Course Changes
Please note that the instructor’s assignments may vary from the original syllabus you received from the student web page. Assignments in this document take priority. While the reading assignments and learning objectives remain the same, some of the assignments in this syllabus have been customized for this particular section.
Weekly Schedule
The class begins when the first class meeting begins. Weekly assignments are due at the start of each week’s class meeting.
Participation
Participation is assessed by the faculty member and is part of a student/learner’s final grade. Participation requires student/learners to be actively engaged in the weekly classroom activities and discussion. Discussion should be relevant to the course objectives and add value to previously presented material. The best contributions reflect excellent preparation, good listening, and interpretative and integrative skills. Consistently showing up late for class or leaving early will negatively impact the participation grade. An absence from a workshop results in zero participation points for that workshop.
Attendance
If the student/learner misses more than the allowed absences in a course in consecutive or non-consecutive weeks, the student/learner will automatically be withdrawn (Autodrop) from the course and will not be eligible to earn a grade. Sending assignments to the instructor by email, fax, mail or other means does not make up for missed attendance. Faculty cannot excuse absences. Any questions about this policy should be directed to an admissions or academic counselor.
Length of Course Absences Allowed Absences Resulting in Autodrop
5-9 weeks 1 2
Most on-campus group study classes meet four hours per week, usually in the evening. Student/learners are in attendance at the on-campus workshops if they physically attend the on-campus workshop meeting during the scheduled class hours and sign the attendance roster. Attendance at the scheduled campus class meetings is mandatory.
Second Absence Procedure
Any student who must miss a second class meeting must initiate a written request to the campus Director of Academic Affairs who may grant an "E" excused absence upon verification with the faculty that the student is in good academic standing and is going to meet all course requirements. The request should be initiated prior to missing the second class and within 7 days of missing the class if prior notice is not possible.
Excused absences should only be granted for one of the following reasons and with the appropriate supporting documentation:
• Military deployment
1. Documentation can consist of military orders.
• Serious illness or hospitalization of student or family member
1. Family members for hospitalization or serious illness include: mother, father, spouse, and child.
2. Documentation can include a note from the Doctor, release from the hospital. The documentation does not need to contain specifics of the medical condition and/or injury, etc.
• Death of immediate family member
1. Immediate family members include: father, mother, spouse, child, grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law.
2. Supporting documentation can consist of a copy of the decease’s obituary.
• Jury Duty
1. Supporting documents can consist of a copy of the subpoena
2. Natural disaster or inclement weather that requires campus to cancel classes. Campus should first attempt to schedule a make-up session. If students are not able to attend the make-up session, campus may choose to issue an “E” for that particular workshop for the entire class.
Incomplete Grade
At the faculty member 's discretion, a grade of Incomplete may be granted during the last week of a course provided all of the following criteria are met:
1. The faculty member determines that an Incomplete grade is appropriate under the circumstances.
2. Attendance requirements have been met for the course, and the student/learner is therefore eligible for a grade.
3. Student/learner is earning a passing grade in the course on the submitted assignments and participation at the time the Incomplete is requested.
4. Student/learner requests, in writing to the Individual Forum, a grade of Incomplete during the last week of class, prior to the course end date.
5. Student/learner and faculty enter into a written agreement posted in the student/learner’s Individual Forum containing:
a) A course completion plan;
b) A clearly identified extended course deadline not to exceed five (5) weeks from the original course end date; and
c) An acknowledgment that the final course grade will be reduced one (1) full letter grade in exchange for the extra time allowed to complete the coursework, regardless of the circumstances. Possible exceptions to the maximum time period for completion of an incomplete or to the letter grade reduction requirement are set forth in the Student/learner Catalog.
Unless the faculty and student/learner have entered into an Incomplete grade agreement before the course ends, assignments submitted after the last day of class will not be accepted.
Late assignments
Any late assignments will receive a penalty of 10%. This work will only be received one workshop late, any longer, it will not be accepted. No work will be accepted after the final class.
Attachments
Please post formal assignments in the Individual Forum as attachments—Microsoft® Word documents or Microsoft® PowerPoint® slides, as required by each assignment. Attachments should not be used for discussion question responses, class participation, or weekly summaries (if required by instructor).
Copyright Guidelines
Student/learners and faculty must honor copyrights and not make unauthorized hard copies or post any copyright-protected text, graphics, or other material in any classroom forum without the express prior written permission of the copyright owner.
Academic Integrity
By virtue of membership in the University’s academic community, student/learners accept a responsibility to abide by the Student Code of Academic Integrity, which is part of the Student/learner Code of Conduct which includes statements on plagiarism and appropriate behavior. A link to the Code can be found on the Center for Writing Excellence web site or by logging into eCampus.
