Classroom Policies
Attendance
Attendance is mandatory. During each class meeting class work, a quiz, or test will be given. If you miss this work you are counted as absent. Quizzes cannot be made up. If you miss more than four classes, you will be dropped. If you stop attending class after the official drop date, I will have to fail you.
If you intend to drop it is your responsibility to do so before the official deadline.
Class Etiquette and Participation
Class participation is required. There will be many opportunities to discuss material in class and to dialogue with other students when appropriate. There will be class work, quizzes and written work that cannot be made up if you are not in class.You must have your reading done before you come to class. If you do not, you will be asked to sit in the back and finish your reading and will not be able to take the quiz for that day. You will also be expected to make comments on the class blog about your reading assignments, the lectures or films seen in class or as related to homework.
No food or drinks in the classroom. No cell phones. You will be asked to leave if you bring a cell phone, PDA or any other electronic device that is a distraction.You will be expected to follow DeAnza’s College official policy of mutual respect.

Class Work/Projects
Class work will be assigned and done in class either individually or in groups. It cannot be made up if it is missed.
The Project is an ongoing assignment which will be due toward the end of the quarter and will be discussed more in class.
Plagiarism
According to the MLA Handbook, “To use another person’s ideas or expressions in your writing without acknowledging the sources is to plagiarize. Plagiarism, then, constitutes intellectual theft.” (p 30)If you do not follow DeAnza’s Colllege official policy of academic integrity you will be failed from the course and turned into the college.
CHEATING AND PLAGIARISM will not be tolerated.
Quizzes and Tests
There will be two exams given in this course, one midterm and one final. There will be ten quizzes. Missed quizzes due to tardiness or absenteeism will result in a ‘zero’ grade for that particular quiz and may not be made up.
Late Work/Missed Exams
I do not accept late work. I do not allow for makeup exams, unless you speak with me personally before the exam date.You may not take the final early. Missed quizzes cannot be made up.
Grading
The course grading will be determined as follows:
Midterm 150
Quizzes 100
Class work 50
Blog comments 50
Project 100
Final 150
Total Possible 600
100 – 98% = A+
97 – 93% = A
92 – 90% = A-
89 – 88% =B+
87 – 83% =B
83 – 80% =B-
77 – 70% =C
79 – 78% =C+

Extra Credit
Every student begins the semester with 20 extra credit points. You may keep these points by attending class. Ten points are lost for each absence. If you have extra credit attendance points at the end of the semester, this is to your advantage. The rounding down policy will not apply to you - your grade percentage for the course will be rounded up (74.5 is 75 but 74.4 is still 74).

I knew of Helen Keller and the difficulties she overcame to be a successful woman. However, I had no idea how much care and humanity she forwarded to the U.S. Veterans in supporting them through their disabilities they suffered during war. I am a great supporter of our troops and I admire Ms Keller even that much more.
ReplyDeleteI really have never heard of Helen Keller until recently, watching this clip it amazes me how someone who is blind and deaf can become so influencel to our country. I really admire her struggle and how she still lived and loved life like their was nothing to it.
ReplyDeleteI remember watching a film about Helen Keller. What struck me most from the movie was the struggle Helen went through as a child. It was crazy watching as she struggled to communicate with those around her. Thats what I always remembered about Helen Keller. Her struggle. However, even in school (middle school/early high school)basically breezed by Helen Keller. Its horrible that all I knew of Helen Keller was that she fought for equality for disabled people. I am happy that I was able to see how much Helen Keller did for people of all races and for those who were disabled or looked over in society. I wish I had known more about Helen Keller. She was an amazing woman.
ReplyDeleteLet me just start by saying WOW! She is absolutely someone who should be idolized, and is for many different reasons. Watching this video showed me in a different way how amazing and how strong of a person she was! I couldnt even imagine not having my sight or hearing. I aplaude her, and absolutely have a new found respect for her.

ReplyDeleteThe fact that she was extensively disabled, yet managed to live such a rich and full existence is amazing. She would be considered commendable just as a regular, functional human being, but she even took it a step further, advocating for causes that she believed in and receiving a college education.
However, Helen Keller wouldn't have been the Helen Keller we know today without the intervention of Anne Sullivan. I imagine that it must have been extremely difficult, not to mention frustrating, to teach someone who had so many handicaps. For that, I commend Anne Sullivan for her role in educating Keller.
I never knew who Hellen Keller was until I just saw this clip. Her work is completely inspiring. I can only imagine the change she brought into the lives of those wounded from WWII. As a disabled person, she definitely symbolizes the potential and capability that everyone has to fight for what they truly believe in. She's an example of the many women who dedicated their lives for something that was truly significant to themselves and to the entire society.
