prior to commencing work on the paper). Only one or two students will be allowed to write on each drug – it is up to
the student to get permission early if you have individual interest in a particular drug (details below).
9. Library Research Paper 2 on any aspect of the history and development of drug control policy and law in the United
States (details below).

Your grades will be posted to the eLearning gradebook in percentage scores with a running average in the Total column.

Incomplete Grade Policy: As per university policy, incomplete grades will be granted only for work unavoidably missed
at the semester’s end and only if 70% of the course work has been completed. An incomplete grade must be resolved
within eight (8) weeks from the first day of the subsequent long semester. If the required work to complete the course and
to remove the incomplete grade is not submitted by the specified deadline, the incomplete grade is changed automatically
to a grade of F.

Examinations: There are three open-book examinations that will consist of 25-50 objective items each with a maximum
score of 100 points on each exam. Questions are taken from your textbook and the internet sites identified in the course
outline section of this syllabus. Your score will be posted in percentage scores in your gradebook with a maximum score
of 100% on each. You will be given a maximum of two hours to complete each exam. Please read and study the text and
required internet sites in detail before beginning the exams. The professor will manually curve the class scores depending
upon the highest grade made on each exam. The manual adjustments will be entered into your gradebook within one
week of the due date for each exam. The professor will be happy to discuss the test questions and/or your results with
you after the exam due date has passed. Each exam will be available to you at least five days before the due date.

Discussion Board Questions: Ten of the twenty discussion items on the discussion board must be answered with each
item worth 20 points for a cumulative score of 100 on each forum. Five of the discussion questions must be posted from
Forum 1 before you take Examination 2 and five more must be posted from Forum 2 by the due date in Section XV of this
syllabus. Discussion Board items may be posted early and this is highly encouraged to avoid last minute problems. Due
dates for the postings are detailed in the Course Calendar and Assignment Schedule in Section XV of the course
Syllabus. Questions not posted by the due dates will be reduced in grade 10 points per calendar day. Any questions not
received by the last day of regular class will receive a score of zero. Do not post your answers as an attached file.
2
Discussion question answers must be the student’s own original work and must be 250 words or longer and
each answer must be followed by the bibliographic information on two sources of information in addition to the
textbook. In other words, please treat each discussion question as a mini-paper with three references including your
textbook and two additional sources. Answers that are simply blocked and moved from any other site that are not the
original work of the student posting the answer will receive a grade of zero unless properly cited and the student will be
referred for disciplinary action by the university.

Responses: Students are also required to briefly and respectfully comment in five responses to other students’
discussion questions. There is no length requirement for the responses to other student answers. Your responses should
be based on the substantive content of their posting and must address the content of their answer. DO NOT criticize the
other student or make negative references about the student.

Attention to proper writing and correct spelling when posting the discussion questions and responses is expected and is a
part of the grade received for the assignment. Use proper grammar and spelling and do not use any type of abbreviations
not found in a commonly accepted, standardized English dictionary. All comments posted by students must be in
formal language with no intolerant, rude, abusive, or obscene language. Violations of this policy will be referred for
disciplinary action with the recommendation that the student be expelled from the class!

Introductions: Students should go to the discussion board and post a brief introduction about themselves during the first
week of class. Please do not post addresses or other personal contact information on the discussion board. Give a brief
summary about yourself including what year you are in, your major, and any future career goals if you have formulated
them.

Syllabus Quiz: All students are required to complete the syllabus quiz within the first week of class.

In addition to the above requirements, graduate students must complete the following:

Library Research Paper 1: Pick a drug or controlled substance of your choice. Get permission to proceed with that topic
from the professor via email. You may request such permission any time after 8 am on the first day of class and only one
or two students will be permitted to write on any one individual drug or controlled substance. Topics will be assigned in the
order in which the request is received by the professor. Proceed to write a six to ten page paper on the history and
development of that particular drug. Discuss the appearance, production, effects, and health risks of the drug. The paper
must state the classification by schedule of the drug. Paper must be in APA format, double spaced, in font 11 or 12, with
one inch margins. Must have six or more references with a minimum of three scholarly articles.

