Personal Testimony



I have a deep and abiding knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have received personal revelationthat God lives and He is our Eternal Father, that Jesus came to this earth, atoned for our sins, wasresurrected, and appeared to His apostles and to the people of the American continent as told in the NewTestament and the Book of Mormon. I have read the Book of Mormon, the Pearl of Great Price, and theDoctrine and Covenants and have prayed about those writings and have been given a testimony of theirdivinity and truth. I support and sustain President Monson as Prophet, Seer, Revelator, and as the President of theChurch of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I recognize him as the only person on this earth authorized tohold and exercise all of the sacred keys of the Priesthood. I further testify that the other members of theFirst Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles are Prophets, Seers, and Revelators, and sustainall those that have been appointed to serve under their direction. I have applied the teachings and counsels given in the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants,Pearl of Great Price, Conference Reports, and many other writings and sayings by the Prophets and theirchosen leaders. I have found them to be central in my life. I know that through careful study of the writtenworks and the spoken counsel of these individuals that we will not only be able to return to our Father inHeaven as promised, but also have a fulfilling and joyful life in our mortal existence. I believe all that has been given and all the will be given is true and correct, and that through exactnesswe may obtain the eternal blessings of our Father in Heaven. I write this testimony with the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ and in his name I bear the truthfulnessthereof.

Grading StandardGRADING SCALEThe grade equivalent is based on the following percentages:

*Note: This grade scale is slightly different than the one posted under the "Grades" section. Thecourse follows this grade scale, not the one under the "Grades" tab! GRADING PROCEDUREI. Adjustment Procedure for Assessments

Individual assessment functions (i.e., quizzes, exams) may be adjusted to account for:1. The two highest scores on the assessment.2. Assessment difficulty.3. Assessment ambiguity.

This is accomplished by discounting the highest two scores on the assessment and using the thirdhighest score as the adjusted maximum score. Adjusted individual scores are then computed bydividing the individual raw score by the adjusted maximum score and multiplying the product by100. For example:

A B C

Student RawScore

AdjustedScore

1 38 82.6

2 50 108.7

3 46 100.0



A B C

Student RawScore

AdjustedScore

4 48 104.3

5 45 97.8

5 32 69.6

6 15 32.6

7 43 93.5

8 36 78.3

9 29 63.0

10 40 87.0

The highest two scores were 50 and 48, respectively. The third highest score was 46. The adjustedscore (column C) were computed by dividing the values in column B by 46 and multiplying theproduct by 100. Using standard rounding techniques student no. 5 obtained a raw score of 45 andan adjusted score of 97.5. II. Final Weighted Grades*

Since each assessment may have different point values to adjust the weighting of that particularassessment to the final grade, a weighting factor is assigned each assessment and adjustedaccordingly. Possible Weighted Score

1. Multiply each possible point by the weighted factor (as a decimal).2. Sum the possible weighted points which results in the Possible Weighted Score.

Earned Weighted Score1. Multiply each earned point by the weighted factor (as a decimal).2. Sum the earned weighted point to obtain the Earned Weighted Score.

Weighted Percentage1. Divide the Earned Weighted Score by the Possible Weighted score.2. Multiply the product by 100 to obtain the Weighted Percentage.3. Compare Weighted Percentage with the course grade rule.

For example:

The Weighted Percentage then equals (for this example): [8.22/11.25]*100 = 73.08. Using standard rounding techniques, this would have a Final Weighted Earned Score for the courseof 73. Using the table below, this would give the student a C- in the course.



Please be advised that weighting factors may be adjusted at the end of the term based on changes

in assignments (additions or deletions).

*Since an electronic grade book is used, there may be, and usually is, some variations in the finalcalculated value. The values calculated by the electronic grade book are used to determine the finalgrade. EXTRA CREDITIn some instances extra credit may be given, at the discretion of the instructor, for participating inprojects, attending seminars or other professional experiences. Extra credit is not given forpurposes of grade deficiencies. Extra credits are included at the end of the term and added toindividual grades, thus not penalizing those that did not participate in the experience.

