CURRICULUM CHANGES

 

PROPOSAL FOR NEW OR REVISED:

 

Revised BSW Degree

           

Title: Revision of Number of credits required to graduate with a BSW from 99 to 120

 

Statement of Need and Purposes:

 

The North-Central Higher Learning Commission is going to require all bachelors level programs have a minimum number of credits.  This will likely go into effect for the fall semester of 2012.  Because OLC is putting out either a two or three year catalog, Social Work faculty thought it best to make the change before printing of the catalog rather than during its tenure. 

 

To this end seven courses are proposed to be added to the BSW status sheet bringing total credits required for graduation to 120. 

 

These seven courses include

 

1.      Lhist 203 – Lakota History

2.      CD 103 – Introduction to Alcoholism

3.      Three non-Lakota studies free electives

4.      Two upper division, non-Lakota Studies free electives

 

College Requirements Affected:

 

Requirements for earning a BSW

 

Anticipated Staffing, Costs and Revenues:

 

None

 

Catalogue Description:

In addition to PWO form 1 attached, departmental and divisional responses are required.

Humanities Department Requirement: Each student must hand in a portfolio at the end of the semester.  Students will also take the SIRII  to evaluate the instructor.  Turn cell phones off in the class.   No IPods or Bluetooth Headsets or any other kinds of headsets or musical devices are allowed (anything that beeps, squawks, or vibrates).

LAKOTA PERSPECTIVE PROVIDED THROUGH, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

  • Students are aware of their cultural identity.
  • Students will have a sense of Lakota and other indigenous people, and non-native history.
  • Students will have careers relevant to Liberal Arts which enhance and benefit life on and off the reservation.
  • Students will be prepared for graduate level work.
  • Students exhibit civic responsibility.

The Lakota perspective, especially the practice of Wolakota and Wolakolkiciyapi, is provided via the interaction between students and the instructor where the traditional Lakota values of patience, mutual respect, and honor are maintained. Students are expected to assist the instructor with the inclusion of the Lakota perspective within the scope of all of this course’s activities. It is heavily encouraged that student thought, expression, and discussions continually supply a Lakota perspective on any topic considered in class.

CLASS & STUDENT CONDUCT (in relation to Wolakota and Wolakolkiciyapi):

  • Wolakolkiciyapi: Students are encouraged to display the Lakota values of respect, knowledge, generosity, fortitude, truthfulness, and courage. If a student displays hostility, irrelevant & disruptive over-garrulousness, or other misconduct that is disturbing to his or her classmates and the instructor, the instructor will meet with that student privately to discuss the matter. Racial, and/or sexist slurs, jokes, teases, or other types of snide, hurtful, inappropriate , discriminatory,  bullying, or embarrassing remarks or actions performed in/out of class times toward fellow students, guests, visitors, OLC staff, & faculty are considered ‘student misconduct’. If misconduct persists, students may be approached by OLC administration. These comments can easily be considered threats which are grounds for expulsion from OLC and an immediate DROP or ‘F’ grade in my class. When students comment on the ‘uselessness’ of ART 163 DRAWING II, students should be prepared for me (instructor) to question them on the spot as to why they would thoughtlessly produce such shallow, unfounded comments.
  • CLASS DISRUPTIONS: Abrupt, random outbursts of loud garrulousness will not be tolerated (e.g., when speaking to me (the instructor), other students, staff, on the cell phone, passersby, etc.). Violent activities, loud music devices played at inappropriate times during class, noisy and late entrances into class once in session, hostile tones and comments/personalities, copying assigned work from another, incessant and disruptive movements, disruptive chatter amongst students who appear not to be attentive to lessons, etc., are not tolerated. NO TEXT MESSAGING ALLOWED during class. All cell phones and electronic devices used for communication not relevant to in-class lectures must be switched off or set to ‘silent’ or ‘vibrate’. Consistent in subordination of this rule will result in student’s deletion of points as penalty.
  • SEXUAL HARASSMENT is not tolerated within or without class times toward fellow students, guests, visitors, OLC staff & faculty either online, via email, by phone, vis-à-vis/in person, or by other modes of digital communication (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Bebo, Linked In, MySpace, iPod, iPod Touch, blogging, etc.). Since sexual harassment may be classified as a threat, a student can be immediately expelled from OLC. Additionally, a DROP or ‘F’ grade in my class will result. Sexual harassment is considered to be any of the following, but not limited to: unwanted touching of another’s body that causes the other’s discomfort; unwanted vocal, facial, or bodily expressions of an unwanted sexual nature from one student to another; any form of unwanted digital communication utilizing sexual denotational or connotational innuendo; sexual abuse of double entendres in any language; harmful teasing of one’s personal choice in sexual orientation (e.g., we will not use terms such as ‘faggot’, ‘homo’, ‘dyke’, ‘butch’, etc. in any harmful or uncomfortable way – therefore, the use of these terms is prohibited); inappropriate verbal or other use of body parts from one student to another; bullying of a student to date you or even ‘hang out’ with you;  ‘ogling’ of any form over another’s body and/or body parts inappropriately; sexual physical assault; date rape; use of pornographic images to approach another inappropriately; approaching another to pay for sexual favors; stalking; vocabulary that inappropriately privileges one gender or sex over the other; unwanted company; inappropriate approaching for a ‘date’; flirting to get your way; the meaning of ‘NO’; defamation; cyber bullying affiliated with sexual harassment; etc. Sexual harassment can be caused by, and happen to anyone regardless of race, gender, sex, status, age, etc.
  • THREATS, USE OF NEPOTISM, STUDENT INSUBORDINATION: While freedom of creative, thoughtful expression is absolutely encouraged in this course, I will not tolerate any form of insubordination, thoughtless insult, or any form of threat by students (e.g., threat to use a family relation or associate on the school, college center board, or political prestige as a way to bully or ‘corner’ the instructor or other students from progressing or exercising their rights enforced by OLC policy; physical or verbal threats imposed on others; gang related; family related; romantically linked, etc.). If a student feels that another in the class has displayed such hostility, the ‘accused’ will be privately approached by instructor for a resolution. If threats/insubordination persist, OLC administration will be prompted for possible and immediate expulsion from OLC as well as an immediate DROP or ‘F’ grade in my class (in concurrence with OLC policies for student grievance, disciplinary actions, etc.). A student’s personal expression of who they are NEVER LICENSES their right to impose upon another student, faculty, staff, administration, class guest, etc. According to OLC policy, all students are encouraged to practice their right to file a grievance against another student freely.
  • STUDENTS UNDER THE INFLUENCE: On suspicion, the instructor reserves the right to approach intoxicated students under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, illegal use of prescription drugs, and other substances. Most likely, these students will be immediately sent home and reported to that OLC college center’s administrative personnel. Students are expected to perform academic assignments while sober, and alert. The teacher will approach a student about their online assignment submissions on suspicion of alcohol influence, use of illegal drugs, illegal use of prescription drugs, and other substances.
  • TOBACCO ON CAMPUS: The use of commercial chewing and/or smoking tobacco is absolutely prohibited at all OLC college centers as well as inside the classrooms (whether class is in session or otherwise).
  • GUN-FREE/WEAPON-FREE CAMPUS: Oglala Lakota College will adhere to a Gun-Free/Weapon-Free campus policy. All dangerous weapons, (dangerous weapons are defined as any firearm, knife, or device, instruments, materials, or substances, whether animate or inanimate which is calculated to inflict death or serious bodily harm) are banned from the Oglala Lakota College campus and properties. Weapons brought onto or carried on Oglala Lakota College property must have prior approval and conform to the safety regulations identified in the procedures below. Weapons carried by authorized law enforcement agents or used in military activities are exempt.
  • DISABILITY: If you feel you have a disability and are in need of assistance to successfully complete this class please contact the OLC Coordinator of Support Services, at (605)455-6040. I am happily always ready to offer any assistance as your teacher to ensure your well being :o)  
  • See OLC 2010-2011 Catalog, AND OLC 2010-2011 Academic Planner.
  • CHILDREN: As OLC college center policy states, children of students are not permitted in class while it is in session. Please make arrangements for their care outside class. While children are a blessing, there is no facility available that allows children to be present in classes with their parent(s). I am absolutely strict with this rule. Students who must leave or be absent from class due to child issues will be marked absent for that day/evening. Situation approached on a case by case basis.

*As situations not listed above arise, other codes of conduct, conduct resolutions, etc. will be utilized. Teacher reserves the right to combine the above words and OLC 2010-2011 Catalog  &  OLC 2010-2011 Academic Planner policies, OLC Policy and Procedure Manual links on the college website (http://www.olc.edu/about/governance/), as well as OLC Administrative personnel regarding class & student conduct along with other aspects listed in this syllabus as deemed necessary (e.g., Academic Integrity & Plagiarism, Policies on Plagiarism or Cheating, etc. ).

 

  • Additional Instructional Methodology:

Instruction of this class is accomplished through a mixture of lecture, discussion, and physical involvement by the student.  Students will read chapters and handouts that pertain to the objectives pertinent to the assignment and then be asked to explain or demonstrate the outcome. Visual aides such as DVD’s, video tapes, and display board presentations will be utilized. Guest speakers will be invited to talk to the class when appropriate.

·                Academic Freedom in Learning:

Under Board of Regents and University policy, student academic performance may be evaluated solely on an academic basis, not on opinions or conduct in reasoned exception to the data or views offered in any course of study and to reserve judgment about matters of opinion, but they are responsible for learning the content of any course of study for which they are enrolled. Students who believe that an academic evaluation reflects prejudiced or capricious consideration of student opinions or conduct unrelated to academic standards should first contact the instructor of the course to initiate a review of the evaluation.  If the student remains unsatisfied, the student may contact the department head and/or dean of the college which offers the class to initiate a review of the evaluation.

  • ADA Statement:

The Humanities and  Social Sciences Department is reading-intensive, and you need to be able to read as much as 40 pages a week for this class.  You also need to be able to express yourself, both in writing and during class time.  If you have a disability that prevents you from taking part in any of these activities, please talk to the Instructor.  You may also contact Lenora Hudson at 605-455-6040.  Do this as soon as possible, so we can make arrangements to fit your needs. If you’re not sure if your writing or reading skills are sufficient for this course, please see me immediately, so we can determine whether you need assistance to do well.  If you are having problems with the material during the semester, please contact me right away.

Learning Objectives: The Humanities and Social Sciences department has adopted the following objectives WHEN NEEDED & WHEN APPROPRIATE:

  1. The ability to identify, define, solve, & reflect on situations found in literature. (Critical Thinking)
  2. The ability to locate and evaluate information utilizing some current technology. (Research and Writing)
  3. The ability to communicate with accuracy and clarity. (Speaking, Writing, Thinking of Literary Art)
  4. The ability to read, comprehend, retain, apply and utilize sources of information responsibly. (Reading and Writing)
  5. Develop an understanding of Lakota culture and philosophy within the broader context of a diverse global society.

Oglala Lakota College has adopted the improvement of student learning as an integral purpose related to students’ learning objectives. Additionally, the OLC Humanities and Social Sciences Department encourages this fundamental belief within its ART 163: DRAWING II course. As a result of the reflective process each student undergoes, students will have the opportunity to develop an enhanced understanding of the integral aspect of the “human & artful experience”.

Student Responsibilities and Special Course Requirements: Our department has adopted a course portfolio policy for all of our courses, including ART 163 DRAWING II. Each student will retain a personal copy of all of her/his activity and assignment materials for her/his course portfolios. Active class participation is an essential element to the successful completion of this course. Each student will be expected to participate by involving herself/himself in each activity and assignment as this course progresses.

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism: Oglala Lakota College has established an academic dishonesty policy. The current OLC college catalog states:

“Academic dishonesty is the taking of an examination or preparation of papers for credit wherein the student knowingly represents the work of another as his/her own; and/or knowingly breaks stated examination rules. A student may be expelled and barred from further classes upon proof in a hearing of academic dishonesty”. (10)

POLICIES ON PLAGIARISM OR CHEATING IN RELATION TO RELEVANT WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS:

Part of the learning process includes the review and integration of the work of others with your thoughts and ideas. In this process, there is no room for plagiarism, which robs you of meaningful learning and is unfair to the original author. Plagiarism is an ethical violation that is not tolerated at OLC. Oglala Lakota College faculty and staff are fully aware of the many online resources now available and we encourage you to focus on learning rather than the inappropriate use of another person's work without proper citation (a form of acknowledgement). REMEMBER: Art Work can be plagiarized.

