Grading for this Course

Homework: There will be homework assigned after each lecture, due approximately three days later, done online using the Quest system, located at https://quest.cns.utexas.edu/. Note that Quest will subtract points for wrong answers, so think carefully before you answer or you could end up with a negative score.

Quizzes: There will be weekly quizzes in the discussion sessions.

Exams: There will be two midterm exams, to be held during the usual class period, and a comprehensive final exam. The midterms are tentatively scheduled for October 7 and November 6. The final exam is scheduled for Friday, December 13, 2:00pm-5:00pm, location to be announced later. Please mark on your calendars now the time and date of the exams. Textbooks, notes, and electronic devices (including phones and calculators) are not permitted during exams.

Grading Scheme: The final grade will be the maximum determined under these two grade weighting schemes:

Activity Scheme 1 Scheme 2

Homework 20%

Quizzes 10%

Midterm Exams 30%

Final Exam 40% 100%

Letter Grades

The grading convention, 90.00-100% A, 86.67-90.00% A-, 83.33-86.67% B+, 80-83.33% B, 76.67%-80.00% B-, 73.33-76.67% C+, 70.00-73.33% C, 66.67%-70.00% C-, 63.33-66.67% D+, 60.00-63.33% D,56.67%-60.00% D-, less than 56.67% F, will be followed. If for some reason there is a deviation from this scale it will be applied uniformly to the whole class. Changes to the scale will only make the scale more generous.

Class Resources

University Policies

University Code of Conduct: The core values of The University of Texas at Austin are learning, discovery, freedom, leadership, individual opportunity, and responsibility. Each member of the university is expected to uphold these values through integrity, honesty, trust, fairness, and respect toward peers and community.

Student Honor Code: "As a student of The University of Texas at Austin, I shall abide by the core values of the University and uphold academic integrity."

Academic Integrity: A fundamental principle for any educational institution, academic integrity is highly valued and seriously regarded at The University of Texas at Austin. More specifically, you and other students are expected to maintain absolute integrity and a high standard of individual honor in scholastic work undertaken at the University. This is a very basic expectation that is further reinforced by the University's Honor Code. At a minimum, you should complete any assignments, exams, and other scholastic endeavors with the utmost honesty which requires you to:

acknowledge the contributions of other sources to your scholastic efforts;
complete your assignments independently unless expressly authorized to seek or obtain assistance in preparing them;
follow instructions for assignments and exams, and observe the standards of your academic discipline; and
avoid engaging in any form of academic dishonesty on behalf of yourself or another student.

Students who violate university rules regarding academic integrity are subject to disciplinary penalties, including the possibility of failure in the course and/or dismissal from the university. Policies on scholastic honesty will be strictly enforced. This includes but is not limited to: writing another student’s name on an in-class activity, or otherwise taking or giving credit for work that is not one’s own. This is viewed as a form of cheating by The University of Texas and will be treated as such in this class as well. You are responsible for understanding UT’s Academic Honesty and the University Honor Code which can be found at the following web address: http://deanofstudents.utexas.edu/sjs/acint_student.php

Excused Absences: For an absence to be excused you must provide legitimate documentation prior to or no later than one week after your absence. Excused absences include:

Illness (must have a signed note from your physician on their letterhead; generic “no excuse” form letters from University Health Services will not be accepted)
Critical family events (e.g., weddings or funerals)
Official UT events (e.g., games if you’re an athlete, concerts if you’re a band member)
Religious Holy Days

If you have an excused absence, you will have one week to complete whatever in-class work you missed (quiz, exam, etc.). If your excused absence occurred on a day when a quiz or an exam was given, it is your responsibility to arrange to take a make-up quiz or exam. It is also your responsibility to leave the classroom if the quiz or exam is being discussed before you take the make-up version. Failure to do so will result in forfeiting your opportunity to take the make-up.

Drop dates: September 3 is the last day to drop without approval of the department chair; September 13 is the last day to drop the course for a possible refund; October 31 is the last day an undergraduate student may, with the dean's approval, withdraw from the University or drop a class, referred to as Q drop, except for urgent and substantiated, nonacademic reasons. Under Texas law, you are only allowed six Q drops while you are in college at any public Texas institution. For more information, see: http://www.utexas.edu/ugs/csacc/academic/adddrop/qdrop. For more information about deadlines for adding and dropping the course under different circumstances, please consult the Registrar's web page, http://registrar.utexas.edu/calendars/19-20/.

University Resources for Students

Your success in the class is important to me. If there are aspects of this course that prevent you from learning or exclude you, pleas let me know as soon as possible. Together we will develop strategies to meet both your needs and the requirements of the course.

Personal or Family Emergencies: If you you experience a personal or family emergency (death in the family, protracted sickness, serious mental health issues) you should contact Student Emergency Services in the Office of the Dean of Students. Student Emergency Services supports students by providing the most comprehensive outreach, assistance, intervention, and referrals. They will also work with you to communicate with me and your other professors and let them know of your situation. http://deanofstudents.utexas.edu/emergency/index.php BeVocal:BeVocal is a university-wide initiative to promote the idea that individual Longhorns have the power to prevent high-risk behavior and harm. At UT Austin all Longhorns have the power to intervene and reduce harm. To learn more about BeVocal and how you can help to build a culture of care on campus, go to http://wellnessnetwork.utexas.edu/BeVocal

Title IX Reporting: Title IX is a federal law that protects against sex and gender-based discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexual misconduct, dating/domestic violence and stalking at federally-funded educational institutions. UT Austin is committed to fostering a learning and working environment free from discrimination in all its forms. When sexual misconduct occurs in our community, the university can:

Intervene to prevent harmful behavior from continuing or escalating.
Provide support and remedies to students and employees who have experienced harm or have become involved in a Title IX investigation.
Investigate and discipline violations of the university's relevant policies.

Faculty members and certain staff members are considered "Responsible Employees" or "Mandatory Reporters," which means that they are required to report violations of Title IX to the Title IX Coordinator. I am a Responsible Employee and must report any Title IX related incidents that are disclosed in writing, discussion, or one-on-one. Before talking with me, or with any faculty or staff member about a Title IX related incident, be sure to ask whether they are a responsible employee. If you want to speak with someone for support or remedies without making an official report to the university, email advocate@austin.utexas.edu For more information about reporting options and resources visit http://titleix.utexas.edu or contact the Title IX Office at titleix@austin.utexas.edu.
