Text: Looking Out Looking In 12ed.
Test: Meyers
& Briggs Personality Profile (purchased in the bookstore)
I am excited to be here teaching and
learning with you. I want you to be able
to use the skills learned in this class.
I want you to have an exceptional learning experience during the next 18
weeks. To this end we must both work to
achieve these goals.
Instructional
Objectives: The goals of this class are: (1)
identify interpersonal communication situations, (2) recognize the underlying forces that control
how we communicate, (3) evaluate the role of emotions in the interpersonal
relationships, and (4) to develop the
ability to use communication as a way of empowering you.
In compliance with equal access
laws, I am available to discuss appropriate academic accommodations that you
may require as a student with a disability.
Request for academic accommodations need to be made during the first
week of the semester, except for unusual circumstances, so arrangements can be
made. Students are encouraged to
register with the Disabled Students Programs and Services (DSP&S) for
disability verification and for determination of reasonable academic
accommodations.
Requirements: Come to
class! Be open to learning and allowing
me to facility your learning. Come
prepared to work during class. Do your homework and turn it in on time. Read
the text, you have spent a lot of money on it, use it!!
Grading: There will
be five parts to the grading process:
(1)
Final Paper (8 pages for
writing) 20% of grade,
(2)
At least 4 tests 40% of grade
(if you miss a test I reserve the right to
allow you to make it up but you must come and talk to me about it first),
(3)
weekly writing 20% of grade,
(4)
Homework 10% of grade.
(5)
Participate in the class
required exercises 10% of grade
All
work will be typed, labeled and written at the college level. Plagiarism is not acceptable.
Understandings: We are
adults and I recognize our children, work, and crazy life will interfere with
this class. Keep this to a minimum. Please come and talk to me about any
problems. I reserve the right to drop
you from the class if you miss more than the college allowed number of
absences. If you are going to drop the class it is your
responsibility to get the correct forms filled out at Admissions and
Records. Also, as we are adults, we will
work quickly. If I am going too fast or
miss steps for you, let me know. Do not
be shy in this class.
Final
exam weekly schedule is different than the rest of the semester. Please check your catalogue. My exams require the full 3 hours so tell
your employer and do not expect to take the exam early.
Class Paper
Each student will write an eight page paper
(This does not include cover pages, bibliography, or pictures, charts and
graphs) using the MLA format. The paper
will use at least 5 sources, two of which must be from the library and not from
the internet. The student will choose a
theory from the book for further research.
The student will be asked to present their research to the class and
describe their findings. Please check the
Syllabus for dates when process checks of the paper are due.