Although a person may give her/his permission to you to utilize her/his words or ideas, it is plagiarism unless you credit her/him for the specific idea or words. You are responsible for understanding plagiarism. Contact me with any questions you may have. Most cases of plagiarism are the result of improper citation or utilization of punctuation (quotation marks) and can be easily avoided. We will utilize the current MLA style manual for this course (I have a copy of MLA style). If you are unfamiliar with it or have forgotten how to utilize the MLA formats, contact me immediately and I can provide you with several sources. However, ENG 103 is a prerequisite for this course already.

*On suspicion of cheating and/or plagiarism, the teacher reserves the right to search online for works  from the student’s assignment submission, and to also require the student to redraw the same assignment (or another work) while the teacher is physically present. The teacher also has the right to suspect then privately approach any student if cheating and/or plagiarism is sensed.

Course Geography: Students should use the syllabus as a map or guide to the course. Although you have completed a thorough orientation to OLC, you will still need special directions for each session’s activities and assignments. This will require your weekly participation throughout the semester. Class discussions should include substantive input from each student each week.

 

Course Assignments: There will be a variety of drawing activities/assignments as the course progresses. Quizzes and additional activities (discussions, presentations, new drawing methods at the advanced Drawing II level, etc.) should be anticipated. I may retain all written student work in portfolios as well as a record of your completed & comprehended assignments.  ALL HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS DUE AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS.

 

PARTICIPATION STANDARD/COMMUNICATION REQUIREMENTS:

OLC’s institutional attendance policy is outlined on page 13 of the current catalog which states:

Students are required to attend class regularly. If a student wishes to be excused from a class, it is the student’s responsibility to clear the absence with the instructor. At that time, the student must arrange for a make-up assignment. An excused absence is counted in a student’s total number of absences. A student may be dropped from a course after three consecutive absences at the discretion of the instructor and district director and will be dropped after five total absences. The instructor must submit a drop card by the 15th week or a letter grade.

Additionally, in this course, 2 tardies (consecutive or not) equate one absence. Students are expected to actively participate in class WEEKLY throughout the semester by demonstrating and exhibiting a tertiary level (at the very least) of weekly class involvement having read & screened all assigned materials.

 

Attendance:

  • Attendance in this class is absolutely required.  Much happens in class which can never be made up by reading a chapter or doing some written exercises. 
  • Normally, missed classes CANNOT BE MADE UP for this course. Prompt & consistent attendance is required.
  • Each student, present or absent, is responsible and accountable for his or her assignments, attendance, and participation.
  • Therefore, the following attendance policy will be followed:
    • Three (3) ‘unexcused’ absences (largely defined) in a row constitutes an automatic drop.
    • Five (5) scattered ‘unexcused’ absences (largely defined) constitute an automatic drop (or a total of 15 hours missed).
    • Tardiness and leaving early will be recorded (see below). Further, 2 tardies = 1 absence in my class.
    • All ABSENCES – EXCUSED OR UNEXCUSED – will be used to drop each student who has exceeded absences by OLC Registrar. Once a student is dropped, they CANNOT be reinstated (OLC Registrar policy/Dept. of Education).
    • Students must not exceed ‘break time’ past the regulated 15 minutes class recess block.
    • Both Absences & Tardies result in student points deletion
    • The instructor will decide whether or not an ABSENCE is Excused or Unexcused.
    • Class begins promptly on the hour. Students who arrive 1 minute past the set time will be marked TARDY.
    • Students who arrive after the first hour of class are considered ABSENT for the day.
    • Students who leave class before the designated end time without my authorization are considered ABSENT for the day. Informing me (the instructor) of your absence does not equate an ‘excused’ absence.
    • Students will lost points when TARDY, ABSENT, or when not working during their presence in class.
    • Attendance is recorded by me (the instructor) at the beginning of class, and is the first task upon commencement of class time.
  • If you must miss a class in case of an emergency, you should call or email the instructor, and pick up assignments from my box at the college center, or utilize other methods of correspondence in regards to make-up work. Do not call to speak to me once class for the day/evening has begun (9am/1pm/5pm). If you are to be late, or absent for class, please leave a polite message with the college center staff, & leave the message(s) by at least 15 minutes before class begins. Please be considerate.
  • Early leave from class (unannounced and/or not authorized by the instructor) is considered an absence for the day. Also, if you announce or inform me that you will leave prior to the completion of class (12noon/4pm/8pm), it may also be considered an absence. Please inform me via email or by phone ahead of time (15 minutes before class begins) to discuss. Please be considerate.
  • You should also be aware that drops from my class will very likely affect your financial award:  Pell, Higher Ed., Scholarships, etc. You must be willing to make a commitment in order to be successful in your journey at OLC.
  • At an announced point in time during the semester, the OLC Registrar’s office will drop you from courses if class absences are exceeded. Instructors no longer have the initial control on the OLC Jenzabar site in this regard – EXCUSED ABSENCES also result in OLC Registrar’s Office officially dropping you from class.

 

  • Incompletes:An incomplete grade is given only when the instructor feels special circumstances warrant it.  Not turning work in on time is no excuse.

 

Feedback Schedule: I hope to provide you feedback the day(s)/week(s) following the submission of an assignment. I will be checking my OLC email (gcournoyer@olc.edu) frequently throughout the week. I will also utilize your OLC email address to communicate with you, & am open to use your other email addresses to correspond with you if needed.

 

Course Procedures and Policies on Late Assignments:

 Late Work will receive one of the two following grades:

1.               The grade the work actually deserves.

2.               The reduced grade because of lateness.

NOTE: It is the student’s responsibility to keep copies of all papers and records of grades in case of a grade dispute.

 

Methods for Delivering Assignments: Each assignment should be submitted by the student (herself/himself). There may be circumstances which may require a student to submit an assignment in an alternative manner; however, the alternative delivery should be discussed with me before the assignment’s due date. You need to retain a copy of all of your activities and assignments. I should never have the only copy of anything (consider a USB flash drive and/or a CD that archives your work).

QUIZZES: Quizzes are held at the very beginning of class immediately following attendance/roll call. Quizzes cannot be made up once completed (as many of them are ORAL/VERBAL due to line memorization for parts from a particular speech, while written are to ensure that textbook reading has been completed & comprehended by the start of every class period). Points accumulated during quizzes will be used toward your final grade. Some of the main purposes of quizzing students is to more further: combat tardiness, enforce the reading assignments from the previous week, aid students in point accumulation, as well as help them hone in on their acting ‘chops’/expressive craft. Quizzes in this class are based on Drawing techniques and will show if a student has practiced their Drawing methods consistently while outside of class.

 

MIDTERM & FINAL EXAMS: TBD

 

RESEARCH: While there is no formal research/term paper assigned for this course, students have the option in discussing with me the possibilities of composing one.

 

NOTE ON PEER REVIEW: While it would behoove you to allow another person to review & critique your performative assignments, I am highly concerned about whom you allow to do so. Please choose a reviewer who is well informed, truly experienced, & positive of the Art 163 Drawing II level expectation. I strongly suggest you choose an experienced tutor to review your work. However, it is helpful to kindly ask and involve friends and family members to help with inspirational critique :o)

Course Evaluation: I expect students to complete the instructor evaluation distributed at the end of the course. Ideally, this activity will be completed during week thirteen or fourteen of the semester. I value your viewpoint and your assessment of each course. It is vital to my continued development as an instructor.

STUDENT ASSIGNMENT EVALUATION: At the very least, this course will utilize the drawing standards used in the Art 103 Drawing I course as far as skill and criteria are concerned.

LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION: Only students that complete this course with a letter grade of ‘B’ will be allowed LORs, or letters of recommendation.

 

Disclaimer: Information contained in this syllabus is, to the best knowledge of the instructor, considered correct and complete when distributed for use at the beginning of the semester. However, this syllabus should not be considered an inflexible ‘contract’ between Oglala Lakota College and any student. The instructor reserves the right to make necessary changes in course content and/or the instructional technique with reasonable notice.

Humanities Department Requirement: Each student must hand in a portfolio at the end of the semester.  Students will also take the SIRII  to evaluate the instructor.  Turn cell phones off in the class.   No IPods or Bluetooth Headsets or any other kinds of headsets or musical devices are allowed (anything that beeps, squawks, or vibrates).

 

LAKOTA PERSPECTIVE PROVIDED THROUGH, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

  • Students are aware of their cultural identity.
  • Students will have a sense of Lakota and other indigenous people, and non-native history.
  • Students will have careers relevant to Liberal Arts which enhance and benefit life on and off the reservation.
  • Students will be prepared for graduate level work.
  • Students exhibit civic responsibility.

The Lakota perspective, especially the practice of Wolakota and Wolakolkiciyapi, is provided via the interaction between students and the instructor where the traditional Lakota values of patience, mutual respect, and honor are maintained. Students are expected to assist the instructor with the inclusion of the Lakota perspective within the scope of all of this course’s activities. It is heavily encouraged that student thought, expression, and discussions continually supply a Lakota perspective on any topic considered in class.

 

CLASS & STUDENT CONDUCT (in relation to Wolakota and Wolakolkiciyapi):

  • Wolakolkiciyapi: Students are encouraged to display the Lakota values of respect, knowledge, generosity, fortitude, truthfulness, and courage. If a student displays hostility, irrelevant & disruptive over-garrulousness, or other misconduct that is disturbing to his or her classmates and the instructor, the instructor will meet with that student privately to discuss the matter. Racial, and/or sexist slurs, jokes, teases, or other types of snide, hurtful, inappropriate , discriminatory,  bullying, or embarrassing remarks or actions performed in/out of class times toward fellow students, guests, visitors, OLC staff, & faculty are considered ‘student misconduct’. If misconduct persists, students may be approached by OLC administration. These comments can easily be considered threats which are grounds for expulsion from OLC and an immediate DROP or ‘F’ grade in my class. When students comment on the ‘uselessness’ of ART 223 PAINTING I, students should be prepared for me (instructor) to question them on the spot as to why they would thoughtlessly produce such shallow, unfounded comments.
  • CLASS DISRUPTIONS: Abrupt, random outbursts of loud garrulousness will not be tolerated (e.g., when speaking to me (the instructor), other students, staff, on the cell phone, passersby, etc.). Violent activities, loud music devices played at inappropriate times during class, noisy and late entrances into class once in session, hostile tones and comments/personalities, copying assigned work from another, incessant and disruptive movements, disruptive chatter amongst students who appear not to be attentive to lessons, etc., are not tolerated. NO TEXT MESSAGING ALLOWED during class. All cell phones and electronic devices used for communication not relevant to in-class lectures must be switched off or set to ‘silent’ or ‘vibrate’. Consistent in subordination of this rule will result in student’s deletion of points as penalty.
  • SEXUAL HARASSMENT is not tolerated within or without class times toward fellow students, guests, visitors, OLC staff & faculty either online, via email, by phone, vis-à-vis/in person, or by other modes of digital communication (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Bebo, Linked In, MySpace, iPod, iPod Touch, blogging, etc.). Since sexual harassment may be classified as a threat, a student can be immediately expelled from OLC. Additionally, a DROP or ‘F’ grade in my class will result. Sexual harassment is considered to be any of the following, but not limited to: unwanted touching of another’s body that causes the other’s discomfort; unwanted vocal, facial, or bodily expressions of an unwanted sexual nature from one student to another; any form of unwanted digital communication utilizing sexual denotational or connotational innuendo; sexual abuse of double entendres in any language; harmful teasing of one’s personal choice in sexual orientation (e.g., we will not use terms such as ‘faggot’, ‘homo’, ‘dyke’, ‘butch’, etc. in any harmful or uncomfortable way – therefore, the use of these terms is prohibited); inappropriate verbal or other use of body parts from one student to another; bullying of a student to date you or even ‘hang out’ with you;  ‘ogling’ of any form over another’s body and/or body parts inappropriately; sexual physical assault; date rape; use of pornographic images to approach another inappropriately; approaching another to pay for sexual favors; stalking; vocabulary that inappropriately privileges one gender or sex over the other; unwanted company; inappropriate approaching for a ‘date’; flirting to get your way; the meaning of ‘NO’; defamation; cyber bullying affiliated with sexual harassment; etc. Sexual harassment can be caused by, and happen to anyone regardless of race, gender, sex, status, age, etc.
  • THREATS, USE OF NEPOTISM, STUDENT INSUBORDINATION: While freedom of creative, thoughtful expression is absolutely encouraged in this course, I will not tolerate any form of insubordination, thoughtless insult, or any form of threat by students (e.g., threat to use a family relation or associate on the school, college center board, or political prestige as a way to bully or ‘corner’ the instructor or other students from progressing or exercising their rights enforced by OLC policy; physical or verbal threats imposed on others; gang related; family related; romantically linked, etc.). If a student feels that another in the class has displayed such hostility, the ‘accused’ will be privately approached by instructor for a resolution. If threats/insubordination persist, OLC administration will be prompted for possible and immediate expulsion from OLC as well as an immediate DROP or ‘F’ grade in my class (in concurrence with OLC policies for student grievance, disciplinary actions, etc.). A student’s personal expression of who they are NEVER LICENSES their right to impose upon another student, faculty, staff, administration, class guest, etc. According to OLC policy, all students are encouraged to practice their right to file a grievance against another student freely.
  • STUDENTS UNDER THE INFLUENCE: On suspicion, the instructor reserves the right to approach intoxicated students under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, illegal use of prescription drugs, and other substances. Most likely, these students will be immediately sent home and reported to that OLC college center’s administrative personnel. Students are expected to perform academic assignments while sober, and alert. The teacher will approach a student about their online assignment submissions on suspicion of alcohol influence, use of illegal drugs, illegal use of prescription drugs, and other substances.
  • TOBACCO ON CAMPUS: The use of commercial chewing and/or smoking tobacco is absolutely prohibited at all OLC college centers as well as inside the classrooms (whether class is in session or otherwise).
  • GUN-FREE/WEAPON-FREE CAMPUS: Oglala Lakota College will adhere to a Gun-Free/Weapon-Free campus policy. All dangerous weapons, (dangerous weapons are defined as any firearm, knife, or device, instruments, materials, or substances, whether animate or inanimate which is calculated to inflict death or serious bodily harm) are banned from the Oglala Lakota College campus and properties. Weapons brought onto or carried on Oglala Lakota College property must have prior approval and conform to the safety regulations identified in the procedures below. Weapons carried by authorized law enforcement agents or used in military activities are exempt.
  • DISABILITY: If you feel you have a disability and are in need of assistance to successfully complete this class please contact the OLC Coordinator of Support Services, at (605)455-6040. I am happily always ready to offer any assistance as your teacher to ensure your well being :o)  
  • See OLC 2010-2011 Catalog, AND OLC 2010-2011 Academic Planner.
  • CHILDREN: As OLC college center policy states, children of students are not permitted in class while it is in session. Please make arrangements for their care outside class. While children are a blessing, there is no facility available that allows children to be present in classes with their parent(s). I am absolutely strict with this rule. Students who must leave or be absent from class due to child issues will be marked absent for that day/evening. Situation approached on a case by case basis.

