Class Format and Requirements: The course format will consist of online lectures and readings. Online lectures (a few video clips for each chapter) will be posted online. The readings will compliment the lecture materials. However, some things will be covered in lecture notes that will not be covered in the book. You are responsible for learning everything that is covered in class. The lecture notes will always be incomplete. The best strategy is to print out the lecture notes, and then write additional notes on top of them while watching online lectures. Requirements for Satisfactory Completion of Course: There will be 12 quizzes, four exams, one individual presentation, and three assignments (including online activities and discussion boards). Quizzes consist of 4 questions, usually given at the end of each section (e.g., Introduction to Health Psychology). The mid-term exams and the final exam will each consist of 30 questions. All questions will be multiple-choice format. All quizzes, midterm and final exams will be delivered online. This means that they are open book/notes. However, they are timed – you can take 20 minutes to complete quizzes and 60 minutes to complete the midterm and final exams. For the assignments, you will be required to write up to 4 - 5 pages paper (including a reference pages). The assignment will involve searching the literature (references) and providing a critical assessment. For the presentation, you will give a short online presentation about behavioral and psychosocial factors on a certain disease. Individual presentations will be scheduled during my office hours in Week 1 1 and 12. More information on the individual presentation will be provided before the first exam. Exam grades and correct answers will be viewable after the due date of the exam (to prevent students from sharing correct answers) If you must miss an exam because of a personal/family emergency or illness you must notify me as soon as possible AND provide adequate documentation of the event that caused you to miss the exam. The makeup exam will consist of short answer questions. Methods for Evaluating Student Performance : The weighting will be given as follows: Quizzes 10% Exam 1 (due 2/12) 15 % Exam 2 (due 3/12) 15 % Exam 3 (due 4/9) 15 % Final Exam (due 5/7) 15 % Presentation (Week1 0 & 1 1 ) 15 % Assignments (due 5/3) 15 % I will use the following scale to assign letter grades: 90 and above = A 80 - 89 = B 70 - 79 = C 60 - 69 = D 59 and below = F

COVID-19 Pandemic Policies Related to Classroom Instruction (Fall 2020 - Spring 2021) Health and Safety Consistent with the Illinois Board of Higher Education guidance contained in “Safely Launching Academic Year 2020” released on June 23, 2020 and guidelines established by Governor J. B. Pritzker and Restore Illinois , Southern Illinois University Edwardsville has implemented a new policy to help ensure the safety of all students, faculty and employees during the pandemic. The measures outlined below are required and any student who does not comply may be in violation of the COVID-19 People-Focused Health and Safety Policy , as well as the University’s Student Code of Conduct. The full text of the COVID-19 People-Focused Health and Safety Policy can be found here: https://www.siue.edu/policies/Covid.shtml. Classrooms, Labs, Studios, and Other Academic Spaces While in the classroom, lab, studio, or other academic spaces, students shall practice social distancing measures by maintaining a distance of at least six feet from others in the classroom and wearing a face covering. Extra care should be taken upon entering and leaving the classroom spaces. Classroom furniture should not be rearranged, and furniture that has been taped off or covered should not be used. Students who forget to wear a face mask or face shield will be reminded of their obligation to comply with SIUE’s COVID-19 People-Focused Health and Safety Policy and temporarily asked to leave the class until they are able to conform to the policy. Students who forget or lose their face coverings may be able to obtain replacements from a friend, a faculty member, or a nearby departmental office. Face coverings are also available for purchase in the Cougar Store (MUC). Students who refuse to wear a face covering will be asked to leave the classroom and referred to the Dean of Students for non-compliance with community health and safety protocols. Repeated non-compliance may result in disciplinary actions, including the student being administratively dropped from an on-ground/face-to-face course or courses without refund if no alternative course format is available. If a student has a documented health condition which makes wearing a face covering medically intolerable, that student should contact ACCESS to explore options with the understanding that ACCESS will not grant accommodations which excuse the need for a face covering while on campus or in the classroom. ACCESS will work with qualifying individuals to find reasonable alternatives, whenever such solutions are available. Please call or contact the ACCESS Office via email to schedule an online appointment to discuss potential alternatives. ACCESS office (Student Success Center, Room 1203, 618- 650 - 3726, and myaccess@siue.edu).

General Health Measures At all times, students should engage in recommended health and safety measures, which include:

  • Conducting a daily health assessment. If you have COVID-19 symptoms, but not yet tested positive, have had COVID-19 close contact exposure, or are COVID-19 diagnosed as presumptive or confirmed positive, stay home and contact your health provider or SIUE Health Service at cougarcare@siue.edu or 618 - 650 - 2842. More information is available on the SIUE COVID-19 website.
  • Frequent washing or disinfecting of hands.
  • Social distancing by maintaining a distance of at least six feet from others.
  • Face masks or face coverings that cover the nose and mouth are required in indoor public spaces regardless of the ability to maintain social distance. Indoor public spaces include common spaces or community settings that anyone can access, such as reception areas with walk-in access, restrooms, hallways, classrooms, teaching and research laboratories, as well as common spaces in residence halls, conference rooms, lobbies, and break rooms.
  • Adhere to directional signs and traffic flow patterns in buildings and offices. Doors for entering and exiting buildings will be designated. Where multiple doors exist, in and out doors will be marked with “Entrance” and “Exit” signs. Plans that consider traffic flow in and out of buildings, and within buildings (i.e. stairs, hallways, etc. where possible) will be marked. Academic Integrity Students are reminded that the expectations and academic standards outlined in the Student Academic Code (3C2) apply to all courses, field experiences and educational experiences at the University, regardless of modality or location. The full text of the policy can be found here: https://www.siue.edu/policies/3c2.shtml. Recordings of Class Content Faculty recordings of lectures and/or other course materials are meant to facilitate student learning and to help facilitate a student catching up who has missed class due to illness. As such, students are reminded that the recording, as well as replicating or sharing of any course content and/or course materials without the express permission of the instructor of record, is not permitted, and may be considered a violation of the University’s Student Conduct Code (3C1), linked here: https://www.siue.edu/policies/3c1.shtml. Potential for Changes in Course Schedule or Modality As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, there remains a possibility that planned classroom activities will need to be adjusted. Depending on circumstances and following state-issued recommendations, potential changes include changes in course modality (e.g., transition from face-to-face to online) or in course scheduled meetings. These changes would be implemented to ensure the successful completion of the course. In these cases, students will be provided with an addendum to the class syllabus that will supersede the original version.