Confidentiality and Proprietary Information
One of the cornerstones of the University of Phoenix learning model is the practical application of theoretical concepts. Student/learners and faculty members may appropriately choose to illustrate lessons from personal experience without identifying specific employers or individuals by name. It is the University 's policy that student/learners and faculty members must not share present or past employer information that would be considered proprietary, confidential, company-sensitive, or contain protected trade secrets. Student/learners are encouraged to examine an organization 's limitations on sharing information externally before presenting any information regarding the organization in the classroom. In order to assure free and open discussion in which student/learners may elect to discuss a company and its policies and procedures as they apply to the course material, expectations are that each person will respect the confidentiality regarding what fellow classmates are willing to share. At the same time, each student/learner should exercise good judgment in what is chosen to share, avoiding non-public or competitively sensitive information. In addition, students and faculty must avoid forwarding information shared in class with anyone not currently enrolled in that same course section.
Academic Resources
Coursework must uphold the high standards of academic integrity established by University of Phoenix. Consequently, the majority of research conducted by student/learners must be peer-reviewed academic journals, such as those in the University Library, or the additional readings on the course materials page for each course. Internet searches often lead to nonacademic information resources, such as Wikipedia.org, Ask.com, Encarta.msn.com, Infoplease.com, etc. These sources are not to be used as they are not academic in nature. The student/learner is responsible for the accuracy of any facts presented in assignments.
How Points and Percentages Equate to Grades
100-95 A 76-74 C
94-90 A- 73-70 C-
89-87 B+ 69-67 D+
86-84 B 66-64 D
83-80 B- 63-60 D-
79-77 C+ 59 or < F
Grade Definitions and Criteria
A= Clearly stands out as an excellent performer. Has unusually sharp insight into material and initiates thoughtful questions. Sees many sides of an issue. Articulates well and writes logically and clearly. Integrates ideas previously learned from this and other disciplines; anticipates next steps in progression of ideas. Example: “A” work should be of such a nature that it could be put on reserve for all students to review and emulate. The “A” student is, in fact, an example for others to follow. B= Grasps subject matter at a level considered to be good to very good. Participates actively in class discussion. Writes well. In On-Campus environments, speaks well. Accomplishes more than the minimum requirements. Produces high quality work. Example: “B” work indicates a high quality of performance and is given in recognition for solid work; a “B” should be considered a high grade.
C= Demonstrates a satisfactory comprehension of the subject matter. Accomplishes only the minimum requirements, and displays little or no initiative. Communicates orally (on-campus environment) and in writing at an acceptable level for a college student. Has an acceptable understanding of all basic concepts. Example: “C” work represents average work. A student receiving a “C” has met the requirements, including deadlines, of the course.
D= Quality and quantity of work is below average and barely acceptable. Example: “D” work is passing by a slim margin.
F= Quality and quantity of work is unacceptable. Academic credit is not earned for an F. Example: “F” work does not qualify the student to progress to a more advanced level of course work.
Other Grades
I and IX= Incomplete. Most work for the course has been submitted. Through prior arrangement with the faculty member, the student has agreed to submit the remaining work within a specified period, not to exceed the amount of time prescribed in University policy.
W= Withdrawal. The student must repeat the entire course.
All written work will be graded according to APA guidelines, as appropriate for the program. A percent of the grade will be based on style, content and format including such items as clarity of communication, sentence and paragraph construction, punctuation, spelling, and grammar.
Extra Credit
The curriculum is carefully designed to fit the number of course weeks. In order to uphold academic rigor and integrity, student/learner grades must be based on the degree to which the course requirements listed in the syllabus are fulfilled. Extra credit assignments are not allowed.
APA Format Please use the APA format in your individual papers and Learning Team Assignments. You can access the APA Guidelines and Tutorial by visiting the Center for Writing Excellence located under Services on the University of Phoenix Student Page http://mycampus.phoenix.edu
Learning Teams
The University’s use of Learning Teams is a primary means to foster student competence in the ability to collaborate, one of the five basic Learning Goals of the Institution. UoPHX students are expected to work collaboratively and effectively in diverse groups and teams to achieve tasks. Students should respect human diversity and behave in a tolerant manner toward colleagues and peers. Some of the assignments in this class will be completed in Learning Teams of three to five students. Learning Teams are required to meet weekly, between on-campus workshops. Teams will be allowed to meet in-person, via teleconference, chat, e-mails, fax, telephone conversation, or any other electronic means. Learning Team Log: The log is required every week; it may be completed on the Web and printed for submission.
