I think the things we\u2019re talking about in class are incredibly cool, exciting, and worthy of your time, thought, and energy. Hopefully, when you finish the class, you\u2019ll believe the same (or at least understand how a reasonable person could believe the same), have developed a really solid working knowledge of the field, and know where and how to further your own knowledge and expertise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re going to have a lot of fun, but I also expect you to work hard. Work hard at the assignments, sure, but more than that, work hard at understanding the stuff we\u2019re talking about, why it matters, and what you can do with it\u2014that\u2019s what really matters. We&#8217;ll employ a variety of resources, assignments, and activities throughout the class to accomplish these goals, an approach know as active learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Class Culture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While our <a href=\"https:\/\/nmi.cool\/intro\/learning-digitally-online\/\">first lesson<\/a> will walk through many of the attitudes and practices each of you, individually, will need to cultivate to succeed in this class, it&#8217;s also worth taking some time to talk about what we all should expect from each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, we&#8217;ll work to cultivate an atmosphere of curiosity, fun, and professionalism. That means that you can expect me to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create an atmosphere of curiosity and inclusion where everyone feels welcome to bring their authentic selves to class<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communicate a clear direction for the course as a whole and for each class gathering, activity, and assignment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work diligently to make all assignments and activities of this class worthwhile<a href=\"#footnote-1-460\" id=\"note-1-460\" rel=\"footnote\">1<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, I expect each of you to approach each component of the class with an open mind, a diligent work ethic, and respect for your peers and instructors. How? We&#8217;ll get into the particulars throughout the rest of the syllabus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udcda Texts + Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Course site<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the readings for the course can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/nmi.cool\/intro\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/nmi.cool\/intro\">https:\/\/nmi.cool\/intro<\/a>.

You don&#8217;t want to fail, and I don&#8217;t want you to fail, either, so you&#8217;re going to make a plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A plan for what? A plan for how and when you&#8217;re going to tackle this class. Thoroughly read through the syllabus and the assignments, and take a look at the lessons. Then, make a plan for when and how you&#8217;re going to work on this class, and mark it down <a href=\"https:\/\/nmi.cool\/intro\/learning-digitally\/#calendar\">on your calendar<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few pieces of advice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If at all possible, pick a regular time and stick to it\u2014the power of habit is undeniable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plan for more time than you think you&#8217;ll need\u2014at least 15-20% more. Why? Most of us are generally far too optimistic about how long it&#8217;ll take us to complete tasks. And, the worst case is pretty good, too: if you complete the work in less time than you budgeted, guess what? You just found some free time!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Realistically account for the fact that you&#8217;re a human being. You may stay up late, sleep in late, have a day where you have absolutely no motivation to work, be presented with&nbsp;an awesome last-minute opportunity that you can&#8217;t say no to, etc. All that to say, build in some buffer to your plan, and be realistic about when in the day you plan to work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After you complete your plan, take the Learning Plan quiz on eLC. You won&#8217;t actually turn in the plan itself because a) it should live in your calendar, to-do list, etc. and b) if you don&#8217;t complete it, it&#8217;ll ultimately hurt only you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"discussions\">Group explorations&nbsp;&#8211; 20 points<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The goal<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn how to ask and explore good questions about new media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The groups<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll be randomly assigned\u00a0to a small group in a private channel on Teams, which will be\u00a0your de facto home for the class.

If late work is accepted, the <strong>minimum<\/strong> penalty for the first assignment you turn in late is 10% of its total value per day late (ex: 10-point exam turned in two days late will be penalized a minimum of 2 points). After your first late assignment, each subsequent late assignment will be penalized a <strong>minimum<\/strong> of 20% of its total value per day (ex: 10-point exam turned in two days late will be penalized a minimum of 4 points).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"&quot;emaildms\">Email \/ Direct Messages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As I\u2019ve already mentioned, we\u2019re using\u00a0Teams as the\u00a0sole tool for our class communication. So, <strong>instead of emailing me, direct message\u00a0me via Teams<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So that we can most quickly help those in need of assistance, take the following steps before messaging us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check the syllabus, eLC, previous Teams conversations, the class site, etc. to see if the answer\u2019s posted there<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spend 5-15 \u00a0minutes (but not any more time than that)\u00a0trying to solve the problem on your own (via Google, asking a classmate, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do all of those and still have a question just for us, then by all means direct message me! I\u2019ll respond to your questions as quickly as possible, but please allow a reasonable amount of time (generally under 24 hours; 2 business days max) for a response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teams allows for communication to be informal and fun, which is great! But, don\u2019t forget to communicate professionally, even while having fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">O\ufb03ce Hours<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll be as responsive to your questions as humanly possible via Teams, but if you\u2019d like to set up some time to talk via Zoom, just let me know, and we\u2019ll work out a time that\u2019s mutually agreeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Access Policy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a disability and require accommodations, please contact me directly via Teams. If you plan to request accommodations for a disability, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/accessibility.uga.edu\/register-for-services\/\">the Accessibility and Testing website<\/a> or call 706-542-8719.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Non-Discrimination Policy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not engage in or tolerate discrimination or harassment on the basis of race\/ethnicity, religion, national origin, sex\/gender, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental disability, or veteran status. In addition, I do not discriminate on the basis of class, income, or political views. If there is something I can do to make the class more hospitable, please let me know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honor Code and Academic Honesty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a University of Georgia Student, you have agreed to abide by the University\u2019s academic honesty policy, \u201cA Culture of Honesty\u201d, and the UGA Student Honor Code:<em> &#8220;I will be academically honest in all of my academic work and will not tolerate academic dishonesty of others.&#8221; <\/em>A Culture of Honesty, the University&#8217;s policy and procedures for handling cases of suspected dishonesty, can be found at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.uga.edu\/ovpi\">honesty.uga.edu<\/a><em>.<\/em> Lack of knowledge of the academic honesty policy is not a reasonable explanation for a violation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the entire policy online, but the short story is: don\u2019t cheat\u2014the punishments for violations of the Academic Honesty Policy are severe. You are expected to do your own work and to report individuals who do not do their own work. As nearly all of the class materials and assignments are online, you may find the temptation to cheat (cheating includes unauthorized sharing of class materials, using unauthorized sources during assessments, and more\u2014seriously, read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uga.edu\/honesty\">UGA Academic Honesty Policy<\/a> now to get a full sense of what all constitutes academic dishonesty) even greater than usual.
