Supplementary Readings

Supplementary readings, provided by the instructor, may be required.

Class Organization

This is an online course. Course communications take place primarily via telephone, Canvas and e-mail. This means that readings and assignments are completed individually, for the most part at your own convenience. Exams and quizzes are to be taken on Canvas

Course Requirements

It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw from the course that the student cannot attend regularly and meet the responsibilities indicated in the class syllabus. The student who does not complete the withdrawal process will receive a failing grade in the course. All necessary information for the quizzes and assignments will be supplied by the instructor. All chapter notes will be supplied via PowerPoints in the Modules section of Canvas. Therefore, it is totally an individual choice as to whether the textbook is beneficial for the student to obtain. All assignments that are uploaded into Canvas must be typed unless otherwise stated. All assignments, with the exception of the Multiple Intelligences Assessment form and the PowerPoint presentation are to be produced and submitted with double-spacing and typed in Times New Roman or Arial in a 12, 13, or 14 pt. font. Assignments will be graded according to content, grammar, spelling, punctuation, and neatness. Students are expected to complete assignments according to the schedule. No late submissions will be accepted without prior permission obtained from the instructor. A grade of zero will be awarded to said assignments not submitted on time. ONLY absences with proper documentation from a hospital stay for the student will receive additional consideration. If you have a medical issue that prevents you from completing your coursework in the allotted time, you need to drop/withdraw from the course. If you are expecting the birth of a child during this semester, you need to convey this information to the instructor at the beginning of the semester. Stay prepared and pace yourself accordingly. Be prepared to work.

Professional Ethical Expectations

Ethics are imperative in the field of early childhood education/care and development of young children. You are in the unique and honored position to influence children’s lives. It is highly important that any work is your own. That is, no plagiarizing in any form will be tolerated. If you look something up on the internet and you like it, you are not allowed to copy it verbatim. You may paraphrase it as long as you cite your work. You are also not allowed to copy another student’s work. If another’s words are used or borrowed without the benefit of quotation marks, this too is considered plagiarism. Any form of cheating will not be tolerated. Students found committing this act will receive an F for the assignment in question and an F in the course for the semester grade. Just because this is an online course does not mean that professional cordiality and respect are thrown out the window. Each and every student is expected to conduct themselves in communication and assignment submissions like the education professionals they are working to become. Cite your sources at the end of a paper/PowerPoint in terms of footnotes and references. APA format is required in education courses, not MLA. It is better to ask for an extension and receive a lowered grade than to risk being asked to leave a course of study for “stealing” the words of someone else. I want you to succeed in this course. If you have a special need, please let me know. I am here to help you learn and grow and I hope to do the same from you. If you have a disability, whether it be visible or hidden, please visit the office of Disability Services in person with documentation of your disability. Please discuss with me so accommodations can be made. Thanks, and let’s have a wonderful semester together.

Accommodations For Special Needs Disability Services Disclaimer

It is the general policy of Delgado Community College to provide an equal opportunity for academic success to all students. Reasonable accommodations for a student with a disability will be made provided the student has self-identified with the Office of Disability Services and has provided the required documentation. Instructors will appropriately modify their methods of instruction, course and examination requirements, and general procedures to accommodate the special needs of the student provided the academic integrity of the course or examination is not violated and the accommodation does not jeopardize the health and welfare of any student. Accommodations will not be made without the letter of accommodation from the Office of Disability Services.

Autonomy Of Instructor

The instructor reserves the right to adjust the schedule of class topics and to include any additional readings that may be pertinent to the subject matter or deemed necessary to insure a thorough understanding of all material and content as needed throughout the semester. The instructor reserves the right to adjust the class assignments and/or the due dates of the class assignments as deemed necessary to insure a thorough understanding of all material and content as needed to successfully complete the course assignments throughout the semester.

Course Communications

As all courses have currently gone to an online delivery due to the covid-19 impact, course communications will primarily be through e-mail. When emailing the instructor, it is best to generate the e-mail in Canvas in the CDYC 105 course so that it will have the course number at the top of the e-mail. Regardless if it is generated from Canvas or your Delgado e-mail account, be sure to put the topic of the message in the subject line. Do not just use a previous e-mail to generate a new message without changing the subject line. Students contacting the instructor at the end of the work week, over the weekend, or during holiday/school breaks should not expect the instructor to respond until the next work week or school resumes. It’s the policy of this instructor that she does not respond to e-mails that warrant no response. Receipt of this written document and oral discussion in class meetings of any changes or revisions of assignments and due dates will be considered sufficient and acceptable unless in the event that additional printed materials are needed to be supplied to the candidates by the instructor for use in successful completion of an assignment.

Disruptive Behavior

The Delgado Community College Student Judicial Code defines disruptive behavior as: 'Any student who displays intentional obstruction or disruption of teaching, research, administration, disciplinary procedure, or other authorized college event; Any student who displays verbal, emotional, or physical abuse or threat thereof against any person on campus or at any college authorized event, or other conduct which threatens or endangers the health and safety of any such person; Any student who displays conduct which adversely affects the student’s suitability as a member of the academic community (such as drunkenness, use of profanity, or disorderly conduct).'