*As situations not listed above arise, other codes of conduct, conduct resolutions, etc. will be utilized. Teacher reserves the right to combine the above words and OLC 2010-2011 Catalog  &  OLC 2010-2011 Academic Planner policies, OLC Policy and Procedure Manual links on the college website (http://www.olc.edu/about/governance/), as well as OLC Administrative personnel regarding class & student conduct along with other aspects listed in this syllabus as deemed necessary (e.g., Academic Integrity & Plagiarism, Policies on Plagiarism or Cheating, etc. ).

 

  • Additional Instructional Methodology:

Instruction of this class is accomplished through a mixture of lecture, discussion, and physical involvement by the student.  Students will read chapters and handouts that pertain to the objectives pertinent to the assignment and then be asked to explain or demonstrate the outcome. Visual aides such as DVD’s, video tapes, and display board presentations will be utilized. Guest speakers will be invited to talk to the class when appropriate.

·                Academic Freedom in Learning:

Under Board of Regents and University policy, student academic performance may be evaluated solely on an academic basis, not on opinions or conduct in reasoned exception to the data or views offered in any course of study and to reserve judgment about matters of opinion, but they are responsible for learning the content of any course of study for which they are enrolled. Students who believe that an academic evaluation reflects prejudiced or capricious consideration of student opinions or conduct unrelated to academic standards should first contact the instructor of the course to initiate a review of the evaluation.  If the student remains unsatisfied, the student may contact the department head and/or dean of the college which offers the class to initiate a review of the evaluation.

  • ADA Statement:

The Humanities and  Social Sciences Department is reading-intensive, and you need to be able to read as much as 40 pages a week for this class.  You also need to be able to express yourself, both in writing and during class time.  If you have a disability that prevents you from taking part in any of these activities, please talk to the Instructor.  You may also contact Lenora Hudson at 605-455-6040.  Do this as soon as possible, so we can make arrangements to fit your needs. If you’re not sure if your writing or reading skills are sufficient for this course, please see me immediately, so we can determine whether you need assistance to do well.  If you are having problems with the material during the semester, please contact me right away.

 

Learning Objectives: The Humanities and Social Sciences department has adopted the following objectives WHEN NEEDED & WHEN APPROPRIATE:

  1. The ability to identify, define, solve, & reflect on situations found in painting. (Critical Thinking)
  2. The ability to locate and evaluate information utilizing some current technology. (Research and Writing)
  3. The ability to communicate with accuracy and clarity. (Speaking, Writing, Thinking of Painting Artists)
  4. The ability to read, comprehend, retain, apply and utilize sources of information responsibly. (Reading and Writing)
  5. Develop an understanding of Lakota culture and philosophy within the broader context of a diverse global society.

Oglala Lakota College has adopted the improvement of student learning as an integral purpose related to students’ learning objectives. Additionally, the OLC Humanities and Social Sciences Department encourages this fundamental belief within its ART 223: Painting I course. As a result of the reflective process each student undergoes, students will have the opportunity to develop an enhanced understanding of the integral aspect of the “human & artful experience”.

Student Responsibilities and Special Course Requirements: Our department has adopted a course portfolio policy for all of our courses, including ART 223 PAINTING I. Each student will retain a personal copy of all of her/his activity and assignment materials for her/his course portfolios. Active class participation is an essential element to the successful completion of this course. Each student will be expected to participate by involving herself/himself in each activity and assignment as this course progresses.

 

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism: Oglala Lakota College has established an academic dishonesty policy. The current OLC college catalog states:

“Academic dishonesty is the taking of an examination or preparation of papers for credit wherein the student knowingly represents the work of another as his/her own; and/or knowingly breaks stated examination rules. A student may be expelled and barred from further classes upon proof in a hearing of academic dishonesty”. (10)

 

POLICIES ON PLAGIARISM OR CHEATING IN RELATION TO RELEVANT WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS:

Part of the learning process includes the review and integration of the work of others with your thoughts and ideas. In this process, there is no room for plagiarism, which robs you of meaningful learning and is unfair to the original author. Plagiarism is an ethical violation that is not tolerated at OLC. Oglala Lakota College faculty and staff are fully aware of the many online resources now available and we encourage you to focus on learning rather than the inappropriate use of another person's work without proper citation (a form of acknowledgement). REMEMBER: Art Work can be plagiarized.

 

Although a person may give her/his permission to you to utilize her/his words or ideas, it is plagiarism unless you credit her/him for the specific idea or words. You are responsible for understanding plagiarism. Contact me with any questions you may have.

 

WRITING: Most cases of plagiarism are the result of improper citation or utilization of punctuation (quotation marks) and can be easily avoided. We will utilize the current MLA style manual for this course (I have a copy of MLA style). If you are unfamiliar with it or have forgotten how to utilize the MLA formats, contact me immediately and I can provide you with several sources. However, ENG 103 is a prerequisite for this course already.

*On suspicion of cheating and/or plagiarism, the teacher reserves the right to search online for works  from the student’s assignment submission, and to also require the student to redraw the same assignment (or another work) while the teacher is physically present. The teacher also has the right to suspect then privately approach any student if cheating and/or plagiarism is sensed.

Course Geography: Students should use the syllabus as a map or guide to the course. Although you have completed a thorough orientation to OLC, you will still need special directions for each session’s activities and assignments. This will require your weekly participation throughout the semester. Class discussions should include substantive input from each student each week.

 

Course Assignments: There will be a variety of drawing activities/assignments as the course progresses. Quizzes and additional activities (discussions, presentations, new drawing methods at the advanced Drawing II level, etc.) should be anticipated. I may retain all written student work in portfolios as well as a record of your completed & comprehended assignments.  ALL HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS DUE AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS.

 

PARTICIPATION STANDARD/COMMUNICATION REQUIREMENTS:

OLC’s institutional attendance policy is outlined on page 13 of the current catalog which states:

Students are required to attend class regularly. If a student wishes to be excused from a class, it is the student’s responsibility to clear the absence with the instructor. At that time, the student must arrange for a make-up assignment. An excused absence is counted in a student’s total number of absences. A student may be dropped from a course after three consecutive absences at the discretion of the instructor and district director and will be dropped after five total absences. The instructor must submit a drop card by the 15th week or a letter grade.

Additionally, in this course, 2 tardies (consecutive or not) equate one absence. Students are expected to actively participate in class WEEKLY throughout the semester by demonstrating and exhibiting a tertiary level (at the very least) of weekly class involvement having read & screened all assigned materials.

 

Attendance:

  • Attendance in this class is absolutely required.  Much happens in class which can never be made up by reading a chapter or doing some written exercises. 
  • Normally, missed classes CANNOT BE MADE UP for this course. Prompt & consistent attendance is required.
  • Each student, present or absent, is responsible and accountable for his or her assignments, attendance, and participation.
  • Therefore, the following attendance policy will be followed:
    • Three (3) ‘unexcused’ absences (largely defined) in a row constitutes an automatic drop.
    • Five (5) scattered ‘unexcused’ absences (largely defined) constitute an automatic drop (or a total of 15 hours missed).
    • Tardiness and leaving early will be recorded (see below). Further, 2 tardies = 1 absence in my class.
    • All ABSENCES – EXCUSED OR UNEXCUSED – will be used to drop each student who has exceeded absences by OLC Registrar. Once a student is dropped, they CANNOT be reinstated (OLC Registrar policy/Dept. of Education).
    • Students must not exceed ‘break time’ past the regulated 15 minutes class recess block.
    • Both Absences & Tardies result in student points deletion
    • The instructor will decide whether or not an ABSENCE is Excused or Unexcused.
    • Class begins promptly on the hour. Students who arrive 1 minute past the set time will be marked TARDY.
    • Students who arrive after the first hour of class are considered ABSENT for the day.
    • Students who leave class before the designated end time without my authorization are considered ABSENT for the day. Informing me (the instructor) of your absence does not equate an ‘excused’ absence.
    • Students will lose points when TARDY, ABSENT, or when not working during their presence in class.
    • Attendance is recorded by me (the instructor) at the beginning of class, and is the first task upon commencement of class time.
  • If you must miss a class in case of an emergency, you should call or email the instructor, and pick up assignments from my box at the college center, or utilize other methods of correspondence in regards to make-up work. Do not call to speak to me once class for the day/evening has begun (9am/1pm/5pm). If you are to be late, or absent for class, please leave a polite message with the college center staff, & leave the message(s) by at least 15 minutes before class begins. Please be considerate.
  • Early leave from class (unannounced and/or not authorized by the instructor) is considered an absence for the day. Also, if you announce or inform me that you will leave prior to the completion of class (12noon/4pm/8pm), it may also be considered an absence. Please inform me via email or by phone ahead of time (15 minutes before class begins) to discuss. Please be considerate.
  • You should also be aware that drops from my class will very likely affect your financial award:  Pell, Higher Ed., Scholarships, etc. You must be willing to make a commitment in order to be successful in your journey at OLC.
  • At an announced point in time during the semester, the OLC Registrar’s office will drop you from courses if class absences are exceeded. Instructors no longer have the initial control on the OLC Jenzabar site in this regard – EXCUSED ABSENCES also result in OLC Registrar’s Office officially dropping you from class.

 

  • Incompletes:An incomplete grade is given only when the instructor feels special circumstances warrant it.  Not turning work in on time is no excuse.

