    ACADEMIC COURSE HANDBOOK

    AND SCHEDULE SUMMER 2009

    On behalf of The Washington Center, the academic affairs staff welcomes you to

    Washington and to one of the most important experiences you will have in your life.

    The Washington Center Experience will impact you significantly, probably in ways in

    which you cannot even imagine at this early point in your program. Over the past three

    decades, The Washington Center has become a recognized leader in the field of

    experiential learning by working with a diverse group of students who have diverse

    goals for their internship in the nations capital. Trust us to provide you with a

    framework for learning and contributing that will help you make the most of yourexperience in Washington, D.C.

    While the internship may be your primary focus, the academic courses offered by The

    Washington Center have been a longstanding tradition as an integral component of the

    overall experience. We have found that interns need time to unwind after work in a

    familiar classroom setting with their peers and a professor who is an expert in a

    particular field of interest. Though the day at work may be long, the courses provide an

    opportunity to gather ones thoughts about important topics and experiences that may

    have occurred during the previous week or they allow you to speak your mind, debateor reflect upon some of the important issues of the day.

    Your internship course will help put the experience you are having in Washington in

    context. We want you to connect your professional activities with the academic rigor

    you expect from your own campus, keeping in mind the unique access you have to the

    resources of Washington, D.C. We encourage the faculty to break up the format of the

    classes and allow for considerable interaction such that active learning can occur.

    Some courses are highly structured, while others expect you to take more of the

    initiative, based on your particular learning goals and objectives. The program therefore

    recognizes that students have different learning styles and seeks to accommodate

    students from diverse backgrounds by having instructors who have diverse

    backgrounds and experiences themselves. They are a great resource for you during

    your time in Washington. So enjoy your course, learn as much as you can, and reflect

    upon the full experience you will be having in Washington, D.C.

    Sincerely,

    S. Suzan J. Harkness, Ph.D.

    IMPORTANT NOTICE

    Class Changes/Cancellations

    It is the students responsibility to be aware of any classroom changes or times announced

    by an instructor during a previous class or written on the course syllabus. In the case of

    inclement weather, classes are canceled if the federal government is closed (in which case

    The Washington Center is closed).

    Students enrolled in the summer quarter and sophomore exploration program will attend

    classes from June 8, 2009 to August 16, 2009. If you are a sophomore student you will be

    participating in ST09-2203 Sophomore Experience: Leadership and Professional

    Development (only for students who are enrolled in the sophomore exploration program).

    Most quarter students are enrolled in the same courses as students participating in the

    summer term program. Your professors will have been informed that you will arrive one week

    later than the term students.

    ABOUT THE COURSES

    Course Enrollment

    Students have until Friday, June 12, 2009 at 5:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time to drop or

    add a course using the appropriate form found on the Accepted Students website.

    Requests for course changes must be confirmed in writing after orientation. Direct your

    drop/add requests to [email protected]. Faculty members are not permitted to add

    students to their courses. Only TWC academic staff can make changes to the course

    roster.

    Students may enroll in a second course in order to obtain additional credit from their

    home institution. Students in the Postgraduate Professional Development Program

    (PPDP) may enroll in a course only if space is available. Such students should identify

    themselves to the instructor and are expected to fully participate in each and every

    class period and turn in assigned work. Please download form number 12 on the

    Accepted students webpage, the PPDP Course Enrollment Form, complete and submit

    this to [email protected] after the 12th of June.

    Course Materials and Fees

    As stated in the course guide document on our Accepted Students website, you should

    be prepared to cover the cost of any books, handouts, DVDs or any other reading

    material required for the course. Cost of course materials is the sole responsibility of

    the student. The cost usually ranges between $60-$80, and some courses may have

    additional fees for admission to performances, special events, etc.

    If this is the case, instructors should inform you on the first day of class. If you are not

    in attendance on the first day, it is your responsibility to inquire. Some faculty have

    prepared course packets that are required reading for the course. You may be required

    to purchase such a packet. Since the cost of the packet depends on the number of

    students in the class, you will be informed of the cost if you are still registered in the

    course and you are responsible for paying for the packet. Checks or money orders are

    the only acceptable form of payment and should be made out and sent to The

    Washington Center. Faculty members are not authorized to accept money from

    students for course materials.

    If cost is a major concern, please contact the course coordinator, [email protected],

    and inquire about the fees or book expenses for a particular course.

    Course and Grading Policies

    Each course meets once a week for up to three hours unless otherwise specified.