Learning Team Charter: In order to create structure for the Learning Team, students will complete a Charter to be submitted during Week Two. Note: This exercise will help the team plan for effective achievement of tasks, establish ground rules, and minimize conflict. The LT Charter form may be completed on the course’s rEsource site and printed for submission to the instructor.
Learning Team Peer Evaluation: Students will be asked to complete a “Peer Evaluation” every week, to assess the contribution of each member of the Learning Team. Faculty will take these Peer Evaluations into account when assessing individual participation and contribution to the Learning Team projects.
Because Learning Team projects are outcome-based, all members will generally earn the same grade. However, Faculty reserve the right to report different grades for Learning Team members if there is a substantial imbalance in individual contribution. Faculty will use the results of the LT Peer Evaluation for grading purposes. A student cannot receive any team point allocation if he/she does not have a substantial contribution to the group assignments.
Standards for Learning Teams Work The following represents UoPHX standards for Learning Team work.
1. Members develop perspective and goals for the Team as a whole.
2. Members develop effective work plans, meeting schedules, and assignments.
3. Members are clear about goals for work projects.
4. Members effectively manage conflict within the Team and resolve problems.
5. Members share workload equally.
6. Members build consensus and effectively share in decision making.
7. Products of the Team process, including presentations and papers, are cohesive and present an image of a single product rather than a collection of individual ones. 8. Tasks are completed on time and meet established
Class Rules
Cell Phone Use: The cell phone ringers must be put on the vibrate mode. All calls must be attended to outside the classroom. Texting is not allowed in the classroom.
Laptop Use: Instructor will state when computer use is appropriate. It is strictly prohibited to visit a social network, chat, and/or send personal emails in class.
No children are permitted in the class or on campus.

Course Changes
Please note that the instructor’s assignments may vary from the original syllabus you received from the student web page. Assignments in this document take priority. While the reading assignments and learning objectives remain the same, some of the assignments in this syllabus have been customized for this particular section.
Weekly Schedule
The class begins when the first class meeting begins. Weekly assignments are due at the start of each week’s class meeting.
Participation
Participation is assessed by the faculty member and is part of a student/learner’s final grade. Participation requires student/learners to be actively engaged in the weekly classroom activities and discussion. Discussion should be relevant to the course objectives and add value to previously presented material. The best contributions reflect excellent preparation, good listening, and interpretative and integrative skills. Consistently showing up late for class or leaving early will negatively impact the participation grade. An absence from a workshop results in zero participation points for that workshop.
Attendance
If the student/learner misses more than the allowed absences in a course in consecutive or non-consecutive weeks, the student/learner will automatically be withdrawn (Autodrop) from the course and will not be eligible to earn a grade. Sending assignments to the instructor by email, fax, mail or other means does not make up for missed attendance. Faculty cannot excuse absences. Any questions about this policy should be directed to an admissions or academic counselor.
Length of Course Absences Allowed Absences Resulting in Autodrop
5-9 weeks 1 2
Most on-campus group study classes meet four hours per week, usually in the evening. Student/learners are in attendance at the on-campus workshops if they physically attend the on-campus workshop meeting during the scheduled class hours and sign the attendance roster. Attendance at the scheduled campus class meetings is mandatory.
Second Absence Procedure
Any student who must miss a second class meeting must initiate a written request to the campus Director of Academic Affairs who may grant an "E" excused absence upon verification with the faculty that the student is in good academic standing and is going to meet all course requirements. The request should be initiated prior to missing the second class and within 7 days of missing the class if prior notice is not possible.
Excused absences should only be granted for one of the following reasons and with the appropriate supporting documentation:
• Military deployment
1. Documentation can consist of military orders.
• Serious illness or hospitalization of student or family member
1. Family members for hospitalization or serious illness include: mother, father, spouse, and child.
2. Documentation can include a note from the Doctor, release from the hospital. The documentation does not need to contain specifics of the medical condition and/or injury, etc.
• Death of immediate family member
1. Immediate family members include: father, mother, spouse, child, grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law.
2. Supporting documentation can consist of a copy of the decease’s obituary.
• Jury Duty
1. Supporting documents can consist of a copy of the subpoena
2. Natural disaster or inclement weather that requires campus to cancel classes. Campus should first attempt to schedule a make-up session. If students are not able to attend the make-up session, campus may choose to issue an “E” for that particular workshop for the entire class.
