The fourth edition lacks many concepts and relevant materials that will be testable on course examinations. Materials found in the text may or may not be covered fully in class lectures, but if they are a part of the assigned readings, your understanding of them is likely to be assessed in quizzes and examinations. In addition to the text, supplementary reading materials from a variety of sources (magazines, web documents, and scholarly journals) may be assigned at different times in the semester. The purpose of all assigned readings is to challenge students to learn, retain, and apply materials to relevant issues in society. All assigned readings should be completed in advance of the date they are due. Class Policies and Requirements:1. Participation & Punctuality: Students are strongly encouraged to attend all regularly scheduled classes. Attendance is regarded as an important part of mastering the course material. The content of each lecture includes interpretation of the assigned readings, in addition to further analysis of the topicwhich are supplemented by other sources of information absent from the text and assigned readings. Allmaterials presented in lectures are considered testable. Therefore, students who do not to attend class may find their scores on exams to be lower than desired. If students miss class, necessary steps should be taken to obtain notes and information from peers. Additionally, announcements may be made in class with respect to changes in readings, examination dates, and other matters related to course content. Ignorance regarding announcements made in class will not be accepted as an excuse for failure to meet class requirements.2. Class Expectations: RST faculty expects that all students are fully engaged with classroom activities and presentations, thereby contributing to a climate of engagement throughout the class. Thus, using a cell phone, working on assignments for other courses, reading newspapers or books, doing email, surfingthe internet, playing computer games, or sleeping are unacceptable. Any student who engages in behaviors such as these, which are inconsistent with full engagement in class activities, will result in loss of points and/or you may be asked to leave! 3. Academic Integrity:Academic integrity is the pursuit of scholarly and creative activity in an open, honest, and responsible manner, free from fraud and deception. Plagiarism or other forms of academic dishonesty will result in penalties according to Section 4, Article 1 of the Code of Policies and RegulationsApplying to All Students (http://www.admin.uiuc.edu/policy/code). Students who do not understand relevant definitions of academic infractions contained in Section 4, Article 1 should contact one of the instructors for further explanation during the first week of class.4. Student Conduct:a) Arrive on time and stay until class dismisses. Students who are late are a distraction to the learning process. Students who arrive late or leave early may miss in-class assignments. On legitimate occasions where students must leave early, inform the instructor prior to the start of class.b) No excessive talking – students who are disruptive will be given a warning. On the next occurrence, they will be asked to leave the classroom.c) Be respectful of the teacher, teaching assistants, and peers at all times. Disagreement and differences of opinion are welcomed as they have the potential to greatly contributeto the educational environment. This can only happen, however, when it is done in a non-aggressive and respectful manner. Students who fail to exhibit positive social behavior will be removed from class.5.
