Course Description: Quantitative Analysis is a course designed to teach students the importance of proper measurement and evaluation procedures in the collection, analysis, and evaluation of data. The course will involve the areas of reliability, validity, and objectivity; test construction and analysis; use of statistics and statistical concepts; measures of the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domain; and hypothesis testing. A measurement lab will accompany the course at class time on Friday to provide the students with hands-on experience with the concepts of measurement and evaluation. I will be glad to work problems and answer questions. Since we are only meeting two days per week, the course material will go very quickly. I see the role of the instructor as a “facilitator” to your learning. You, as students have the ultimate responsibility for learning. I am here to guide and assist you. I love teaching Quantitative Analysis. It is my favorite course to teach. It is a difficult course and requires much study time. I do not believe that you can just come to class and expect to pass the class. It will take study time outside of class. The course is a course about measurement concepts. It is not a mathematics class. It does involves some statistical calculation which involve some basic algebra. You should have taken a statistics course by this time, so statistics should not be a problem for you. Statistics is just a tool used to make a decision. My door is always open to you. An appointment would be nice, but not essential during office hours. I really like talking about this stuff. Be aware… I may give you more information that you bargain for……

Classroom Conduct Expectations University of North Texas students are expected to assume individual responsibility for maintaining a productive learning environment and conduct themselves with the highest regard for respect and consideration of others. Ongoing behaviors or single behaviors considered distracting (e.g., coming late to class, performing a repetitive act that is annoying, sleeping or reading a newspaper in class, etc.) can be addressed by the faculty member initially either generally or individually as part of the instructor‘s classroom management efforts. Cases in which such annoying behavior becomes excessive and the student refuses to respond to the faculty member‘s efforts can be referred to the Dean of Students. In the case of serious disruptive behavior in a classroom (making loud and distracting noises, repeatedly answering cell phones/text messaging or allowing pagers to beep, exhibiting erratic or irrational behavior, persisting in speaking without being recognized, repeatedly leaving and entering the classroom or test site without authorization, throwing things, blocking an entry way, using profane, intimidating or abusive language and/or repeatedly interrupting others‘ speech, etc.) the instructor should first request compliance from the student and if it is not received, an instructor has the authority to ask the student to leave the classroom. The student is expected to comply with this request to leave the classroom and may subsequently contest this action using procedures established by the department. If the student fails to leave after being directed to do so, assistance may be obtained from other university personnel including the University Police Department. The incident shall be handled as an academic misconduct matter using established

KINE 4050 MWF Grimes Sp16 4 departmental procedures for academic misconduct to determine if the student should be allowed to return to the classroom.

Academic Integrity Academic Integrity is defined in the UNT Policy on Student Standards for Academic Integrity. Any suspected case of Academic Dishonesty will be handled in accordance with the University Policy and procedures. Possible academic penalties range from a verbal or written admonition to a grade of “F” in the course. Further sanctions may apply to incidents involving major violations. You will find the policy and procedures at: http://vpaa.unt.edu/academic-integrity.htm.

Acceptable Student Behavior: Student behavior that interferes with an instructor’s ability to conduct a class or other students' opportunity to learn is unacceptable and disruptive and will not be tolerated in any instructional forum at UNT. Students engaging in unacceptable behavior will be directed to leave the classroom and the instructor may refer the student to the Dean of Students to consider whether the student's conduct violated the Code of Student Conduct. The university's expectations for student conduct apply to all instructional forums, including university and electronic classroom, labs, discussion groups, field trips, etc. The Code of Student Conduct can be found at www.deanofstudents.unt.edu. Any incidences of unacceptable student behavior will be referred to the Dean of Student’s Office for disciplinary action.

OTHER POLICIES The purpose of this class is to prepare you to work in our profession. At this point in your academic career, I expect you to act as a professional. I expect you to dress as a professional. I expect the work that you submit to be submitted as a professional. I expect you to act and talk as a professional. Any behavior less than professional will not be acceptable.

General Expectations ●Students are not to wear hats during any indoor class period. I don’t care how bad your hair looks. I want to see your shining face. Please remove your hat when you enter the classroom. ● We have very little time to cover the material during the semester and much of the responsibility of learning the material will be your responsibility.  Please go to the restroom, throw away any trash, get a drink, and take care of any other business before you enter the classroom. DO NOT leave your seat to do any of the afore mentioned activities during class. If you are expecting an emergency situation, please inform me before class so it is not a surprise to me. I am basically an understanding person, but do not like interruptions or surprises.

Sleeping in Class

●Students sleeping in class are a distraction to the professor and to the students in class who have a sincere desire to learn. If you fall asleep in class, I may ask you to leave the classroom and go take a nap elsewhere. Please do so without argument. Side Conversation in Class ●Students engaging in side conversations during class are a distraction to the professor and to the students in class who have a sincere desire to learn. If you are talking in class, I may ask you to leave the classroom. Please do so without argument.

Cellular Phones ●Cellular phones are to be turned off during class. A student’s cellular phone ringing is a distraction to the professor and to the students in class who have a sincere desire to learn. If you are observed texting during class, you will be asked to leave immediately. See Classroom Conduct Expectations below.