Incomplete Grade
At the faculty member 's discretion, a grade of Incomplete may be granted during the last week of a course provided all of the following criteria are met:
1. The faculty member determines that an Incomplete grade is appropriate under the circumstances.
2. Attendance requirements have been met for the course, and the student/learner is therefore eligible for a grade.
3. Student/learner is earning a passing grade in the course on the submitted assignments and participation at the time the Incomplete is requested.
4. Student/learner requests, in writing to the Individual Forum, a grade of Incomplete during the last week of class, prior to the course end date.
5. Student/learner and faculty enter into a written agreement posted in the student/learner’s Individual Forum containing:
a) A course completion plan;
b) A clearly identified extended course deadline not to exceed five (5) weeks from the original course end date; and
c) An acknowledgment that the final course grade will be reduced one (1) full letter grade in exchange for the extra time allowed to complete the coursework, regardless of the circumstances. Possible exceptions to the maximum time period for completion of an incomplete or to the letter grade reduction requirement are set forth in the Student/learner Catalog.
Unless the faculty and student/learner have entered into an Incomplete grade agreement before the course ends, assignments submitted after the last day of class will not be accepted.
Late assignments
Any late assignments will receive a penalty of 10%. This work will only be received one workshop late, any longer, it will not be accepted. No work will be accepted after the final class.
Attachments
Please post formal assignments in the Individual Forum as attachments—Microsoft® Word documents or Microsoft® PowerPoint® slides, as required by each assignment. Attachments should not be used for discussion question responses, class participation, or weekly summaries (if required by instructor).
Copyright Guidelines
Student/learners and faculty must honor copyrights and not make unauthorized hard copies or post any copyright-protected text, graphics, or other material in any classroom forum without the express prior written permission of the copyright owner.
Academic Integrity
By virtue of membership in the University’s academic community, student/learners accept a responsibility to abide by the Student Code of Academic Integrity, which is part of the Student/learner Code of Conduct which includes statements on plagiarism and appropriate behavior. A link to the Code can be found on the Center for Writing Excellence web site or by logging into eCampus.
Confidentiality and Proprietary Information
One of the cornerstones of the University of Phoenix learning model is the practical application of theoretical concepts. Student/learners and faculty members may appropriately choose to illustrate lessons from personal experience without identifying specific employers or individuals by name. It is the University 's policy that student/learners and faculty members must not share present or past employer information that would be considered proprietary, confidential, company-sensitive, or contain protected trade secrets. Student/learners are encouraged to examine an organization 's limitations on sharing information externally before presenting any information regarding the organization in the classroom. In order to assure free and open discussion in which student/learners may elect to discuss a company and its policies and procedures as they apply to the course material, expectations are that each person will respect the confidentiality regarding what fellow classmates are willing to share. At the same time, each student/learner should exercise good judgment in what is chosen to share, avoiding non-public or competitively sensitive information. In addition, students and faculty must avoid forwarding information shared in class with anyone not currently enrolled in that same course section.
Academic Resources
Coursework must uphold the high standards of academic integrity established by University of Phoenix. Consequently, the majority of research conducted by student/learners must be peer-reviewed academic journals, such as those in the University Library, or the additional readings on the course materials page for each course. Internet searches often lead to nonacademic information resources, such as Wikipedia.org, Ask.com, Encarta.msn.com, Infoplease.com, etc. These sources are not to be used as they are not academic in nature. The student/learner is responsible for the accuracy of any facts presented in assignments.
How Points and Percentages Equate to Grades
100-95 A 76-74 C
94-90 A- 73-70 C-
89-87 B+ 69-67 D+
86-84 B 66-64 D
83-80 B- 63-60 D-
79-77 C+ 59 or < F
Grade Definitions and Criteria
A= Clearly stands out as an excellent performer. Has unusually sharp insight into material and initiates thoughtful questions. Sees many sides of an issue. Articulates well and writes logically and clearly. Integrates ideas previously learned from this and other disciplines; anticipates next steps in progression of ideas. Example: “A” work should be of such a nature that it could be put on reserve for all students to review and emulate. The “A” student is, in fact, an example for others to follow. B= Grasps subject matter at a level considered to be good to very good. Participates actively in class discussion. Writes well. In On-Campus environments, speaks well. Accomplishes more than the minimum requirements. Produces high quality work. Example: “B” work indicates a high quality of performance and is given in recognition for solid work; a “B” should be considered a high grade.
C= Demonstrates a satisfactory comprehension of the subject matter. Accomplishes only the minimum requirements, and displays little or no initiative. Communicates orally (on-campus environment) and in writing at an acceptable level for a college student. Has an acceptable understanding of all basic concepts. Example: “C” work represents average work. A student receiving a “C” has met the requirements, including deadlines, of the course.