Helpful Tips to Make Your Life EasierThere are a few things that will help your workflow and make your life easier:

1. On all emails in the “Subject” box always use the convention, Lastname, Firstname followed bypurpose (Lab07, Video02, Question, etc.) and ComD438. For example: Finn, Huckleberry Readingquestion ComD438. This goes to a designated mailbox that I check several times each day. Failureto do so may get a significantly delayed answer or a late assignment penalty. 2. This course uses MS Word 2010 and PowerPoint 2010. If you do not have these releases you candownload a free software plug-in that will allow you to open these files (I can open files in earlierversions so you do not need to upgrade the actual software). The compatibility pack is available at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en) 3. Extensive use of Learning Suite is used in this course and it is your responsibility to be familiarwith its use. Online quizzes are given through Learning Suite as well as laboratory downloads. Basiccomputer literacy is assumed and necessary for this course. 4. Exams and assignments are due as scheduled unless they are changed for the entire class. Theonly exception is for medical situations. Exams and assignments are NOT given at alternate timesfor weddings, cruises, Disneyland, Home Comings, Farewells, work schedules, or non-approved BYUactivities. Some immediate “family” situations may be considered, except as noted above.

As with many things, the finish line is well defined and permanently affixed. Likewise, so areassignment deadlines. An assignment due at 8:00am is late at 8:01am. This course does not teach computer usage. As a student in an upper division or graduate levelcourse it is an expectation that you are computer literate, familiar with, and have a workingknowledge of, Microsoft Word (including uploading and downloading attachments), have an activeemail account recognized by the University (i.e., is used for your Route Y email), and capable ofinternet access and general computer program operation. Variance to policies will not occur

because of “computer problems.” You must always email from your personal email account sincethe account which I receive communications is the account I reply to using the “Reply” feature ofMicrosoft Outlook: Even if you give me a different email address in the body of the email. Okay, rules are no fun; but, these guidelines and requirements are meant to see you get propercredit for what is done and assists me in receiving and grading the assignments. It helps andprotects both of us. I really appreciate your cooperation on this matter.

Archiving of Student WorkAll materials not claimed by the end of the fourth week following the end of the term will be destroyed. After that date, it will not be possible to contest scores or grades, except according to University policy. The instructor reserves the right to fully review all contested material and adjust scores accordingly.

Appointment SchedulingMy office hours are primarily by appointment; however, if I am not involved in some activity you arewelcome to see me at any time. If you call my office telephone and leave a message be sure to leave atime and phone number that you will be available for me to return your telephone call. I will make oneattempt at returning your telephone call. If you contact me using e-mail be sure to put the course number(i.e. ComD 438, etc.) in the subject heading. I prioritize my e-mail by subject heading, with no headinggetting the lowest priority. My home telephone is for ‘emergencies’ and is not to be used to scheduleappointments or leave messages. I do not mind being contacted at home for specific questions. To schedule an appointment to see me you must use the following internet link and complete the self-scheduling procedure: https://my.timetrade.com/book/HG6FR(https://my.timetrade.com/book/HG6FR)

Classroom Policies DEVOTIONALSBrigham Young University provides devotionals and forums throughout the year on most Tuesdays from11:00 am to 11:50 am. On days that these enriching experiences are provided, the instructor is notavailable nor should any of the facilities be used as part of this course during that time period.

AssignmentsEXAMSExaminations will be multiple choice. Students are encouraged to meet with the instructor followingexaminations to discuss each question/answer. However, this must be within two weeks of theexamination being returned to the student. Examinations are given as scheduled. LABORATORY ASSIGNMENTSThe laboratory assignments will be practical experiences in audiometric assessment. All laboratoryassignments require the use of the Virtual Audiometer, a simulation program for teachingaudiometric testing procedures to beginning students. The TAs will instruct how to complete eachlab weekly and meeting with them during their office hours for further help is encouraged. Each

GRADING BREAKDOWNEach assignment will be weighted according to the following percentages:

Class PrayerStudents will be called upon to offer a prayer at the beginning of the class. As Brigham Young counseledKarl G. Maeser, the first head of the then Brigham Young Academy, “…neither the alphabet nor themultiplication tables were to be taught without the Spirit of God.” Realizing that prayer is personal, andthat it is not unusual for individuals not to prefer to offer public prayer, if any student is not comfortable tooffer a class prayer the instructor should be confidentially informed through email or in person, preferableat the beginning of the term, or prior to class.

University Policies

Honor CodeIn keeping with the principles of the BYU Honor Code, students are expected to be honest in all of theiracademic work. Academic honesty means, most fundamentally, that any work you present as your ownmust in fact be your own work and not that of another. Violations of this principle may result in a failinggrade in the course and additional disciplinary action by the university. Students are also expected toadhere to the Dress and Grooming Standards. Adherence demonstrates respect for yourself and othersand ensures an effective learning and working environment. It is the university's expectation, and everyinstructor's expectation in class, that each student will abide by all Honor Code standards. Please call theHonor Code Office at 422-2847 if you have questions about those standards.

