The Academic Integrity\npledge, which applies to all students, states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am committed to being a person of integrity. I pledge,\nas a member of the Santa Clara University community, to abide by and uphold the\nstandards of academic integrity contained in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scu.edu\/osl\/student-conduct\/\">Student\nConduct Code<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe goals of the Student Conduct Code are to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Promote a safe\nliving and learning environment that is consistent with the mission of Santa\nClara University, and<\/li><li>Promote the personal\ngrowth of those who commit a violation by focusing on accountability,\nawareness, concern, commitment, and contrition.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The Student Conduct System is designed to engage students\nin reflection about their behavior and its impact on self, others, and the\ncommunity as a whole, thereby challenging students to ask themselves how their\nchoices are consistent with being the person they want to be now and in the\nfuture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students are expected to uphold the principles of this\npledge for all work in this class. For more information about Santa Clara\nUniversity\u2019s academic integrity pledge and resources about ensuring academic\nintegrity in your work, see&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scu.edu\/academic-integrity\/students\/\">https:\/\/www.scu.edu\/academic-integrity\/students\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plagiarism occurs when one person uses another person\u2019s\nwork\u2014from basic ideas to exact wording\u2014and presents it as his\/her\/their own. It\nis your responsibility to know what plagiarism is. It is also your job to know\nor to learn how to avoid it if you don\u2019t already know. We will go over this\ntogether. Our very own HUB Writing Center has a guide called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scu.edu\/media\/offices\/provost\/writing-center\/resources\/Tips-When-to-Cite.pdf\">Using Sources: When to Cite?<\/a>\u201d.\n&nbsp;Resources can also be found on our library website&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/leunerctw1fall2017.wordpress.com\/libguides.scu.edu\/c.php?g=175610&amp;p=1157237.\">here<\/a>. Last, Indiana\nUniversity has a web tutorial \u201cHow to Recognize Plagiarism\u201d that tests your\nunderstanding. It takes about an hour. If you pass the tutorial, you will earn\na certificate you can put on your CV! <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Attendance and Timeliness<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Plan to attend every class and arrive early or on time\nfor each class. I take attendance every day at the start of class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Absences:<\/strong>&nbsp;As your number of absences and\/or latenesses increases, it lowers your class participation grade. Contact me immediately if you are seriously ill or have an emergency that will require you to miss class and we will work together to come up with a plan.<\/li><li><strong>2 freebie days off:<\/strong>&nbsp;Each student is allotted 2 free days off from class, for any reason, with no penalty to your grade. After your 2nd absence, each additional absence lowers your final course grade by 2%. For example: if you have a 95% in the class, your 2nd absence makes that a 93%.&nbsp;<strong>Save your freebie days for sickness,<\/strong> <strong>interviews, travel, and other class conflicts. <\/strong>Talk to me if you have a medical emergency that requires you to miss more than your 2 allotted freebie days. Religious holidays are always excused and if you have disability accommodations that permit missing class, those absences will not affect your grade.<\/li><li>Your presence in class is crucial to our ability to create a class learning community. Just by being in the classroom, you\u2019ll learn and will have a better chance of earning an A in the course. So even if you\u2019re not caught up on the reading or writing, come to class.<\/li><li><strong>If you miss class:&nbsp;<\/strong>you are responsible for getting the notes that you missed and your homework assignment&nbsp;<em>from a classmate<\/em>. If you ask me for that information, I will remind you to ask a classmate. I\u2019d be happy to answer questions during office hours about the notes you receive.<\/li><li><strong>Lateness and leaving early:<\/strong>&nbsp;2 lates = 1 full absence that counts toward the absence policy described above. I will mark you late if you arrive in class once we have begun to address the day\u2019s course material or lesson. Also, please don&#8217;t pack up your things until class is really actually over &#8211; it is distracting to the rest of us. Thanks!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Books&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You are required to purchase or rent a copy of our\nofficial edition of the required texts for this course. They are listed in the\nsyllabus. All other readings that are due for a particular class will be\nprovided for you online in Camino Files or linked in the syllabus. I recommend\nprinting your reading when possible to enable annotation. You may use\nelectronic version of articles only if you can annotate them online in your\nchosen reader \u2013 I will verify that you can do this. These might include free\nannotation apps like Adobe Acrobat, Skim, Preview (Mac), PDFescape (web version\nis free), PDF-Xchange (Windows).