YOUR COURSE ABCs

ACADEMIC ADVISING: Students should contact and meet with their Graduate Academic Advisor (Sycamore Hall 206 and (940) 565-2205) at least one time per long semester (Fall & Spring). It is important to update your degree plan on a regular basis to ensure that you are on track for a timely graduation. It is also imperative that students have paid for all enrolled classes. Please check your online schedule daily to insure you have not been dropped for non-payment of any amount. Students unknowingly have been dropped from classes for various reasons such as financial aid, schedule change fees, parking fees, etc. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure all payments have been made.

ACADEMIC CALENDAR: The 2018-19 Academic Calendar with all UNT deadlines is available at

https://www.unt.edu/catalogs/2018-19/calendar.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, the use of any unauthorized assistance in taking quizzes, tests, or exams; dependence upon the aid of sources beyond those authorized by the instructor, the acquisition of tests or other material belonging to a faculty member, dual submission of a paper or project, resubmission of a paper or project to a different class without express permission from the instructors, or any other act designed to give a student an unfair advantage. Plagiarism includes the paraphrase or direct quotation of published or unpublished works without full and clear acknowledgment of the author/source. Academic dishonesty will bring about disciplinary action which may include expulsion from the university. This is explained in the UNT Student Handbook. Any form of academic dishonesty in this course is subject to result in a failing grade for the course.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY: The codes of ethics from the Society of Professional Journalists, American Advertising Federation and Public Relations Society of America address truth and honesty. The Mayborn School of Journalism embraces these tenets and believes that academic dishonesty of any kind – including plagiarism and fabrication – is incongruent with all areas of journalism. The school’s policy aligns with UNT Policy 18.1.16 and requires reporting any act of academic dishonesty to the Office for Academic Integrity for investigation. If the student has a previous confirmed offense (whether the first offense was in the journalism school or another university department) and the student is found to have committed another offense, the school will request the additional sanction of removing the student from the Mayborn School of Journalism. The student may appeal to the Office for Academic Integrity, which ensures due process and allows the student to remain in class pending the appeal.

ACADEMIC ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE: Understanding the academic organizational structure and appropriate chain of command is important when resolving class-related or advising issues. When you need help or problems resolved, please visit (in this order) with your professor, your graduate academic advisor, the Mayborn Director of the Graduate Institute and the Dean, if needed.

ACCESS TO INFORMATION: As you know, your access point for business and academic services at UNT occurs within the my.unt.edu site  www.my.unt.edu. If you do not regularly check EagleConnect or link it to your favorite e-mail account, please so do, as this is where you learn about job and internship opportunities, MSOJ events, scholarships, and other important information. The website that explains Eagle Connect and how to forward your email: http://eagleconnect.unt.edu/

ATTENDANCE REQUIRED: Mandatory if you are to keep up with the material in this course. Please let me know ahead of time (by cell phone) if you must be absent, and clear the reason with me. If you miss a class meeting, you must arrange your visit with the visiting speaker listed above, and then confirm with me via

e-mail after you have visited with that person. I will then confirm your visit with that person before giving you credit for that class meeting. Failure to meet any of the other requirements of the course on time can result in a failing or incomplete grade in the course. I reserve the right to drop from the course any student who does not attend the first class day of the semester.

BLACKBOARD ACCESS: To gain access to this class go online to unt.edu, click on Blackboard at the top of the page, and enter your EUID and your password.

BOOK REPORTS: Each book you read for this class must be approved by the professor and will be done so when you post the titles online by Sept. 9. Do not consider them approved until you get a confirmation from the professor. Books cannot be books read for another college class. Two students may not do reports on the same book or article. First come, first served.

You should first consult the readings list for this class when choosing your books. To give you more freedom to develop your individual career goals, I will not restrict the class to only this list.

All book reports must be between 500-1,000 words (excluding notes). Each book report should include at least five citations of sources, including the book you are reviewing. Possible sources include book reviews, author biographies, surveys of the field, and journal and magazine articles about the book’s topic.

The reports should be written in a narrative form, not an outline. Be sure to properly cite references to the book itself and any other sources you use.

The narrative should include:

· A heading with your name, name of the book and author, and date

the book report is due.

· An introduction explaining what the book is about.

· A description of the author, and an evaluation of the author’s qualifications to write the book.

· An evaluation of the author’s research methods, sources of information, and style of writing.

· If possible, a summary of what another reviewer wrote about the book.

· At least one direct quote from the book.

· A conclusion stating your analysis of the value of the book, including if you would recommend it.

· Different writing styles and formats with each report.

In each report you must meet the Grading criteria posted online under Main Discussion. The reports will be graded based on the written and oral components. You will lose points for not following the above directions and those under the Main Discussion. You will also lose points for any grammar, spelling and punctuation errors. Spell check didn’t catch it is not an excuse. Edit your work closely each before submitting each online.