Library Research Paper 2: Write a five to eight page paper on the control measures and sanctions imposed for the
usage, sale, or possession of illegal drugs and controlled substances in the United States. You may wish to focus on any
of the particular federal Acts mentioned in your text or take a generalized approach to the changing methods of control
used over the last two hundred years. Paper must be in APA format, double spaced, in font 11 or 12, with one inch
margins. Must have six or more references. You may use the Texas Penal Code as one of them if you wish.

Netiquette: Please express all posted comments in formal English without street jargon or employment related jargon,
acronyms, or abbreviations that will not be understood by all students. Avoid being critical of your fellow classmates and
focus your responses to the content of what they posted. Do not make emotional outbursts on the discussion page and
always remember that anything you post will be retained exactly as you post it for a long time and can be referred to
exactly as you post it in the future. Some yes and no rules to follow in the course:

 Yes, you can email your professor as often as you like at elmer.polk@utdallas.edu or the course email box.
 Yes, you can critique postings in your responses in any way you like as long as it is not offensive and not
critical of another student personally.
 Yes, you can ask the professor any question you have
 Yes, every email is answered
 No, you should not use a lot of acronyms and jargon in your postings
 No, you should not try to use humor as it sometimes comes across online with unintended consequences.
 Remember that even if you are posting your comments in the privacy of your home, they will be viewed online
exactly as comments would be viewed in a live classroom and comment accordingly and with proper respect for
fellow students.

VII. Academic Integrity: It is the philosophy of The University of Texas at Dallas that each student is responsible for
following the Student Code of Conduct and students should read the Code in their Catalog pertaining to all aspects of
academic integrity, especially the provisions regarding plagiarism and academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty is a
completely unacceptable mode of conduct and will not be tolerated in any form. All persons involved in academic
dishonesty will be disciplined in accordance with University regulations and procedures. Discipline may include
suspension from the University or other resolutions as required by the University. Academic dishonesty includes but is not
limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion, the submission for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole or
in part to another person, taking an examination for another person, or any act designed to give unfair advantage to a
student.

VIII. University Drop Policy: It is the responsibility of the student to process the official drop and add forms. Faculty/staff
cannot drop students from class. Please be aware the professor cannot drop a student for never attending or missing too
many classes and can only assign grades based on the work submitted. For this reason it is important to your grade that
if, for any reason, you decide to not complete the course, to complete the appropriate paperwork to drop the class
officially or to withdraw from the university.

IX. Student Conduct & Discipline: The University of Texas System and The University of Texas at Dallas have rules
and regulations for the orderly and efficient conduct of their business. It is the responsibility of each student and each
student organization to be knowledgeable about the rules and regulations which govern student conduct and activities.
General information on student conduct and discipline is contained in the UTD publication, A to Z Guide, which is provided
to all registered students each academic year.

The University of Texas at Dallas administers student discipline within the procedures of recognized and established due
process. Procedures are defined and described in the Rules and Regulations, Board of Regents, The University of Texas
System, Part 1, Chapter VI, Section 3, and in Title V, Rules on Student Services and Activities of the university’s
Handbook of Operating Procedures. Copies of these rules and regulations are available to students in the Office of the
Dean of Students, where staff members are available to assist students in interpreting the rules and regulations (SU
1.602, 972/883-6391).

A student at the university neither loses the rights nor escapes the responsibilities of citizenship. He or she is expected to
obey federal, state, and local laws as well as the Regents’ Rules, university regulations, and administrative rules.
Students are subject to discipline for violating the standards of conduct whether such conduct takes place on or off
campus, or whether civil or criminal penalties are also imposed for such conduct.

X. E-Mail Policy: The University of Texas at Dallas recognizes the value and efficiency of communication between
faculty/staff and students through electronic mail. At the same time, email raises some issues concerning security and the
identity of each individual in an email exchange. The university encourages all official student email correspondence be
sent only to a student’s U.T. Dallas email address and that faculty and staff consider email from students official only if it
originates from a UTD student account. This allows the university to maintain a high degree of confidence in the identity of
all individual corresponding and the security of the transmitted information. UTD furnishes each student with a free email
account that is to be used in all communication with university personnel. The Department of Information Resources at
U.T. Dallas provides a method for students to have their U.T. Dallas mail forwarded to other accounts.

