The Fine Print

Course Description: This course will cover the history of recent political revolutions, from the burst of turmoil in the semi-periphery during the first decades of the twentieth century, to the ferment in middle Eurasia today, and these movements’ legacies that shape today’s world. The class will address definitions and motivations, the processes of uprising, overthrow, and change, the stated ideologies of transformation and cultural reconfigurations which followed, and the global contexts from which revolutions emerged. Case studies include Mexico, Iran, Russia, China, Vietnam, Cuba, Nicaragua, Southern Africa, and the “Arab World.”

SMARTHINKING – CHC students now have access to Smarthinking, an online, synchronous, tutoring site. Students are encouraged to use this great service.   To log in, students should: • Go to http://my.chc.edu/ics • Be sure to disable pop-up blockers for Smarthinking. • Click on the Launch Smarthinking link on the Academics tab. • View the quick video here at the Youtube link http://youtu.be/wpvWfPhstQM and click on the Student Handbook (in the Academic Resources tab, after you've logged into your account) to help you learn how to use the service.

Student/Institution Relationship: A student’s enrollment at Chestnut Hill College is a voluntary decision that involves acceptance of the responsibility to meet academic requirements, adhere to policies and procedures and to act in ways consistent with the mission of the College and civil law. Conduct that threatens or endangers the health or safety of any person on college premises, verbal or written harassment, intentional obstruction or disruption of teaching, administration or other college activities may result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from the program. Students remain responsible for all tuition and fees.

Classroom Etiquette: Students are asked to be respectful of each other in this class and to be respectful of a professional learning environment. Anyone not adhering to this request will be asked to leave the class and will be marked absent for that particular evening.

• Be on time and prepared to work • Silence cell phones • Save text messages for breaks • Respect the contributions of others • Be open to new ideas • Resolve differences calmly

Children are not permitted in the classroom. If any student brings a child to class, that student and the child will be asked to leave class.

Class Attendance and Participation: Due to the accelerated format of this program, it is imperative that students attend all classes as scheduled. Class participation and discussion are key components in the examination of course material. Therefore, class attendance is a requirement. Whenever possible, absences should be discussed in advance with the instructor. Students are at risk of academic jeopardy if more than four hours of class are missed due to arriving late, leaving early or being absent. This may result in a full letter grade reduction or more and will be decided on an individual basis. In addition, students are responsible for all work that is assigned.  Late work is subject to a reduction in grade.

Students who fail to attend the first two classes in any session will NOT be allowed in the class, will be dropped and will be responsible for 40% of the tuition cost. Students enrolled in a hybrid or online course will be considered absent if they fail to log into Blackboard and/or my.chc.edu and submit assignments associated with the class session.

Should weather or other circumstances force the cancellation of classes, you can sign up for the College’s emergency notification service (text messaging) and familiarize yourself with the College’s Crisis Protocol. To receive a message sign up at http://www.chc.edu/emergency_notification_service/ or check the College’s phone 215.248.7009 and college homepage at www.chc.edu for any messages. Should class need to be cancelled due to illness or personal emergency, an email will be sent to the class with as much notice as possible. Please be sure to check your CHC email regularly. When class cancellation is unavoidable, make-up work will be assigned.

Academic Integrity: Academic integrity, which is essential to the mission of Chestnut Hill College, consists of responsibility and honesty in the fulfillment of academic duties and is vital to the Chestnut Hill College community of scholars. Academic integrity promotes trust, mutual respect, cooperation, and the advancement of learning. Cheating and plagiarism destroy the trust and mutual respect that are essential to a community of learning.  These behaviors violate the deepest convictions of the College community and are infractions of academic integrity. Plagiarism is defined as the submission of work (written work, art work, musical composition, oral presentation, software program, experimental design, etc.) that incorporates ideas from another individual (student, teacher, author, etc.) and presents these ideas as one’s own without adequate acknowledgement of the source.

Disability Policy: Chestnut Hill College does not discriminate against applicants for admissions or against students with regard to its educational programs. Consistent with federal, state, and local laws, especially Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the ADA of 1990 and the ADAAA of 2008, Chestnut Hill College provides reasonable accommodations to qualified students with disabilities. Disclosure of a disability is voluntary and confidential. To access services, student should contact the Disability Resource Center, http://www.chc.edu/Disability/, specifically the Director of the Disability Resource Center at 215-753-3655 or [email protected]. Upon receipts of appropriate documentation, the Disability Committee will make an individualized determination of the accommodations requested. The website for the Disability Resource Center outlines the procedure to be followed and will permit you to access the forms that need to be submitted as part of the request for reasonable accommodations.
