Attendance and punctuality will play a role in each students final grade. Any additional
absences beyond 1 will require documentation; otherwise points will be deducted from a
students final grade. Tardiness (arriving 10 minutes after the start of class without prior notice)
will also result in a reduction in a students final grade if it persists throughout the semester.
Participation:
Participation will require the student to engage in the course material and positively
contribute to the overall learning experience of the class. In order to supplement the emphasis
on writing, class meetings will be based around discussion of the textbook material. This
requirement will count toward the students final grade.
Research Paper:
A research project will be implemented during the semester. It will serve to illustrate the
research methodology being studied and to collect information on the phenomenon being
studied, namely the awe-experience. This paper will be written up according to APA writing
style. The Research Paper will be completed in sections that must be turned in by the specified
due date. Five percent of the grade will be subtracted for each calendar day late.
Each paper must be independently written even though the research project is conducted
in groups. DO NOT PLAGIARIZE! Plagiarism will result in an automatic grade of F.
Researcher Reflections:
Throughout the semester, students are expected to participate in online Discussion Boards
called researcher Reflections. This allows to students to reflect on what it is like to be a
researcher and on given aspects of the study. These Discussion Boards are informal in nature,
as students will be describing their subjecting experience. In addition to answering the prompt
each week, students will be responsible for responding to at least two other classmates for
each weeks post.