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Disabilities\nResources&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a disability for which accommodations may be\nrequired in this class, please contact Disabilities Resources, Benson\n216,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scu.edu\/disabilities\">http:\/\/www.scu.edu\/disabilities<\/a>&nbsp;as\nsoon as possible to discuss your needs and register for accommodations with the\nUniversity. If you have already arranged accommodations through Disabilities\nResources, please discuss them with me during my office hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I am happy to assist you, I am\nunable to provide accommodations until I have received verification from\nDisabilities Resources. The Disabilities Resources office will work with\nstudents and faculty to arrange proctored exams for students whose\naccommodations include double time for exams and\/or assisted technology.\n(Students with approved accommodations of time-and-a-half should talk with me\nas soon as possible). Disabilities Resources must be contacted in advance to\nschedule proctored examinations or to arrange other accommodations. The\nDisabilities Resources office would be grateful for advance notice of at least\ntwo weeks. For more information, contact Disabilities Resources at\n408-554-4109.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your accommodations needs change\nduring the term, please notify me right away over email or in person so that I\ncan support your needs in any way I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Discrimination, Harassment,\nand Sexual Misconduct (Title IX)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Santa Clara University upholds a zero-tolerance policy\nfor discrimination, harassment and sexual misconduct. If you (or someone you\nknow) have experienced discrimination or harassment, including sexual assault,\ndomestic\/dating violence, or stalking, I encourage you to (1) get to a safe\nspace, and (2) tell someone promptly.&nbsp;<em>If you disclose to me, I will\nassist you in finding the resources and help you desire.<\/em>&nbsp;You\nhave options, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Cowell Center:\nconfidential health and counseling center (408-554-4501, 8:30am-5pm)<\/li><li>After hours, SCU\nEmergency Medical Services: 5pm-8am (when Cowell will be closed) (Emergency\nPhone Number: 408-554-4444, Non-Emergency Phone Number: 408-554-4441)<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scu.edu\/osl\/report\/\">Report an incident<\/a>&nbsp;online\n(SCU)<\/li><li>Report to your Title\nIX Coordinator Belinda Guthrie (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scu.edu\/title-ix\/faqs\/FAQS\">FAQs\nfor this<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 not always\nconfidential): (408) 551-3043 or bguthrie@scu.edu, 900 Lafayette Street, Suite\n100, Santa Clara 95050<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scu.edu\/title-ix\/if-you-or-someone-you-know-has-been-assaulted\/\">Sexual Assault Response Team (SART)<\/a>&nbsp;at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center 751 S Bascom\nAve, San Jose, CA 95128, Tel : (408) 885-5000<\/li><li>Call 911 if it\u2019s an\nemergency and you want the Santa Clara police to respond.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, please consult the University\u2019s\nGender-Based Discrimination and Sexual Misconduct Policy&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scu.edu\/media\/offices\/student-life\/policies\/GenderBasedDiscriminationandSexualMisconductPolicyPublication.pdf\">at<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2ce1hBb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2ce1hBb<\/a>&nbsp;or contact the University\u2019s EEO and Title IX\nCoordinator, Belinda Guthrie, at&nbsp;408-554-3043,&nbsp;bguthrie@scu.edu.\nReports may be submitted online through&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scu.edu\/osl\/report\/\">https:\/\/www.scu.edu\/osl\/report\/<\/a>&nbsp;or anonymously through Ethicspoint&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scu.edu\/hr\/quick-links\/ethicspoint\/\">https:\/\/www.scu.edu\/hr\/quick-links\/ethicspoint\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Grades&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The grades that I assign are non-negotiable unless I make\nan obvious calculation error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Office Hours<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I will be delighted to meet with you during office hours\nor by appointment to discuss academic topics or go over drafts of your work. I\nwill not look over drafts that you email to me since it limits our capacity for\ndialogue about your work. One-on-one feedback works best. Let\u2019s work together.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pregnancy and Parenting\nAccommodations&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In alignment with Title IX of the Education Amendments of\n1972, and with the California Education Code, Section 66281.7, Santa Clara\nUniversity provides reasonable accommodations to students who are pregnant,\nhave recently experienced childbirth, and\/or have medical needs related to\nchildbirth. Pregnant and parenting students can often arrange accommodations by\nworking directly with their instructors, supervisors, or departments.