For Courses Granting Linfield Curriculum (LC) credit:

(Syllabi for all courses carrying an LC designation should contain the appropriate learning outcomes for that designation. Ideally, a given syllabus will also be explicit about the opportunities students will have to satisfy these learning outcomes in your course. Learning outcomes language can be found here.) remove statement before publishing

To satisfy the requirement for each Mode of Inquiry and the Upper-Division course, a student must demonstrate meeting the learning objectives of that mode by choosing an assignment, or collection of assignments, to post in an online repository. The choice of these exemplars must be supported with a paragraph description. These exemplars must be posted by the last day of finals of the semester the course is taken, as discussed in the Linfield University Course Catalog. For the case in which a course carries multiple LC designations, a student may initially choose to submit exemplars and support for multiple designations; however, the student must eventually select the designation for which the course is to count and submit exemplars and support from different courses for the other LC designations. Students may apply only one LC designation per course.

For example, if you are teaching a course carrying a QR designation, you might include the following: ^ remove statement before publishing

Creative Studies (CS)

Courses with this designation are dedicated to the study of theory and practice in music, theatre, literature, and the visual and plastic arts. They foreground creative theory, or creative practice, or integrate the two. These courses study the making of art and how meaning – sometimes tense or contradictory – rises out of the interaction between artists, artworks, and audiences. Thus, they ask students to inquire into the ambiguities, contradictions and tensions fundamental to art-making and its aesthetic effects. Art is a primary way that human beings reflect upon their experiences and perceptions. Therefore, these courses encourage students to value lifelong engagement with the arts. Creative Studies courses are designated CS in this catalog and each semester’s registration materials.

Student Learning Outcomes

In courses with CS designation, students will do the following:

Demonstrate an understanding of the media, genre, craft and presentation of art.

Articulate an understanding of the complexity of defining and interpreting art.

Examine the contexts and influences of art.

Practice the improvisational and technical processes of art.

Courses with CS designation address the first learning outcome. In addition, they address at least one of the remaining three.

University Policies and Information

Academic Integrity

This course adheres to the University policy on academic integrity, as published in the Linfield University Course Catalog - https://courseleaf.linfield.edu.

Linfield University operates under the assumption that all students are honest and ethical in the way they conduct their personal and scholastic lives. Academic work is evaluated on the assumption that the work presented is the student's own, unless designated otherwise. Anything less is unacceptable and is considered a violation of academic integrity. Furthermore, a breach of academic integrity will have concrete consequences that may include failing a particular course or even dismissal from the University.

Violations of academic integrity include but are not limited to the following:

Cheating: Using or attempting to use unauthorized sources, materials, information, or study aids in any submitted academic work.

Plagiarism: Submission of academic work that includes material copied or paraphrased from published or unpublished sources without proper documentation. This includes self‐plagiarism, the submission of work created by the student for another class unless he or she receives consent from both instructors.

Fabrication: Deliberate falsification or invention of any information, data, or citation in academic work.

Facilitating Academic Dishonesty: Knowingly helping or attempting to help another to violate the University's policy on academic integrity.

Faculty recognize their responsibility to help students understand academic integrity and how to conduct themselves with integrity in the classroom. To this end, faculty shall include a clear academic integrity policy within their syllabus.

In dealing with breaches of academic integrity, the instructor shall have discretion as to what penalty to impose regarding the course grade. Within ten days of the discovery of an offense, the instructor must submit in writing a description of the offense to both the student and the Dean of Students, or designee. This description should include the course consequences for violations of academic integrity and the penalty given in the specific case. If the student disagrees with the accusation of breach of academic integrity, the student will use the Academic Grievance process as outlined in the University Catalog section entitled Academic Grievances. In addition, it is recommended that faculty issue an academic alert for any violation of the academic integrity policy.

The Dean of Students, or designee, will maintain a confidential list of students who are reported for violations of academic integrity in order to track repeat offenses. The Dean will have discretion to refer a first-time offender to the University Hearing Board; however, any subsequent violations by the same student will automatically be referred to the University Hearing Board. This decision on referral will be communicated in writing to the student and to the instructor(s), who has (have) a legitimate educational interest.

The University Hearing Board may impose University‐level penalties upon the offending student. Fundamental fairness shall be in force for all academic integrity proceedings, as outlined in the Policies and Procedures of the University Hearing Board (see the current Student Policy Guide - https://inside.linfield.edu/policies/index.html).

COVID-19 Consideration

Students who are currently sick or who are on quarantine will communicate to Jeff Larson, Program Director of Learning Support Services (LSS), as early as possible to request temporary accommodation for their individual situation. LSS is located in Melrose Hall 020 (503-883-2562) or LSS@linfield.edu. Once notified by LSS for the need of accommodation, the instructor will determine the most appropriate way to stay current with class material and any missed work.

COVID-19: In Case of Local Outbreak:

In the event of disruption of normal classroom activities due to a coronavirus outbreak, information pertaining to the completion of this course will be communicated to all students. It is possible that the format for this course may be modified to enable completion of the course. In that event, you will be provided an addendum to the course syllabus by the instructor.

Diversity and Inclusion

Linfield University honors human rights and academic freedom, celebrates diverse cultures, fosters a climate of mutual respect, and promotes an inclusive environment that affirms the value of all persons. Visit Linfield’s Inclusion, Access, and Diversity page.

Electronic Recording

To facilitate learning for all students in the current climate around COVID-19, faculty may opt to record their classroom activities for instructional purposes.

Sexual Misconduct and Relationship Violence & Title IX

Linfield University faculty are committed to supporting students and fostering a campus environment free of sexual misconduct and relationship violence.

If a student chooses to disclose to a faculty or staff member an experience related to sexual misconduct, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking, all faculty and staff are obligated to report this disclosure to the Linfield Title IX Coordinator, Susan Hopp. Upon receipt of the report, the Title IX Coordinator will contact you to inform you of your rights and options and connect you with support services.
