Consult your Program Director for practices specific to your Program. Feel free to consult the site  HYPERLINK "https://blackboard.wm.edu/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp?tab_tab_group_id=_2_1&url=%2Fwebapps%2Fblackboard%2Fexecute%2Flauncher%3Ftype%3DCourse%26id%3D_3780_1%26url%3D" \t "_top" Resources for Teaching and Research in MLL on Blackboard; and the Teaching subfolder on the (nominal) MLL faculty blog folder on WMbox for examples of syllabi, grading rubrics, writing practices, policies on TAs and graders, etc. Practices for Teaching: Aim to use the target language as much as possible in class, unless the nature of the course presupposes the use of English. In order to resist grade inflation: aim for no more than 30-40% of the grades to be in the A & A- range. This is calculated as an average of all your classes over a 3-year period. aim to keep participation to 10% - 15% of the total class grade aim to keep ungraded assignments (graded done or not done) to a maximum of 5-10% of the total class grade Participation: it may be helpful to keep in mind the following Have a rubric for grading participation Provide feedback to students Discuss the meaning of and expectations for participation in class Create assignments and opportunities for students to participate Provide more than one way for students to participate Participation can include activities outside class: film screenings, language house, etc. Attendance policies. Have a clearly stated attendance policy on your syllabus. Failure to attend more than a specified number of classes can be factored into the final course grade, provided you state this on your syllabus. Do not let students take or audit a course for which they do not have the required prerequisites. This practice serves the students in two ways: (a) by ensuring that they dont register for courses beyond their abilities, and (b) it respects the other students in class who have completed the approved course prerequisites. Prepare in-class activities that encourage full participation. Aim to return assignments within a two-week time frame. Have a variety of methods of evaluating students. Have grading rubrics for assignments (papers, presentations, etc). Design your syllabus so you are able to return some graded assignments to students before the withdrawal deadline. Do not use the same final exam year to year. Add in new material to discourage cheating. Proctor your exams. New MLL Best Practices for Gender Neutral Language Do not read names from the Banner roster, but let students give their names and pronouns. Communicate to students that there are differences in the names listed between Banner, Blackboard, Outlook etc. and it can be confusing for all. Consider asking students to fill out questionnaire with information they think might be relevant for the instructor to know, including pronouns and Banner name. Faculty should strive to use the name and pronoun requested by the student, should apologize if a mistake occurs and should refrain from asking students to explain their choices. Whenever possible, the faculty member should model gender-neutral language. E.g., when addressing the whole class, use gender-neutral terms: People, Folks, Everyone, ... When out-of-date terms appear in assigned texts, faculty should recast and remodel appropriate language. Addressing different gender ideologies and how they are reflected in different languages presents an opportunity for learning. Each program, and every faculty member, should take it upon themselves to become familiar with current gender-neutral usage in their language. Material for syllabi: Model Language on the Honor Code: [N.B.: The Dean of Students periodically updates this language and will send out reminders in the Digest at the beginning of the AY. For the latest, lengthy update, please check the link Sample Syllabus Language regarding the Honor Code available here:  HYPERLINK "/offices/deanofstudents/services/communityvalues/facultyresources/" /offices/deanofstudents/services/communityvalues/facultyresources/] Translation Software: The use of translation software is not allowed in this class unless given prior approval of the instructor. For placement in 101-202 language classes: See  HYPERLINK "/as/modernlanguages/undergraduate/placement/index.php" /as/modernlanguages/undergraduate/placement/index.php Student Accessibility Services: [N.B.: SAS periodically updates this language and will send out reminders in the Digest at the beginning of the AY. The following is the latest version available:] 91Ƭ accommodates students with disabilities in accordance with federal laws and university policy. Any student who feels they may need an accommodation based on the impact of a learning, psychiatric, physical, or chronic health diagnosis should contact Student Accessibility Services staff at 757-221-2512 or at  HYPERLINK "mailto:sas@wm.edu" sas@wm.edu to determine if accommodations are warranted and to obtain an official letter of accommodation. For more information, please see  HYPERLINK "http://www.wm.edu/sas" www.wm.edu/sas Statement on summer language classes: [approved by MLL in Spring 2021] In summer sessions we necessarily condense one semester of more than sixty days into only twenty-four; this is nearly three times the rate of language courses in the regular fall/spring semesters. The schedule of this course cannot be altered, and flexible deadlines cannot be accommodated within this format, so some students may wish to consider taking this course in the usual course sequence rather than in the summer. Land and Slavery Acknowledgment: [In fall 2021, W&M approved the following language,  HYPERLINK "/as/anthropology/research/centers/airc/land-acknowledgement/index.php" /as/anthropology/research/centers/airc/land-acknowledgement/index.php:] 91Ƭ acknowledges the Indigenous peoples who are the original inhabitants of the lands our campus is on today the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway), Chickahominy, Eastern Chickahominy, Mattaponi, Monacan, Nansemond, Nottoway, Pamunkey, Patawomeck, Upper Mattaponi, and Rappahannock tribes and pay our respect to their tribal members past and present. [MLL adds the following statement on slavery, approved by the department in Spring 2020:] 91Ƭ acknowledges that it owned and exploited slave labor from its founding to the Civil War; and that it had failed to take a stand against segregation during the Jim Crow Era. ***      PAGE   PAGE 1  !/0123@AHIJKL  * 1 2 3 A L Q R S ùïâ|ttldld\Qjh+\@h+\@Uh+\@B*phht2B*phhYB*phh(B*phhq,B*phhlB*phhch@(B*phhch~|B*phhch~|5B*phh85B*phh5B*phhq,hq,5B*phh~|5B*CJaJph hch~|5B*CJaJph hch@(5B*CJaJph!0JKL   I 3 [ x  & Fgd+Y & Fgd"?` & FgdY[ & Fgd[ & Fgd^gdl & Fgdl$a$gd~| $h^ha$gd~|S    ) : ; = @ J K L M S T U ] ^ _ b h p q z {    4 ƾƫ|hlh@(B*phhlhlB*phhq,h)l5>*B*phhch)lB*phhch~|B*phho$cB*phhB*phhYB*phh(B*phht2B*phh+\@B*phh(h+\@jh+\@h+\@U h+\@h+\@/4 5 H Q u   ; < H I f i j k t øyncXcnnh~9h"?`B*phh~9hY[B*phh~9h[B*phhB*phh~9h6fB*phh~9hW8B*phh~9hB*phh~9h~|B*phhh[B*phhch[B*phhch~|B*phh~|B*phhlB*phhlh@(B*phhlhlB*phhlh~|B*ph  $ 3 [ t x 12t*lno˸wwwwlahchuB*phh3qhlB*phh3qh *\:'()*qrstuv  *89:;A#A~#,-.89@NOPQ_`abclnżյhZ+hZ5\ hu5\hF8hu0JjhuUhq,h7huhuhu5\h9hZhc|h0JjhUhC:;abPQrh !!%"""""""""""""gdq,gdZ+$a$gdugd%gd gdugdZ*DOW[bklu+DNOPQpqr ڵڪ||jh%Uh% h%h%h%hZ+5\h%hZ5\ huh hpqh B*ph h~!B*fHphq &hpqhP B*fHphq &hpqh B*fHphq ht2 ht2ht2 h 5\.
