I recommend scheduling a time to watch the videos, much as if it were a scheduled lecture. The bonus here is you get to pick the time and PJs are welcome! Online courses require more planning on your part to stay on top of the content. 2. Online Set Up: eLearning is the primary means by which I will share information with students.

PSY /CLDP 3336: Infancy Fall 2022 members of the class are expected to check the eLearning site associated with this class on a regular basis, at least twice a week. eLearning is organized by week. Each week’s module is organized into 3 components . “Prepare,” “Learn” and “Your Learning Products”. PREPARE : Consists of assigned materials you should read/watch prior to watching lecture videos and completing assignments. LEARN: This is “class time”, including lecture videos and assigned content. It is posted in order, start at the top! Lecture outlines are at the end of this folder. LEARNING PRODUCTS: (AKA Homework!) These are your graded assignments for the week, including Participation assignments, chapter quizzes and essays. Failure to complete these assignments will result in zeros. Additionally some topics may have “ Supplement ” folders. The materials posted here are NOT ASSIGNED, but are offered for students who need alternate explanations or more information on a topic. ANY materials posted on our eLearning site may be used on chapter essays and quizzes. 3. Assignments and Assessments: a. Online Discussion. Each week your instructor will post a discussion topic. You should respond to the topic yourself and comment on at least 2 different classmates posts. Discussion posts are due Mondays at 11:59 PM. There will be NO makeups for missed discussions. The lowest 2 discussion grades will be dropped. The remaining grades will contribute equally to the 5-point total. A reply should be in the one or more of the following formats 1. A compliment, e.g., "I like how... because...," I like that... because..." 2. A comment, e.g., "I agree that... because...," "I disagree that... because…" 3. A connection, e.g., "I have also read that...," "I have also thought that...," "That reminds me of…" 4. A question, e.g., "I wonder why...," "I wonder how…” b. Online Participation Assignments. As a way to facilitate staying on top of the materials covered in assigned readings and video lectures class participation assignments will be given online. Online participation assignments are due Mondays at 11:59 PM. The lowest 2 assignment grades will be dropped. The remaining assignment grades will contribute equally to the 15% total i. One extra opportunity will be provided at the end of the semester to replace a 3rd low/ missing assignment. This will be the ONLY makeup opportunity offered (outside of DOS involvement). More information will be posted the last weeks of class on eLearning. ii. There will be NO additional makeups or grace periods for missed participation assignment opportunities. c. Source Comparison Paper. As a student of developmental psychology your job for this assignment is to assess the accuracy of a popular press article by citing peer-reviewed research. The grading rubric, along with further instructions is posted on eLearning. There will also be a student paper sample from a previous semester. The paper should be in APA format. The paper PSY /CLDP 3336: Infancy - Atchison 5 MYTHBUSTERS: • Myth: I can email Dr. Atchison for an extension/makeup on one of the above assignments if I am sick or have a conflict • FALSE • Each of the assignments has a drop policy in place to protect you for when something comes up! The drop policy isn’t there to drop low grades (but it can do that too). It is there to drop missing grades. Your life will intervene in this class, we just schedule it into the syllabus!! • NOTE: If you have extreme circumstance that is affecting all of your classes, please contact me or the Dean of Students Office.

