There will be quizzes on most chapters in your text. The chapters and dates pertaining to each quiz are outlined below. Your quizzes are 20 questions (usually Multiple choice, short answer, fill-in-the blanks, matching, and/or true/false) and you will have assigned minutes outlined in D2Lto answer them. This means that you should read the chapter BEFORE taking your quizzes. Because the dates and chapters are outlined for you, THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-UP QUIZZES AND NONE WILL BE RESCHEDULED. PLEASE DO NOT MISS THEM.

1. There will be individual 5-7 minutes oral presentation = 40 points. Presentation topics will be assigned by the instructor.

2. There will be four quizzes = 80 points @ 20 POINTS EACH. The due dates are specified as well. Again, there will be no make ups or rearrangement of the dates. So, please plan accordingly to have all work completed when it is due.

3. There will be ONE 100-POINT Mid-Term Examination.

4. There will be ONE 100-POINT 11 to 15 pages Research Paper submission, so please take this very seriously and format such properly, according to the American Psychological Association (APA) formatting. Also, proofread papers before submitting them. Deductions will be made if formatting is not followed. You can use the library or follow the hyperlink to aid in formatting. APA: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

5. IMPORTANT: Research papers will be turned in via D2L’s DropBox which utilizes the Turnitin <www.turnitin.com>. If you should desire to check it for yourself to begin to turn in your assignments you each MUST set up an account and enroll yourself in the course.

6. There will be ONE 100-POINT Final Examination. These exams are based on the PowerPoint and information shared as handouts to ensure that everyone has uniform information. Nevertheless, please be sure to read the corresponding sections in the books as it will help further ensure comprehension of the material as well as your quizzes are based on the book. The exam can be a combination multiple choice, matching, fill-in-the-blank, short answer, and true/false questions. The final examination WILL NOT BE CUMULATIVE. Nonetheless, some basics of the course from previous chapters/lectures/handouts may be utilized. PLEASE DO NOT MISS THEM.

______________________________________________________________________

Page 8 of 14

Extra-credit project(s) worth up to 20 points total may be requested IN-WRITING (via e-mail.

Such has to be requested in writing (via e-mail &/or listing self on such a log provided by the

instructor) by the ‘request’ deadline: Monday, September 21 (midnight). Upon approval by the

instructor, completed project(s) must be submitted by Tuesday, October 29. No extension will

be entertained unless there is an extenuating circumstance. Student may not be absent from class

no more than three (3) class days with documentations for absence to receive credit. Logically,

those then will also be days you will NOT receive any credit for ‘attendance’ and ‘class

participation’.

The concept of making extra-credit project(s) available is not to “make-up” (after the fact) but to

plan to exceed and by definition proactively strategizing to do the very best and to take

advantage of such an extra- prospect for possible contingencies that may conceivably be beyond

ones control. Attending class = to approximately 100% of the time (5:00 p.m. till 6:15 p.m.) this

class meets (Tuesdays and Thursdays). Students will not be penalized should a class end sooner

than scheduled on a particular day, or a day is scheduled as Take-Home Quiz &/or Research

Day.

_____________________________________________________________________

Possible Additional Requirement:

Visit to a correctional facility, jail, court, community corrections district, or a prison if such can

be arranged.

GeorgiaVIEW Desire2Learn:

Occasional but scheduled online activity is planned for this course. It can be more or less,

depending on the vocalization of all the students with no opposing views. If any such activity

will take place, it will be in Desire2Learn. Most of you are probably familiar with the concept; if

not, know that it is the virtual classroom aspect of the course. Such utilization, if at all, will be

announced ahead of time.

When required or suggested to do so, you can gain access to Desire2Learn, by signing on to the

SWAN portal and selecting:”GaVIEW” on the top right side. If you experience any difficulties

in Desire2Learn, please email or call The HUB at TheHub@mail.clayton.edu or (678) 466-

University’s tutorial POLARIS.

Connect to and review the contents, from the Flagler University web site. Your appraisal

is regarding citing sources, plagiarism, copyright,

The final section of the above module includes a 5-question quiz. You are to, on your own,

choose your answer, then click the submit button. The POLARIS is programmed to display a

response to your answer. After you have read the response, go to the next question.

