Contract

Contract Between The Faculty And Student

The use of the world wide web changes how faculty and students interact. Obviously, based on my use of the web to support traditional faculty-student support services and teaching, I feel that the web can improve the thoroughness of teacher-student interactions.

Despite these improvements, it is imperative that some aspects of the traditional approach to teaching need to be retained. One such aspect is the use of the course outline as a contract between the lecturer and student for the content of the course, the format of the lectures, the assignments due, the number of exams, and a summary of all components of student assessment for grading purposes.

To fulfill this important contractual arrangement between us, I need you to,

	read this document,
	print it,
	initialize all components in the squared parentheses provided,
	sign the form, and
	then submit the form to me to place on file.

This will be my documentation that you are aware of all matters that pertain to this course, and most importantly, that you understand the need to study, and complete and submit assignments on the dates specified.

As a student in PEP:593-007 - Exercise Endocrinology, I understand the following characteristics and requirements of this course;

[ ] I need to print and sign this contract, and then submit it to the lecturer.

[ ] I need to read the assigned readings, as well as the pertinent research studies from the class research compilation on a given topic prior to each class.

[ ] I need to bring the research compilation to each class.

[ ] I need to print the slide summaries and bring them to each class to use them as a note pad.

[ ] I need to bring all prior handouts to each class.

[ ] I need to complete the lecture material for my presentations using Powerpoint technology, and use projection technology during my lecture.

[ ] I need to complete the project on hormones, glands, their involvement during specific exercise conditions, and for regulating key physiological responses. This project needs to be submitted on the Monday of the fourth week (July 30).

[ ] I need to submit the file containing my Powerpoint lecture to the instructor at least 2 days in advance to facilitate posting of the file to the website and student preparation for the lecture prior to the session.

[ ] I need to prepare for exams continuously throughout the course by maintaining class reading and revising class handouts and lecture notes.

[ ] I need to be involved in class discussions. Although this is a non-graded component of the class, it will help all class members as well as myself in being able to verbalize my understanding of concepts. It will also reveal what I do and do not know on certain topics, which will help me in my study of the material in preparation for exams.

[ ] I understand that I need to attend whatever observation sessions are scheduled into this course. If these sessions are scheduled outside of lass time, I will do my best to attend, and inform the lecturer when I have a conflict that prevents me from attending.