PSY /CLDP 3336: Infancy Fall 2022 enough to warrant the approval of your petition. You must have a signed note from the physician saying that you unable to submit your assignment because of your physical or mental condition. Elective medical or dental appointments are never excused. All documentation relevant to your make-up petition must be submitted via email ASAP after the missed assessment, but no later than when you return to classes (virtually or face-to-face.) If your documentation is late or incomplete, I will not accept it and your petition will not be considered. After assessing the evidence, I will notify you by e-mail as to whether your case warrants permitting a make-up. If it does not, you will receive a grade of 0 for the missed essay. Falsification of materials related to makeup work is considered a violation of the Student Code of Conduct and will result in a minimum of a failing grade on the essay for which the documentation was submitted. E. Chapter Quizzes: A. Timing: Quizzes are offered in eLearning on Mondays (24-hour window). You have 15 mins to answer all 10 questions. Quizzes are open book/open note, but only hard-copy materials can be used. No devices will be permitted during quizzes. NO QUIZ SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED LATE. B. Grades. Your quiz grade will be posted on eLearning. The lowest 2 chapter quizzes will be dropped. Your quiz average will be worth 30% of your final grade. A.Make-up assessment policy: The first 2 quizzes that you fail to take, regardless of the reason, will serve as the dropped quiz grades. If you miss a third quiz, you may make up the quiz only if the reason for missing the quiz is due to an extreme and unforeseen circumstance (e.g., car accident, hospitalization, death of an immediate family member). In order to make up an assessment for these reasons, you must petition to make it up by thoroughly documenting the reason for your absence. This documentation includes a typewritten explanation of reason for your absence and copies of any supporting official materials which must have the date, the name of the issuing party (e.g., your physician), and a contact phone number. This must also clearly indicate that you were unable to take the assessment on the regular dates, according to some relevant authority. As an example, a bill from a physician’s office showing that you were there around the time of an assessment is not enough to warrant the approval of your petition. You must have a signed note from the physician saying that you were hospitalized or ordered to stay home from school and work on the days of the assessment because of your physical or mental condition. Elective medical or dental appointments are never excused. All documentation relevant to your make-up petition must be submitted vial email ASAP after the missed assessment, but no later than when you return to classes (virtually or face-to-face.) If your PSY /CLDP 3336: Infancy - Atchison 7 MYTHBUSTERS: • Myth: I can quote a source in my essays or source comparison paper if it is properly cited. • FALSE • I want to see your understanding of the content, which means it should be in your own words AND properly cited • Myth: If I don’t use quotes, it is not a quote. • FALSE • Worse, then it is an un-cited quote which is both a violation of your assessment contract and PLAGIARISM!

PSY /CLDP 3336: Infancy Fall 2022 documentation is late or incomplete, I will not accept it and your petition will not be considered. After assessing the evidence, I will notify you by e-mail as to whether your case warrants permitting a make-up. If it does not, you will receive a grade of 0 for the missed quiz. Falsification of materials related to makeup work is considered a violation of the Student Code of Conduct and will result in a minimum of a failing grade on the quiz for which the documentation was submitted. C. Assessment Contract: Chapter quizzes fall under the ethical rules discussed in the Assessment Contract. 4. Slide Presentations and Outlines: Lecture outlines of the slide text are provided in the “Learn” folder, but copies of the slides are not offered due to copyright laws on distributing images. 5. Email. For security reasons, email communications between instructors and students regarding this class will be conducted using a UTD email account. When sending email messages related to this course, please include PSY or CLDP 3336 in the subject line. 6. eLearning. eLearning is the primary means by which I will share information with students. All members of the class are expected to check the eLearning site associated with this class on a regular basis, at least twice a week. a. How eLearning calculates your grade: I have put the above grading and drop policies into eLearning “Weighted Total” category. At the beginning of the semester this means that eLearning will drop even high grades, because those are the only grades there. As you get more variety in grades other grades will drop. For example, if a higher grade comes in, previous lower grades will be dropped instead. Conversely, if lower grades come in (like not completing an assignment/essay/quiz) previous grades that were being dropped will be calculated into your course grade. What this means for the end of the semester if you decide not to complete any assignment or assessment your current grade could go down. The new zero will be the lowest grade, and a previously dropped grade will now be calculated in your course grade. Additionally, eLearning has slightly different breakdowns for +/- grades than I have above. When I go to submit final grades, I will make corrections to those in Orion (not eLearning) to properly apply those policies. 7. Extra Credit: There is no extra credit for the course. NOTE: All written assignments (papers, exams, questions) are to be typed, double-spaced, 1” margins, 12 point font, and include the student’s name as it appears on the class roster, unless you have previously registered a preferred name with the instructor. No quotes are permitted without prior instructor approval Class Participation Regular class participation is expected. Students who fail to participate in class regularly are inviting scholastic difficulty. A portion of the grade for this course is directly tied to your participation in this PSY /CLDP 3336: Infancy - Atchison 8 MYTHBUSTERS: • Myth: Calculations for the final course grade don’t happen until the end of the semester. • FALSE • eLearning is attempting to calculate your final course grade from day 1. Your course grade is visible at any point in the semester.

PSY /CLDP 3336: Infancy Fall 2022 Server Unavailability or Other Technical Difficulties The University is committed to providing a reliable learning management system to all users. However, in the event of any unexpected server outage or any unusual technical difficulty which prevents students from completing a time sensitive assessment activity, the instructor will provide an appropriate accommodation based on the situation. Students should immediately report any problems to the instructor and also contact the online eLearning Help Desk . The instructor and the eLearning Help Desk will work with the student to resolve any issues at the earliest possible time. Accommodations will only be considered with an incident number from the eLearning Help Desk. Comet Creed This creed was voted on by the UT Dallas student body in 2014.
