(physical, medical, learning or psychiatric—either temporary or permanent)
you may be eligible for reasonable accommodations in compliance with
University policy, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act, and/or the New Jersey Law against Discrimination. Please
note, students are not permitted to negotiate accommodations directly with
professors. To request accommodations or assistance, please self-identify with
the Office for Disability Support Services (DSS) at the beginning of the
semester to provide appropriate documentation and collaborate with the
development of an accommodation plan. For more information or to register for

COURSE
CALENDAR
{subject to change via this online version, stay tuned!}
1.
The following calendar lists the dates of the units of study and the
accompanying readings in the required text. As
the semester progresses,
Additional written
assignments,
oral
activities, worksheets, computer projects,
etc.
will be added/UPDATED on a REGULAR
basis.
***tHE DEFAULT LOCATION FOR THESE INFORMATION
PAGES WILL BE VIA THE PROFESSOR'S WEBPAGE
(not blackboard) .
2.
Classroom time will be devoted primarily to the clarification, exploration, and
discussion of the issues generated by the readings and students' research. In
other words, class sessions will be based on your readings and
research, but will not simply "rehash" the same exact material in a verbatim
manner. You can be better prepared for the classroom activities & discussions if
you keep up on your readings.
It is the student's responsibility to be prepared for class by
anticipating the units and discussion assignments.
NB: Updates and additional details will be made via the online
calendar and/or via email.
3.
READ
CAREFULLY: The
"Presentation
Schedule" Procedure:
Slots for the MAJOR presentations are
specified in advance via the online posting of a
Presentation Schedule
[click
here for a sample].
This
schedule will list the assigned dates for speakers, evaluators, and recorder
operators/technical assistants. It will be "published" at least one day
before the presentations begin--linked to your course calendar as well as via a
shortcut on the Professor's main web page. Whenever possible, a copy also
will be posted on the Professor's office door.
Consequently, students always are expected to be prepared to speak on their assigned
date
--
NO EXCEPTIONS.
**
| **
Any missed
major
presentations will default to a:
DURING-FINALS-WEEK / BRING-YOUR-OWN-AUDIENCE/ APPOINTMENT-ONLY
procedure
. Consequently,
the opportunity to make up such missed presentations is not guaranteed.**
{ NB: Only a few make-up slots will be available. Last semester several
people were unable to make up their presentation zeros } |
