Course
Description
Students examine various theories and techniques used in teaching and
training criminal justice professionals, develop lesson plans, and use
technology based presentation media to present information.
Prerequisites
Prerequisite: CJ 200
Computer
Requirements
A
student must have access to a computer, a personal computer or campus
computers. A student must be able to use Email and Microsoft Word. Emails may be sent to your Marshall Email
account for this class. You must
regularly monitor your Marshall Email account or have the Email forwarded to
another account. Only inquiries from
your Marshall Email account will be answered if the request if for student
specific information.
Students also must have a “jump” or “travel drive” to backup
assignments and bring in presentations.
Students may use CDRs, CDRWs, etc. but must back up their work. Computer loss of assignments will not be
accepted as an excuse, so back up your work often. Students also should backup work on their
“V” drive to prevent loss.
A student must have basic computer skills,
be able to complete assignments in Microsoft Word, and receive Emails via
your Marshall account.
Desired
Learning Objectives
- Students should know the basics of
organization, management and leadership theories.

Evaluation
of Objectives

practical exercises.
- Students will be graded on presentations of
solutions to other class members.

grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
- Students will be evaluated according to
their understanding and application of management theories.
- All tests and practical exercises will be

other students
Practical
Exercise Guidelines
Papers must be written and typed according to APA guidelines with
correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.
The paper must include sources used for the assignment.
An example paper is located on
the Web for you to use in formatting.
It includes examples of citations and text. The margins, etc. are correct and allow you
to place your material in the correct APA format.

Mock Paper
is listed above the PowerPoints for the class.
- All Practical Exercises will be typed
- All Practical Exercises will be spell and
grammar checked.
- All Practical Exercises will be edited by
three students from the class
- All Editors will sign the rough draft.
- Rough drafts of all assignments will be
brought to class on Tuesday.
Rough drafts should be suitable for turn in when brought to
class.
- Revised Practical Exercises are due the next
class period.
Plagiarism is the use of another’s thoughts or ideas and claiming them as your
own. This includes quoting without
citing, but also includes paraphrasing another’s work without giving them
credit.
Plagiarism or academic dishonesty, such as
cheating on quizzes or exams, as a minimum will result in an “F” for the
assignment or course. The infraction
also may be reported to the Academic Affairs Office (see current Student
Catalog for further consequences).
Attendance
Policy/ Participation Policy
Role will be taken at each class. If you are not there when the role is taken
you will not be recorded as present.
There is no penalty for absences except in the case of a quiz,
assignment due, or test. Absence for a
quiz, assignment, or test must be pre-approved by the instructor or an excuse
consistent with the University Excused Absence Policy of the current
2007-2008 Online Marshall University Undergraduate Catalog must be presented
to make up a missed quiz, assignment, or exam. Missed tests, assignments, or
quizzes will result in a grade of zero.
If a student comes late to take an
examination their paper will be taken when the assigned test conclusion time
is reached, the student will not receive an extension to complete the
examination. During testing sessions, once any student has left the classroom
no student will be allowed to take the test and any student who comes to take
the test after a student has left the classroom will receive a zero.
Tenets of Attendance
- A student should recognize that
one of the most important aspects of a college education is
classroom attendance and participation. The value of this part of
the academic experience
cannot be fully measured by testing procedures. You must attend
all classes, except where
noted.
Absences such as those resulting from illness, death in the family, or
institutional activities
(those approved by the academic deans, such as debate, artistic
performances, and athletics)
are to be excused when a student reports and verifies them to the
instructor. For such excused absences, the student should not be
penalized (MU Undergraduate Catalog).
- When students attend classes,
they are in a position to make significant contributions to their
learning experiences and the learning experiences of other students by
asking relevant questions, making pertinent observations, and sharing
information. When a student misses class, the student and the
class both suffer from a missed opportunity to exchange information and
promote the learning process. Students should attend and
participate in class. Missing
a Tuesday will result in a 20 point reduction per class because of
missing your classmates’ presentations and peer editing.
- Students will be held
accountable for all requirements and information covered in all classes,
whether or not they attend. If it becomes necessary to give
quizzes to spur attendance or
learning, quizzes may be given and their results applied to any test
scores.
- Any materials
are due in class on the day stated. If papers or any
precursors for papers are late,
a student's grade will be reduced by one letter grade per day. The
reductions will begin one
minute after the class ends at which the assignment was due, and
deductions will continue to
accrue thereafter at the same rate at the same time each day until such
time as the assignment
is submitted to the instructor.
- NO MAKE-UP QUIZZES,
EXAMINATIONS, OR PROJECTS (PAPERS) WILL BE ACCEPTED
FOR UNEXCUSED ABSENCES.
- The Criminal Justice Department
is not a print shop. If you are
having trouble with your printer,
you may email the assignment to me as proof that you have completed the
assignment. At that
point, no changes can be made to the assignment; to make changes would
be academic
dishonesty. You must print out the paper and bring it to me at the next
class period. Be careful
what you title your attachments because the spam blocker could block
your message. If you do
not get a reply from me about your paper, I probably didn’t get it. It is your responsibility to make
sure I receive it.
- Phone Behavior (Cell Phones, Pagers,
etc.) Turn them off when you get
to class. If it goes off,
you can be penalized 50 points per occurrence. If you have an emergency situation,
let me know
and set by the door. When your
phone vibrates go into the hall to answer it. No texting in class
will be permitted. If you do so,
you can be penalized 50 points per occurrence. Also, you should
not check to see who is calling or texting you. Such behavior is disruptive to the
class and will be
treated as if you answered the phone, 50 points per occurrence.
- Computers in class are OK if
you are taking notes. If you are
emailing, or using the computer for
non-class related surfing, your behavior will be counted as phone
behavior, see number 7.
- Classroom demeanor. Civility in
class is expected. You must
respect the opinions and rights of
other students and allow them to participate in class. Be active in discussions, but do not
hog
them or blurt out answers all the time.
Everyone should have a chance to participate in class. A student should recognize that one of
the most important aspects of a college education is
classroom attendance and participation. The value of this part of
the academic experience
cannot be fully measured by testing procedures. You must attend
all classes, except where
noted.
- Absences such as those
resulting from illness, death in the family, or institutional activities
(those approved by the academic deans, such as debate, artistic
performances, and athletics)
are to be excused when a student reports and verifies them to the
instructor. For such excused absences, the student should not be
penalized (MU Undergraduate Catalog).
- If the instructor feels a
student is not prepared for class, the student will be required to turn
in the assignment for that day and it will be counted as one of the
mandatory assignments. If a student misses a Tuesday Class without
excuse as discussed above, the student will receive a zero for one of
the assignments for the class.
