food/cooking lesson. Students will be required to teach the class as if we were a group of children and will need to provide all materials necessary (except for glue, crayons and some construction paper). Each presentation should be approximately 10 -15 minutes in duration. Points will be deducted for presentation that last 5 minutes or less AND for presentations that last longer than 18 minutes. Students will work with a partner to complete this assignment. Please see the attached scoring rubric for detailed requirements and a complete points breakdown. The written lesson plan for this assignment must be submitted through Blackboard. 2. Food Management Book (115 points) GEO 1,2,3,7,8; CO 5, 6, 8 Students will collect a minimum of 10 recipes that could be used with children. Recipes should be typed, double spaced. All recipes should be nutritious, easy to prepare for snack/meal times and fun for children. Try to find recipes that focus on child involvement. Recipes should be organized in a professional manner i.e. – title page, table of contents, bibliography, etc.. In addition, students will complete a menu for one week in a childcare setting. (1 lunch, am snack and pm snack per day for five days) Students must utilize the recipes that they have located for this project as the snacks on this menu. The menu will follow the nutrition guidelines in regulated childcare settings. Additional information related to food allergies must also be present. Students should refer to chapter 11 in the textbook as a guideline. Please see the attached scoring rubric for detailed requirements and complete points breakdown. This assignment may be handed in to Mrs. Morris in class (in hard copy) but will be graded using Blackboard. Students need to submit an assignment to access the scoring rubric and receive a grade. No exceptions. 3. Children’s Commercial Evaluation (50 points) GEO 1, 2, 3, 7; CO 1 – 6 Students will spend several hours watching children’s television to evaluate the nutritional content and advertising of commercials aimed at the early childhood age. Students should watch and summarize a minimum of 6 commercials. For each product advertised students should then locate and evaluate the nutritional content of the product. This can be done in chart form and/or narrative form. The assignment should include: title page, table of contents, descriptions and critiques of 6 commercials, nutritional information and critiques of 6 commercials. This assignment must submitted to Blackboard. (Please see the attached scoring rubric for detailed requirements and a complete points breakdown.) This assignment must be submitted through Blackboard.

4. Vaccination Research (115 points) GEO 1,2,3,7,8; CO 5, 6, 8 Vaccinations are a requirement in every state. The intent is to ensure the safety and health of children in the United States. However, there are parents who do not believe in the vaccination process. Students will be charged with researching this topic. Each student will find four articles – two in support of vaccinations and two against the practice. Each article will then be summarize in annotated

SAMPLE

bibliography form. Students will need to provide copies of each articles’ search page from Wor-Wic’s database. This can be done utilizing a screen shot or snip tool in Microsoft Word. This assignment must submitted to Blackboard. (Please see the attached scoring rubric for detailed requirements and a complete points breakdown.) This assignment must be submitted through Blackboard. 5. Parent Information Board (145 points) GEO 1,2,3,7,8, 9; CO 5, 6, 8

One job that early childhood educators are faced with is that of parent resource. Often times we become the sole source of information for parents to keep their children healthy and safe. To assist with this process, each student will obtain a standard sized, trifold science board. The board will be used to display information related to multiple different health/safety issues that parents should be aware of. For each issue students must provide an informational display as well as handouts for parents to take from the board. Specific, detailed requirements for this assignment are detailed on the scoring rubric at the end of this syllabus. You do not need to provide enough handouts for the entire class. One handout for each topic (as an example) is sufficient. The board should be neat, attractive and draw in an audience. All decorations for the board must be home-made (not store bought) with exception of lettering and border. Students will be graded on handwriting. It is required that students utilize at least four resources for this project (not including the book) and submit a complete works cited page via Blackboard. . (Please see the attached scoring rubric for detailed requirements and a complete points breakdown.) The works cited page for this assignment must be submitted through Blackboard. 6. Video Reflections (13 x 15 points = 195 points total): GEO’s 1,2,3,7; CO –

Students will watch several videos that are aligned with the curriculum of this course. After each video, students are required to write a reaction summary to the video. Each reflection should include and introduction, summary of what knowledge was learned, and a conclusion. Please see the formal scoring rubric on Blackboard for specific information regarding this assignment. Each video reflection has a specified due date and will become unavailable to students after the date posted on the tentative course outline. Please check the tentative course outline on page 12 of this syllabus for the specific due date for each video journal.

