Detailed Description of Major Assignments:
This course will utilize the following 5 items to determine students’ grades and proficiency of the learning
outcomes for the course.
1. Exams:
Four exams (400 points) (Midterm and Final exams, will be on university scheduled exam
days). In most instances, examinations consist of a mixture of multiple choice, true/ false, short
answer, and short essay items. The instructor, however, reserves the right to on the exam ask only
one type of question (for instance, an exam with only short essay items) or to provide a mixture of
questions that does not include this entire range of question types (for instance, an exam that has
multiple-choice and true false, but not short answer or short essay questions). It is most ill advised
to miss any of the exams!
*Make-ups will be given ONLY in instances of a documented emergency (e.g. death of someone
close, hospitalization of oneself or one’s child, or a spouse, surprise work audit, etc.). Expect such
tests to be more challenging than regularly scheduled exams. THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-UP
OF MISSEDEXAMS WITHOUT DOCUMENTATION OF A TRUE EMERGENCY OR
CRISIS. If you have a religious holiday, or are a student athlete with scheduling conflicts, please
contact me at the beginning of the semester (or as soon as you are aware of the conflict) to make
arrangements. The instructor reserves the right for other makeup examinations to be full essay and
be administered on a date of my choice. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE UP AN EXCUSE. These
policies will be enforced fairly and uniformly!
**Exams may be curved pending a question analysis, and bonus points may be given to help final
grades. These points are solely given at my discretion. Grades are FINAL once posted. I make
every effort to post exam scores in ecourses gradebook as soon as possible. The class will be
notified via E-mail when grades can be viewed. It is your responsibility to check your grade, and
read the email to ensure that you understand the grading scale. You are welcome to make an
appointment to review tests and grades or to visit during scheduled office hours.
2. Reaction Paper (one) - (100 points): This reaction paper is a (300-400 words) individual writing
exercise designed to evaluate students’ critical thinking skills. Each paper should consist of a
cover page, introductory paragraph, body, conclusion and a reference page. Late assignments
will not be accepted. All papers must be uploaded in E-Course before or on the due date. All
papers should be written using APA guidelines. Students who need help with writing should
utilize the writing center and the library. As a university requirement, reviews will be uploaded on
TASKSTREAM.
3. Group presentation – (100 points): This group presentation is designed to improve students’
communication skills (written and oral) and to enhance their knowledge of criminal justice issues.
Each group should have no more than five members.
Group will be formed the first week of class.
Each group is required to prepare a 20-30 minutes presentation that explores a criminal
justice issue.
Each group member is responsible for the overall quality of the work. The Facilitator will
assign each group a major topic. From that major topic, each group member will have to
select a subtopic that they will personally research and present in class on the assigned date.
4
Please note: YOU SHOULD NOT DO A POWER POINT PRESENTATION OVER THE
CHAPTER.
The final product of this assignment should be a compilation of work done by each
member. During the presentation, each presenter should reference two scholarly article
he/she used in the research. All presentation should include audio visual (preferably
made my group members) youtube video should be used to a limited extent (maximum
time five minutes).
The rubric for this assignment will be posted on E-course. Assignment must be uploaded in
(E-Course), and a hard copy presented to the teacher on the day of the presentation.

4. Service Learning – (100 points). This assignment is designed to improve and evaluate students’
social responsibilities towards crime prevention on a local and international level. Students will be
given a choice to attend a service-learning event prior to the close of the semester. The Prairie
View A&M University College of Juvenile Justice and Psychology provides various in house
learning opportunities for students. Additionally, the Office of Community and Service learning
may assist the student with finding any resources needed to complete this portion of the
coursework. The service learning coordinator for PVAMU is Mrs. Alisha Lowe-Scott, ext. 1360;
email [email protected].
For students to earn any grades for this assignment, proof of participation must be provided. All
5
paper work must be scanned and upload in E-courses and a hard copy submitted in class on the
due date. Scanning devices are located in the John B. Coleman library.
5. In Class Activities – (100 points): Class activities will include, quizzes, worksheets, daily group
activities, participation in class discussion, regular attendance - regular attendance means to be
present in class on time and stay until class is dismissed. If you are not in class when the roll is
called, you will be marked absent.
Course Procedures or Additional Instructor Policies
Taskstream
Taskstream is a tool that Prairie View A&M University uses for assessment purposes. One of your
assignments may be considered an "artifact,” an item of coursework that serves as evidence that course
objectives are met. More information will be provided during the semester, but for general information,
you can visit Taskstream via the link in eCourses.
NOTE: Syllabi subject to change with advance notice.
Tardiness and absenteeism are NOT encouraged a considerable amount of information will be covered
each week. Of course, classes will begin on time. If for some reason you will be absent from class during
the semester, YOU are responsible for materials covered in all classes that you missed. The instructor will
be available for clarification on lecture materials. Please see the latest version of the undergraduate
handbook for the university attendance policy.
Incompletes are rarely given. Please see the university handbook for the university policy on the
assignment of “Incomplete” grades. NOTE: Students who have a failing average in a course cannot
receive an incomplete grade. Academic Misconduct :( e.g. plagiarism, cheating) [see Student Handbook]
will not be tolerated! Anyone caught engaging in any such activities will receive a grade of “F” for the
course. Criminal Justice demands persons of impeccable integrity.
* If you encounter problems in meeting any of these requirements, do not hesitate to utilize my
office hours.
Submission of Assignments:
NOTE: If e-mail submissions of assignments are not acknowledged - do not assume that they were
received. All work submitted and presented should demonstrate thorough preparation, practice and sound
thought of a superior level. Such being the case, we should all learn from each other.
Formatting Documents:
Microsoft Word is the standard word processing tool used at PVAMU. If you are using other word
processors, be sure to use the “save as” tool and save the document in either the Microsoft Word, Rich-
Text, or the plain text format.
All document should be formatted using the APA guidelines.