You can take the quiz over again, but you must complete it before retaking any questions. The last page of the quiz displays a summary of your answers. You will be able to

print out your quiz results if you like.

GRADING POLICY:

Grading will be done on a numerical scale during the semester, with a final letter grade determined at the end of the course. Each graded item has been given a point value, and the total points earned will determine your letter grade according to the scale below.

The final grade in this is based upon a student’s performance in accordance with the outline of syllabus to

include, but not limited to class attendance, class discussion & participation, quizzes, oral presentation, a

research paper, a mid-term, and a final examination. The following grading scale will be used:

GRADING OUTLINE:

Grade Approximate Percentage Range

Total point Range Final Grade

A 90 -100% 418.5 – 465 A

B 80-89% 372 - 418.45 B

C 70-79% 325.5- 371.95 C

D 60-69% 279 – 325.45 D

F 0-59% 0 - 278.9 F

Mid-term Progress Report:

The mid-term exam is scheduled for October 2nd and the mid-term grade in this course, which

will be issued on or before October 8, 2015, reflects approximately 30% of the entire course

grade. Based on this grade, students may choose to withdraw from the course on or before

Friday, October 9 and receive a grade of "W." Students pursuing this option must fill out an

official withdrawal form, available in the Office of the Registrar, or withdraw on-line using the

Swan. NOTE: Mid-Term grade may not be a deciding factor, in my opinion, based on the

proportion of potential points which still may be earned (or lost) since the last day to withdraw, if

you opt, and receive a grade of W.

The last day to withdraw without academic accountability is Friday, October 9, 2015.

Once the drop/add window closes, you must withdraw from a course if you are no longer attending. Withdrawals do not absolve you from paying all tuition and fees

Page 11 of 14

associated with that particular course. Please refer to the section on refunds for additional information. Instructions for withdrawing are provided at this link.

Please check the relevant University web site to determine and to act upon, if you so choose, for the last day to withdraw without academic accountability.

Course Policies:

General Policy Students must abide by policies in the Clayton State University Student Handbook, and the Basic Undergraduate Student Responsibilities.

University Attendance Policy

Students are expected to attend and participate in every class meeting. For additional

information please see above.

Course Attendance Policy Attendance is expected for all class periods. Attendance is required for quiz and examination periods. Any absence must be accompanied by a written excuse from a doctor or other competent authority. You may earn Attendance &/or Participation points if you attend scheduled classes. I believe it is irrational to assign attendance or class participation points if a student is not able to (for whatever reason- documented or not) participate. Such days and times are almost impossible to be made up or replicated. Visit with the instructor for clarification &/or for “excused absence). Please also see directions to obtaining “excused” documentations.

Additional directives on Missed Work Without a valid excuse, a grade of zero points will be assigned for the missed work. If a valid excuse is provided:

Make-up quizzes will be given only if they are taken before quiz solutions are posted or discussed in class. If the make-up quiz cannot be taken before the solutions are posted, the missed quiz may be made up by doing assigned projects outside of the class. Make-up quiz or an assignment may not receive the full credit and may be penalized up to 20% of the assigned points even if such is approved.

The mid-term examination must be taken. The final examination must be taken.

Academic Dishonesty

Any type of activity that is considered dishonest by reasonable standards may constitute

academic misconduct. The most common forms of academic misconduct are cheating and

plagiarism. All instances of academic dishonesty will result in a grade of zero for the work

involved, at least, and a failure in the course at the discretion of the instructor (primarily, never

arbitrarily, but based on the level of academic dishonesty decided by the instructor). All

Page 12 of 14

instances of academic dishonesty will be reported to the Office of Student Life/Judicial Affairs.

All decisions made by the University/Board of Regents Policies & Procedures supersede

decision made the instructor, department, or the college. Judicial procedures are described at

http://adminservices.clayton.edu/judicial/.

Disruption of the Learning Environment

Behavior which disrupts the teaching–learning process during class activities will not be

tolerated. While a variety of behaviors can be disruptive in a classroom setting, more serious

examples include belligerent, abusive, profane, and/or threatening behavior. A student who

fails to respond to reasonable faculty direction regarding classroom behavior and/or behavior

while participating in classroom activities may be dismissed from class. A student who is

dismissed is entitled to due process and will be afforded such rights as soon as possible

following dismissal. If found in violation, a student may be administratively withdrawn, and the

student may receive a grade of WF.