\nAlternatively, a pregnant or parenting student experiencing related medical\nconditions may request accommodations through Disability Resources.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Religious holidays<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you celebrate a religious holiday that conflicts with\nclass, please let me know with as much lead time as possible and we will\narrange for you to be excused. It will not impact your attendance record.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I encourage you to use laptops and tablets on a daily\nbasis in class for taking notes, collaboration, and researching in ways that\nrelate to our course material and the specific topic under discussion. I\nconsider phones far too small to be effective reading and writing devices for\ndaily coursework; they are not permitted to be in use during class unless I\napprove them on an individual basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Non-academic use of technology during class-time<\/strong>, including but not limited to texting, Facebook, email,\ndoing other homework, gaming, or messaging will result in your being excused\nfrom class immediately. You will be marked late for the day (1\/2 absence or \u00bd\nfreebie day). I enforce this rule starting on day 1. <\/li><li><strong>Texting: Do not text on your phone or a table\/laptop during class.\nYou will be immediately excused from class and counted absent<\/strong>. If you have an urgent family emergency, you may request\nmy permission&nbsp;<em>before class<\/em>&nbsp;to leave your\nphone on for the duration of our class time. If you must take an emergency call\nor send an emergency message, please step outside of the classroom so that you\nwill not disrupt your classmates or your teacher. Thank you.<\/li><li><strong>Why so serious about no texting\n(etc.) during class<\/strong>? Because we are\ntrying to learn how to listen sensitively and talk to one another about really\ndifficult topics. We have less than 3 hours per week together, face-to-face.\nLet\u2019s maximize it and be present for one another in this journey. Last, we are\na large class that has the potential to be easily distracted because of our\nsize. Turn of messaging and hide your phone for our class period and do your\nbest to stay focused as an active listener and positive class community member.\n<em>Thank you so very much!<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Turning in Work<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Turn in your work on time, as directed on your assignment directions. Failure to do so can result in points deducted. You can request an extension for a particular assignment up to 48 hours before an assignment is due by emailing me, telling me why you request an extension, and if I agree, I will allow you to set your own extended due date (within reason).<\/li><li>Late work: For late work with no extension granted, I will deduct one-half of a letter grade for each day that the work is late. If you turn the assignment in after the due date\/time, that counts as a day.<\/li><li>If you are sick and miss a quiz, you have up to 1 week to make it up. You can take the quiz during the next class period or during an office hours meeting. Email Dr. Leuner to reschedule.<\/li><li>Rewriting: Any writing assignment can be rewritten for a higher grade if you follow these steps. (1) Seek my approval via email by explaining what you would like to resubmit\/redo and why. (2) Meet with me to set goals and brush up on skills for the resubmission, and during the meeting we will set a due date, which I will hold you to. (3) Submit your work on time with an accompanying 2-page letter to me that explains what revisions you made, why, and what you learned from revising.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Websites <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We have two websites: (1) a syllabus website and (2)\nCamino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Camino<\/strong>&nbsp;will be used for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>accessing readings\nthat are scanned and not linked directly to our website<ul><li>turning in certain assignments<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>receiving certain assignments\nI have graded and return to you<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>access to your\ngrades<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>communication and\nupdates from me regarding the course.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Discussions (online)\namong our class \u2013 I use this feature a lot. <\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Accessing lessons I\npost online for our class only, in the form of video, audio, or other digital\ncontent.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Syllabus website (where\u00a0you\u00a0are\u00a0right\u00a0now)<\/strong>this is\u00a0public-facing\u00a0and will not contain student work unless students want it to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>an electronic\nversion of the full syllabus<ul><li>course policies<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>course calendar,\nwill be updated regularly throughout the term<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>assignments\nexplained in detail and linked to the course calendar<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>additional useful\nresource links<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>anything else we as\na class want to add<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>P.S.
