TO:
EVOC 502 Instructor
FROM: Rick Little
DATE: February 15, 2003
RE: 502, WA1, Little
The
purpose of EVOC 502 WA1 was to prepare a list of Assertive Discipline Rules and
Penalties that would be appropriate for the course I plan to teach in
Oceanography. The following six criteria were specified:
1.
Comply with all of the General Criteria for Written Assignments.
2.
List and briefly describe at least one good resource from which further
information about assertive discipline can be obtained.
3.
List a minimum of five rules that reflect reasonable student behavior in
the situation in which you function (or expect to function) as an instructor.
4.
List the penalties (or consequences) for breaking those rules, indicating
the increased severity of the penalties for repeated offenses. Be sure that the
penalties you describe are both reasonable and enforceable.
5.
Prepare the rules as a one page contract that can be signed by the
student. Type or word process the rules contract. Careful consideration should
be given to margins, headings and overall appearance.
6.
Everything should fit on one side of one 8.5 by 11 page and it should be
clearly reproduced on high quality paper so that it will look professional.
The
following sources of information were used relative to this assignment:
1.
Little, Rick- From my own professional experience.
2.
Dr. Ronald Pendleton's EVOC Course 501
I believe that the attached report meets all six of
above listed criteria and respectfully request full credit: one point for
meeting each of the above listed criteria.