 

Feedback Schedule: I hope to provide you feedback the day(s)/week(s) following the submission of an assignment. I will be checking my OLC email (gcournoyer@olc.edu) frequently throughout the week. I will also utilize your OLC email address to communicate with you, & am open to use your other email addresses to correspond with you if needed.

 

Course Procedures and Policies on Late Assignments:

 Late Work will receive one of the two following grades:

3.               The grade the work actually deserves.

4.               The reduced grade because of lateness.

NOTE: It is the student’s responsibility to keep copies of all papers and records of grades in case of a grade dispute.

 

Methods for Delivering Assignments: Each assignment should be submitted by the student (herself/himself). There may be circumstances which may require a student to submit an assignment in an alternative manner; however, the alternative delivery should be discussed with me before the assignment’s due date. You need to retain a copy of all of your activities and assignments. I should never have the only copy of anything (consider a USB flash drive and/or a CD that archives your work).

QUIZZES: Quizzes are held at the very beginning of class immediately following attendance/roll call. Quizzes cannot be made up once completed (as many of them are ORAL/VERBAL due to line memorization for parts from a particular speech, while written are to ensure that textbook reading has been completed & comprehended by the start of every class period). Points accumulated during quizzes will be used toward your final grade. Some of the main purposes of quizzing students is to more further: combat tardiness, enforce the reading assignments from the previous week, aid students in point accumulation, as well as help them hone in on their acting ‘chops’/expressive craft. Quizzes in this class are based on PAINTING techniques and will show if a student has practiced their PAINTING methods consistently while outside of class.

 

MIDTERM & FINAL EXAMS: TBD

 

RESEARCH: While there is no formal research/term paper assigned for this course, students have the option in discussing with me the possibilities of composing one.

 

NOTE ON PEER REVIEW: While it would behoove you to allow another person to review & critique your performative assignments, I am highly concerned about whom you allow to do so. Please choose a reviewer who is well informed, truly experienced, & positive of the Art 223 PAINTING I level expectation. I strongly suggest you choose an experienced tutor to review your work. However, it is helpful to kindly ask and involve friends and family members to help with inspirational critique :o)

Course Evaluation: I expect students to complete the instructor evaluation distributed at the end of the course. Ideally, this activity will be completed during week thirteen or fourteen of the semester. I value your viewpoint and your assessment of each course. It is vital to my continued development as an instructor.

STUDENT ASSIGNMENT EVALUATION: At the very least, this course will utilize the drawing standards used in the Art 223 Painting I course as far as skill and criteria are concerned.

 

LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION: Only students that complete this course with a letter grade of ‘B’ will be allowed LORs, or letters of recommendation.

 

Disclaimer: Information contained in this syllabus is, to the best knowledge of the instructor, considered correct and complete when distributed for use at the beginning of the semester. However, this syllabus should not be considered an inflexible ‘contract’ between Oglala Lakota College and any student. The instructor reserves the right to make necessary changes in course content and/or the instructional technique with reasonable notice.

Humanities Department Requirement: Each student must hand in a portfolio at the end of the semester.  Students will also take the SIRII  to evaluate the instructor.  Turn cell phones off in the class.   No IPods or Bluetooth Headsets or any other kinds of headsets or musical devices are allowed (anything that beeps, squawks, or vibrates).

 

LAKOTA PERSPECTIVE PROVIDED THROUGH, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

  • Students are aware of their cultural identity.
  • Students will have a sense of Lakota and other indigenous people, and non-native history.
  • Students will have careers relevant to Liberal Arts which enhance and benefit life on and off the reservation.
  • Students will be prepared for graduate level work.
  • Students exhibit civic responsibility.

The Lakota perspective, especially the practice of Wolakota and Wolakolkiciyapi, is provided via the interaction between students and the instructor where the traditional Lakota values of patience, mutual respect, and honor are maintained. Students are expected to assist the instructor with the inclusion of the Lakota perspective within the scope of all of this course’s activities. It is heavily encouraged that student thought, expression, and discussions continually supply a Lakota perspective on any topic considered in class.

 

CLASS & STUDENT CONDUCT (in relation to Wolakota and Wolakolkiciyapi):

  • Wolakolkiciyapi: Students are encouraged to display the Lakota values of respect, knowledge, generosity, fortitude, truthfulness, and courage. If a student displays hostility, irrelevant & disruptive over-garrulousness, or other misconduct that is disturbing to his or her classmates and the instructor, the instructor will meet with that student privately to discuss the matter. Racial, and/or sexist slurs, jokes, teases, or other types of snide, hurtful, inappropriate , discriminatory,  bullying, or embarrassing remarks or actions performed in/out of class times toward fellow students, guests, visitors, OLC staff, & faculty are considered ‘student misconduct’. If misconduct persists, students may be approached by OLC administration. These comments can easily be considered threats which are grounds for expulsion from OLC and an immediate DROP or ‘F’ grade in my class. When students comment on the ‘uselessness’ of ART 243 PAINTING II, students should be prepared for me (instructor) to question them on the spot as to why they would thoughtlessly produce such shallow, unfounded comments.
  • CLASS DISRUPTIONS: Abrupt, random outbursts of loud garrulousness will not be tolerated (e.g., when speaking to me (the instructor), other students, staff, on the cell phone, passersby, etc.). Violent activities, loud music devices played at inappropriate times during class, noisy and late entrances into class once in session, hostile tones and comments/personalities, copying assigned work from another, incessant and disruptive movements, disruptive chatter amongst students who appear not to be attentive to lessons, etc., are not tolerated. NO TEXT MESSAGING ALLOWED during class. All cell phones and electronic devices used for communication not relevant to in-class lectures must be switched off or set to ‘silent’ or ‘vibrate’. Consistent in subordination of this rule will result in student’s deletion of points as penalty.
  • SEXUAL HARASSMENT is not tolerated within or without class times toward fellow students, guests, visitors, OLC staff & faculty either online, via email, by phone, vis-à-vis/in person, or by other modes of digital communication (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Bebo, Linked In, MySpace, iPod, iPod Touch, blogging, etc.). Since sexual harassment may be classified as a threat, a student can be immediately expelled from OLC. Additionally, a DROP or ‘F’ grade in my class will result. Sexual harassment is considered to be any of the following, but not limited to: unwanted touching of another’s body that causes the other’s discomfort; unwanted vocal, facial, or bodily expressions of an unwanted sexual nature from one student to another; any form of unwanted digital communication utilizing sexual denotational or connotational innuendo; sexual abuse of double entendres in any language; harmful teasing of one’s personal choice in sexual orientation (e.g., we will not use terms such as ‘faggot’, ‘homo’, ‘dyke’, ‘butch’, etc. in any harmful or uncomfortable way – therefore, the use of these terms is prohibited); inappropriate verbal or other use of body parts from one student to another; bullying of a student to date you or even ‘hang out’ with you;  ‘ogling’ of any form over another’s body and/or body parts inappropriately; sexual physical assault; date rape; use of pornographic images to approach another inappropriately; approaching another to pay for sexual favors; stalking; vocabulary that inappropriately privileges one gender or sex over the other; unwanted company; inappropriate approaching for a ‘date’; flirting to get your way; the meaning of ‘NO’; defamation; cyber bullying affiliated with sexual harassment; etc. Sexual harassment can be caused by, and happen to anyone regardless of race, gender, sex, status, age, etc.
  • THREATS, USE OF NEPOTISM, STUDENT INSUBORDINATION: While freedom of creative, thoughtful expression is absolutely encouraged in this course, I will not tolerate any form of insubordination, thoughtless insult, or any form of threat by students (e.g., threat to use a family relation or associate on the school, college center board, or political prestige as a way to bully or ‘corner’ the instructor or other students from progressing or exercising their rights enforced by OLC policy; physical or verbal threats imposed on others; gang related; family related; romantically linked, etc.). If a student feels that another in the class has displayed such hostility, the ‘accused’ will be privately approached by instructor for a resolution. If threats/insubordination persist, OLC administration will be prompted for possible and immediate expulsion from OLC as well as an immediate DROP or ‘F’ grade in my class (in concurrence with OLC policies for student grievance, disciplinary actions, etc.). A student’s personal expression of who they are NEVER LICENSES their right to impose upon another student, faculty, staff, administration, class guest, etc. According to OLC policy, all students are encouraged to practice their right to file a grievance against another student freely.
  • STUDENTS UNDER THE INFLUENCE: On suspicion, the instructor reserves the right to approach intoxicated students under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, illegal use of prescription drugs, and other substances. Most likely, these students will be immediately sent home and reported to that OLC college center’s administrative personnel. Students are expected to perform academic assignments while sober, and alert. The teacher will approach a student about their online assignment submissions on suspicion of alcohol influence, use of illegal drugs, illegal use of prescription drugs, and other substances.
  • TOBACCO ON CAMPUS: The use of commercial chewing and/or smoking tobacco is absolutely prohibited at all OLC college centers as well as inside the classrooms (whether class is in session or otherwise).
  • GUN-FREE/WEAPON-FREE CAMPUS: Oglala Lakota College will adhere to a Gun-Free/Weapon-Free campus policy. All dangerous weapons, (dangerous weapons are defined as any firearm, knife, or device, instruments, materials, or substances, whether animate or inanimate which is calculated to inflict death or serious bodily harm) are banned from the Oglala Lakota College campus and properties. Weapons brought onto or carried on Oglala Lakota College property must have prior approval and conform to the safety regulations identified in the procedures below. Weapons carried by authorized law enforcement agents or used in military activities are exempt.
  • DISABILITY: If you feel you have a disability and are in need of assistance to successfully complete this class please contact the OLC Coordinator of Support Services, at (605)455-6040. I am happily always ready to offer any assistance as your teacher to ensure your well being :o)  
  • See OLC 2010-2011 Catalog, AND OLC 2010-2011 Academic Planner.
  • CHILDREN: As OLC college center policy states, children of students are not permitted in class while it is in session. Please make arrangements for their care outside class. While children are a blessing, there is no facility available that allows children to be present in classes with their parent(s). I am absolutely strict with this rule. Students who must leave or be absent from class due to child issues will be marked absent for that day/evening. Situation approached on a case by case basis.

*As situations not listed above arise, other codes of conduct, conduct resolutions, etc. will be utilized. Teacher reserves the right to combine the above words and OLC 2010-2011 Catalog  &  OLC 2010-2011 Academic Planner policies, OLC Policy and Procedure Manual links on the college website (http://www.olc.edu/about/governance/), as well as OLC Administrative personnel regarding class & student conduct along with other aspects listed in this syllabus as deemed necessary (e.g., Academic Integrity & Plagiarism, Policies on Plagiarism or Cheating, etc. ).

 

  • Additional Instructional Methodology:

Instruction of this class is accomplished through a mixture of lecture, discussion, and physical involvement by the student.  Students will read chapters and handouts that pertain to the objectives pertinent to the assignment and then be asked to explain or demonstrate the outcome. Visual aides such as DVD’s, video tapes, and display board presentations will be utilized. Guest speakers will be invited to talk to the class when appropriate.

·                Academic Freedom in Learning:

Under Board of Regents and University policy, student academic performance may be evaluated solely on an academic basis, not on opinions or conduct in reasoned exception to the data or views offered in any course of study and to reserve judgment about matters of opinion, but they are responsible for learning the content of any course of study for which they are enrolled. Students who believe that an academic evaluation reflects prejudiced or capricious consideration of student opinions or conduct unrelated to academic standards should first contact the instructor of the course to initiate a review of the evaluation.  If the student remains unsatisfied, the student may contact the department head and/or dean of the college which offers the class to initiate a review of the evaluation.

  • ADA Statement:

The Humanities and  Social Sciences Department is reading-intensive, and you need to be able to read as much as 40 pages a week for this class.  You also need to be able to express yourself, both in writing and during class time.  If you have a disability that prevents you from taking part in any of these activities, please talk to the Instructor.  You may also contact Lenora Hudson at 605-455-6040.  Do this as soon as possible, so we can make arrangements to fit your needs. If you’re not sure if your writing or reading skills are sufficient for this course, please see me immediately, so we can determine whether you need assistance to do well.  If you are having problems with the material during the semester, please contact me right away.