Experiment with different formats when writing each of your reports. Utilize as many opportunities as you can to interpret and relate different parts and facts within your reports. You will be judged on your writing ability, accuracy and attention to style.

You will be given a failing grade in the course if there is any plagiarism in any of your work.

You must present a summary of all of your work to the class on Nov. 17. The reports are limited to five (5) minutes with time for comments and questions. You are encouraged to use creative ways of presenting the material such as photographs, video or audio, etc. Exercise common sense and avoid the use of explicit videos or photographs that would be offensive to others.

CITATIONS: All citations will be prepared with consistent application: The Associated Press 2014 Stylebook, AND the American Psychological Association (APA) style manual (6th edition) AND The Chicago Manual of Style (15th edition). You must use and state which of the three styles (AP, APA or Chicago) you are using as a heading to your Citations at the end of each of your six (6) required Book Reports. You must use the AP Stylebook for your first two Book Reports, the APA Style Manual for Book Reports 3-4, and the Chicago Manual for Book Reports 5-6. NONE OF THE

5 CITATIONS ASSIGNED EACH TIME CAN BE DUPLICATES OF THE OTHERS used with each Book Report.

CLASS DISCUSSION: Be prepared to ask questions and discuss any topic or any part of the course at any time. You will be graded on your participation and final presentation.

CLASSROOM POLICIES: Student behavior that interferes with an instructor’s ability to conduct a class or other students’ opportunity to learn is unacceptable and disruptive and will not be tolerated in any instructional forum at UNT. Students engaging in unacceptable behavior will be directed to leave the classroom, and the instructor may refer the student to the Center for Student Rights and Responsibilities to consider whether the student’s conduct violated the Code of Student Conduct. The University’s expectations for student conduct apply to all instructional forums, including university and electronic classrooms, labs, discussion groups, field trips, etc. The Code of Student Conduct can be found at http://www.unt.edu/csrr/student_conduct/index.html. The Mayborn School of Journalism requires that students respect and maintain all university property. Students will be held accountable through disciplinary action for any intentional damages they cause in classrooms. (e.g., writing on tables). Disruptive behavior is not tolerated (e.g., arriving late, leaving early, sleeping, talking on the phone, texting or game playing, making inappropriate comments, ringing cellular phones/beepers, dressing inappropriately).

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES: Since 1969, the UNT Department of Journalism (it became the Frank W. and Sue Mayborn School of Journalism effective September 1, 2009) has been accredited by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communication. This national accreditation also extends to the Frank W. Mayborn Graduate Institute of Journalism, the only accredited professional master’s program in Texas. About one-fourth of all journalism and mass communication programs in the United States are accredited by ACEJMC. National accreditation enhances your education here, because it certifies that the school and graduate institute adhere to many standards established by the council. Among these standards are student learning outcomes, covered by journalism courses in all concentrations. You are expected to experience the following learning outcomes in this course:

1. demonstrate an understanding of the history and role of professionals and institutions in shaping communications;

2. demonstrate an understanding of the diversity of groups in a global society in relationship to communications;

3. work ethically in pursuit of truth, accuracy, fairness and diversity;

4. think critically, creatively and independently;

5. conduct research and evaluate information by methods appropriate to the communications professions in which they work;

6. write correctly and clearly in forms and styles appropriate for the communications professions, audiences and purposes they serve;

7. critically evaluate their own work and that of others for accuracy and fairness, clarity, appropriate style and grammatical correctness;

COURSE SAFETY: Students in the Mayborn School of Journalism are urged to use proper safety procedures and guidelines. While working in laboratory sessions, students are expected and required to identify and use property safety guidelines in all activities requiring lifting, climbing, walking on slippery surfaces, using equipment and tools, handling chemical solutions and hot and cold products. Students should be aware that the University of North Texas is not liable for injuries incurred while students are participating in class activities. All students are encouraged to secure adequate insurance coverage in the event of accidental injury. Students who do not have insurance coverage should consider obtaining Student Health Insurance for this insurance program. Brochures for this insurance are available in the UNT Health and Wellness Center on campus. Students who are injured during class activities may seek medial attention at the UNT Health and Wellness Center at rates that are reduced compared to other medical facilities. If you have an insurance plan other than Student Health Insurance at UNT, please be sure that your plan covers treatment at this facility. If you choose not to go to the UNT Health and Wellness Center, you may be transported to an emergency room at a local hospital. You are responsible for expenses incurred there.

DEADLINES: Everything due online for the course must be posted by 11:55 p.m. on the dates noted.

For everything else, see dates and times above.

