Fall 2019 Course Syllabi

DCB has staff members trained to support survivors in navigating campus life, accessing health and counseling services, providing academic and housing accommodations, and more. The College strongly encourages all students to report any such incidents to the College Title IX Coordinator. Please be aware that all DCB employees (other than those designated as confidential resources such as advocates, counselors, clergy and healthcare providers) are required to report information about such discrimination and harassment to the College Title IX Coordinator. This means that if you tell a faculty member about a situation of sexual harassment or sexual violence, or other related misconduct, the faculty member must share that information with the College’s Title IX Coordinator. If you wish to speak to a confidential employee who does not have this reporting responsibility, you can find a list of resources on the Title IX website. www.dakotacollege.edu/student-life/safety/title-ix Grading Philosophy: Please understand that I do not care about your grades; I care about your education. My job is to teach you, your job is to learn what I teach you, and hopefully more. If we both do our jobs, grades shouldn’t be necessary. The best way to succeed in my class is to NOT focus on—“What’s my grade?” or “What do I need to get an A?”—but instead focus on—“How much can I learn?” If you embrace this, you won’t be doing assignments for grades, you’ll be doing them in order to learn, and the grade will become secondary and take care of itself.
