experience possible from this flipped course. Note: Tutorials are also viewable in the
Start Here module of the course website.
COMMUNICATIONS: You should make a point to regularly check for course-related
notices via the Announcement tool on the Canvas course website. To “regularly check”
means as often as possible, typically two times a week. If you fail to keep up with posted
Announcements, you risk missing important information related to the course, including
possible changes in assignment due dates. Also, announcements may be made during
regularly scheduled class meetings, making attendance important as well.
For personal communication with me outside of class or office hours (e.g., grade-
related, missed assignments, emergency situations), you should send messages using
the Inbox tool on the Canvas course management system. Mail inquiries received
Mondays through Fridays will usually receive a reply within 24 hours of receipt.
Messages sent after 4 p.m. on Fridays and/or during the weekends will most likely
receive a reply the following Monday. Refer to the “Message Etiquette” policy of this
syllabus for more information on proper e-mail format and protocol. Note: I encourage
you to attend office hours because that is the best way to communicate with me
outside of class.
You also have other options for asking course-related questions of a non-personal
nature. One, of course, is to ask questions during scheduled class sessions. Another
option is to use the Course Questions Discussion forum available on the Canvas course
website. Asking questions during class meetings and/or using the Course Questions
Discussion forum to ask questions allows me to respond to benefit all class members.
Note: Don’t be shy about asking questions, if you have a question, chances are that
one or more of your classmates may be wondering about the same thing!
MESSAGE ETIQUETTE: Professionalism is expected from everyone. You should use
proper etiquette when sending e-mails. This includes an appropriate “Subject” heading,
a proper greeting/salutation, grammatically correct message body, and a proper
closing.
For example:
Subject Heading: Marketing Video Activity
Greeting/Salutation: Hello Dr. Rodgers,
HSC 4713, Section 1941 Fall 2019

Message Body: I was unclear about the Marketing Video Activity for this week’s module. Could you point me to some additional resources that may be helpful?
Closing: Thank you!
Name: Your name HSC4713, Fall 2019
Inappropriate e-mails or messages that lack proper etiquette and/or a subject heading
will be returned with a suggestion to revise and re-send. Note: All messages should
include an appropriate subject line/heading. Messages without a proper subject line
may not receive a response because they can be easily overlooked, or my go to a Spam
folder.
RECOMMENDATIONS: I am pleased to write letters for students who I am – to some
degree – familiar with both from inside and outside the classroom. Of course, the best
letters will come from people who know you well enough that they can speak with some
authenticity about you. And, any letter is that much more compelling if the letter writer
can speak about something personal to you – especially about your skills, interests, and
character.
I will consider preparing recommendations for graduate programs, professional schools,
internships, scholarships, and jobs if and only if you meet the following requirements:
You are willing to waive your right to review the letter of recommendation.
You make your recommendation request in person at least two weeks before
the submission deadline if I have written a letter for you in the past OR at least
four weeks in advance of the letter submission deadline if this is the first time
you have requested a letter from me.
Additionally, you should be prepared to provide the following information when making
a request for a letter:
The deadline for submission.
A copy of your résumé or CV and an unofficial transcript.
If you have taken a class with me previously, the semester and the grade that
you earned.
To ensure we cover all the bases, a version of a reference letter that you write in
the third person. I will then adapt and rewrite to my style. Include what it is you
are applying for and why you’re a good fit for the position. Summarize why your
background has prepared you well for the position you are applying for. Include

