Most people write 4-6 paragraphs for their answer. See schedule for due dates. The first take home and guidelines for answering them are in the first week s reader. Examples of answers are on the Wikispaces site. Reflections Due: See list of reflections below. Due dates are there and on schedule. No late work. We talk about them in small groups the day after they re due. Content: Read and follow the directions for the reflection. Write up at least 3 paragraphs in response to the instructions. Then reflect on how the experience relates to the concepts in that chapter. How do you understand those concepts differently? How do those concepts explain the nature of the whole theory better? Keep in mind that most of the reflections should be started a couple of days ahead of time. Format: Paragraph format. Graded: To get an A: Requires reflection on the concepts the exercise is about. To get a C: Follow the directions for the reflections.

5 Introduction to Personality page 5 Attendance & Participation Grade: Supporting or Detracting from Other s Learning I adjust the final grade from +0.3 to 0.3 based on attendance and participation. If you wildly violate the expectations below, the change may be greater. Individually, make ups and other arrangements will be made based upon your pattern of behavior. As a class, it will be used in determining whether your test grades are curved or not. Attendance will be taken regularly at the beginning of the quarter, then occasionally throughout the rest of the quarter. I am looking for a pattern of behavior. Underlying idea: I expected you to work with your classmates for their benefit as well as yours. Things that help: You get credit for helping develop other classmates thinking, by applying concepts to their experiences, by comparing and contrasting experiences, and the like. You can do this by asking questions as well providing answers. Being prepared when you come; keeping group on track; do overnight handouts; ask questions about what you don t understand based on reading. Things that don t: missed days; coming late; being disruptive when late; talking loud enough and often to disrupt people around you; getting group off track Expectations: I expect that you show up. I design the preparatory assignments and worksheets with an idea about how you will think in order to do them, not just what marks you will make on the paper. Try to see what you re supposed to be thinking about. I expect that you make an honest effort to get most or all the work done most or all of the days of class. I expect you to come even when you haven t done all or any of the work. I expect to question you to see what you understand and can do. If it shows a weakness or area you need to improve on, I ask that you take that as feedback to improve, rather than an attack on your ability as a student. I know that is hard. I expect that your lives are complex and that school is not always your first priority. I expect that sometimes this class is your first priority, over other classes and other parts of your life: job, friends, and family. I expect that when it s not a priority you ll still be thinking about how you ll get an idea of what s going on and have a plan for completing your work, and to communicate your best idea at the time to me. Call ahead of time, even if it s the morning that the exam is due. Leave a message with your current plan. I expect students who earn A s (3.5 and above) to be pondering the ideas discussed in class and discuss them with friends, co-workers, family, etc. Access and Disability Services (ACS) Your experience in this class is important to me, and it is the policy and practice of Pierce College to create inclusive and accessible learning environments consistent with federal and state law. If you experience barriers based on disability, please seek a meeting with the Access and Disability Services (ADS) manager to discuss and address them. If you have already established accommodations with the ADS manager, please bring your approved accommodations (green sheet) to me at your earliest convenience so we can discuss your needs in this course. ADS offers resources and coordinates reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. Reasonable accommodations are established through an interactive process between you and the ADS manager, and I am available to help facilitate them in this class. If you have not yet established services through ADS, but have a temporary or permanent disability that requires accommodations (this can include but not be limited to; mental health, attention-related, learning, vision, hearing, physical or health impacts), you are encouraged to contact ADS at (Fort Steilacoom) or (Puyallup).

6 Introduction to Personality page 6 If your response to "I'm not sure what we're supposed to be taking notes on" is to stop and wait for it to become clear, you'll have difficulties in this class. I give you different types of information about what will be important; I expect you to try to piece it together and ask questions based on that. Don't simply write down what's on the board. The information on the left hand side is a guide, but I expect you to write the examples and explanations we are discussing, whether it's a fellow student or me. Good, rich examples will have 2, 3 or 4 concepts embodied in them. Let me know if you aren't seeing them. Grading Policies 1. Back-up Curve : There is a back-up curve that will be used only if the class does poorly in terms of final course grades, i.e., it will be used only if more than half the class receives a course grade below 2.5. In this event, everyone s course grade will be curved up until 50% of the class receives a 2.5 or higher. If 50% or more of the class is getting a 2.5 or above, then no curve will be used. 2. Incompletes: Only students with special circumstances beyond their control who have obtained permission from me are eligible for a grade of Incomplete. 3. Withdrawing: You may withdraw from the class without it showing on your transcript through the end of the 3rd week of classes. After that, it will show up on the transcript. The last day to withdraw is in the 7th week of classes. The W grade is not used in GPA calculations. When in doubt, communicate with me. 3. Academic Honesty: Cases of cheating plagiarism, or other forms of academic dishonesty are unacceptable in this course and are subject to disciplinary action. 4. Emergency Procedures: For life-threatening emergencies call 911 and then Campus Safety. In the event of an emergency evacuation, gather all personal belongings and leave the building using the nearest safe exit. Be prepared to be outside for a minimum of an hour and stand a minimum of 200 feet from any building or structure. Do not attempt to re-enter the building until instructed. Should a class be cancelled, it is your responsibility to keep up on reading, homework and deliverable assignments.