A more detailed description of examples of disruptive behavior and appeal procedures is

provided at: http://a-s.clayton.edu/DisruptiveClassroomBehavior.htm

_____________________________________________________________________

Expectations

Readings. I expect you to do the assigned reading for class before class begins. Students who

do not study the assigned readings will have a hard time completing the course successfully.

Handouts distributed in this class are considered assigned reading.

Class Participation. I expect you to come to every class prepared to discuss the assigned

readings in an informed manner and to engage in an exchange of ideas and criticism of the

material. I reserve the right to elevate the course grade of students who have consistently made

meaningful contributions to class discussions. Students will receive credit for class participation

when they consistently demonstrate their understanding of the assigned readings, make

relevant and thought- provoking contributions to class discussions, and show respect for the

views of others. Students who do not contribute, or participate in a problematic way (e.g.,

dominate the conversation, make rambling comments, interrupt the instructor with tangential

contributions, and try to bluff their way through a discussion) will not receive credit. I reserve the

right to give special consideration to students who tend to be very shy, if throughout the

semester, they make an unambiguous effort to overcome their shyness.

Attendance. I expect you to attend class. While lectures elaborate on selected topics covered

in the assigned readings, every lecture will present a significant amount of material not found in

the assigned readings. If you miss class, I expect you to get notes from another student. I will

not provide a copy of my lecture notes. If you miss class on the day an exam is returned, or a

Page 13 of 14

handout is distributed I expect you to come by my office to get your exam (if permitted per this

outline or the instructor), or a copy of the handout.

Problems, suggestions, concern. I expect you to report any questions, concerns, or

suggestions to me as soon as possible. (e.g., Do not wait until the end of the semester to let me

know that you cannot see the overhead projections.).

______________________________________________________________________

Operation Study:

At Clayton State University, we expect and support high motivation and academic achievement. Look for Operation Study activities and programs this semester that are designed to enhance your academic success such as study sessions, study breaks, workshops, and opportunities to earn Study Bucks (for use in the University Bookstore – Loch Shop) and other items.

Other Policies

The use of simple calculators may be allowed for all quizzes and examinations.

All examinations, unless announced otherwise, are closed book.

No student-produced "memory sheets" or note cards are allowed.

Instructor reserves the right to make necessary deviations from this syllabus without notice &/or with cause such as a natural calamity, etc.

___________________________________________________________________

Important Disclaimers

This syllabus is a good faith effort to summarize information about the course. However, some

information provided here (e.g., exam dates, reading assignments, etc.) may be subject to

change during the semester. Additions, corrections, clarification, or other changes that may be

announced in class will supersede the information presented here.

During the semester we will consider several descriptive accounts from criminal offenders,

prison correctional officers, correctional counselors, and others. Some of these accounts will

include extreme profanity, and graphic descriptions or images of extreme violence.

This course employs an experiential approach to learning about counseling criminal offenders.

In other words, students may be required to participate in various activities that are intended to

enrich the learning process. This can/may include a tour or two of a prison, jail, or a correctional

facility. An important component of this approach may involve interviewing and being

interviewed by individual classmates. For example, each student might be required to l interview

Page 14 of 14

a classmate as part of an exercise in self-exploration through disclosure. Also, each student

will/may create and play the role of a criminal offender. Students will take on their role creation

for the purpose of being interviewed by a classmate. Finally, students might be required to

interview an adult/juvenile offender on probation or parole. Students will use the data from these

interviews to complete an extra-credit project, a case study and treatment plan for the offender.

Any or all of these assignments might create significant feelings of anxiety for some students. If

you have doubts about your ability to manage these feelings in a mature fashion, you are

strongly advised not to enroll in this course.

Other Policies

The use of simple calculators (if appropriate) is allowed for all quizzes and examinations.

All examinations, unless announced otherwise, are closed book.

No student-produced "memory sheets" or note cards are allowed.

No computers are allowed when such permission is rescinded as directed by the instructor/

Instructor reserves the right to make necessary deviations from this syllabus, with or without

notice &/or with cause such as a natural calamity, campus or other emergency, etc.
