigration consequences, if an F-1 student is unsure about his
or her need to participate in an on-campus experiential component for this course, s/he should contact
the UNT International Student and Scholar Services Office (telephone 940-565-2195 or email
[email protected]) to get clarification before the one-week deadline.

University of North Texas | 10


Student Verification
UNT takes measures to protect the integrity of educational credentials awarded to students enrolled in
distance education courses by verifying student identity, protecting student privacy, and notifying
students of any special meeting times/locations or additional charges associated with student identity
verification in distance education courses.

See UNT Policy 07-002 Student Identity Verification, Privacy, and Notification and Distance Education
Courses (https://policy.unt.edu/policy/07-002).

Use of Student Work


A student owns the copyright for all work (e.g. software, photographs, reports, presentations, and email
postings) he or she creates within a class and the University is not entitled to use any student work
without the student’s permission unless all of the following criteria are met:

• The work is used only once.


• The work is not used in its entirety.
• Use of the work does not affect any potential profits from the work.
• The student is not identified.
• The work is identified as student work.

If the use of the work does not meet all of the above criteria, then the University office or department
using the work must obtain the student’s written permission.

Download the UNT System Permission, Waiver and Release Form

Transmission and Recording of Student Images in Electronically-Delivered Courses

1. No permission is needed from a student for his or her image or voice to be transmitted live via
videoconference or streaming media, but all students should be informed when courses are to
be conducted using either method of delivery.

2. In the event an instructor records student presentations, he or she must obtain permission from
the student using a signed release to use the recording for future classes in accordance with the
Use of Student-Created Work guidelines above.

3. Instructors who video-record their class lectures with the intention of re-using some or all of
recordings for future class offerings must notify students on the course syllabus if students'
images may appear on video. Instructors are also advised to provide accommodation for
students who do not wish to appear in class recordings.

Example: This course employs lecture capture technology to record class sessions. Students may
occasionally appear on video. The lecture recordings will be available to you for study purposes
and may also be reused in future course offerings.

No notification is needed if only audio and slide capture is used or if the video only records the
instructor's image. However, the instructor is encouraged to let students know the recordings will be
available to them for study purposes.

University of North Texas | 11


Class Recordings & Student Likenesses
Synchronous (live) sessions in this course will be recorded for students enrolled in this class section to
refer to throughout the semester. Class recordings are the intellectual property of the university or
instructor and are reserved for use only by students in this class and only for educational purposes.
Students may not post or otherwise share the recordings outside the class, or outside the Canvas
Learning Management System, in any form. Failing to follow this restriction is a violation of the UNT
Code of Student Conduct and could lead to disciplinary action.

Academic Support & Student Services


Student Support Services
Mental Health
UNT provides mental health resources to students to help ensure there are numerous outlets to turn to
that wholeheartedly care for and are there for students in need, regardless of the nature of an issue or
its severity. Listed below are several resources on campus that can support your academic success and
mental well-being:

• Student Health and Wellness Center (https://studentaffairs.unt.edu/student-health-and-


wellness-center)
• Counseling and Testing Services (https://studentaffairs.unt.edu/counseling-and-testing-services)

center/services/psychiatry)
• Individual Counseling (https://studentaffairs.unt.edu/counseling-and-testing-
services/services/individual-counseling)

Chosen Names
A chosen name is a name that a person goes by that may or may not match their legal name. If you have
a chosen name that is different from your legal name and would like that to be used in class, please let
the instructor know. Below is a list of resources for updating your chosen name at UNT.

• UNT Records
• UNT ID Card
• UNT Email Address
• Legal Name

*UNT euIDs cannot be changed at this time. The collaborating offices are working on a process to make
this option accessible to UNT community members.

Pronouns
Pronouns (she/her, they/them, he/him, etc.) are a public way for people to address you, much like your
name, and can be shared with a name when making an introduction, both virtually and in-person. Just
as we ask and don’t assume someone’s name, we should also ask and not assume someone’s pronouns.

You can add your pronouns to your Canvas account so that they follow your name when posting to
discussion boards, submitting assignments, etc.

Below is a list of additional resources regarding pronouns and their usage:

University of North Texas | 12


o What are pronouns and why are they important?
o How do I use pronouns?
o How do I share my pronouns?
o How do I ask for another person’s pronouns?
o How do I correct myself or others when the wrong pronoun is used?