    Faculty may choose to extend their class periods to make up for a canceled class or

  • 8/14/2019 TWC Course Handbook Summer Quarter 2009

    6/20

    6 The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars

    may reschedule the class for another night. In some cases, the classroom may be

    reserved for another function during the term; therefore TWC will notify the instructor in

    advance and appropriate arrangements to accommodate the class will be made.

    Class Meeting Times

    All courses begin at 6:30pm. Some classes may be able to meet earlier, 6:00 or 6:15, if

    everyone in the course finds this change convenient and the management of the

    location can accommodate an earlier start.

    Attendance

    Class attendance is mandatory and is taken at each session. TWC is notified if astudent misses two classes. If you are unable to attend class for a reason beyond your

    control, you must contact your instructor either in advance or soon after the missed

    class ends. We recognize that internship events in the evening may conflict with your

    course schedule; and we advise you to consult you internship supervisor and professor

    to determine if a conflict is possible. If conflict seems inevitable, you may choose to

    change your course or make an arrangement with your instructor. However, faculty

    members are not allowed to excuse a student because of such a scheduling conflict.

    Thus, please be sure to consult with your agency supervisor to determine if you need to

    change your course to avoid these conflicts, and keep in mind that you may only

    change your course during the drop and add period.

    Financial Aid

    Students receiving a guaranteed financial assistance award must complete the course

    to which they are assigned with a grade of "C" or better to receive the award. Note:

    Students with a grade of less than a "C" in either the internship or the course forfeit any

    guaranteed financial assistance and their invoice is adjusted accordingly.

    Special Needs

    Students with special needs should inform The Washington Center's disability

    coordinator prior to arrival so we can make the necessary preparations. Email us at

    [email protected] for more information.

    Grades

    Students who are graduating prior to the end of the term or quarter may need torequest an early grade. These students must complete the Early Grade Request form

    and have it signed by their campus liaison and returned to the Washington Center by

    the due date. A copy of this form is available online. It is the student's responsibility to

    ensure that our enrollment services office receives the form on time. Also, be sure to

    alert the instructor with sufficient notice so the timing of assignments and a final grade

    can be planned accordingly. Early grade option depends fully upon the student. Please

  • 8/14/2019 TWC Course Handbook Summer Quarter 2009

    7/20

    7 The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars

    plan accordingly and coordinate with your course professor. Failure to do so may result

    in lost financial aid, delayed enrollment, or delayed graduation.

    TWC strongly discourages students to request a grade of "I" (incomplete). However, if astudent is unable to complete all assignments as a result of unforeseen circumstances

    (i.e. unexpected internship travel, extended illness, etc.), then a written agreement

    between the student and instructor must be submitted with the final grade sheet.

    Incomplete agreements should include a final completion date that is no longer than six

    weeks past the end of the term/semester.

    Students with outstanding balances have their grades withheld until their balance is

    paid. Reminder notices are not sent. Regardless of who is billed for the program or

    housing fees, it is the responsibility of the student to ensure proper payment reaches

    The Washington Center.

    Wireless Access

    Please note the following information for accessing the wireless network at the

    Washington Center:

    Course Numbers and Levels

    Courses are created to appeal to students who have at least two years of general

    education and the courses generally avoid prerequisites. Courses listed at the 3000

    level are mostly introductory or of general interest. The 4000 level courses are more

    in-depth, while 5000 level courses are for more advanced students with specific

    interests.

    Assessment

    Faculty members prepare a written midterm and final evaluation of each student's

    progress, which are sent to the student's campus liaison. Students are asked to provide

    a midterm and final evaluation of the course and instructor. These written evaluations

    are administrated by the course coordinator and distributed during class. Midterm

    evaluations are summarized before they are sent to the instructor, so that students

    feedback can remain anonymous. The final evaluation forms are copied and sent to the

    faculty only after all grades have been submitted. Your reflective feedback on our

    courses and faculty is very important to us.

    Policies

    Please note that as a matter of policy, smoking, the consumption of alcoholic

    beverages, or eating are prohibited in classrooms and during class time. Students are

    advised to eat dinner prior to class and are welcome to enjoy our outdoor patio or

    student lounge. Students are responsible for their own computer access and library

  • 8/14/2019 TWC Course Handbook Summer Quarter 2009

    8/20

    8 The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars

    facilities. Please plan accordingly.