Learning Objectives: The Humanities and Social Sciences department has adopted the following objectives WHEN NEEDED & WHEN APPROPRIATE:

  1. The ability to identify, define, solve, & reflect on situations found in painting. (Critical Thinking)
  2. The ability to locate and evaluate information utilizing some current technology. (Research and Writing)
  3. The ability to communicate with accuracy and clarity. (Speaking, Writing, Thinking of Painting Artists)
  4. The ability to read, comprehend, retain, apply and utilize sources of information responsibly. (Reading and Writing)
  5. Develop an understanding of Lakota culture and philosophy within the broader context of a diverse global society.

Oglala Lakota College has adopted the improvement of student learning as an integral purpose related to students’ learning objectives. Additionally, the OLC Humanities and Social Sciences Department encourages this fundamental belief within its ART 243: Painting II course. As a result of the reflective process each student undergoes, students will have the opportunity to develop an enhanced understanding of the integral aspect of the “human & artful experience”.

Student Responsibilities and Special Course Requirements: Our department has adopted a course portfolio policy for all of our courses, including ART 243 PAINTING II. Each student will retain a personal copy of all of her/his activity and assignment materials for her/his course portfolios. Active class participation is an essential element to the successful completion of this course. Each student will be expected to participate by involving herself/himself in each activity and assignment as this course progresses.

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism: Oglala Lakota College has established an academic dishonesty policy. The current OLC college catalog states:

“Academic dishonesty is the taking of an examination or preparation of papers for credit wherein the student knowingly represents the work of another as his/her own; and/or knowingly breaks stated examination rules. A student may be expelled and barred from further classes upon proof in a hearing of academic dishonesty”. (10)

POLICIES ON PLAGIARISM OR CHEATING IN RELATION TO RELEVANT WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS:

Part of the learning process includes the review and integration of the work of others with your thoughts and ideas. In this process, there is no room for plagiarism, which robs you of meaningful learning and is unfair to the original author. Plagiarism is an ethical violation that is not tolerated at OLC. Oglala Lakota College faculty and staff are fully aware of the many online resources now available and we encourage you to focus on learning rather than the inappropriate use of another person's work without proper citation (a form of acknowledgement). REMEMBER: Art Work can be plagiarized.

 

Although a person may give her/his permission to you to utilize her/his words or ideas, it is plagiarism unless you credit her/him for the specific idea or words. You are responsible for understanding plagiarism. Contact me with any questions you may have. WRITING: Most cases of plagiarism are the result of improper citation or utilization of punctuation (quotation marks) and can be easily avoided. We will utilize the current MLA style manual for this course (I have a copy of MLA style). If you are unfamiliar with it or have forgotten how to utilize the MLA formats, contact me immediately and I can provide you with several sources.

 

*On suspicion of cheating and/or plagiarism, the teacher reserves the right to search online for works  from the student’s assignment submission, and to also require the student to redraw the same assignment (or another work) while the teacher is physically present. The teacher also has the right to suspect then privately approach any student if cheating and/or plagiarism is sensed.

 

Course Geography: Students should use the syllabus as a map or guide to the course. Although you have completed a thorough orientation to OLC, you will still need special directions for each session’s activities and assignments. This will require your weekly participation throughout the semester. Class discussions should include substantive input from each student each week.

 

Course Assignments: There will be a variety of drawing activities/assignments as the course progresses. Quizzes and additional activities (discussions, presentations, new drawing methods at the advanced Drawing II level, etc.) should be anticipated. I may retain all written student work in portfolios as well as a record of your completed & comprehended assignments.  ALL HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS DUE AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS.

 

PARTICIPATION STANDARD/COMMUNICATION REQUIREMENTS:

OLC’s institutional attendance policy is outlined on page 13 of the current catalog which states:

Students are required to attend class regularly. If a student wishes to be excused from a class, it is the student’s responsibility to clear the absence with the instructor. At that time, the student must arrange for a make-up assignment. An excused absence is counted in a student’s total number of absences. A student may be dropped from a course after three consecutive absences at the discretion of the instructor and district director and will be dropped after five total absences. The instructor must submit a drop card by the 15th week or a letter grade.

Additionally, in this course, 2 tardies (consecutive or not) equate one absence. Students are expected to actively participate in class WEEKLY throughout the semester by demonstrating and exhibiting a tertiary level (at the very least) of weekly class involvement having read & screened all assigned materials.

 

Attendance:

  • Attendance in this class is absolutely required.  Much happens in class which can never be made up by reading a chapter or doing some written exercises. 
  • Normally, missed classes CANNOT BE MADE UP for this course. Prompt & consistent attendance is required.
  • Each student, present or absent, is responsible and accountable for his or her assignments, attendance, and participation.
  • Therefore, the following attendance policy will be followed:
    • Three (3) ‘unexcused’ absences (largely defined) in a row constitutes an automatic drop.
    • Five (5) scattered ‘unexcused’ absences (largely defined) constitute an automatic drop (or a total of 15 hours missed).
    • Tardiness and leaving early will be recorded (see below). Further, 2 tardies = 1 absence in my class.
    • All ABSENCES – EXCUSED OR UNEXCUSED – will be used to drop each student who has exceeded absences by OLC Registrar. Once a student is dropped, they CANNOT be reinstated (OLC Registrar policy/Dept. of Education).
    • Students must not exceed ‘break time’ past the regulated 15 minutes class recess block.
    • Both Absences & Tardies result in student points deletion
    • The instructor will decide whether or not an ABSENCE is Excused or Unexcused.
    • Class begins promptly on the hour. Students who arrive 1 minute past the set time will be marked TARDY.
    • Students who arrive after the first hour of class are considered ABSENT for the day.
    • Students who leave class before the designated end time without my authorization are considered ABSENT for the day. Informing me (the instructor) of your absence does not equate an ‘excused’ absence.
    • Students will lose points when TARDY, ABSENT, or when not working during their presence in class.
    • Attendance is recorded by me (the instructor) at the beginning of class, and is the first task upon commencement of class time.
  • If you must miss a class in case of an emergency, you should call or email the instructor, and pick up assignments from my box at the college center, or utilize other methods of correspondence in regards to make-up work. Do not call to speak to me once class for the day/evening has begun (9am/1pm/5pm). If you are to be late, or absent for class, please leave a polite message with the college center staff, & leave the message(s) by at least 15 minutes before class begins. Please be considerate.
  • Early leave from class (unannounced and/or not authorized by the instructor) is considered an absence for the day. Also, if you announce or inform me that you will leave prior to the completion of class (12noon/4pm/8pm), it may also be considered an absence. Please inform me via email or by phone ahead of time (15 minutes before class begins) to discuss. Please be considerate.
  • You should also be aware that drops from my class will very likely affect your financial award:  Pell, Higher Ed., Scholarships, etc. You must be willing to make a commitment in order to be successful in your journey at OLC.
  • At an announced point in time during the semester, the OLC Registrar’s office will drop you from courses if class absences are exceeded. Instructors no longer have the initial control on the OLC Jenzabar site in this regard – EXCUSED ABSENCES also result in OLC Registrar’s Office officially dropping you from class.

 

  • Incompletes:An incomplete grade is given only when the instructor feels special circumstances warrant it.  Not turning work in on time is no excuse.

 

Feedback Schedule: I hope to provide you feedback the day(s)/week(s) following the submission of an assignment. I will be checking my OLC email (gcournoyer@olc.edu) frequently throughout the week. I will also utilize your OLC email address to communicate with you, & am open to use your other email addresses to correspond with you if needed.

 

Course Procedures and Policies on Late Assignments:

 Late Work will receive one of the two following grades:

5.               The grade the work actually deserves.

6.               The reduced grade because of lateness.

NOTE: It is the student’s responsibility to keep copies of all papers and records of grades in case of a grade dispute.

 

Methods for Delivering Assignments: Each assignment should be submitted by the student (herself/himself). There may be circumstances which may require a student to submit an assignment in an alternative manner; however, the alternative delivery should be discussed with me before the assignment’s due date. You need to retain a copy of all of your activities and assignments. I should never have the only copy of anything (consider a USB flash drive and/or a CD that archives your work).

 

QUIZZES: Quizzes are held at the very beginning of class immediately following attendance/roll call. Quizzes cannot be made up once completed (as many of them are ORAL/VERBAL due to line memorization for parts from a particular speech, while written are to ensure that textbook reading has been completed & comprehended by the start of every class period). Points accumulated during quizzes will be used toward your final grade. Some of the main purposes of quizzing students is to more further: combat tardiness, enforce the reading assignments from the previous week, aid students in point accumulation, as well as help them hone in on their acting ‘chops’/expressive craft. Quizzes in this class are based on PAINTING techniques and will show if a student has practiced their Drawing methods consistently while outside of class.

 

MIDTERM & FINAL EXAMS: TBD

 

RESEARCH: While there is no formal research/term paper assigned for this course, students have the option in discussing with me the possibilities of composing one.

 

NOTE ON PEER REVIEW: While it would behoove you to allow another person to review & critique your performative assignments, I am highly concerned about whom you allow to do so. Please choose a reviewer who is well informed, truly experienced, & positive of the Art 243 PAINTING II level expectation. I strongly suggest you choose an experienced tutor to review your work. However, it is helpful to kindly ask and involve friends and family members to help with inspirational critique :o)

Course Evaluation: I expect students to complete the instructor evaluation distributed at the end of the course. Ideally, this activity will be completed during week thirteen or fourteen of the semester. I value your viewpoint and your assessment of each course. It is vital to my continued development as an instructor.

STUDENT ASSIGNMENT EVALUATION: At the very least, this course will utilize the drawing standards used in the Art 223 Painting I course as far as skill and criteria are concerned.

 

LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION: Only students that complete this course with a letter grade of ‘B’ will be allowed LORs, or letters of recommendation.

 

Disclaimer: Information contained in this syllabus is, to the best knowledge of the instructor, considered correct and complete when distributed for use at the beginning of the semester. However, this syllabus should not be considered an inflexible ‘contract’ between Oglala Lakota College and any student. The instructor reserves the right to make necessary changes in course content and/or the instructional technique with reasonable notice.

ART 303 Course Prerequisites: LIT 203 and ENGL 113 with a minimum grade of “C”. If, for some reason, the OLC Registrar’s office permitted an ‘override’ for you that exempted you from enrolling and adequately passing LIT 203 and ENG 113 beforehand, I will research the situation until it is properly rectified.

ART 303 Course Objectives: As the students successfully progress through this world art history survey, they will establish their knowledge-base of the global (translated or in original writ) aesthetic world view up to the preRenaissance era.  It is expected that the art history concepts learned in the pre-requisite LIT 203 and ENGL 113 are common thought and usage amongst the students. Students can also enhance their electronic information retrieval skills in ART 303, as well as expect to dive into selections from literature, history, philosophy, politics, and other disciplines.

 

All art invited to investigate the numerous EMPLOYMENT and CAREER opportunities this class may enable (art historian, art professor, literature professor, museum curatorship, art retrieval, auction houses, art appraisal, artist/artisan, graphic design, etc.)

 

Additionally, the utilization of Lakota perspective is highly encouraged in this course. Lakota Iyapi always welcome. Lakota perspective always welcome.

 

LAKOTA PERSPECTIVE PROVIDED THROUGH, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

  • Students are aware of their cultural identity.
  • Students will have a sense of Lakota and other indigenous people, and non-native history.
  • Students will have careers relevant to Liberal Arts which enhance and benefit life on and off the reservation.
  • Students will be prepared for graduate level work.
  • Students exhibit civic responsibility.

The Lakota perspective, especially the practice of Wolakota and Wolakolkiciyapi, is provided via the interaction between students and the instructor where the traditional Lakota values of patience, mutual respect, and honor are maintained. Students are expected to assist the instructor with the inclusion of the Lakota perspective within the scope of all of this course’s activities. It is heavily encouraged that student thought, expression, and discussions continually supply a Lakota perspective on any topic considered in class.