any information about qualifications and experience you think might be helpful.
For example, if you are applying to nursing school or a graduate program,
describe what interests you about nursing or the graduate program.
Finally, you must meet with me in person to discuss your interests when you
ask for a letter.
ATTENDANCE/PARTICIPATION: Attendance is my first recommendation for successful
completion of this course and the means to receive optimal benefit for your time and
money. Please understand, no make-ups are given for a missed in-class activity
regardless of the reason it was missed. You will be held accountable for any
information presented in class discussions, lectures, assignments and/or readings,
whether you are physically present in class or not. If you need to be absent from class,
you are responsible for first checking with your class peers about information and/or
assignments discussed. If more information is needed about what was missed, please
discuss with me during the next available office hours. Emails concerning missed
information/assignments will not be responded to. Note: Although in-class activities
may not be made up for any reason, your final grade will be adjusted and your final
grade will not be affected if you provide a University-approved excuse for the absence
and appropriate documentation within 48 hours of the missed activity. See next
section on Allowable Late Assignments and Make-Ups.
ALLOWABLE LATE ASSIGNMENTS AND MAKE-UPS: All assignments – both in class and
outside of class – should be submitted by or before the time and date listed in the
Course Syllabus. Nonetheless, I recognize that life happens and challenges may arise
that prevent you from completing an assignment on time. In these rare instances, you
may (no guarantee) be given an opportunity to submit after the deadline only after you
provide an acceptable, University-approved reason with proper documentation for
missing the deadline. Among the reasons missed assignments may be considered
excused by the University are the following:
Participation in an activity appearing on the University-authorized list
Death or major illness in a student’s immediate family (mother, father, sister,
brother, etc.)
Illness of a dependent family member
Participation in legal proceedings or administrative procedure that require a
student’s presence
Observance of religious holy day

If an emergency arises that causes you to miss an assignment deadline, a quiz, or an in-
class activity, you must contact me within 24 hours and provide formal documentation
by email within 48 hours so that you will have an opportunity to make up what was
missed. As noted earlier, in-class activities cannot be made up; however, final grades
will not be affected as long as the reason for the missed activities is University-
approved and documented. I encourage you to communicate with me immediately if
you miss a submission deadline, or beforehand if you know that you will be unable to
meet a submission deadline or will be absent from a class meeting. The longer you wait
to communicate a difficulty, the less likely a make-up will be possible. Decisions to allow
make-ups will be made by me after consulting the university-wide attendance policies
specified in the UF Undergraduate Catalog
(https://catalog.ufl.edu/ugrad/current/regulations/info/attendance.aspx) and in
accordance with course policies outlined in this syllabus.
EXAMS: All exams in this course are time-limited and open book, open notes. You are
responsible for completing all exams by the stated time and due date listed in the
Course Syllabus. Thus, you must take the exams before the stated deadlines to receive
credit. Students taking an exam when the due date passes will have their scores up to
that point automatically submitted – regardless of whether the exam is completed – and
the grade recorded only for the completed portion. Therefore, you should arrange to
complete your exams with ample time before the stated deadline time and date. Note:
Except for medical or immediate family emergencies, no make-ups of exams are
allowed. Any student with an acceptable excuse and appropriate documentation who
misses a regularly scheduled exam will be given a cumulative make-up exam during
finals week. The cumulative make-up exam may not be used to substitute for a low
score on one of the regularly scheduled exams. The cumulative make-up exam is
strictly for those students with documented, approved absences for one of the three
regularly scheduled exams.
QUESTIONS ON EXAMS: All inquiries regarding exam questions will be fielded following
the initial grading of each assessment. Note: The initial grading of assessments takes
place immediately after your completion of the exam, before the assessment closes for
all students. If you have questions about specific exam questions, you should:
(1) Describe your concern(s) in writing to include any justification and/or
documentation (from lecture and/or readings) to support your concern.
(2) Formally submit your inquiry to me in a message using the Canvas Inbox tool.

UF POLICIES
COURSE EVALUATION: Students are expected to provide feedback on the quality of instruction in this course by completing online evaluations at https://evaluations.ufl.edu. Evaluations are typically open during the last two or three weeks of the semester, but students will be given specific times when they are open. Summary results of these assessments are available at https://evaluations.ufl.edu/.
ACCOMMODATING STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES: Students requesting
accommodation for disabilities must first register with the Dean of Students Office
(DSO) (http://www.dso.ufl.edu/drc/). The DSO will provide documentation to the
student who must then give this documentation to the instructor when requesting
accommodation. Students must submit their documentation to the instructor before
turning in assignments or taking the exams. Accommodations are not retroactive,
therefore, students should contact the DSO as soon as possible in the term for which
they are seeking accommodations.
ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT: Academic honesty and integrity are fundamental values of
the University community. Students should be sure that they understand the UF Student
Honor Code at http://www.dso.ufl.edu/students.php.
