Course Rational and Purpose

This course is the second course in the Human Behavior in the Social Environment (HBSE) sequence of courses,

building on HBSE I which was focused on a multidimensional approach to examining the behavior of individuals,

couples, families, groups, organizations, communities, and society as a whole. The content of HBSE II continues to

develop students’ theoretical knowledge and reinforces social work values in which practice skills are based.

Students will learn, critically evaluate, and apply theories of individuals as they biologically, psychologically,

socially, culturally, and spiritually develop over the human life course within environmental context. HBSE II

content continues to be viewed from the ecological paradigm, a person-in-environment perspective, and

biopsychosocial approach to clients. Application of knowledge, values, and learned skills are critically

evaluated and applied through a student project and reflection paper. Throughout this course social work values

and ethics as well as information pertinent to diverse populations will be incorporated.

allotted for a course; written assignments graded fairly and with reasonable promptness to show the student's

academic standing in the course at least before mid-semester; ample opportunity to confer with the professor at

published office hours in order to review graded written work; freedom from ridicule, discrimination,

Page 7: Department of Clinical Health Sciences Social Work Program ... 3335 HBSE II.pdf · The content of HBSE II continues to ... Four unexcused absences will result in a drop of a letter

Page 7 of 21

harassment

Or accusations in the presence of other students or faculty members; and an avenue for appealing to higher

academic authority in case of alleged unfairness by an instructor.

Academic Misconduct

Texas A&M University-Kingsville students are expected to assume individual responsibility for maintaining a

productive learning environment and conduct themselves with the highest regard for respect and consideration

of others. On-going or one-time behaviors considered distracting (including, but not limited to, coming late to

class, performing a repetitive act that is annoying, sleeping, or reading newspapers or outside materials, etc.)

may be addressed by the course instructor initially, either generally or individually, in an effort to manage the

classroom. Cases in which behavior becomes excessive and the student refuses to response to the faculty

member’s efforts may be referred to the Dean of Students.

Academic Dishonesty

Students are expected to do their own course work. Plagiarism constitutes one form of academic dishonesty.

The student handbook defines plagiarism as “portrayal of another’s work or ideas as one’s own”. Other

examples of academic dishonesty include cheating, fabrication, lying, multiple submissions of the same

assignment, bribery, threat, and aiding or facilitating another in an act of academic dishonesty. The University

policy states “the usual penalty for academic dishonesty is a grade of F on the particular assignment or in the

course. More serious cases of academic dishonesty involving repeat offenses, conspiracy with other students, or

theft of exam questions may result in suspension or expulsion from the university.”

For complete discussion of the definitions and University policy related to academic misconduct, please refer to

the Texas A&M University-Kingsville Student Handbook located at:

http://www.tamuk.edu/dean/dean_files/studenthandbook.pdf for the university policies concerning students

with disabilities. A copy of the student handbook is also available for your review in the Social Work Program

office.

Harassment and Discrimination

Harassment and discrimination constitute non-academic misconduct. The University defines harassment as “to

conduct by any means with intent to harass, annoy, alarm, abuse, torment, intimidate, bully or embarrass

another and would cause a reasonable person substantial emotional distress and undermine his or her ability to

work, study, learn or participate in regular life or university activities. Harassing conduct may be verbal,

written, visual, electronic or physical in nature, and include only one instance to be considered harassing. Jokes

and other comments interpreted as threats are taken seriously and acted upon to the full extent of the

University’s procedures.”

Sexual misconduct represents one form of discrimination and includes sexual assault, sexual harassment,

domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. It is the policy of the University that “upon learning that an act

of sexual misconduct has taken place, immediate action will be taken to address the situation and hold the

accused student accountable. This includes working with state and local law enforcement to bring possible

criminal charges and seeking disciplinary action through the university.” The University encourages prompt and

accurate reporting of sexual misconduct.

The University is committed to protecting the privacy of victims of sexual misconduct and will work closely

with students who wish to obtain confidential assistance. However, the University cannot guarantee complete

confidentiality but will share only information as needed to address the issue.

For complete discussion of the University policy related to non-academic misconduct, including harassment and

discrimination, please refer to the Texas A&M University-Kingsville Student Handbook located at:

http://www.tamuk.edu/dean/dean_files/studenthandbook.pdf for the university policies concerning students with

disabilities. A copy of the student handbook is also available for your review in the Social Work Program

office.

Students with Disabilities

The Disability Center at Texas A&M University-Kingsville promotes an inclusive environment free of physical

and attitudinal barriers to ensure that students with disabilities engage in a full- range of college experiences. It

is the responsibility of the student to provide documentation that verifies the student’s condition meets the

definition of a disability as defined by applicable laws. To request services, the student must submit disability

documentation and a detailed class schedule in writing to the Disability Center. This request must be delivered

in person or by FAX to 361.593.2006 at least 2-3 weeks in advance of the requested accommodation. The

State “Six-Drop” Policy

ADD/DROP Policies

Texas State Senate Bill 1231 limits the number of drops that certain undergraduate students may accrue without

a punitive grade. Students are permitted only six (6) non-punitive drops during their undergraduate studies.

Non-punitive grades including in the maximum number of drops will be identified on the student’s transcript

with a grade of QI. One a student accumulates six QI grades, the only grade that may be awarded for a dropped

course is

a grade of QF, regardless of the student’s academic standing in the class. Drops processed while withdrawing

from the university will not be included in the maximum number of non-punitive drops.

A student may also drop a course with a grade of QI after the 12th week of the semester or the mid-point of the

summer session if the student is passing at the time the drop is processed. A student who is not passing after the

mid-point and drops a course will receive a grade of QF. Refer to the university website

https://www.tamuk.edu/registrar/drop_policy.html if you have questions or need additional information.

Specific Course Policies

Students are encouraged to ask questions and utilize my office hours. Remember that I am here for you and I

want you to succeed. Classroom attendance and participation is necessary and expected. Students are

responsible for understanding the Texas A&M University-Kingsville Class Attendance policy. Students must

notify the course instructor of any absence in writing, or the absence will be considered unexcused and make-up

work may not be allowed. A student with three unexcused will be referred to the Social Work Program

Director. A student having five unexcused absences will be dismissed from the course.

Students who fail to complete an assignment due to a valid, documented reason will be allowed to make-up the

assignment within 3 days of notification of late assignment. It is the student’s responsibility to email the

instructor the day the assignment is due and present written documentation (if requested) to the professor at or

before the next scheduled class. Only after these steps are followed will the student be allowed to make-up the

assignment.

All students are expected to follow the National Association of Social Workers’ Code of Ethics located at:

http://www.socialworkers.org/pubs/code/default.asp; additionally, adherence to expected to the Javelina Honor
