Students are expected to read their email at least once daily in order to keep up with important announcements regarding our class.<\/p>\n
I aim to reply to all e-mails within 48 hours during the semester. If ever I do not respond to an e-mail within 48 hours, please e-mail me again. Sometimes e-mails get caught in the spam folder or get buried under the sometimes very large number of e-mails I receive daily.<\/p>\n
Please do not send e-mails asking for information that you could find on the syllabus or the course website. I may or may not respond to such e-mails.<\/p>\n
Davidson College values the diversity of its community and is an equal access institution that admits otherwise qualified applicants without regard to disability.\u00a0 The college seeks to accommodate requests for accommodations related to disability that are determined to be reasonable and do not compromise the integrity of a program or curriculum. To make such a request or to begin a conversation about a possible request, please contact Beth Bleil, Director of Academic Access and Disability Resources, in the Center for Teaching and Learning by visiting her office in the E.H. Little Library, by emailing her at bebleil@davidson.edu<\/a>, or by calling 704-894-2129.<\/p>\n It is best to submit accommodation requests within the drop\/add period; however, requests can be made at any time in the semester.\u00a0 Please keep in mind that accommodations are not retroactive.<\/p>\n Because computer screens block faces and provide distraction, please take notes by hand. Because tablets are flat and annotating the readings is a crucial part of your work for the class, you can use a tablet to read PDFs in class as long as you have an annotation tool installed that allows you to mark up your readings. If you feel that your own circumstances warrant your bringing a laptop to class, please speak with me about it.<\/p>\n Finally, it should go without saying, but every year I see more and more students using their smart phones during class discussion, reflecting perhaps changing social mores around phone use. Sometimes, it is appropriate to use our digital tools to look up a word or concept during class; but it\u2019s never acceptable to use your phone for personal tasks during class. Even the more surreptitious texting is distracting to others in the classroom. Please remember to silence your cell phones.<\/p>\n Regular and prepared attendance is a course requirement. More than one unexcused absence will result in your final grade being lowered by a third (a B becomes a B-), and this will repeat for each additional absence. According to College Policy, missing a substantial number of classes will result in automatic failure of the course. E-mail me before or after every absence with an honest explanation so that I am aware of your situation. You are responsible for completing any work that you miss because of any absence.<\/p>\n An important note about religious observance:<\/em><\/p>\n Please look carefully at the syllabus during the first week of class.\u00a0 If any of the assignments or class meetings conflict with a major religious holiday for your faith, then please let me know. Together, we will make the necessary accommodations. Religious observance warrants a legitimately excused absence, but please be courteous and tell me ahead of time.<\/p>\n You are expected to complete all readings and blog posts prior to class. Extensions may be granted for some of the writing assignments if you seek permission ahead of time.<\/p>\n Much of the work required for this course is collaborative. It is your responsibility, on your honor, to commit to collaborating. Specifically, you\u2019ll work together with your teammates and spark each other\u2019s creativity to craft the most effective and stimulating lesson plans. It is not permitted to split up the work and alternate tasks.<\/p>\n Many of the readings are in English, but our conversation and writing will be in Spanish. You may visit the Spanish tutors in the Writing Center for help with your grammar, but you must hand in both drafts of your work.<\/p>\n The use of Spanish Spell Check is recommended and encouraged in this class.<\/p>\n Many thanks to Professor Melissa Gonz\u00e1lez, whose own policies and language have informed much of my own.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" E-mail Policies: Students are expected to read their email at least once daily in order to keep up with important announcements regarding our class.