 

 

 

 

 

CLASS & STUDENT CONDUCT (in relation to Wolakota and Wolakolkiciyapi):

  • Wolakolkiciyapi: Students are encouraged to display the Lakota values of respect, knowledge, generosity, fortitude, truthfulness, and courage. If a student displays hostility, irrelevant & disruptive over-garrulousness, or other misconduct that is disturbing to his or her classmates and the instructor, the instructor will meet with that student privately to discuss the matter. Racial, and/or sexist slurs, jokes, teases, or other types of snide, hurtful, inappropriate , discriminatory,  bullying, or embarrassing remarks or actions performed in/out of class times toward fellow students, guests, visitors, OLC staff, & faculty are considered ‘student misconduct’. If misconduct persists, students may be approached by OLC administration. These comments can easily be considered threats which are grounds for expulsion from OLC and an immediate DROP or ‘F’ grade in my class. When students comment on the ‘uselessness’ of ART 303 courses, students should be prepared for me (instructor) to question them on the spot as why they would thoughtlessly produce such shallow, unfounded comments.
  • CLASS DISRUPTIONS: Abrupt, random outbursts of loud garrulousness will not be tolerated (e.g., when speaking to me (the instructor), other students, staff, on the cell phone, passersby, etc. ). Violent activities, loud music devices played at inappropriate times during class, noisy and late entrances into class once in session, hostile tones and comments/personalities, copying assigned work from another, incessant and disruptive movements, disruptive chatter amongst students who appear not to be attentive to lessons, etc., are not tolerated.
  • SEXUAL HARASSMENT is not tolerated within or without class times toward fellow students, guests, visitors, OLC staff & faculty either online, via email, by phone, vis-à-vis/in person, or by other modes of digital communication (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Bebo, Linked In, MySpace, iPod, iPod Touch, blogging, etc.). Since sexual harassment may be classified as a threat, a student can be immediately expelled from OLC. Additionally, a DROP or ‘F’ grade in my class will result. Sexual harassment is considered to be any of the following, but not limited to: unwanted touching of another’s body that causes the other’s discomfort; unwanted vocal, facial, or bodily expressions of an unwanted sexual nature from one student to another; any form of unwanted digital communication utilizing sexual denotational or connotational innuendo; sexual abuse of double entendres in any language; harmful teasing of one’s personal choice in sexual orientation (e.g., we will not use terms such as ‘faggot’, ‘homo’, ‘dyke’, ‘butch’, etc. in any harmful or uncomfortable way – therefore, the use of these terms is prohibited); inappropriate verbal or other use of body parts from one student to another; bullying of a student to date you or even ‘hang out’ with you;  ‘ogling’ of any form over another’s body and/or body parts inappropriately; sexual physical assault; date rape; use of pornographic images to approach another inappropriately; approaching another to pay for sexual favors; stalking; vocabulary that inappropriately privileges one gender or sex over the other; unwanted company; inappropriate approaching for a ‘date’; flirting to get your way; the meaning of ‘NO’; defamation; cyber bullying affiliated with sexual harassment; etc. Sexual harassment can be caused by, and happen to anyone regardless of race, gender, sex, status, age, etc.
  • THREATS,  USE OF NEPOTISM, STUDENT INSUBORDINATION: While freedom of creative, thoughtful expression is absolutely encouraged in this course, I will not tolerate any form of insubordination, thoughtless insult, or any form of threat by students (e.g., threat to use a family relation or associate on the school, college center board, or political prestige as a way to bully or ‘corner’ the instructor or other students from progressing or exercising their rights enforced by OLC policy; physical or verbal threats imposed on others; gang related; family related; romantically linked, etc.). If a student feels that another in the class has displayed such hostility, the ‘accused’ will be privately approached by instructor for a resolution. If threats/insubordination persist, OLC administration will be prompted for possible and immediate expulsion from OLC as well as an immediate DROP or ‘F’ grade in my class (in concurrence with OLC policies for student grievance, disciplinary actions, etc.). A student’s personal expression of who they are NEVER LICENSES their right to impose upon another student, faculty, staff, administration, class guest, etc. According to OLC policy, all students are encouraged to practice their right to file a grievance against another student freely.
  • STUDENTS UNDER THE INFLUENCE: On suspicion, the instructor reserves the right to approach intoxicated students under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, illegal use of prescription drugs, and other substances. Most likely, these students will be immediately sent home and reported to that OLC college center’s administrative personnel. Students are expected to perform academic assignments while sober, and alert. The teacher will approach a student about their online assignment submissions on suspicion of alcohol influence, use of illegal drugs, illegal use of prescription drugs, and other substances.
  • TOBACCO ON CAMPUS: The use of commercial chewing and/or smoking tobacco for leisure is absolutely prohibited at all OLC college centers and grounds as well as inside the classrooms (whether class is in session or otherwise).
  • DISABILITY: If you feel you have a disability and are in need of assistance to successfully complete this class please contact the OLC Coordinator of Support Services, at (605)455-6040. I am happily always ready to offer any assistance as your teacher to ensure your well being :o)  
  • See OLC 2010-11 Catalog,  and the OLC 2010-11 Academic Planner for more details.
  • CHILDREN: As OLC college center policy states, children of students are not permitted in class while it is in session. Please make arrangements for their care outside class. While children are a blessing, there is no facility available that allows children to be present in classes with their parent(s). I am absolutely strict with this rule. Students who must leave or be absent from class due to child issues will be marked absent for that day/evening. Situation approached on a case by case basis.

*As situations not listed above arise, other codes of conduct, conduct resolutions, etc. will be utilized. Teacher reserves the right to combine the above words and OLC 201-2011 Catalog AND OLC 2010-2011 Academic Planner policies, OLC Policy and Procedure Manual links on the college website (http://www.olc.edu/about/governance/), as well as OLC Administrative personnel regarding class & student conduct along with other aspects listed in this syllabus as deemed necessary (e.g., Academic Integrity & Plagiarism, Policies on Plagiarism or Cheating, etc. ).

 

Course Outcomes:

  1. Students will establish an understanding of global art history and its reflection of the human experience while reinforcing their analytical and critical thinking skills by developing individual theoretical interpretations of the various literary selections studied.
  2. Students will enhance their existing electronic information retrieval skills by accessing examples of critical theory written by other art, literature, history, philosophy, and other cultural scholars.
  3. By studying art history selections of various genres, students will enhance their understanding of how Lakota culture relates to other systems around the world.
  4. By forming individual critical theories based on the art history selections studied throughout the survey and sharing it with their classmates, students will reinforce their oral and written communication skills.
  5. As a result of the course’s reading selections, students will enhance their current reading and art history appreciation skills.

 

Students will be required to:

  1. Discuss (orally and in writing) various literary genres as represented by the literary selections within the course’s anthology,
  2. Participate in class activities by reading the various literary assignments from the Stokstad anthology,
  3. Complete and submit a personal literary journal in the form of consecutive homework assignments (TBDetailed),
  4. Familiarize themselves with the various art history components associated with the global historic genres,
  5. Maintain and submit a course portfolio (which is composed of submitted assignments to be kept in a folder by the instructor),
  6. Collaborate with other Art History students, along with other English-Communications, and Art majors.
  7. Complete the OLC instructor evaluation for ART 303: Art History, part I.

 

Learning Objectives: The Humanities and Social Sciences department has adopted the following objectives:

  1. The ability to identify, define, solve, & reflect on situations found in literature. (Critical Thinking)
  2. The ability to locate and evaluate information utilizing some current technology. (Research and Writing)
  3. The ability to communicate with accuracy and clarity. (Speaking, Writing, Thinking of Art History)
  4. The ability to read, comprehend, retain, apply and utilize sources of information responsibly. (Reading and Writing)
  5. Develop an understanding of Lakota culture and philosophy within the broader context of a diverse global society.

Oglala Lakota College has adopted the improvement of student learning as an integral purpose related to students’ learning objectives. Additionally, the OLC Humanities and Social Sciences Department encourages this fundamental belief within its ART 303: ART HISTORY, part I course. As a result of the reflective process each student undergoes, students will have the opportunity to develop an enhanced understanding of the integral aspect of global art history’s “human & artful experience” from a multiplicity of perspectives internationally.

 

Learning Outcomes: By the successful completion of ART 303:Art History, part I, students will have demonstrated their ability to enhance their literacy skills (reading and writing) and art history by presenting evidence of critical thinking; communicating clearly and accurately (orally and in writing); comparing Lakota culture and philosophy with other systems within our diverse global society; and an improvement in their overall learning strategies with a level of expertise reflecting the second-year student (sophomore)  or higher level experience.

           

Student Responsibilities and Special Course Requirements: Our department has adopted a course portfolio policy for all of our courses, including Art History. Each student will retain a personal copy of all of her/his activity and assignment materials for her/his course portfolios. Active class participation is an essential element to the successful completion of this course. Each student will be expected to participate by involving herself/himself in each activity and assignment as this course progresses.

 

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism: Oglala Lakota College has established an academic dishonesty policy. The current OLC college catalog states:

“Academic dishonesty is the taking of an examination or preparation of papers for credit wherein the student knowingly represents the work of another as his/her own; and/or knowingly breaks stated examination rules. A student may be expelled and barred from further classes upon proof in a hearing of academic dishonesty”. (10)

 

POLICIES ON PLAGIARISM OR CHEATING:

Part of the learning process includes the review and integration of the work of others with your thoughts and ideas. In this process, there is no room for plagiarism, which robs you of meaningful learning and is unfair to the original author. Plagiarism is an ethical violation that is not tolerated at OLC. Oglala Lakota College faculty and staff are fully aware of the many online resources now available and we encourage you to focus on learning rather than the inappropriate use of another person's work without proper citation (a form of acknowledgement).

 

Although a person may give her/his permission to you to utilize her/his words or ideas, it is plagiarism unless you credit her/him for the specific idea or words. You are responsible for understanding plagiarism. Contact me with any questions you may have. Most cases of plagiarism are the result of improper citation or utilization of punctuation (quotation marks) and can be easily avoided. We will utilize the current MLA style manual for this course (I have a copy of MLA style). If you are unfamiliar with it or have forgotten how to utilize the MLA formats, contact me immediately and I can provide you with several sources. However, along with LIT 203, ENG 113 is a prerequisite for this course already.

 

*On suspicion of cheating and/or plagiarism, the teacher reserves the right to search online for phrases and words verbatim from the student’s assignment submission, and to also require the student to rewrite the same assignment (or another work) while the teacher is physically present. The teacher also has the right to suspect then privately approach any student if cheating and/or plagiarism is sensed.

 

Course Geography: Students should use the syllabus as a map or guide to the course. Although you have completed a thorough orientation to OLC, you will still need special directions for each session’s activities and assignments. This will require your weekly participation throughout the semester. Class discussions should include substantive input from each student each week.

 

Course Assignments: There will be a variety of reading and written activities and assignments explicating art history as the course progresses. Among these are interpretive and reflective essays, and course portfolios. Quizzes and additional activities (discussions, presentations, etc.) should be anticipated. I will provide and retain all student work in portfolio folders that I will distribute. ALL ASSIGNMENTS DUE AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY CLASS or VIA EMAIL PRIOR TO CLASS ATTENDANCE.

 

QUIZZES: Quizzes are held at the very beginning of class immediately following attendance/roll call. Quizzes cannot be made up once completed. Points accumulated during quizzes will be used toward your final grade. Some of the main purposes of quizzing students is to more further: combat tardiness, enforce the reading assignments from the previous week, & to aid students in point accumulation.

 

ELECTRONIC/ORAL MIDTERM & FINAL EXAMS: DATES/TIMES TBD.

 

RESEARCH: While there is no formal research/term paper assigned for this course, students have the option in discussing with me the possibilities of composing one. There may also be an option to present your literary research at an academic conference.

 

Grading Criteria and Total Components of a Grade: Course grades will be based on participation and completion of assignments listed below in syllabus timeline.  For a passing grade, students must obtain 70% or higher. (see below for further information on evaluation standards of written assignments).

Departmental Grading Scale:

A = 90-100 %

B = 80-89   %

C = 70-79   %

D = 60=69   %

F = Below 60 %

 

PARTICIPATION STANDARD/COMMUNICATION REQUIREMENTS:

OLC’s institutional attendance policy is outlined on page 13 of the current catalog which states:

Students are required to attend class regularly. If a student wishes to be excused from a class, it is the student’s responsibility to clear the absence with the instructor first. At that time, the student must arrange for a make-up assignment. An excused absence is counted in a student’s total number of absences. A student may be dropped from a course after three consecutive absences at the discretion of the instructor and district director and will be dropped after five total absences. The instructor must submit a drop card by the 15th week or a letter grade.

Additionally, in this course, 2 tardies (consecutive or not) equate one absence. Students are expected to actively participate in class WEEKLY throughout the semester by demonstrating and exhibiting a tertiary level (at the very least) of weekly class involvement having read & screened all assigned materials.

