Course Expectations for Your Success

1. Show up! To support my success, I choose to be punctual and attend every scheduled class period in its

entirety. I understand that I will be warned for missing more than once during the semester, and may be

dropped from the course after the third absence. Students who are late for class will lose five attendance

points, and students who are absent will lose ten attendance points out of a total of 30 attendance points

2. Do the work! To support my success, I choose to do my very best work in preparing all of my assignments

and hand them in on time. Late work will be accepted for one week after the due date for half the possible

points. Late work will not be accepted after one week.

3. Participate actively! To support my success, I choose to stay mentally alert in every class,

offering my best comments, questions, and answers when appropriate. I choose to develop interest

and enthusiasm in the subject, be involved in class activities and treat other members of the class

with respect. 4. Participate actively and respectfully! In order to remain an El Camino College student and a member of

this classroom community, you must demonstrate respect for yourself and others. I will prevent any activity

that is interfering with the learning experience of all students. El Camino policy defines the behaviors listed

below as disruptive. Students who exhibit these behaviors or any others that create a distraction or

disruption in any course-related activity can lose participation points and/or be removed from this class:

After two absences you may be dropped from class which means you will earn a “W” on your transcript (your

permanent academic record).

If your third absence occurs after the drop deadline has passed, your work will no longer be accepted

which means you will earn a grade on your permanent academic record.

Everyone begins the semester with 30 attendance points; 10 points are subtracted for each absence and 5

points are subtracted for each tardy. Leaving class early without prior notice will be considered a tardy.

Case Study

The Late Paper:

Professor Freud announced in her syllabus for Psychology 101 that the final term paper had to be in her hands

by noon on December 18. No Student, she emphasized, would pass the course without a completed term paper

turned in on time. As the semester drew to a close, Kim had an A average in Professor Freud’s Psychology

class, and she began researching her term paper with excitement.

Arnold, Kim’s husband, felt threatened that he had only a high school diploma, while his wife was getting close

to her college degree. Arnold worked at a bakery, and his coworker, Phillip, began teasing that Kim would soon

dump Arnold for a college guy. That is when Arnold started accusing Kim of having an affair, and demanded

that she drop out of college. She told Arnold that he was being ridiculous. In fact, she said, a young man in

her history class had asked her out, but she refused. Instead of feeling better, Arnold became even angrier.

With Phillip continuing to provoke him, Arnold became sure Kim was having an affair, and he began telling her

everyday that she was stupid and would never get a degree.

Despite the tension at home, Kim finished her psychology term paper a day before it was due. Since Arnold

had hidden the car keys, she decided to take the bus to the college and turn in her psychology paper a day

early. Cindy, One of Kim’s Psychology class mates, drove up and invited Kim to join her and some other

students in an end-of-the-semester celebration. Kim told Cindy she was on her way to turn in her term paper,

and Cindy promised she would make sure Kim got it in on time. “I deserve some fun,” Kim decided, and hopped

into the car. The celebration went long into the night. Kim kept asking Cindy to take her home, but Cindy

always replied, “don’t be such a bore; have another drink. When Cindy finally took Kim home, it was 4:30 in the

morning. She sighed with relief when she found that Arnold had already fallen asleep.

When Kim woke up, it was 11:30 a.m., just 30 minutes before her term paper was due. She could make it to the

college on-time by car, so she shook Arnold and begged him to drive her. He just snapped, “Oh sure, you stay

out all night with your college friends. Then I am supposed to get up on my day off and drive you all over town.

Forget it.” “At least give me the keys”, she said, but Arnold merely rolled over and went back to sleep.

Panicked, Kim called Professor Freud’s office and told Mary, the secretary, that she was having car trouble.

“Don’t worry,” Mary assured Kim, “I’m sure Professor Freud won’t care if your term paper’s a little late. Just

be sure to have it here before she leaves at 1:00.” Relieved, Kim decided not to wake Arnold again; instead,

she took the bus.

At 12:15, Kim walked into Professor Freud’s Office with her term paper. Professor Freud said, “Sorry Kim,

You’re 15 minutes late.” She refused to accept Kim’s term paper, and gave her an F in the class.

Listed below are the characters in this story. Rank them in order of their responsibility for Kim’s failing

grade in Psychology 101. Give a different score to each character. Be prepared to explain your choices.

Most responsible - 123456 - Least responsible

___ Professor Freud, the teacher ___ Phillip, Arnold’s coworker

___ Kim, the psychology student ___ Cindy, Kim’s classmate

___ Arnold, Kim’s husband ___ Mary, Prof, Freud’s secretary

Diving deeper is there someone not mentioned in the story who may also bear responsibility for Kim’s failing

grade.
