Learning Objectives / Student Contract

There are ten learning objectives for this course.  They are listed and explained on page (vi) of your textbook. 

1)  Dress to enhance your credibility when you deliver your speech; avoid chewing gum; avoid hats as well when presenting since

      they can hide your facial expressions and limit eye contact.

2)  Respecting your classmates and I is non-negotiable. Points will be deducted from your final grade if you are disruptive. Silence

      your phone and avoid texting.   Give each speaker your undivided attention!

3)  All speech assignments must be completed to pass the class. 

4)  No lectern or outlines may be used while speaking; you may use index cards.

5)  Avoid entering the room while a classmate is speaking; wait for the applause and then enter.

6)  Speech outlines are due the day of your speech. You will receive a digital and paper model.

7)  All outlines, reflections, and audience analyses should be typed.

8)  Save all digital assignments & keep graded assignments that have been returned to you. If there is a question regarding your grade, no change will be made without the original evaluation document. 

 

9)  Assignments are due at the beginning of class.

10)  Generally, bring your notebook & writing utensil to class daily.

11) Late work, if accepted, is automatically penalized one letter grade.

12) Late speeches will be made-up as time allows and will be penalized a minimum of one letter grade, regardless of the reason why

       they are being presented late. Speeches are not allowed to be made-up unless you notify the instructor about the issue

       Depending on the circumstance, you may not be allowed to make up the speech at all. 

 13) Attendance in this course is critical and mandatory.  You are allowed 2 absences/tardies without penalty.  Get the contact    

        information of at least one classmate, so you can learn what you missed. Starting with your third absence, your grade             

        will be penalized 30 points per day. In dire emergencies, you may be allowed up to 2 documented, medically excused absences.  Tardies are any arrival 5 minutes or more after the class has started.  Leaving class before it is dismissed is the same as a tardy.  Tardies are penalized 15 points. Perfect attendance and/or punctuality will earn bonus points!!                         

 

Announcements

 

Regularly check for messages from me in the “Announcements” section of CANVAS. I will create weekly reminders of activities for the week.  In addition, if anything comes up that is important for you to know, that is where I will notify you.

 

Speech Night

 

All students will be required to attend Speech Night on Monday, December 4th at 7 pm.  It will take place at the Campus Center. Every section of R110 will choose a speaker to participate.  After 2 preliminary rounds, the 7 finalists will compete at the Center.  The top prize has been $1000. Second & third will also receive monetary awards.

 

Outside Speakers

 

You may complete an outside speaker’s report.  See me for details.  All outside speaker’s reports are due before the last class meeting.  Each extra report could be worth up to 10 points.

 

Accountability Grade

In many ways, we are all held accountable for our actions.  Each student will be given a grade which reflects how responsible and respectful s/he has been regarding classroom behavior. You are all adults; you will be treated as such.

 

Testing

We will be tested over each of the three sections of the book.  Each quiz will be online; you will be given a time window of a few days during which you can log onto CANVAS and take the quiz.  It will be timed with multiple choice questions. The final exam will be in a Testing Center.  While the exam will be the same format as the quizzes, you will not be allowed to use your book or notes.

 

Final Exam Policy Effective Fall 2017 -- effective for all sections of R110, Fall 2017

R110 is part of the core 30 hours that all freshmen are required to take at IUPUI. As a result R110 is required by the University to adhere to certain standards that other courses you take may not. The final exam in R110 is a component of these requirements as a result the following policies are strictly enforced and are expected to be adhered to.

 

Your final exam in R110:

 

• will consist of 100 multiple-choice questions
• will be comprehensive over the entire textbook
• will be administered through the IUPUI Testing Center
• will require you to register for a time to take the final exam during the assigned day of your final exam
• will require you to take the final exam at the time and on the day you register to take it

 

You will receive a web link from me that will be posted to an announcement on canvas. You will copy this web link into a browser and you will be directed to a registration web site maintained by the IUPUI Testing Center that allows you to register for a time during the day of your final exam in R110. You will be required to show up to the IUPUI Testing Center at that time and on that day to take your final exam.

 

You must make a reservation to take your final exam prior to delivering your final speech in R110. Failure to make a reservation to take your final exam in R110 prior to your final speech scheduled delivery will result in a zero grade for your final speech – the policy speech.

 

Failure to take your exam at the time and on the day that you register will result in zero credit for the final exam. The final exam and all sections of R110 constitute 10% of your final grade.