DISABILITY ACCOMMODATIONS: The University of North Texas and the Mayborn School of Journalism make reasonable academic accommodation for students with disabilities. Students seeking accommodation must first register with the Office of Disability Accommodation (ODA) to verify their eligibility. If a disability is verified, the ODA will provide you with an accommodation letter to be delivered to faculty to begin a private discussion regarding your specific needs in a course. You may request accommodations at any time, however, ODA notices of accommodation should be provided as early as possible in the semester to avoid any delay in implementation. Note that students must obtain a new letter of accommodation for every semester and must meet with each faculty member prior to implementation in each class. Students are strongly encouraged to discuss letters of accommodation with the faculty member privately online or digitally to protect the privacy of the student. For additional information see the Office of Disability Accommodation website at http://www.unt.edu/oda. You may also contact them by phone at 940.565.4323.

DROPPING AN ONLINE COURSE: A student needing to drop an online course should send their instructor an email with their name, student ID#, reason for dropping a course, and date you are sending the email. This must be done prior to the UNT deadline to drop a course. If approved, the instructor will contact the MSOJ Graduate Office in GAB 207. It is your responsibility to turn in the completed drop slip to the UNT Registrar’s office before the deadline to make sure you have been dropped from the course with a “W”.  If you are taking only online courses and your instructor approves the drop, please contact the Graduate Advisor at the Mayborn Graduate Office for instructions.

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION & PROCEDURES: UNT uses a system called Eagle Alert to quickly notify you with critical information in an event of emergency (i.e., severe weather, campus closing, and health and public safety emergencies like chemical spills, fires, or violence).  The system sends voice messages (and text messages upon permission) to the phones of all active faculty staff, and students.  Please make certain to update your phone numbers at www.my.unt.edu.  Some helpful emergency preparedness actions include: 1) ensuring you know the evacuation routes and severe weather shelter areas, determining how you will contact family and friends if phones are temporarily unavailable, and identifying where you will go if you need to evacuate the Denton area suddenly. In the event of a university closure, your instructor will communicate with you through Blackboard regarding assignments, exams, field trips, and other items that may be impacted by the closure.

FINAL ASSIGNMENT: You must post all of your required work (except for your most recent photo and resume) for the semester in the Final Assignment icon under Assignments by 11:55 p.m. on

Nov. 25. This allows you the chance to make last-minute changes in all of your materials. This would include your:

· Updated Photo & Resume

· Final Digital Portfolio (including link)

· Six (6) Book Reports

· Evaluation of Classmates’ Book Choices

· Evaluation of Assigned Books Reports 1-5

· Class Presentation material

Title them the same as above in a separate file for each title.

F-1 Students taking Distance Education Courses: To comply with immigration regulations, an F-1 visa holder within the United States may need to engage in an on-campus experiential component for this course. This component (which must be approved in advance by the instructor) can include activities such as taking an on-campus exam, participating in multiple on-campus lecture or lab activity, or other on-campus experience integral to the completion of this course.

If such an on-campus activity is required, it is the student’s responsibility to do the following:

(1) Submit a written request to the instructor for an on-campus experiential component within one week of the start of the course. (2) Ensure that the activity on campus takes place and the instructor documents it in writing with a notice sent to the International Advising Office. The UNT International Advising Office has a form available that you may use for this purpose.

Because the decision may have serious immigration consequences, if an F-1 student is unsure about his or her need to participate in an on-campus experiential component for this course, students should contact the UNT International Advising Office (telephone 940-565-2195 or email international@unt.edu) to get clarification before the one-week deadline.

Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress: A student must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) to continue to receive financial aid. If a student does not maintain the required standards, the student may lose financial aid eligibility.

If at any point you consider dropping this or any other course, please be advised that the decision to do so has the potential to affect your current and future financial aid eligibility. Please visit http://financial aid.unt.edu/satisfactory-academic progress-requirements for more information about financial aid Satisfactory Academic Progress. It may be wise for you to schedule a meeting with your MSOJ academic advisor or visit the Student Financial Aid and Scholarships office to discuss dropping a course before doing so.

GOTOMEETING.COM: UNT has adopted gotomeeting.com for use with Blackboard. As a student in this course you have automatic and free access to this online meeting service for class purposes only, and you will be furnished the procedure to access it. Ahead of each meeting you will be furnished the correct meeting ID#.

· Withdrawal of the student from the class, initiated by the professor;

· An “F” in the course;

A combination of these penalties may also be used. If you need more information or have questions about plagiarism, visit the Center for Student Rights and Responsibilities.

RE-TAKING FAILED JOURNALISM CLASSES: Students will not be allowed to automatically take a failed journalism course more than two times. Once you have failed a journalism course twice, you will not be allowed to enroll in that course for 12 months. Once you have waited 12 months after failing a course twice, you may make an appeal to the professor teaching the course to be allowed to enroll a third time.

Student Evaluation of Teaching Effectiveness: Student evaluation of teaching effectiveness is a requirement for all organized classes at UNT. This short survey will be made available at the end of the semester to provide students a chance to comment on how this class is taught.  Student feedback is important and an essential part of participation in this course.
