See the "Assignments" page
for details on the nature of the assignments and components above. |
Group
Projects: In some cases two or more participants and
the professor may agree that a group project is warranted and either
a presentation or
the case study requirements will be amended. The primary rationale for a group
project will be to address
topics that are more complicated than the typical assignment. |
Style
Guidelines: Participants should use APSA style for the
any presentations *(in terms of references, etc.). See the "APSA
Format Handout" (PDF* file) on the PA
Resources page. |
| Communication: |
 |
E-mail is our preferred
method of communication. We will use the WebCT email exclusively for this course. |
|
I will generally respond
to any e-mail within one to two working days. Likewise,
I ask that you check your email daily and respond in a timely manner if a
response is requested or
warranted. |
|
If the email communication
fails or some emergency comes up it is OK to contact the teacher
by
telephone. The best number is my cell number: (229) 221-2891 and voice mail
is available in case I cannot
answer. I will return calls if needed. |
|
| Seeking
Professional Assistance and Working with Others: If you
seek information, assistance, and/or support from others, particularly
professionals, always act as a professional would be expected to
act. Please be kind. In addition to normal politeness, please send
all helpful individuals a thank you letter. |
| University Attendance Policy from the VSU catalogue: “The University expects that all students shall regularly attend all scheduled class meetings held for instruction or examination. . . . It is recognized that class attendance is essentially a matter between students and their instructors. Instructors must explain their absence policy in the course syllabus. All students are held responsible for knowing the specific attendance requirements as prescribed by their instructors and for the satisfactory make-up work missed by absences. When students are to be absent from class, they should immediately contact the instructor. A student who misses more than 20% of the scheduled classes of a course will be subject to receive a failing grade in the course.” |
| Language
Biases: All participants are expected to employ non biased
speech and prose--gender,
race, and other. At times we will make mistakes and say or write in a manner
which may cause offense.
We will help each other to remove biases and offensive aspects from our speech
and prose. |
| Working
Together: Participants are encouraged to cooperate and share
ideas, resources, and insights.
Make certain the final product reflects your efforts, but help each other out.
Learning, like almost
everything, is more fun when it is a shared experience. |
| Questions/Concerns: If
in doubt, please ask! Do not let a little problem grow. The only "stupid" or “silly” question is the one that goes unasked. |
