ADDITIONAL READINGS & LECTURES You are expected to read all assigned material before coming to class, which will allow you to take more from each classroom experience. Although I do not have a formal attendance policy, I do expect you to attend every lecture. The material covered in class, at times, will be different from assigned readings and will not be distributed outside class. CLASSMATE CONTACTS Since this is a large class, you might find it beneficial to get to know at least two of your classmates so that you have a contact point for discussion, support, and catching up on notes from missed classes. Fill in their names and contact details here for your reference: ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ PARTICIPATION & CLASSROOM POLICY I expect everyone to keep up with the readings in the text and try to become engaged in class discussions at some point throughout the semester. I know this may prove difficult because of the class size but it will allow us to share our thoughts about topics covered during the semester. Also, please show respect for your fellow classmates, their thoughts, and ideas. The use of cell phones is NOT permitted. If you need to use your cell phone, please excuse yourself from the classroom. The use of laptops is permitted as long as it does not become disruptive for other students. BLACKBOARD Assignments as well as other course documents (i.e., additional readings and PowerPoints of the lectures) can be located on blackboard throughout the semester. GRADING SCALE 96-100 = A+ 86.5-89.9 = B+ 76.5-79.9 = C+ 60-69.9 = D 93-95.9 = A 83.5-86.4 = B 73.5-76.4 = C <59.9 = F 90-92.9 = A- 80-83.4 = B- 70-73.4 = C- COURSE DESIGN Exam I 100 pts Exam II 100 Final exam 100 In-class writing activities 50 Total points for the course: 350 EXAMS There will be three exams, worth 100 points each, administered during the semester. The exams are composed of multiple choice questions and all material (i.e., readings, lectures, discussions, films) is fair game. We will designate one class session before each exam to prepare. The first exam is scheduled for February 10th and the second exam March 24th. The final exam is scheduled for April 28th from 7:45 am10:15 am. Please note, the final exam is not cumulative and will only cover material since the third exam. Students are responsible for bringing a Scantron form and #2 pencil and eraser on exam days. Exam Policy You should not miss an exam, because a make-up exam is not guaranteed. However, in the event that you should miss an exam, notification should be given as soon as possible and official documentation, verifying your absence, will be required if you plan to make up the exam. IN CLASS ACTIVITIES Over the course of the semester we will engage in 5, in-class, writing activities. These will randomly occur over the semester. We will discuss various topics of drug courts, however, only 5 will warrant in-class writings. These are worth 10 points each and the following criteria must be met. First, you must complete these in-class. Do not try to send them to me outside of class as I will not accept them. Finally, if you are more than 15 minutes late for class you may not participate in the in-class writing activity unless you have valid documentation to note your lateness. Toward the end of the in-class writings we will come together and discuss our thoughts to promote scholarly debate.