XI. Student Grievance Procedures: Procedures for student grievances are found in Title V, Rules on Student Services
and Activities, of the university’s Handbook of Operating Procedures.

In attempting to resolve any student grievance regarding grades, evaluations, or other fulfillments of academic
responsibility, it is the obligation of the student first to make a serious effort to resolve the matter with the instructor,
supervisor, administrator, or committee with whom the grievance originates (hereafter called “the respondent”). Individual
faculty members retain primary responsibility for assigning grades and evaluations. If the matter cannot be resolved at
that level, the grievance must be submitted in writing to the respondent with a copy to the respondent’s School Dean. If
the matter is not resolved by the written response provided by the respondent, the student may submit a written appeal to
the School Dean. If the grievance is not resolved by the School Dean’s decision, the student may make a written appeal
to the Dean of Graduate or Undergraduate Education, and the dean will appoint and convene an Academic Appeals
Panel. The decision of the Academic Appeals Panel is final. The results of the academic appeals process will be
distributed to all involved parties.

Copies of these rules and regulations are available to students in the Office of the Dean of Students, where staff members
are available to assist students in interpreting the rules and regulations.

XII. Disability Services: The goal of Disability Services is to provide students with disabilities educational opportunities
equal to those of their non-disabled peers. Disability Services is located in room 1.610 in the Student Union. Office hours
are Monday and Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.; Tuesday and Wednesday, 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; and Friday, 8:30
a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The contact information for the Office of Disability Services is:
The University of Texas at Dallas, SU 22, PO Box 830688, Richardson, Texas 75083-0688, (972) 883-2098 (voice or
TTY)

Essentially, the law requires that colleges and universities make those reasonable adjustments necessary to eliminate
discrimination on the basis of disability. For example, it may be necessary to remove classroom prohibitions against tape
recorders or animals (in the case of dog guides) for students who are blind. Occasionally an assignment requirement may
be substituted (for example, a research paper versus an oral presentation for a student who is hearing impaired). Classes
enrolled students with mobility impairments may have to be rescheduled in accessible facilities. The college or university
may need to provide special services such as registration, note-taking, or mobility assistance. It is the student’s
responsibility to notify his or her professors of the need for such an accommodation. Disability Services provides students
with letters to present to faculty members to verify that the student has a disability and needs accommodations.
Individuals requiring special accommodation should contact the professor after class or during office hours.

XIII. Religious Holy Days: The University of Texas at Dallas will excuse a student from class or other required activities
for the travel to and observance of a religious holy day for a religion whose places of worship are exempt from property
tax under Section 11.20, Tax Code, Texas Code Annotated. The student is encouraged to notify the instructor or activity
sponsor as soon as possible regarding the absence, preferably in advance of the assignment. The student, so excused,
will be allowed to take the exam or complete the assignment within a reasonable time after the absence: a period equal to
the length of the absence, up to a maximum of one week. A student who notifies the instructor and completes any missed
exam or assignment may not be penalized for the absence. A student who fails to complete the exam or assignment
within the prescribed period may receive a failing grade for that exam or assignment.
If a student or an instructor disagrees about the nature of the absence [i.e., for the purpose of observing a religious holy
day] or if there is similar disagreement about whether the student has been given a reasonable time to complete any
missed assignments or examinations, either the student or the instructor may request a ruling from the chief executive
officer of the institution, or his or her designee. The chief executive officer or designee must take into account the
legislative intent of TEC 51.911(b), and the student and instructor will abide by the decision of the chief executive officer
or designee.

XIV. Off-Campus Instruction and Course Activities: Off-campus, out-of-state, and foreign instruction and activities are
subject to state law and University policies and procedures regarding travel and risk-related activities. Information
regarding these rules and regulations may be found at the website address given below. Additional information is
available from the office of the school dean. (http://www.utdallas.edu/Business Affairs/Travel_Risk_Activities.htm)
