degree program. You should discuss the following: A thorough description/definition of each of your concentration areas. A thorough discussion/definition of the subdisciplines of each of your concentration areas (in other words, how is the discipline organized?A thorough discussion of your main areas of interest. List three concepts, and a central, specifictheory developed by a leading researcher in the discipline. You should list three concepts for eachdiscipline. Subdisciplines do not count as concepts and/or as theories.A description of a research methodology used in each concentration area.A comprehensive elaboration of the courses you have taken in your concentration areas, includingboth skills and content learnedA comprehensive elaboration of the courses in your concentration areas that you plan to take inorder to graduatePlans for 401Your short-term, intermediate, and long-term goalsYou should be as detailed and as precise as possible in your answers. Do research—do not try to wing anyof the above. Cite correctly. Improper citation will not be accepted. Failure to do academic research forthis assignment will result in a failing grade. Citing your class notes is not good enough. Claimingthat you are knowledgeable enough to define or explain something because you took x amount of classes issimply not acceptable—part of this assignment grade is based on your ability to do academic research. Youare to cite academic scholars, professional academic organizational websites, or departmental websites only.Academic research is required for this assignment.Be sure to discuss EACH OF THE COURSES you have taken in your concentration areas and each of thecourses you plan to take to finish your degree in your concentration areas. Discuss what you have learnedfrom these courses in terms of knowledge and skills. Listing courses by number is NOT enough. If you areuncertain about which courses you will be taking to finish your degree you list the most likely ofpossibilities you are contemplating and consult the ASU Course Catalog for more information.To complete this assignment you need to do some planning. Think about how you will fill your degreerequirements in a meaningful manner. Think about some BIS 401 possibilities—BIS 401 is a course thatinvolves an applied learning experience—with lots of options. Explore the options and find something thatwill contribute to your experience in the interdisciplinary studies degree program. Explore what classes youwould like to take to complete your areas of emphasis. If you have completed all classes, please list themby course title (not course number). Also, keep in mind that I am asking you to think and plan for thesethings—you are not being locked into anything at this point. Some early planning now could help you getthe most out of this program.Be sure to write in complete sentences whenever it is appropriate.The intent of this assignment is to get you to clarify where you want to go as a student. You will begraded on the quality of your writing, the specificity of your plan, and how much thoughtful effort you haveput into your attempt to plan your future course of study.More information about this assignment and the Plan of Study Worksheet are available in the class handoutthat is available on the website in the Plan of Study folder under Assignments. Additional information canbe found in Chapter 7 in Augsburg.III.BIS 301 Program Portfolio (200 points)Throughout the interdisciplinary studies degree core sequence, every interdisciplinary studies student isexpected to assemble a program portfolio of his/her work in the program. Your BIS 301 program portfoliowill include designated assignments, self-assessment on the progression toward career goals, and anevaluation of key educational and personal activities that apply. The purpose of the program portfolio is toallow students to chart their own development, to think about what they have learned in-depth, and identifystrengths of improvement as they proceed through the BIS program.4

In BIS 301 you will create a program portfolio that emphasizes self-discovery. While I am going toevaluate your program portfolio primarily as a storehouse of information about your academic career as aninterdisciplinary studies major, it is a good idea to think about creating another portfolio, a "showcaseportfolio," which you could bring along to interviews. For more information about portfolios in general,and career planning/showcase portfolios in particular, the ASU Career Services/Career Development Centerhas available further information online.The following pertains to the standard program portfolio assigned and evaluated in BIS 301:Your portfolio should consist of a large, 3” or 5” plastic binder. You need ample room to include all yourdocuments—do not purchase a binder that is too small. You need to purchase plastic cover sheets anddividers as well. You can get a head start to this assignment by doing the following: Writing a mission statementGathering your work from BIS 301 and possible some samples of interdisciplinary work from yourcore classes Make a list of your strengths and weaknesses Go to Career Services and get their handouts on value explorations Create/update your resume Obtain copies of your DARS report (an Advisor will be visiting the class and handing out DARSreports)To complete the portfolio assignment you will need to follow the list of artifacts detailed in the BIS 301Portfolio Evaluation, which will be available on the website. Further information and instructions regardingthis assignment is available in the handout available on the website and also in the reader.IV.Interdisciplinary Problem Team Teaching Demonstration (Presentation) (200 points)What interdisciplinary problems are you interested in solving or understanding more comprehensively?Students are to form teams (3-4 people in a team) and the team as a unit will research, analyze, present andwrite about an interdisciplinary problem utilizing the integrative process. Each person is responsible for 710 minutes of presented material.More details about group presentations will be available.V.Teaching Demonstration Problem Solving Report (100 points)For your teaching demonstration you will be addressing an interdisciplinary problem. The report willinclude a written report of your integrative process, a team journal, a team bibliography, any handoutsgiven during the presentation, and any downloaded internet research.More instructions and details about this assignment will be available in the handout available online under“Assignments.”VI.Homework (10 @ 10 points each) (100 points)Students will have a number of small homework assignments that will help you prepare for the largerassignments. Unless specified differently, these homework assignments must be typewritten andhanded in at the beginning of class. Handwritten homework will not be accepted unless specifieddifferently. Homework assignments cannot be turned in late. Any homework assignments that are tobe posted to a discussion board on the BIS 301 website must be posted by the designated time indicatedon the discussion board (usually by the start of your particular section’s class time).5