Classroom Conduct Expectations Students are expected to assume individual responsibility for maintaining a productive learning environment and conduct themselves with the highest regard for respect and consideration of others. Ongoing behaviors or single behaviors considered distracting (e.g., coming late to class, performing a repetitive act that is annoying, sleeping or reading a newspaper in class, etc.) can be addressed by the faculty member initially either generally or individually as part of the instructor‘s classroom management efforts. Cases in which such annoying behavior becomes excessive and the student refuses to respond to the faculty member‘s efforts can be referred to the Department Chair or Dean of Students. In the case of serious disruptive behavior in a classroom (making loud and distracting noises, repeatedly answering cell phones/text messaging or allowing pagers to beep, exhibiting erratic or irrational behavior, persisting in speaking without being recognized, repeatedly leaving and entering the classroom or test site without authorization, throwing objects, blocking an entry way, using profane, intimidating or abusive language and/or repeatedly interrupting others‘ speech, etc.) the instructor should first request compliance from the student and if it is not received, an instructor has the authority to ask the student to leave the classroom. The student is expected to comply with this request to leave the classroom and may subsequently contest this action using procedures established by the department. If the student fails to leave after being directed to do so, assistance may be obtained from other university personnel including the University Police Department. The incident shall be handled as an academic misconduct matter using established departmental procedures for academic misconduct to determine if the student should be allowed to return to the classroom. If you are asked to leave a class, you are required to make an appointment to see me during my office hours before you will be allowed to return to class. The class that you leave and any subsequent classes missed due to class behavior will count against the student in the attendance grade including the 6 absences involved in failing the course due to poor attendance.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY ●Refer to the Academic Catalog (Academic Regulations) for the University’s policy on academic dishonesty. ●The student is expected to practice academic honesty in every aspect of this course and all other courses. Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to:

1. Cheating: deception in which the student misrepresents that he/she has mastered information on an academic exercise that he/she has not mastered; giving or receiving aid unauthorized by the professor on assignments or examinations. 2. Academic misconduct: tampering with grades, or taking part in obtaining or distributing any part of a scheduled exam. 3. Fabrication: use of invented information or falsified research. 4. Plagiarism: unacknowledged quotation, and/or paraphrase of someone else’s work, ideas, or data as one’s own in work submitted for credit. Failure to identify information or essays from the internet and submitting them as one’s own work also constitutes plagiarism. ●A student who engages in academic dishonesty is subject to University disciplinary action.

NONACADEMIC MISCONDUCT

●The University respects the right of the professor to teach and the student to learn. Maintenance of these rights requires campus conditions that do not impede their exercise. Engaging in such behavior that would infringe on these rights is deemed to be nonacademic misconduct and will not be tolerated. This includes, but is not limited to, campus behavior that interferes with: 1. the professor’s ability to conduct the class. 2. the ability of other students to profit from the instructional program. 3. the rights of others. ●During any campus situation which involves a “Campus Lockdown,” all students are expected to follow the instructions of the University. Any deviations from these instructions may place yourself, emergency personnel, or other students at risk of physical harm. For this reason, any students guilty of violating the instructions of the University will be subject to the filing of a Student Misconduct form and the student will be referred to the Dean of Students for disciplinary action. ●A student who engages in nonacademic misconduct is subject to disciplinary action. Such incidents will be adjudicated by the Dean of Students under non-academic procedures.

SEXUAL MISCONDUCT Sexual harassment of students and employees at UNT is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Any member of the University community violating this policy will be subject to disciplinary action.

Should any violations of Academic or Non-academic misconduct occur, a STUDENT MISCONDUCT REPORT will be filed with the KHPR Department and with the Dean of Students.

American with Disabilities Compliance: The University of North Texas makes reasonable academic accommodation for students with disabilities. Students seeking accommodation must first register with the Office of Disability Accommodation (ODA) to verify their eligibility. If a disability is verified, the ODA will provide you with an accommodation letter to be delivered to faculty to begin a private discussion regarding your specific needs in a course. You may request accommodations at any time,

KINE 4050 MWF Grimes Sp16 7 however, ODA notices of accommodation should be provided as early as possible in the semester to avoid any delay in implementation. Note that students must obtain a new letter of accommodation for every semester and must meet with each faculty member prior to implementation in each class. Students are strongly encouraged to deliver letters of accommodation during faculty office hours or by appointment. Faculty members have the authority to ask students to discuss such letters during their designated office hours to protect the privacy of the student. For additional information see the Office of Disability Accommodation website at http://www.unt.edu/oda. You may also contact them by phone at 940.565.4323.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA Information): Students have the right to expect their grades will be kept confidential. There are a few things, because of the size of the size and/or nature of the class, the instructor must advise you of regarding collection and distribution of test results, quiz scores, assignments, projects, etc. During this class it may be necessary for you to pass your assignments forward to the instructor or it may be necessary for the instructor to call your name and then return your completed assignment to you by passing it across the room. The instructor, under the reasonable assumption guidelines, assumes students are collecting ONLY their own materials. Every attempt will be made to keep your information confidential. Neither your course grades nor grades for any individual assignment will be posted in a way that could result in your being identified by other students or faculty members.

SPOT Evaluation. If you complete the SPOT evaluation and submit a screen shot of the receipt, through the assignment link, you will receive 8 extra points added to your grade total. The SPOT evaluations will be published at the end of the semester. Email etiquette 1. Keep emails to a minimum! Ask general questions in class. Use email only to make an appointment. 2. Do NOT attempt to contact the instructor through Blackboard Learn. Use your UNT email account to send emails to Dr. Gu and course TA (emails send from gmail/yahoo/msn/etc. accounts may get directed to the Junk E-mail box)! The instructor’s e-mail address is [email protected] and that is the communication avenue you should use. 3. It is recommended that you put “KINE 4050 [and whatever else is appropriate]” in the subject line of your e-mail communication so that the instructor is aware that this is communication about KINE 4050. 4. Do not send attachments. Attachments get deleted. If for some reason you need to send an attachment, send first an email explaining why, and only send it after the instructor has emailed you back that you can send it. 5. Do not include your UNT-ID number (or Social security number) in any emails! No questions about grades and/or specifics about exam questions will be answered by email.