 

Attendance:

  • Attendance in this class is absolutely required.  Much happens in class which can never be made up by reading a chapter or doing some written exercises. 
  • Each student, present or absent, is responsible and accountable for his or her assignments, attendance, and participation.
  • Therefore, the following attendance policy will be followed:
    • Three (3) ‘unexcused’ absences (largely defined) in a row constitutes an automatic drop.
    • Five (5) scattered ‘unexcused’ absences (largely defined) constitute an automatic drop (or a total of 15 hours missed).
    • Tardiness and leaving early will be recorded (see below). Further, 2 tardies = 1 absence in my class.
    • All ABSENCES – EXCUSED OR UNEXCUSED – will be used to drop each student who has exceeded absences by OLC Registrar. Once a student is dropped, they CANNOT be reinstated (OLC Registrar policy).
    • If your absences affect your performance in class, absences (and tallied tardies) may result in a grade that is dependent upon your attendance/non-attendance.
  • If you must miss a class in case of an emergency, you should call or email the instructor, and pick up assignments from my box at the college center, or utilize other methods of correspondence in regards to make-up work. Do not call to speak to me once class for the day/evening has begun (9am/1pm/5pm). If you are to be late, or absent for class, please leave a polite message with the college center staff, & leave the message(s) by at least 15 minutes before class begins. Please be considerate.
  • Early leave from class (unannounced & not authorized by the instructor) is considered an absence for the day. Also, if you announce or inform me that you will leave prior to the completion of class (12noon/4pm), it may also be considered an absence. Please inform me via email or by phone ahead of time (15 minutes before class begins) to discuss. NOTE: Simply ‘asking’ the teacher to be excused during class before the day’s course hours are complete does not automatically license a student toward an ‘excused absence’. Please be considerate and serious about your work and class attendance.
  • You should also be aware that drops from my class will very likely affect your financial award:  Pell, Higher Ed., Scholarships, etc. You must be willing to make a commitment in order to be successful in your journey at OLC.
  • At an announced point in time during the semester, the OLC Registrar’s office will drop you from courses if class absences are exceeded. Instructors no longer have the initial control on the OLC Jenzabar site in this regard – EXCUSED ABSENCES also result in OLC Registrar’s Office officially dropping you from class.

 

Feedback Schedule: I hope to provide you feedback the day(s)/week(s) following the submission of an assignment. I will be checking my OLC email (kclose@olc.edu) frequently throughout the week. I will also utilize your OLC email address to communicate with you, & am open to use your other email addresses to correspond with you if needed.

 

Course Procedures and Policies on Late Assignments:

 Late Papers will receive one of the two following grades:

7.             The grade the work actually deserves.

8.             The reduced grade because of lateness.

NOTE: It is the student’s responsibility to keep copies of all papers and records of grades in case of a grade dispute.

 

Methods for Delivering Assignments: Each assignment should be submitted by the student (herself/himself). Remember to utilize all of your edit/revision tools learned in ENG 103/113 & LIT 203. Assignment documents can be formatted with the current or older edition of MS Word software. There may be circumstances which may require a student to submit an assignment in an alternative manner. However, the alternative delivery should be discussed with me before the assignment’s due date. You need to retain a copy of all of your activities and assignments. I should never have the only copy of anything (consider a USB flash drive for your archives).

NOTE ON PEER REVIEW: While it would behoove you to allow another person to review & critique your written assignments, I am highly concerned about whom you allow to do so. Please choose a reviewer who is well informed, truly experienced, & positive of the writing level expectations of ART 303: Art History, part I. I strongly suggest you choose an experienced academic tutor to look over your work. Please do not allow them to solely edit/revise, as that task is upon you.

Course Evaluation: I expect students to complete the instructor evaluation distributed at the end of the course. Ideally, this activity will be completed during week thirteen or fourteen of the semester. I value your viewpoint and your assessment of each course. It is vital to my continued development as an instructor.

STUDENT ASSIGNMENT EVALUATION: At the very least, this literature course will utilize the writing standards used in the ENG 103: Freshman Writing I as far as editing & format are considered. However, the reflective level of ideas should be at the ENG 113: Freshman Writing II level (see attached writing rubric scoring sheets).

 

LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION: Only students that complete this course with a letter grade of ‘B’ or higher will be allowed LORs, or letters of recommendation.

 

Disclaimer: Information contained in this syllabus is, to the best knowledge of the instructor, considered correct and complete when distributed for use at the beginning of the semester. However, this syllabus should not be considered an inflexible ‘contract’ between Oglala Lakota College and any student. The instructor reserves the right to make necessary changes in course content and/or the instructional technique with reasonable notice.

ART 313 Course Prerequisites: LIT 203 and ENGL 113 with a minimum grade of “C”. If, for some reason, the OLC Registrar’s office permitted an ‘override’ for you that exempted you from enrolling and adequately passing LIT 203 and ENG 113 beforehand, I will research the situation until it is properly rectified.

ART 313 Course Objectives: As the students successfully progress through this world art history survey, they will establish their knowledge-base of the global (translated or in original writ) aesthetic world view beginning with the European Renaissance era.  It is expected that the art history concepts learned in the pre-requisite LIT 203 and ENGL 113 are common thought and usage amongst the students. Students can also enhance their electronic information retrieval skills in ART 313, as well as expect to dive into selections from literature, history, philosophy, politics, and other disciplines.

 

All art invited to investigate the numerous EMPLOYMENT and CAREER opportunities this class may enable (art historian, art professor, literature professor, museum curatorship, art retrieval, auction houses, art appraisal, artist/artisan, graphic design, etc.)

 

Additionally, the utilization of Lakota perspective is highly encouraged in this course. Lakota Iyapi always welcome. Lakota perspective always welcome.

 

LAKOTA PERSPECTIVE PROVIDED THROUGH, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

  • Students are aware of their cultural identity.
  • Students will have a sense of Lakota and other indigenous people, and non-native history.
  • Students will have careers relevant to Liberal Arts which enhance and benefit life on and off the reservation.
  • Students will be prepared for graduate level work.
  • Students exhibit civic responsibility.

The Lakota perspective, especially the practice of Wolakota and Wolakolkiciyapi, is provided via the interaction between students and the instructor where the traditional Lakota values of patience, mutual respect, and honor are maintained. Students are expected to assist the instructor with the inclusion of the Lakota perspective within the scope of all of this course’s activities. It is heavily encouraged that student thought, expression, and discussions continually supply a Lakota perspective on any topic considered in class.

 

CLASS & STUDENT CONDUCT (in relation to Wolakota and Wolakolkiciyapi):

  • Wolakolkiciyapi: Students are encouraged to display the Lakota values of respect, knowledge, generosity, fortitude, truthfulness, and courage. If a student displays hostility, irrelevant & disruptive over-garrulousness, or other misconduct that is disturbing to his or her classmates and the instructor, the instructor will meet with that student privately to discuss the matter. Racial, and/or sexist slurs, jokes, teases, or other types of snide, hurtful, inappropriate , discriminatory,  bullying, or embarrassing remarks or actions performed in/out of class times toward fellow students, guests, visitors, OLC staff, & faculty are considered ‘student misconduct’. If misconduct persists, students may be approached by OLC administration. These comments can easily be considered threats which are grounds for expulsion from OLC and an immediate DROP or ‘F’ grade in my class. When students comment on the ‘uselessness’ of ART 303 courses, students should be prepared for me (instructor) to question them on the spot as why they would thoughtlessly produce such shallow, unfounded comments.
  • CLASS DISRUPTIONS: Abrupt, random outbursts of loud garrulousness will not be tolerated (e.g., when speaking to me (the instructor), other students, staff, on the cell phone, passersby, etc. ). Violent activities, loud music devices played at inappropriate times during class, noisy and late entrances into class once in session, hostile tones and comments/personalities, copying assigned work from another, incessant and disruptive movements, disruptive chatter amongst students who appear not to be attentive to lessons, etc., are not tolerated.
  • SEXUAL HARASSMENT is not tolerated within or without class times toward fellow students, guests, visitors, OLC staff & faculty either online, via email, by phone, vis-à-vis/in person, or by other modes of digital communication (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Bebo, Linked In, MySpace, iPod, iPod Touch, blogging, etc.). Since sexual harassment may be classified as a threat, a student can be immediately expelled from OLC. Additionally, a DROP or ‘F’ grade in my class will result. Sexual harassment is considered to be any of the following, but not limited to: unwanted touching of another’s body that causes the other’s discomfort; unwanted vocal, facial, or bodily expressions of an unwanted sexual nature from one student to another; any form of unwanted digital communication utilizing sexual denotational or connotational innuendo; sexual abuse of double entendres in any language; harmful teasing of one’s personal choice in sexual orientation (e.g., we will not use terms such as ‘faggot’, ‘homo’, ‘dyke’, ‘butch’, etc. in any harmful or uncomfortable way – therefore, the use of these terms is prohibited); inappropriate verbal or other use of body parts from one student to another; bullying of a student to date you or even ‘hang out’ with you;  ‘ogling’ of any form over another’s body and/or body parts inappropriately; sexual physical assault; date rape; use of pornographic images to approach another inappropriately; approaching another to pay for sexual favors; stalking; vocabulary that inappropriately privileges one gender or sex over the other; unwanted company; inappropriate approaching for a ‘date’; flirting to get your way; the meaning of ‘NO’; defamation; cyber bullying affiliated with sexual harassment; etc. Sexual harassment can be caused by, and happen to anyone regardless of race, gender, sex, status, age, etc.
  • THREATS,  USE OF NEPOTISM, STUDENT INSUBORDINATION: While freedom of creative, thoughtful expression is absolutely encouraged in this course, I will not tolerate any form of insubordination, thoughtless insult, or any form of threat by students (e.g., threat to use a family relation or associate on the school, college center board, or political prestige as a way to bully or ‘corner’ the instructor or other students from progressing or exercising their rights enforced by OLC policy; physical or verbal threats imposed on others; gang related; family related; romantically linked, etc.). If a student feels that another in the class has displayed such hostility, the ‘accused’ will be privately approached by instructor for a resolution. If threats/insubordination persist, OLC administration will be prompted for possible and immediate expulsion from OLC as well as an immediate DROP or ‘F’ grade in my class (in concurrence with OLC policies for student grievance, disciplinary actions, etc.). A student’s personal expression of who they are NEVER LICENSES their right to impose upon another student, faculty, staff, administration, class guest, etc. According to OLC policy, all students are encouraged to practice their right to file a grievance against another student freely.
  • STUDENTS UNDER THE INFLUENCE: On suspicion, the instructor reserves the right to approach intoxicated students under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, illegal use of prescription drugs, and other substances. Most likely, these students will be immediately sent home and reported to that OLC college center’s administrative personnel. Students are expected to perform academic assignments while sober, and alert. The teacher will approach a student about their online assignment submissions on suspicion of alcohol influence, use of illegal drugs, illegal use of prescription drugs, and other substances.
  • TOBACCO ON CAMPUS: The use of commercial chewing and/or smoking tobacco for leisure is absolutely prohibited at all OLC college centers and grounds as well as inside the classrooms (whether class is in session or otherwise).
  • DISABILITY: If you feel you have a disability and are in need of assistance to successfully complete this class please contact the OLC Coordinator of Support Services, at (605)455-6040. I am happily always ready to offer any assistance as your teacher to ensure your well being :o)  
  • See OLC 2010-11 Catalog,  and the OLC 2010-11 Academic Planner for more details.
  • CHILDREN: As OLC college center policy states, children of students are not permitted in class while it is in session. Please make arrangements for their care outside class. While children are a blessing, there is no facility available that allows children to be present in classes with their parent(s). I am absolutely strict with this rule. Students who must leave or be absent from class due to child issues will be marked absent for that day/evening. Situation approached on a case by case basis.

*As situations not listed above arise, other codes of conduct, conduct resolutions, etc. will be utilized. Teacher reserves the right to combine the above words and OLC 201-2011 Catalog AND OLC 2010-2011 Academic Planner policies, OLC Policy and Procedure Manual links on the college website (http://www.olc.edu/about/governance/), as well as OLC Administrative personnel regarding class & student conduct along with other aspects listed in this syllabus as deemed necessary (e.g., Academic Integrity & Plagiarism, Policies on Plagiarism or Cheating, etc. ).