Video Reflections posted on Blackboard utilizing a lower case “i” (in place of the grammatically correct “I”), fail to utilize overall proper capitalization at the beginning of sentences and proper nouns and/or fail to utilize basic punctuation at the end of sentences will automatically receive a grade of “0”. 7. Examination requirements: (1 @ 150 points = 150 points) Only one exam will be given throughout the semester. The final exam will consist of multiple choice, true/false, labeling, matching, essay and short answer questions. Students are encouraged to begin preparing note cards and other

SAMPLE

C h i l d H e a l t h , S a f e t y & N u t r i t i o n / S p r i n g D 2 0 1 7 | 8

study tools beginning with the first class session. The exam will be comprehensive and cover all aspects of the course, text and notes.

8. Online Quizzes: (140 points) GEO 1,2,3,4,7,8, 9; CO “ALL”

Students will be required to complete an online quiz for the text introduction and each chapter (1 through 14). Each quiz will count 10 points towards the student’s final grade. Quizzes will be completed and graded via Blackboard. Students will get unlimited chances to complete each chapter quiz. The scores from each quiz attempt will be added and then averaged to arrive at a final score for each quiz for the student. Students are encouraged to utilize their class notes and textbook to complete each chapter quiz. All quizzes are due by the date specified on the tentative course outline of page 12 of this syllabus.

9. Class Assignments (13 @ 10 points each = 130 points) GEO 1,2,3,4,7,8, 9; CO “ALL” Due to the format of this course attendance is crucial. Research shows an unequivocal relationship between a student’s time in class and his/her grade in that class. To achieve maximum learning potential you must commit to attending class on a regular basis. A class assignment will be given at each class meeting. The in class assignments will be designed to facilitate the application, processing and reinforcement of the content taught. The instructor will collect and grade these assignments. Each assignment will count 20 points towards the student final grade. There also will be NO MAKE-UPS for any missed class assignments. If you are absent you will forfeit your points.

Extra Credit Options:

The instructor will offer several opportunities for extra credit throughout the semester. Extra credit is not required of the instructor nor is it required of a student. A summary of opportunities, dates/times, locations and points possible is included below.

in all programs should conduct themselves in a way that is respectful to their classmates, the instructor and the classroom environment. This includes, but is not limited to, avoiding any behavior that distracts their classmates or instructor from the subject matter or discussion during the full class period. It is expected that, as current and future educators, all students will behave professionally. This includes being punctual, appropriately dressed, using correct language, refraining from unnecessary cell phone and/or computer use, and being respectful of the opinions of others. In the event that this behavior is not demonstrated, the overall learning environment may be compromised and, therefore, students will be referred to the Student Faculty Disciplinary Committee. Students are also encouraged to read the Wor-Wic Community College Cheating and Plagiarism Policy (on page 11 of this document). This policy will be enforced by your Professor with no exceptions. Academic Honesty: Academic honesty is expected of all students. Plagiarism and cheating are violations of academic honesty. Any student found violating the academic policy will receive an automatic “O” for the assignment and the matter will be handed over to the Student Disciplinary Committee. Documented evidence of the plagiarism or cheating will be kept in the Human Services Department Office.

Plagiarism:

In both oral and written communication, the following guidelines for avoiding plagiarism must be followed:

1. Any words quoted directly from a source must be in quotation marks and

cited. 2. Any paraphrasing or rephrasing of the words and/or ideas of a source must

be cited. 3. Any ideas or examples derived from a source that are not in the public

domain or of general knowledge must be cited. 4. All papers and presentations must be the student’s own work.

Any student found violating any of the above guidelines for avoiding plagiarism will receive an automatic “0" for the assignment and then the matter will be turned to the Student Disciplinary Committee. Documented evidence of the plagiarism will be kept in the General Education office.

There are ambiguities in concepts of plagiarism. Each instructor will be available for consultation regarding any confusion a student may have.

Cheating:

Cheating is the act of obtaining information or data improperly, by dishonest or

SAMPLE