Acceptance of the late work at full credit would also punish the student who turned it in late becausethe understanding or forgiving of missed deadlines.Part of your commitment to the class is to do the best job of which you are capable with the time allotted.Therefore, major assignments that are handed in within seven days after the due date will belowered by one complete letter grade. Major assignments except for the final written report that ishanded in more than seven days after the due date will not be accepted for credit. This rule applieseven if the computer or printer fails to function or if you are eligible to miss class. Start written work farenough in advance to allow for possible glitches. Completing your written work early also allows youmore time to prepare. Work is due at the beginning of class. Students who show up late with their workwill have their work counted as late. All final work must be handed in by the last day of class. Homeworkassignments will not be accepted late.NOTE: Late work will not be graded/handed back until the end of the semester.Illness and/or catastrophes. The policy on overdue assignments applies to students who are illwithout official medical documentation. Frequently, students will have a cold or a sore foot on the daythey are to hand in work. These students are encouraged to face adverse conditions and survive.Students facing catastrophic illness or events (e.g., death of immediate family) are advised to make anappointment with the instructor, and develop a special plan of action. Please be aware, though, that theinstructor does not consider allergies, the flu, or death of pets catastrophic.6

Attendance PolicyAttendance is expected and required. Students who are extremely late and miss most of the class will becounted as absent, not late. In accordance of university policy, absences due to major religious holidayswill be excused with prior notification within the first two weeks of the semester to the instructor. Absencesdue to catastrophic illness or events (i.e., death in the family) will require official documentation to beexcused.For classes that meet twice a week, five or more unexcused absences will result in failure. For classesthat meet once a week, three or more absences will result in failure. Absences due to illness or medicalemergency will require official medical documentation.You are expected to come to class prepared, i.e., having done the reading. The instructor reserves the rightto ask those students who are unprepared to participate in the class discussion to leave and mark themabsent.Any disruptive student will be asked to leave the classroom and will be marked absent.Habitual, chronic lateness will result in the lowering of a full letter grade in the determination of the finalgrade.ParticipationStudents have to be in attendance to be able to participate. Students who are absent will have three pointsdeducted (for classes that meet twice a week) or six points deducted (for classes that meet once a week) fromtheir participation grade for each class that they are absent.You are expected to come to class prepared in order to participate, i.e., having done the reading. Theinstructor reserves the right to ask those students who are unprepared to participate in the class discussionto leave and mark them absent.Words to the WiseThis course is an “L” designated course. It is intended to be writing intensive. It is expected that youwill be evaluated on the quality of your writing. The expectation is that your writing and research abilitieswill have improved since freshman composition classes. You will be thus graded not “like an Englishmajor” but according to the rules and stylistic practices of American English grammar that all collegegraduates and literate persons adhere to in the workplace as well as in academia. You will be judged on thequality of your writing for the rest of your life—this course is no exception. The instructor has no teachingassistant. The instructor has had extensive experience teaching writing, has had many writing successstories in the past, and is looking forward to many more. However, as this is an upper-level course,college level writing is expected. Instructor will not read work that is not at the college level. Any papershanded in that have more than ten (10) errors in grammar, formatting, spelling, or citation style will begiven a failing grade—i.e., zero points with no chance of rewrite. Students therefore must not only spellcheck all writing, but also revise repeatedly all work that is to be handed in. Ask others to read your workbefore you hand it in.Make back up copies of all your files on more than one diskette. "The computer crashed!!" or"My diskette isn't working" will not be regarded as legitimate excuses for not handing in work ontime.Invest in a good dictionary, a good thesaurus, and either the MLA or APA style manual. You have beenwarned!Do the course reading, and consult the reader if you have any questions regarding assignments. In the paststudents have not turned in work/ turned in incomplete assignments because they thought it was beneaththem to crack open the reader, only to learn that they did not have a sufficient number of points to pass theclass at the end of the semester.7

If you have insecurities about your writing or the course, please feel free to tell the instructor as soon aspossible early in the course. If you need extra help or attention, you must let me know early in the course.Late notification is, alas, too late.Fraternity/Sorority activities are not legitimate excuses for any missed class or missed work.Finally, the grade you will receive in this class is your responsibility. Improvement during the course ofthe semester will be viewed upon favorably; slacking off at the end of the semester will be viewed uponunfavorably by the instructor.In compliance to the Buckley Amendment, the instructor will not post final grades, nor will she emailgrades or inform students of their grades over the telephone. Moreover, the instructor will not give outgeneral information about grades, i.e., grade distribution for the class.The instructor will try her best to adhere to the contents of this syllabus. However, she does reservethe right to amend it if absolutely necessary, and if that should be the case, further supplementaddenda (written or oral) will be given to the students. You should consider such addenda assufficient warning of such changes. Copyright Tanya Augsburg, [email protected], 1/9/068
