| CLASS NEWSGROUPS |
Prepare your syllabus, overheads, note, programming assignments,
etc. as appropriate. Arrange for a news group for your class
with CNS (help@cc). These
are git.cc.class.xxxx where xxxx is the class number. Many instructors
post assignments to newsgroups rather than handing out hard copies.
Students also post questions to the news group which are answered
by the instructor, TA and other students. |
| PRINTING OF CLASSNOTES |
Coordinate with your administrative support person if you
plan to submit notes and overheads to the Tech Printing and Photographic
Center. PPC copies and sells the packets to the students. Your
administrative support person can help you resolve all copyright
problems before submitting to PPC. |
| OFFICE HOURS
Tempo |
Arrange for office hours during the quarter and give Student
Services and your administrative support person your schedule.
Try to allow time and flexibility for students with other classes
to visit without conflicts. |
TEXT BOOK ORDERS
Tempo |
Coordinate with Tempo
Tinch in Student Services concerning the text book that you
will be needing for your class. It is very important that this
be done in a timely fashion to insure that books are available
to the students at the start of the quarter. |
| CLASSROOM ASSIGNMENTS
Cathy |
Inform Cathy Dunnahoo
of any classroom requirements that you may have. This includes
whiteboards, overhead projectors, BARCO/Sony/ Videography displays,
etc., (most classrooms are equipped with overheads and chalk/white
boards). Classroom assignments are made by the GT Campus Planning
Office, but Cathy will place your requests.
Making changes to the originally scheduled times/rooms that
a class meets is not allowed.
|
| LAB FACILITIES |
Arrange for and ensure availability of computer labs and
facilities that your students may need. Be SURE to check that
any software for projects is already purchased, available and
installed. Cathy will schedule labs and David Leonard should
be contacted about instructors needs in order to coordinate with
OIT. You should verify that the software needed for labs is available
at least a month before the quarter begins. Student accounts
for CoC labs need to be requested from CNS (help@cc)
during the first week of classes. Students automatically have
accounts on the Hydra Systems and OIT clusters, including the
DEC station lab in the College. |
| GRADUATE TEACHING ASSISTANTS
Kurt |
Request a teaching assistant and/or grader as necessary.
This request should be placed with Kurt Eiselt, Asst. Dean of
Student Services. |
| ROLL DISTRIBUTION Tempo |
Obtain your initial class rolls in hardcopy form from Tempo.
Electronic class rolls are sent before classes begin by Barbara
Durham. Another copy is sent after Phase III registration. |
| REGISTRATION / DROP DEADLINES
Cathy |
Be aware of the add/drop deadlines, course overloads and
the last day for students to withdraw. Last day to add/drop is
usually within the first week of classes. The withdraw date is
typically the end of the fifth week. Instructors must pride students
with sufficient feedback (midterms, etc.) so students will be
able to make scheduling decisions by the drop date. The dates
are listed on the last page of the OSCAR. |
GRADUATING SENIOR
GRADES
Cathy |
Determine graduating students examination policies. Final
grades for graduating seniors are due the Thursday BEFORE normal
finals week (usually the last day of classes). The instructor
may choose to give early exams to graduating seniors, give extra
homework/project or just waive the exam. A final grade sheet
for graduating students is distributed to your mail bin the week
before finals. This is due by the end of the week to allow the
Registrar time to determine what students are/are not graduating,
final GPA, etc. Return the grade sheet to Cathy Dunnahoo. If
a student is listed as graduating, but may not be for reasons
other than failing your class, leave the grade BLANK. The name
will reappear on the general class grade sheet later. The student
can then take finals as normal. |
| DEADWEEK POLICY |
It is Georgia Tech policy NOT to give tests or quizzes during
the week before finals or finals week itself. Carefully consider
any exceptions to this policy. |
| GRADE SHEETS Cathy |
Final grade sheets are delivered early in finals week to
your mail box. These grades are due on the Friday of finals week.
Return the grade sheet to Cathy Dunnahoo. Incompletes must be
removed by the end of the following quarter or the "I"
is changed to an "F". Only excuses acceptable to the
Registrar's Office will be accepted (death, on-going illness,
psychological problems, etc.) See Cathy for Grade Change Forms. |
| FIRST PROGRAMS |
If you have programming projects, a quick first assignment
might be to have student simply log on, change an existing small
program (replace your name with theirs), then compile, link and
run the program. This will help locate any system problems and
students without accounts. |
CHEATING
Kurt |
If you have a cheating incident, see Kurt Eiselt, Asst. Dean
in Student Services. Do not attempt to handle this independently. |
COURSE OPINION SURVEYS
Tempo |
Course Opinion Surveys are surveys of teacher/class effectiveness.
The "write-in" portion is often very helpful in improving
both the effectiveness of the teaching style and course content.
They are given at a time specified by the professor sometime
during deadweek. Tempo Tinch, in Student Services, will contact
you when the times need to be set up. They are administered by
a staff member to ensure confidentiality. |
| CETL |
The Center for the Enhancement of Teaching & Learning (4-4474)
has a number of programs to help improve teaching deliver (e.g.:
"The Little Red Schoolhouse"). |

course and section, quarter, old grade, new grade, give reason
for grade change and sign.

IMPORTANT:
- Grade change forms are NEVER to be given to students.
- Reasons for a grade change must indicate circumstances beyond
the control of the student, such as "illness", "grading
error", etc. Unacceptable reasons: "student allowed
to makeup work", "student completed work", etc.
- A change of grade must be submitted by the end of the following
quarter in which the student is enrolled.
- A change of grade submitted after the following quarter must
have either :
- a memo from the Prof. explaining why the form is being submitted
(Prof. didn't submit on time), or,
- a petition to the faculty completed by the student explaining
why the form is late (the student didn't follow through in time).