Academic HonestyThe first injunction of the Honor Code is the call to "be honest." Students come to the university not only toimprove their minds, gain knowledge, and develop skills that will assist them in their life's work, but also tobuild character. "President David O. McKay taught that character is the highest aim of education" (The Aimsof a BYU Education, p.6). It is the purpose of the BYU Academic Honesty Policy to assist in fulfilling that aim.BYU students should seek to be totally honest in their dealings with others. They should complete theirown work and be evaluated based upon that work. They should avoid academic dishonesty andmisconduct in all its forms, including but not limited to plagiarism, fabrication or falsification, cheating, andother academic misconduct.

Devotional AttendanceBrigham Young University's devotional and forum assemblies are an important part of your BYUexperience. President Cecil O. Samuelson said, "We have special and enlightening series of devotional andforum assemblies...that will complement, supplement, and enrich what will also be a very productiveperiod in your classrooms, laboratories, and libraries. We look forward to being with you eachTuesday...and hope that you will regularly attend and bring your friends and associates with you...A largepart of what constitutes the unique 'BYU experience' is found in these gatherings where the Spirit has beeninvited and where we have the opportunity to discuss and consider things of ultimate worth andimportance that are not afforded to the academic community on almost any other campus" (from theaddress "The Legacy of Learning", 30 August, 2005). Your attendance at each forum and devotional isstrongly encouraged.

To do so isa violation of the Brigham Young University Honor Code.

PlagiarismIntentional plagiarism is a form of intellectual theft that violates widely recognized principles of academicintegrity as well as the Honor Code. Such plagiarism may subject the student to appropriate disciplinaryaction administered through the university Honor Code Office, in addition to academic sanctions that maybe applied by an instructor. Inadvertent plagiarism, which may not be a violation of the Honor Code, isnevertheless a form of intellectual carelessness that is unacceptable in the academic community.Plagiarism of any kind is completely contrary to the established practices of higher education where allmembers of the university are expected to acknowledge the original intellectual work of others that isincluded in their own work. In some cases, plagiarism may also involve violations of copyright law.Intentional Plagiarism-Intentional plagiarism is the deliberate act of representing the words, ideas, or dataof another as one's own without providing proper attribution to the author through quotation, reference,or footnote. Inadvertent Plagiarism-Inadvertent plagiarism involves the inappropriate, but non-deliberate,use of another's words, ideas, or data without proper attribution. Inadvertent plagiarism usually resultsfrom an ignorant failure to follow established rules for documenting sources or from simply not beingsufficiently careful in research and writing. Although not a violation of the Honor Code, inadvertentplagiarism is a form of academic misconduct for which an instructor can impose appropriate academicsanctions. Students who are in doubt as to whether they are providing proper attribution have theresponsibility to consult with their instructor and obtain guidance. Examples of plagiarism include: DirectPlagiarism-The verbatim copying of an original source without acknowledging the source. ParaphrasedPlagiarism-The paraphrasing, without acknowledgement, of ideas from another that the reader mightmistake for the author's own. Plagiarism Mosaic-The borrowing of words, ideas, or data from an originalsource and blending this original material with one's own without acknowledging the source. InsufficientAcknowledgement-The partial or incomplete attribution of words, ideas, or data from an original source.Plagiarism may occur with respect to unpublished as well as published material. Copying another student'swork and submitting it as one's own individual work without proper attribution is a serious form ofplagiarism.

Respectful Environment"Sadly, from time to time, we do hear reports of those who are at best insensitive and at worst insulting intheir comments to and about others... We hear derogatory and sometimes even defamatory commentsabout those with different political, athletic, or ethnic views or experiences. Such behavior is completelyout of place at BYU, and I enlist the aid of all to monitor carefully and, if necessary, correct any such thatmight occur here, however inadvertent or unintentional. "I worry particularly about demeaning commentsmade about the career or major choices of women or men either directly or about members of the BYUcommunity generally. We must remember that personal agency is a fundamental principle and that noneof us has the right or option to criticize the lawful choices of another." President Cecil O. Samuelson,Annual University Conference, August 24, 2010 "Occasionally, we ... hear reports that our female facultyfeel disrespected, especially by students, for choosing to work at BYU, even though each one has beenapproved by the BYU Board of Trustees. Brothers and sisters, these things ought not to be. Not here. Notat a university that shares a constitution with the School of the Prophets." Vice President John S. Tanner,Annual University Conference, August 24, 2010
