Psyc 3302 Spring 2014 Introduction
Electronic Mail UT Arlington has adopted MavMail as its official means to communicate with students about important deadlines and events, as well as to transact University-related business regarding financial aid, tuition, grades, graduation, etc. This instructor will use your UT Arlington student e-mail account for official communication regarding this course. All students are assigned a MavMail account and are responsible for checking the inbox regularly. There is no additional charge to students for using this account, which remains active even after graduation. Information about activating and using MavMail is available at . Communications and other class announcements will also be posted on the Blackboard system.Cell Phones Do not leave your cell phone or other electronic device turned on during class. Even on vibrate mode these devices are very distracting to me and to other students. Computers and Other Electronic Devices Students may use their laptop or other computer devices for in class note-taking purposes only. Students will refrain from using computers to access Facebook, YouTube, or other Web sites that are not directly related to the class discussion. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in the student losing in-class computer privileges.
Exams There will be four (4) in class exams. The exams will cover material from lectures, assignments, discussions, videos, presentations, additional readings, and the corresponding readings in the textbook. All of the exams will consist of multiple-choice items. A student arriving late after the scheduled class start time on an exam date will not be allowed to take the exam after the first exam is returned.Students are required to provide their own Scantron answer sheets (the big blue one, #4521) and pencils for the exams. An official UT Arlington picture I.D. may be required. Total exam performance is worth 80% of your final grade. No exam grade will be “dropped.” If an exam is canceled due to inclement weather or other unexpected reasons, it will take place on the subsequent scheduled class time and at the same place as originally scheduled. Unit Progress Checks There will be four (4) required in-class progress check assignments. Unit progress checks are designed to assess student knowledge of the materials covered in class. Each in-class unit progress check will be uniquely structured and will emphasize important themes, ideas, or concepts. Due dates will be announced in class. Each unit progress check is worth 25 points. Total unit progress check performance is worth 20% of your final grade. Evaluation Grading is based on a mastery model. There is NO curve. You may all get A’s, you may all fail, or you may sort yourselves out across a normal distribution of grades. It depends on the time and effort you put in to mastering the material