D= Quality and quantity of work is below average and barely acceptable. Example: “D” work is passing by a slim margin.
F= Quality and quantity of work is unacceptable. Academic credit is not earned for an F. Example: “F” work does not qualify the student to progress to a more advanced level of course work.
Other Grades
I and IX= Incomplete. Most work for the course has been submitted. Through prior arrangement with the faculty member, the student has agreed to submit the remaining work within a specified period, not to exceed the amount of time prescribed in University policy.
W= Withdrawal. The student must repeat the entire course.
All written work will be graded according to APA guidelines, as appropriate for the program. A percent of the grade will be based on style, content and format including such items as clarity of communication, sentence and paragraph construction, punctuation, spelling, and grammar.
Extra Credit
The curriculum is carefully designed to fit the number of course weeks. In order to uphold academic rigor and integrity, student/learner grades must be based on the degree to which the course requirements listed in the syllabus are fulfilled. Extra credit assignments are not allowed.
APA Format Please use the APA format in your individual papers and Learning Team Assignments. You can access the APA Guidelines and Tutorial by visiting the Center for Writing Excellence located under Services on the University of Phoenix Student Page http://mycampus.phoenix.edu
Learning Teams
The University’s use of Learning Teams is a primary means to foster student competence in the ability to collaborate, one of the five basic Learning Goals of the Institution. UoPHX students are expected to work collaboratively and effectively in diverse groups and teams to achieve tasks. Students should respect human diversity and behave in a tolerant manner toward colleagues and peers. Some of the assignments in this class will be completed in Learning Teams of three to five students. Learning Teams are required to meet weekly, between on-campus workshops. Teams will be allowed to meet in-person, via teleconference, chat, e-mails, fax, telephone conversation, or any other electronic means. Learning Team Log: The log is required every week; it may be completed on the Web and printed for submission.
Learning Team Charter: In order to create structure for the Learning Team, students will complete a Charter to be submitted during Week Two. Note: This exercise will help the team plan for effective achievement of tasks, establish ground rules, and minimize conflict. The LT Charter form may be completed on the course’s rEsource site and printed for submission to the instructor.
Learning Team Peer Evaluation: Students will be asked to complete a “Peer Evaluation” every week, to assess the contribution of each member of the Learning Team. Faculty will take these Peer Evaluations into account when assessing individual participation and contribution to the Learning Team projects.
Because Learning Team projects are outcome-based, all members will generally earn the same grade. However, Faculty reserve the right to report different grades for Learning Team members if there is a substantial imbalance in individual contribution. Faculty will use the results of the LT Peer Evaluation for grading purposes. A student cannot receive any team point allocation if he/she does not have a substantial contribution to the group assignments.
Standards for Learning Teams Work The following represents UoPHX standards for Learning Team work.
1. Members develop perspective and goals for the Team as a whole.
2. Members develop effective work plans, meeting schedules, and assignments.
3. Members are clear about goals for work projects.
4. Members effectively manage conflict within the Team and resolve problems.
5. Members share workload equally.
6. Members build consensus and effectively share in decision making.
7. Products of the Team process, including presentations and papers, are cohesive and present an image of a single product rather than a collection of individual ones. 8. Tasks are completed on time and meet established
Class Rules
Cell Phone Use: The cell phone ringers must be put on the vibrate mode. All calls must be attended to outside the classroom. Texting is not allowed in the classroom.
Laptop Use: Instructor will state when computer use is appropriate. It is strictly prohibited to visit a social network, chat, and/or send personal emails in class.
No children are permitted in the class or on campus.

While reading chapter one "The Matthew Effect" of Outliers, readers are presented with the theory that fame and success may not be due to natural talent or ability, but more to being in the right place at the right time (and age).

There are two divergent theories of early civilizations populations in the Pre Colombian era. The first is that the area was covered with human life and, that villages and empires were believed to have blanketed the landscape. Furthermore these people are believed to have developed advanced societies structured with government and religion. These high counter theorists also believe that disease was responsible for the great emptiness of human density after Columbus arrived. The second theory is the hypothesis that there were very few people that resided in Pre Colombia thus diminishing the idea of mass death from disease and the great social achievements’ made by the Pre Colombian natives. In 1491, Charles Mann discusses the finer points of both sides, showing which side he agrees with as well as allowing the reader to develop their own ideas. This paper will explain both theories in detail, explain Mann’s personal leaning, and will end with my own thoughts about whether or not Pre Colombia was a populated region.…