 

Course Outcomes:

  1. Students will establish an understanding of global art history and its reflection of the human experience while reinforcing their analytical and critical thinking skills by developing individual theoretical interpretations of the various literary selections studied.
  2. Students will enhance their existing electronic information retrieval skills by accessing examples of critical theory written by other art, literature, history, philosophy, and other cultural scholars.
  3. By studying art history selections of various genres, students will enhance their understanding of how Lakota culture relates to other systems around the world.
  4. By forming individual critical theories based on the art history selections studied throughout the survey and sharing it with their classmates, students will reinforce their oral and written communication skills.
  5. As a result of the course’s reading selections, students will enhance their current reading and art history appreciation skills.

 

 

 

Students will be required to:

  1. Discuss (orally and in writing) various literary genres as represented by the literary selections within the course’s anthology,
  2. Participate in class activities by reading the various literary assignments from the Stokstad anthology,
  3. Complete and submit a personal literary journal in the form of consecutive homework assignments (TBDetailed),
  4. Familiarize themselves with the various art history components associated with the global historic genres,
  5. Maintain and submit a course portfolio (which is composed of submitted assignments to be kept in a folder by the instructor),
  6. Collaborate with other Art History students, along with other English-Communications, and Art majors.
  7. Complete the OLC instructor evaluation for ART 313: Art History, part II.

 

Learning Objectives: The Humanities and Social Sciences department has adopted the following objectives:

  1. The ability to identify, define, solve, & reflect on situations found in literature. (Critical Thinking)
  2. The ability to locate and evaluate information utilizing some current technology. (Research and Writing)
  3. The ability to communicate with accuracy and clarity. (Speaking, Writing, Thinking of Art History)
  4. The ability to read, comprehend, retain, apply and utilize sources of information responsibly. (Reading and Writing)
  5. Develop an understanding of Lakota culture and philosophy within the broader context of a diverse global society.

Oglala Lakota College has adopted the improvement of student learning as an integral purpose related to students’ learning objectives. Additionally, the OLC Humanities and Social Sciences Department encourages this fundamental belief within its ART 313: ART HISTORY, part II course. As a result of the reflective process each student undergoes, students will have the opportunity to develop an enhanced understanding of the integral aspect of global art history’s “human & artful experience” from a multiplicity of perspectives internationally.

 

Learning Outcomes: By the successful completion of ART 313:Art History, part II, students will have demonstrated their ability to enhance their literacy skills (reading and writing) and art history by presenting evidence of critical thinking; communicating clearly and accurately (orally and in writing); comparing Lakota culture and philosophy with other systems within our diverse global society; and an improvement in their overall learning strategies with a level of expertise reflecting the second-year student (sophomore)  or higher level experience.

           

Student Responsibilities and Special Course Requirements: Our department has adopted a course portfolio policy for all of our courses, including Art History. Each student will retain a personal copy of all of her/his activity and assignment materials for her/his course portfolios. Active class participation is an essential element to the successful completion of this course. Each student will be expected to participate by involving herself/himself in each activity and assignment as this course progresses.

 

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism: Oglala Lakota College has established an academic dishonesty policy. The current OLC college catalog states:

“Academic dishonesty is the taking of an examination or preparation of papers for credit wherein the student knowingly represents the work of another as his/her own; and/or knowingly breaks stated examination rules. A student may be expelled and barred from further classes upon proof in a hearing of academic dishonesty”. (10)

 

POLICIES ON PLAGIARISM OR CHEATING:

Part of the learning process includes the review and integration of the work of others with your thoughts and ideas. In this process, there is no room for plagiarism, which robs you of meaningful learning and is unfair to the original author. Plagiarism is an ethical violation that is not tolerated at OLC. Oglala Lakota College faculty and staff are fully aware of the many online resources now available and we encourage you to focus on learning rather than the inappropriate use of another person's work without proper citation (a form of acknowledgement).

 

Although a person may give her/his permission to you to utilize her/his words or ideas, it is plagiarism unless you credit her/him for the specific idea or words. You are responsible for understanding plagiarism. Contact me with any questions you may have. Most cases of plagiarism are the result of improper citation or utilization of punctuation (quotation marks) and can be easily avoided. We will utilize the current MLA style manual for this course (I have a copy of MLA style). If you are unfamiliar with it or have forgotten how to utilize the MLA formats, contact me immediately and I can provide you with several sources. However, along with LIT 203, ENG 113 is a prerequisite for this course already.

 

*On suspicion of cheating and/or plagiarism, the teacher reserves the right to search online for phrases and words verbatim from the student’s assignment submission, and to also require the student to rewrite the same assignment (or another work) while the teacher is physically present. The teacher also has the right to suspect then privately approach any student if cheating and/or plagiarism is sensed.

 

Course Geography: Students should use the syllabus as a map or guide to the course. Although you have completed a thorough orientation to OLC, you will still need special directions for each session’s activities and assignments. This will require your weekly participation throughout the semester. Class discussions should include substantive input from each student each week.

 

Course Assignments: There will be a variety of reading and written activities and assignments explicating art history as the course progresses. Among these are interpretive and reflective essays, and course portfolios. Quizzes and additional activities (discussions, presentations, etc.) should be anticipated. I will provide and retain all student work in portfolio folders that I will distribute. ALL ASSIGNMENTS DUE AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY CLASS or VIA EMAIL PRIOR TO CLASS ATTENDANCE.

 

QUIZZES: Quizzes are held at the very beginning of class immediately following attendance/roll call. Quizzes cannot be made up once completed. Points accumulated during quizzes will be used toward your final grade. Some of the main purposes of quizzing students is to more further: combat tardiness, enforce the reading assignments from the previous week, & to aid students in point accumulation.

 

ELECTRONIC/ORAL MIDTERM & FINAL EXAMS: DATES/TIMES TBD.

 

RESEARCH: While there is no formal research/term paper assigned for this course, students have the option in discussing with me the possibilities of composing one. There may also be an option to present your literary research at an academic conference.

 

Grading Criteria and Total Components of a Grade: Course grades will be based on participation and completion of assignments listed below in syllabus timeline.  For a passing grade, students must obtain 70% or higher. (see below for further information on evaluation standards of written assignments).

Departmental Grading Scale:

A = 90-100 %

B = 80-89   %

C = 70-79   %

D = 60=69   %

F = Below 60 %

 

PARTICIPATION STANDARD/COMMUNICATION REQUIREMENTS:

OLC’s institutional attendance policy is outlined on page 13 of the current catalog which states:

Students are required to attend class regularly. If a student wishes to be excused from a class, it is the student’s responsibility to clear the absence with the instructor first. At that time, the student must arrange for a make-up assignment. An excused absence is counted in a student’s total number of absences. A student may be dropped from a course after three consecutive absences at the discretion of the instructor and district director and will be dropped after five total absences. The instructor must submit a drop card by the 15th week or a letter grade.

Additionally, in this course, 2 tardies (consecutive or not) equate one absence. Students are expected to actively participate in class WEEKLY throughout the semester by demonstrating and exhibiting a tertiary level (at the very least) of weekly class involvement having read & screened all assigned materials.

 

Attendance:

  • Attendance in this class is absolutely required.  Much happens in class which can never be made up by reading a chapter or doing some written exercises. 
  • Each student, present or absent, is responsible and accountable for his or her assignments, attendance, and participation.
  • Therefore, the following attendance policy will be followed:
    • Three (3) ‘unexcused’ absences (largely defined) in a row constitutes an automatic drop.
    • Five (5) scattered ‘unexcused’ absences (largely defined) constitute an automatic drop (or a total of 15 hours missed).
    • Tardiness and leaving early will be recorded (see below). Further, 2 tardies = 1 absence in my class.
    • All ABSENCES – EXCUSED OR UNEXCUSED – will be used to drop each student who has exceeded absences by OLC Registrar. Once a student is dropped, they CANNOT be reinstated (OLC Registrar policy).
    • If your absences affect your performance in class, absences (and tallied tardies) may result in a grade that is dependent upon your attendance/non-attendance.
    • Class begin promptly at 5pm. Students are considered TARDY in this class by 5:01pm.
    • Arrival to class after the first hour is considered an ABSENCE for the day.
  • If you must miss a class in case of an emergency, you should call or email the instructor, and pick up assignments from my box at the college center, or utilize other methods of correspondence in regards to make-up work. Do not call to speak to me once class for the day/evening has begun (9am/1pm/5pm). If you are to be late, or absent for class, please leave a polite message with the college center staff, & leave the message(s) by at least 15 minutes before class begins. Please be considerate.
  • Early leave from class (unannounced & not authorized by the instructor) is considered an absence for the day. Also, if you announce or inform me that you will leave prior to the completion of class (12noon/4pm), it may also be considered an absence. Please inform me via email or by phone ahead of time (15 minutes before class begins) to discuss. NOTE: Simply ‘asking’ the teacher to be excused during class before the day’s course hours are complete does not automatically license a student toward an ‘excused absence’. Please be considerate and serious about your work and class attendance.
  • You should also be aware that drops from my class will very likely affect your financial award:  Pell, Higher Ed., Scholarships, etc. You must be willing to make a commitment in order to be successful in your journey at OLC.
  • At an announced point in time during the semester, the OLC Registrar’s office will drop you from courses if class absences are exceeded. Instructors no longer have the initial control on the OLC Jenzabar site in this regard – EXCUSED ABSENCES also result in OLC Registrar’s Office officially dropping you from class.

 

Feedback Schedule: I hope to provide you feedback the day(s)/week(s) following the submission of an assignment. I will be checking my OLC email (kclose@olc.edu) frequently throughout the week. I will also utilize your OLC email address to communicate with you, & am open to use your other email addresses to correspond with you if needed.

 

Course Procedures and Policies on Late Assignments:

 Late Papers will receive one of the two following grades:

9.             The grade the work actually deserves.

10.         The reduced grade because of lateness.

NOTE: It is the student’s responsibility to keep copies of all papers and records of grades in case of a grade dispute.

 

Methods for Delivering Assignments: Each assignment should be submitted by the student (herself/himself). Remember to utilize all of your edit/revision tools learned in ENG 103/113 & LIT 203. Assignment documents can be formatted with the current or older edition of MS Word software. There may be circumstances which may require a student to submit an assignment in an alternative manner. However, the alternative delivery should be discussed with me before the assignment’s due date. You need to retain a copy of all of your activities and assignments. I should never have the only copy of anything (consider a USB flash drive for your archives).

NOTE ON PEER REVIEW: While it would behoove you to allow another person to review & critique your written assignments, I am highly concerned about whom you allow to do so. Please choose a reviewer who is well informed, truly experienced, & positive of the writing level expectations of ART 313: Art History, part II. I strongly suggest you choose an experienced academic tutor to look over your work. Please do not allow them to solely edit/revise, as that task is upon you.

Course Evaluation: I expect students to complete the instructor evaluation distributed at the end of the course. Ideally, this activity will be completed during week thirteen or fourteen of the semester. I value your viewpoint and your assessment of each course. It is vital to my continued development as an instructor.

STUDENT ASSIGNMENT EVALUATION: At the very least, this literature course will utilize the writing standards used in the ENG 103: Freshman Writing I as far as editing & format are considered. However, the reflective level of ideas should be at the ENG 113: Freshman Writing II level (see attached writing rubric scoring sheets).

 

LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION: Only students that complete this course with a letter grade of ‘B’ or higher will be allowed LORs, or letters of recommendation.

 

Disclaimer: Information contained in this syllabus is, to the best knowledge of the instructor, considered correct and complete when distributed for use at the beginning of the semester. However, this syllabus should not be considered an inflexible ‘contract’ between Oglala Lakota College and any student. The instructor reserves the right to make necessary changes in course content and/or the instructional technique with reasonable notice.

 

 

 

English I Rubric (basic writing evaluation for LIT 203: Intro. To Literature)

            1                      2                      3                      4

 

The body involves information that is developed and supported in topic sentences.  Paragraphs support the thesis.  The evidence is necessary and relevant and contains a balance of both generalities and specifics (details, anecdotes, statistics, etc.)  Claims are supported rationally or empirically.  Transitions are used to signal organization within a paragraph and/or between paragraphs.  The essay is well organized and reads smoothly from beginning to end.  The information is focused and apparent digressions connect with the thesis.  The approach to the topic is interesting,

demonstrates an air of inquiry, challenges what someone says or writes, and makes an evaluation.  When readings and presentations are used, they are evaluated analyzed, and interpreted and not merely summarized.

            1                      2                      3                      4