Department Policy on Mobile Devices and Technology (Final)
It is imperative that instructors be afforded reasonable authority to manage the classroom-learning
environment. An important component of management of the classroom environment is control of topic
and pedagogical method. Empirical data shows that student use of mobile devices and other forms of
technology that are not approved by the instructor for the educational endeavor of interest serve as
distractors to student attention. When students attempt to divide their time between paying attention to
the classroom topic and/or pedagogical method used by the instructor and the use of a mobile device, the
student may miss important course content or details. Unsanctioned use of mobile devices or technology
by a student may also serve as a substantial distraction to other students enrolled in the course.
It is the policy of the Department of Justice Studies that during examinations no mobile device or other
form of technology be placed in the student's work area, visible by the student, or within an arm’s length
reach of the student. It is also the policy of the department that unsanctioned student use (use that is not
approved of by the instructor of record and/or is unrelated to classroom activities) of mobile devices
and/or other technological devices during classroom, activity (defined here as activity occurring during
the time that class is scheduled to meet) is strictly prohibited. It is within the scope of the instructor's
authority to, over the course of the semester, demands that mobile devices and/or other technological
devices be turned completely off and stored away. This is a broad policy statement. The instructor of
record may and is encouraged to further elaborate his or her own course-specific mobile device policies in
writing in the course syllabus.
Submission of Assignments:
Work is due as scheduled on the calendar below. All work submitted and presented should demonstrate
thorough preparation, practice and sound thought of a superior level. Avoid cut-paste (copying) from web
sites and other sources.
Attendance:
Absences, tardiness, and leaving the classroom before class is dismissed are hereby discouraged. Nobody
can take notes like you do, nobody can report on class issues and discussion like those present, hearing
about issues at a later day is “old news” and your payment for this class gives you the right to be in this
classroom.
If at any point during the semester you have to leave before class is dismissed let me know ahead of time.
Every professor appreciates being told (ahead of time) if any student will be leaving the classroom.
Tardiness, sleeping, talking, reading the paper, writing letters, etc. are not allowed during class time.
Class attendance will be kept. Absences, tardiness and leaving the classroom before class is dismissed are
hereby discouraged, since both can have a negative effect on your grades (no extra points: see Grading
section).
Attendance procedure: 1. Students will legibly sign their names on the roll sheet. 2. In signing up, the
honor system will be used. 3. You are not allowed to sign up a friend, even when asked by that friend. 4.
In cases where the honor system is not observed, the situation will be brought up to the Dean of Students
(in writing). I will ask the Dean to keep a copy of the letter in the files of all the students involved until
they graduate (Note: employers do check school records!).
Do not bring excuses for being absent. The only excuse absence I will hear is for missing a test and only
if there was an emergency (must have evidence of such an emergency: death announcement, prescribed
medication, etc.). I am assuming that if you are absent from this class it is because you have a very good
reason and you do not need my permission.
Please refer to the Undergraduate Catalog section on excused and unexcused absences.
7
Phones and the use other technology during class
All cellular phones must be turned-off (silenced) during class. Laptops should be used for class related
purposes (not to surf).
Class Format: This is a lecture-discussion course. Student attendance and class participation are
considered important (REQUIRED) in accomplishing the purpose and goals of this course. Students are
expected to have studied (be familiar) the assigned materials before coming to class. Feel free to ask
questions without disrupting the teaching learning process. Accomplishing this format requires that
students observe the above stated behavioral expectations at all times.
Civility in the Classroom
Students are expected to refrain from exhibiting disruptive, inappropriate, unhealthy behavior in the
classroom.
Formatting Documents:
Microsoft Word is the standard word processing tool used at PVAMU. If you are using other word
processors, be sure to use the “save as” tool and save the document in either the Microsoft Word, Rich-
Text, or plain text format.

