In all CSU academic courses, it is required that for each unit of credit, there is one hour of classroom instruction and a minimum of two hours of out-of-class work each week.
This means that for a 3-unit class, you complete at least six hours of homework every week, and for a 4-unit class, you complete at least eight hours of homework.
In all of the 4-unit ECS core required courses, the class sessions are only 3 hours with the 4 th hour consisting of online and field-based work. EDEC , , and all require extensive time in the field, and therefore they should not be taken during the same semester. If a student has a documented reason why two of these courses must be taken in the same semester, then field hours must be completed at separate sites. Field hours and field logs for both courses will also have to be completed separately and in full.
Because the ECS courses meet on a weekly schedule with frequent in-class activities, the department has adopted a policy on attendance. Students who are absent for more than three 3 face-to-face sessions in a course that meets once weekly will fail the course.
In cases of extenuating circumstances, the instructor can choose to waive this policy, as long as the reasons for the absence are verified with appropriate documentation and the instructor and student have together developed a plan to address the missed material. Be sure to contact your professor if you are close to the absence limit.
Since so much of the focus of the ECS coursework prepares students to develop relationships with children, families, and colleagues, the School of Education expects students to demonstrate professional behavior in all coursework, field experiences and campus activities. The ECS faculty will assess student behavior for correspondence with professional standards and School of Education expectations.
Faculty will consider student conduct in coursework, fieldwork, and campus activities and may also consider information from other higher education faculty, university staff, and field site personnel who have had direct contact with the student. Evidence for these assessments may include coursework, observations, and interviews.
See Section 4 on Field Placements in this handbook for further information about ethical and professional behavior specifically related to field placements.