    The Washington Center program is an academic program within a professional context,

    and Washington is a professional city. We therefore strongly encourage you to dressprofessionally or appropriately at all programming events. For your courses, you should

    avoid shorts, jeans, short skirts, tank tops, flip-flops, T-shirts or other overly casual

    attire. This is not only out of deference to your classmates who may be coming directly

    from their worksite, but also to others who see you at the classroom location, whether it

    is The Washington Center's offices, a local university or a hotel. While you are in our

    program, you represent not only yourself, but also the Washington Center and your

    home institution. You are never really "off duty" during weekdays in Washington.

    Academic Misconduct

    The Washington Center seeks to further students' educational and career goals. Since

    academic credit is usually available for our programs, we offer a quality experience for

    students to develop their intellectual, professional, civic and social skills. We expect

    students to take personal responsibility for their education, and therefore to submit

    original reports, essays and evaluations, as required. Timeliness and reliability are also

    required of their participation in all program components. Whether students are at their

    placement, course, a speaker series, a lecture, a site visit, or involved in other

    academic components, students are representatives of The Washington Center andtheir college or university, and are expected to act ethically and with the highest degree

    of professionalism.

    Students are expected to fulfill all academic requirements outlined by program

    advisors,agency supervisors, associate faculty members, and program coordinators.

    Students are expected to follow the work schedule of other employees at their

    placement, not of their college or university or The Washington Center. Interns are

    expected to notify The Washington Center if they will miss work for more than two

    consecutive days due to illness or other causes and to receive appropriate permission.Students also need to notify TWC of any early departure at the end of an internship

    semester or term. If a student will not be attending the last class of the semester or

    term, they must receive proper permission from their program advisor, campus liaison,

    and course instructor. Students should take the responsibility to keep their liaison

    informed of any missed days of work. Incidents of misconduct may be reflected in a

    student's final evaluation or grade and will be reported to the campus liaison or other

    college officials. This may result in expulsion from The Washington Center's Internship

    Program or Academic Seminar and will be maintained in a permanent file.

    Academic misconduct includes but is not limited to the following acts:

    Plagiarism: Plagiarism is a form of academic misconduct and is considered academic

    theft. Plagiarism occurs when someone copies or takes the intellectual work of another as

    ones own, and fails to properly reference or provide attribution to the original author of

    the work.

  • 8/14/2019 TWC Course Handbook Summer Quarter 2009

    9/20

    9 The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars

    At The Washington Center, students are expected to submit original evaluations, essays,

    papers, and demonstrations, and to cite all appropriate sources of material that influences

    the work or contributes to its end. If requested, students should be prepared to provide

    original notes, previous drafts, or other materials to indicate original research or intellectualownership of an assignment. If the thought, diagram, image, table, paper, photograph, or

    text is not original, meaning it did not originate from your own thinking or artistry, you must

    provide citation.

    Cheating: The use of notes, books, or electronic devices when prohibited, the assistance

    of another student while completing a quiz or an exam, or the providing of information to

    another individual for this purpose, unless such collaboration is suggested by the course

    instructor.

    Falsification: The improper alteration of any record, document or evaluation.

    Obstruction: Behaving in a disruptive manner or participating in activities that interfere

    with the educational mission of The Washington Center at lectures, courses, meetings or

    other sponsored events.

    Absente eism: The chronic failure to attend program components (including the internship,

    internship courses, or other scheduled activities) without a valid reason or prior notification.

    Any other act of academic dishonesty.

    The Washington Center reserves the right to impose additional penalties, including

    expulsion from the program. A hearing regarding these charges may be held at the

    request of the student.

    Since The Washington Center does not grant academic credit, the grade received in a

    course is only a recommended grade sent to the student's campus liaison. Thus,

    additional avenues of appeal may be available to a student on the home campus,

    depending upon how the campus liaison interprets The Washington Center's associate

    faculty members grade. In all academic matters, the director of academic affairs is the

    final arbiter regarding the responsibilities of The Washington Center in these matters.

    Student Grievances

    If students have a problem with the instructor, the course material, class format, or

    other aspects of the course, they should speak with the instructor first. If speaking with

    the instructor is not a possible course of action, or if students choose otherwise,

    students should speak with the course coordinator who will arrange a conference in

    consultation with the director of Academic Affairs. If students wish to make a formal

    complaint, they must submit it in writing to the course coordinator, who will then advise

    the director of Academic Affairs who will be responsible to take action.
