This course will develop students’ ability to assess behavioral difficulties, analyze and organize data, and develop interventions designed to meet the referral issues while addressing the hypothesized function. Students will demonstrate the ability to make recommendations regarding student placement, grouping arrangements, and referral sources based on individual and classroom management needs. Students will demonstrate the ability to communicate assessment data in oral and written form to plan effectively in providing services. Students will demonstrate the ability to identify problem behavior and to design, implement, and evaluate behavior management plans within home and school environments. The specific learning outcomes are as follows:
Timely submission of work is an important professional attribute. All assignments are due on the dates indicated on the course calendar. Work submitted late will be marked down accordingly at the discretion of the instructor. The only exception is when the student contacts the instructor before the assignment is due, and the instructor agrees to provide an exception to the due date based on the student’s extenuating circumstances. Assignments not submitted on the due date with no advance notice to the instructor will be penalized as specified in the assignment instructions (see individual rubrics). Grades on assignments will be lowered the designated number of points per day late. If an assignment is not submitted by the end of the course, an additional five points will be deducted per assignment, on top of the late penalty.
Faculty Council has determined the following policy for Incomplete Grades: A grade of Incomplete (INC) may be given at the discretion of the instructor when 1) a student has satisfactorily completed most, but not all, course requirements, and 2) a student provides to the instructor evidence documenting the extenuating circumstances that prevent the completion of course requirements by the end of the semester. Candidates receive grades of incomplete (INC) only when a situation beyond their control prevents them from completing course work.
It is important to note that grades of INC will only be given if the instructor determines the grade is appropriate given the unusual extenuating circumstances and such circumstances are documented by the student. An incomplete grade in a course that is a prerequisite for another course must be cleared before the candidate can enter the next course. Final assignments not submitted on the due date at the end of the semester are given a grade of zero.
The faculty and administration of Brooklyn College support an environment free from cheating and plagiarism. Cheating is any misrepresentation in academic work. Plagiarism is the representation of another person’s work, words, or ideas as your own. It includes submitting a paper previously written for another course. Students should read the complete text of the CUNY Policy on Academic Integrity. If a faculty member suspects a violation of academic integrity and, upon investigation, confirms that violation, or if the student admits the violation, the faculty member MUST report the violation. Students should be aware that faculty may use plagiarism detection software.
