Pre-Semester
Meeting
All adjuncts are requested to participate in a “staff meeting” prior to the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. Building technology and voice mail will be given at this meeting.
Class Lists
Acquisition of Class Lists: Class lists will also be viewed online by doing the following:
1. Go to http://www.dmacc.edu.
2. Hover over the Human Resources bubble to evoke a drop down menu.
3. Click on the last menu item “Employee Web” for Web Info Systems.
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. Your login is your Social Security Number. Your password is your PIN number. If you did not receive a pin
number via regular mail, please contact Diana Carzoli at Ext. 2406.
5. Select Faculty Services on the Main Menu.
6. Select the “Term” and Submit
7. Select the “CRN” and Submit. *CRN means “Course Reference Number” – This number can be found next to the name and section identifier in the registration schedule. CRNs are specific to each term.
8. Select “Class List” and Submit.
If an instructor needs printed class lists, the instructor can come to Student Services, 108W, and ask for them to be printed.
Additions to Class: Students who add a class after this deadline need permission of the instructor to add the class, and instructors must sign and date an add slip for students to join the class. Instructors do not have to grant permission to a student to add their classes after the official “add class” cutoff date and time.
Faculty should check their official class roster to make sure that the student has followed through with officially registering in the course by turning in the add slip. If the student doesn’t appear on the official class roster, then the student should be directed to the Student Services Office, 108W, to complete the add process.
Students On Class List Who Never Show Up: If a student whose name appears on the class roster has never shown up, please report non-attendance on the ten-day mandatory report. [Note: If a student has shown up for one class period in the ten day reporting period, he/she should NOT be reported as non-attending.] This may be done viewing the Web Banner using the following instructions:
Web Instructions
for Reporting
Students

WEB HOURS
Sunday through Friday – 6:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M.
Saturday – 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.
REPPORTING OF NON-ATTENDANCE IS MANDATED BY FEDERAL STUDENT AID PROGRAM.
Students on Class List Who Stop Attending/Disappear without Contacting DMACC or Instructor. If a student who has attended at least one day of class stops attending without contacting the instructor or DMACC, please do the following:
On the progress report:
Mark QA and give the date of the last class attended (paper roster) or select QA if you are using Web Banner.
On the final grade report:
On the final grade report, mark the grade that student has earned in the course.
QA cannot be given as a final grade.
Incompletes: Incompletes are given at the discretion of the instructor. It would be a good idea to state your policy regarding the giving of incompletes in your syllabus. (For example, incompletes will be given only if there is an emergency after the drop date.)
1. Mark ”I” on the grade report on Web Banner.
2. Turn in an Incomplete Grade Form that includes the name of the course, CRN,
student ID, semester, and deadline of the remaining course work. This deadline may not exceed the date of midterm in the following semester.
3. If a student fails to complete the work, the instructor does a change of grade based on what the student’s present grade is in the course.
4. Students can petition for one extension of an incomplete. That extension is to the end of the same semester as the midterm deadline of the original incomplete.
Under-prepared Students: It might be the case that a student is not adequately prepared for a course that you are teaching. Please talk with that student and consult with our educational advisors to see if there is a lower level course that would better serve his/her needs at this point in time and/or what assistance this student can receive from the Academic Achievement Center or the online tutoring service entitled SMARTTHINKING.
Acquisition
of Course Textbooks
Books: When you are hired, Associate Provost Rick Dawson will generally get your class textbook(s) to you as soon as possible. Each semester the Bookstore Lead orders current texts and teaching materials for new adjuncts. If additional materials are needed, contact the Bookstore Lead, Marie Putzier at 633-2423, to order the material.
Course Packs: Course packs developed by instructors need to follow copyright guidelines:
Publishing companies have filed lawsuits against photocopying centers for copyright infringement that involve colleges and faculty members. Sometimes, instructors produce course packs for sale in the bookstore, but don’t seek the required copyright permission for the materials they have included. Faculty members need to know and follow copyright requirements to protect themselves. They also need to set a good example for their students.
Faculty members in the traditional classroom probably have the most freedom to use copyrighted materials in their teaching under the educational use exemption compared to online and video courses. “Fair use” permits the use of copyrighted works in the classroom without permission under limited circumstances. However, fair use is influenced by the effect on the potential market for the copyrighted work, purpose and character of the use, etc. Certainly, all spontaneity is lost when a teacher makes enough photocopies of a handout to last through several semesters of instruction or when developing course packs to sell in the Bookstore.
Check your campus library or one of many related Web sites for books and magazine articles on use of copyrighted materials in the classroom. The University of Texas has a good Web site at http://www.utsystem.edu/ogc/IntellectualProperty/index.htm/ Look for the link to copyright. This Web site discusses fair use, individual liability for infringement, using the four-factor fair use test, and the use of copyrighted works in course packs, distance learning, music, and more.
A briefer overview of copyright issues may be found at the Web site http://www.benedict.com/home.htm/ Click on the link “Info” for the basics of copyright law.
Syllabus Construction,
Course Competencies, Distribution & Record of Syllabus
Syllabus Construction: The Academic Standards Commission has approved the DMACC On-line Syllabus template. The link to the template can be found at http://www.dmacc.edu/west/documentation.asp and it provides the instructions to accessing and using the On-line Syllabus template.
Please include the following on each syllabus:
It is the policy of DMACC to accommodate students with disabilities. Any student with a documented disability who requires reasonable accommodation should contact the special needs coordinator at (515) 964-6850 voice or (515) 964-6810 TTY.
Course Competencies: Accessing and Printing Course Competencies:
1. Double click on the arrow pointing to the “Outline Course Competencies.”
A list with the various departments appears. Select the department you need from the list on the right by double-clicking on the name (i.e., BIOL).
2. Select the Course Number of the file you want to print out (i.e., BIOL 118),
and double click on the Course Number.
3. The Adobe Acrobat Program will open and display the list of competencies.
Click on the icon for the printer to print the list of competencies for the selected course.
Distributing Syllabus: Syllabi and course competencies need to be distributed to students during the first class period. Students who are enrolled, but are not there for the first class session or students who enroll during the official add period should be given a syllabus as quickly as possible.
Record of Syllabus: Please submit copies of your syllabi to Student Services the first week of classes.
