Course Requirements: Grading is based on a standard college curve, where students earn a grade based upon the percent of total points possible. Drop quizzes may not be made up. There will be a one week grace period to make up any missed exams or assignments. Any missed exam/work not made up within that allotted time will be given a zero. It is the responsibility of the student to schedule make-up work during a date and time mutually convenient for the student and the instructor. Final letter grades are based on the following criteria: A - 89.5 - 100% of the total points B - 79.5 - <89.5% of the total points C - 69.5 - < 79.5% of the total points D - 59.5 - <69.5% of the total points F - <59.5% of the total points Tentative Course Outline (Subject to Change): WEEK Discussion Topic and Activities Assignments/Readings Week 1 -Review syllabus Questionnaire Overview of the class -Chapter 1 –Classroom Management in Perspective Read Chapter 1 for TH Assignment: Answer the question at the end of chapter 1 (page 28) Week 2 Chapter 2 – Understanding Students’ Basic Psychological Needs Read Chapter 2 for T (week 2) Week 3 Exam on Tuesday (Ch 1 and 2) Chapter 3 – Establishing Positive Teacher- Student Relationships Read Chapter 3 for Th (week 3)