John B. Coleman Library
The library and its partners have as their mission "to provide resources and instructional material in
support of the evolving curriculum, as a partner in Prairie View A&M University's mission of teaching,
research, and service" and to support the University's core values of "access and quality, diversity,
leadership, relevance, and social responsibility" through emphasis on ten key areas of service. It maintains
library collections and access both on campus, online, and through local agreements to further the
educational goals of students and faculty.
Center for Academic Support The Center for Academic Support (CAS) offers Tutoring via peer tutoring. The services include
workshops (i.e., Save My Semester, Recalculate Your Route), seminars (i.e., Tools You Can Use: TI-84),
group review sessions (i.e., College Algebra Topic Reviews, GRE Preparation), group study opportunities
(i.e., TSIA, HESI, Study Break, Exam Cram), and test-taking strategies (How to take Notes, Study
Buddy, 5 Day Study Guide). The Tutoring Center is a nationally certified tutoring program through the
National Tutoring Association. The peer tutors are trained and certified by the coordinator each semester.
Location: J.B. Coleman Library
COMPASS
The Center for the Oversight and Management of Personalized Academic Student Success (COMPASS)

University Rules and Procedures
Disability statement (See Student Handbook):
Students with disabilities, including learning disabilities, who wish to request accommodations in class
should register with the Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) early in the semester so that
appropriate arrangements may be made. In accordance with federal laws, a student requesting special
accommodations must provide documentation of their disability to the SSD coordinator.
Academic misconduct (See Student Handbook):
You are expected to practice academic honesty in every aspect of this course and all other courses. Make
sure you are familiar with your Student Handbook, especially the section on academic misconduct.
Students who engage in academic misconduct are subject to university disciplinary procedures.
Forms of academic dishonesty:
1. Cheating: deception in which a student misrepresents that he/she has mastered information on
an academic exercise that he/she has not mastered; giving or receiving aid unauthorized by the
instructor on assignments or examinations.
2. Academic misconduct: tampering with grades or taking part in obtaining or distributing any
part of a scheduled test.
11
3. Fabrication: use of invented information or falsified research.
4. Plagiarism: unacknowledged quotation and/or paraphrase of someone else’s words, ideas, or
data as one’s own in work submitted for credit. Failure to identify information or essays from
the Internet and submitting them as one’s own work also constitutes plagiarism.
Nonacademic misconduct (See Student Handbook)
The university respects the rights of instructors to teach and students to learn. Maintenance of these rights
requires campus conditions that do not impede their exercise. Campus behavior that interferes with either
(1) the instructor’s ability to conduct the class, (2) the inability of other students to profit from the
instructional program, or (3) campus behavior that interferes with the rights of others will not be tolerated.
An individual engaging in such disruptive behavior may be subject to disciplinary action. Such incidents
will be adjudicated by the Dean of Students under nonacademic procedures.
Sexual misconduct (See Student Handbook):
Sexual harassment of students and employers at Prairie View A&M University is unacceptable and will
not be tolerated. Any member of the university community violating this policy will be subject to
disciplinary action.
Attendance Policy
Prairie View A&M University requires regular class attendance. Excessive absences will result in
lowered grades. Excessive absenteeism, whether excused or unexcused, may result in a student’s course
grade being reduced or in assignment of a grade of “F”. Absences are accumulated beginning with the
first day of class.
Student Academic Appeals Process
Authority and responsibility for assigning grades to students rests with the faculty. However, in those
instances where students believe that miscommunication, errors, or unfairness of any kind may have
adversely affected the instructor's assessment of their academic performance, the student has a right to
appeal by the procedure listed in the Undergraduate Catalog and by doing so within thirty days of
receiving the grade or experiencing any other problematic academic event that prompted the complaint.
Disability statement (See Student Handbook):
Students with disabilities, including learning disabilities, who wish to request accommodations in class,
should register with the Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) early in the semester so that
appropriate arrangements may be made. In accordance with federal laws, a student requesting special
accommodations must provide documentation of their disability to the SSD coordinator.

Netiquette (online etiquette):
Students are expected to participate in all discussions and virtual classroom chats as directed. Students
are to be respectful and courteous to others on discussions boards. Foul or abusive language will not

Technical Support:
Students should go to https://mypassword.pvamu.edu/ if they have password issues. The page will
provide instructions for resetting passwords and contact information if login issues persist. For other
technical questions regarding eCourses, call the Office of Distance Learning at 936-261-3283
Communication Expectations and Standards:
Emails or discussion postings will receive a response from the instructor, usually in less than 48
hours. Urgent emails should be marked as such. Check regularly for responses.
Discussion Requirement:
Online courses often require minimal to no face-to-face meetings. However, conversations about the
readings, lectures, materials, and other aspects of the course can take place in a seminar fashion. This
will be accomplish by the use of the discussion board. The exact use of discussion will be determined
by the instructor.
It is strongly suggested that students type their discussion postings in a word processing application
and save it to their PC or a removable drive before posting to the discussion board. This is important
for two reasons: 1) If for some reason your discussion responses are lost in your online course, you
will have another copy; 2) Grammatical errors can be greatly minimized by the use of the spell-and-
grammar check functions in word processing applications. Once the post(s) have been typed and
corrected in the word processing application, it should be copied and pasted to the discussion board.
