Teaching Methods/Technology
The class will be discussion based and research intensive. We will use the best technology available to us. The class will also include lectures, focused discussions, specific readings, research assignments, in class reviews, written summaries and cumulative evaluations.
Class Attendance Policy
Students and faculty should realize that one of the most vital aspects of a college experience is attendance and punctuality in the classroom and that the value of this experience cannot be exclusively measured by testing procedures alone. Should the occasion arise in which a faculty member is unavoidably detained for a class, students must wait a minimum of 15 minutes before leaving. If students find it necessary to miss a class, it is their responsibility to arrange with the instructor to make up all work missed. Instructors must devise their own attendance policies, have them approved by the Dean of the College, include them in the course syllabi, and explain them to students. Continuation in class for a student who misses more than 20% of class time during any one semester, whether excused or unexcused, may be possible only after consultation with the faculty member involved and Dean of the College.
Writing Across the Curriculum
This course provides a means of addressing student writing proficiency. Students will keep a journal reviewing the major class readings, class reflections and the final exam.
Cultural Diversity and Global Perspectives
The wonder of a liberal arts education is a search for the truth. In this class we will follow that wonder in all its richness and possibility, regardless of where those paths may lead us.

Critical Thinking
Alice Lloyd College has a goal to improve the critical thinking abilities of its students. The College has adopted Paul and Elder’s (2007) definition of critical thinking, which defines critical thinking as, “the art of analyzing and evaluating thinking with a view to improving it” (p. 4).
Source: Paul, R., & Elder, L. (2007). The Miniature Guide to Critical Thinking Concepts and Tools (4th ed.). Tomales, CA: Foundation for Critical Thinking Press.
Dress Code
Alice Lloyd College has a long-standing tradition of emphasizing development of the total person and a commitment to personal and community enhancement. As members of the campus community, students are expected to dress modestly and appropriately for various occasions.
The College recognizes that “modest” or “appropriate” is often loosely defined in society at large. Therefore, the following guidelines are offered to assist students in choosing suitable dress:
Professional Day (Tuesday) Dress: Professional dress will be required of all students on central campus until 2:00 p.m. and for all convocation programs. Central campus includes all of the campus buildings with the exception of the gym, maintenance building, fitness center, and the residence halls.
Plagiarism Statement: Plagiarism is the act of using another person’s ideas or expression in your writing without acknowledging the source… In short, to plagiarize is to give the impression that you have written or thought something you have in fact borrowed from someone else. Plagiarism often carries severe penalties, ranging from failure in a course to expulsion from school.
The most blatant form of plagiarism is to repeat as your own someone else’s sentences, more or less verbatim… Other form of plagiarism include repeating someone else’s particularly apt phrase without appropriate acknowledgement, paraphrasing another person’s argument as your own, and presenting another’s line of thing as though it were your own…