 

Regarding End-of-Semester Travel Plans:

You are expected to be present on campus and ready to take your final exam during finals week – finals week for R110 occurs in accordance to the schedule set by IUPUI. If you need to make travel arrangements please be advised not to leave campus prior to the start of finals week, Dec 12 - 14, 2017, and DO NOT leave campus prior to the day of your R110 final exam. Failure to adhere to this policy will result in zero credit for your final exam – you will not be given an option to take the final exam early. Please plan accordingly as there will be no particular exceptions granted to this rule.

 

When showing-up to the IUPUI Testing Center to take your final exam in R110:

 

• Be advised you are not allowed to take anything into the IUPUI Testing Center including cell phones
• you are required to have a current IUPUI student identification card
• there are lockers provided outside the IUPUI Testing Center but space is limited so plan accordingly
• be advise that while in the IUPUI Testing Center you are under strict surveillance – physically via cameras, IUPUI Testing Center proctors, and via a lockdown browser
• be advised that IUPUI's standards of academic misconduct govern all final exams including those in the IUPUI Testing Center
• once you begin the final exam you have two hours (120 minutes) to complete the exam

 

If you have any further questions regarding these policies please contact your instructor to get them answered early.  Please note that this policy has been approved by the Department of Communication Studies and the Directors of R110

R110 Textbook Policy:

The new edition, second edition, is the ONLY textbook available for R110 here at IUPUI.  Please note:

• every student is required to purchase a textbook
• all material in our textbook is intellectual property and  is under copyright by the Board of Trustees of Indiana University
• no portion of the R110 textbook should be reproduced in any way without prior permission from the copyright holder
• photocopying of rubrics or ANY portion of the book, even only a page or two, DOES NOT constitute fair use
• any use stemming from the reproduction of any of the R110 textbook’s material is a violation of US copyright laws and constitutes theft

 

If a student has purchased a first edition copy of the textbook, the student needs to return it and purchase a second edition.  The IUPUI bookstore at Barnes and Noble have over 1700 copies of our textbook in stock and ready for purchase.

Finally, students should realize that our textbook is not only required but is a great textbook and compared to the other textbooks they will purchase throughout their college careers it is a good bargain at its price point – the previous textbook used (Lucas – currently a new copy of the book lists for $151.00 on Amazon) is a much more expensive book. 

In addition, there is not comparison on quality.  The IUPUI textbook is built around assignments as they pertain to the course you are in, R110 at IUPUI.  It is written by local, IUPUI scholars/professors/researchers/experts in each field as each section/chapter pertains to respective information.  For example, the chapter on research is written by Bill Orme, an expert in information science and a librarian at IUPUI.  Another example is the chapter on listening is written by Dr. Beth Goering, an expert in listening who has both researched and published on the issue of listening and how humans process verbal information.

The R110 textbook for your basic public speaking class is by far the best public speaking textbook on the market. 

 

Civility Statement

As a member of the community of this class, you will be expected to speak and behave in a way that promotes civility.  By practicing civility, you help make our learning environment a place where each of us feels comfortable asking questions, exploring ideas, and experimenting with new ways of seeing, knowing, and being. A civility statement is designed to promote the free exchange of ideas by making participants feel safe to express themselves and explore issues in a spirit of inquiry.  In order to promote civility, you are expected to: Treat each other and your instructor with respect Appreciate that everyone has something to contribute Avoid offensive language and gestures Refrain from side conversations when others are speaking Allow others to speak without interruption Demonstrate care and concern for others Keep an open mind Use cell phones or other devices only for class work Use respectful language in your online communications Maintain self-control Appreciate differences Be inclusive

FLAGS

This semester I will be using IU's FLAGS System to provide real-time feedback on your performance in this course. Periodically throughout the semester I will be entering data on factors such as your class attendance, participation, and success with coursework, among other things. This information will provide feedback on how you are faring in the course and offer you suggestions on how you might be able to improve your performance. You will be able to access this information in the student center: One > Student Services page > Student Center > My Academics and Grades > My Grades.

FERPA

 

       The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. These rights include: The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the University receives a request for access. A student should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The University official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the University official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.
       The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student's privacy rights under FERPA. A student who wishes to ask the University to amend a record should write the University official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be changed. If the University decides not to amend the record as requested, the University will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student's right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
      The right to provide written consent before the University discloses personally identifiable information from the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. The University discloses education records without a student's prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the University has contracted as its agent to provide a service instead of using University employees or officials (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for the University. Upon request, the University may disclose education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. Finally, "public information" may be released freely unless the student files the appropriate form requesting that certain public information not be released. This form is available at the Office of the Registrar. Public information is limited to name; address; e-mail address; phone; major field of study; dates of attendance; admission or enrollment status; campus; school, college, or division; class standing; degrees and awards; activities; sports; and athletic information.
     The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Indiana University to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is: Family
Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20202-5901
