There are no prerequisites, but you should be currently enrolled in SLP 302 or have already taken it in order to stay on track in your program. 7000 students should be in SLP 302, 304, and 405.
This is a required course and is reserved for speech-language pathology majors. Goals are to familiarize the students with the anatomy and physiology of the normal speech mechanism, possible deviations, and embryonic development. It is also an introduction to the neurological underpinnings of language comprehension and production. You will learn to identify the muscles, nerves, bones, gray and white matter involved in allowing us to hear, breathe, produce voice, articulate, and produce language. You will demonstrate introductory biological and neurological knowledge of basic human communication processes and swallowing.
It partially fulfills the following ASHA standards:
· Standard III-B - “demonstrate knowledge of basic human communication and swallowing processes, including their biological, neurological, acoustic, psychological, developmental, and linguistic and cultural bases. Basic Human Communication Processes:
o Biological
o Neurological
o Psychological”
Critical Skill Areas
Technology: ANGEL is used as a tool for this course. It allows you to view and print out assignments and PowerPoint lecture notes, to view grades, and to e-mail classmates and me. A short period of class time will be set aside for acquainting you with its attributes and functions.
The following will not be taught. You are expected to be able to use:
Writing Style: Speech-Language Pathology uses the American Psychological Association (APA) style. Become familiar with the Publication Manual, 6th edition which is available in the Reference area of the Butler Library. You will likely want to purchase a copy before you do your Master's Project as a graduate student. Butler Library has a quick guide to the 5th edition on the Butler Library website. Note that it is the 5th edition and is different from what the department asks for. See Speaking and Writing Tips.
Course Requirements
Attendance: Regular attendance and prompt arrival are required. You will miss out on assignments and oral directions on how to complete assignments if you are not present. If you are ill or cannot attend, look on ANGEL, ask a friend, or e-mail me.
Interruptions: Unless you are expecting an important call, for example, from a sick family member for whom you have primary responsibility, all cell phones and pagers should be off. Please let me know if you need to have the cell phone on. Texting during class is not considered good classroom etiquette.
Required:
Seikel, J. A., King, D. W., & Drumright, D. G. (2005). Anatomy and physiology for speech, language, and hearing, 3rd ed. Delmar. The older edition is acceptable.
Formative Assessments
For the topical bibliography, all five references must be current, that is, published within the last 10 years. Only one of the five can be a webpage source. Do not cite dictionaries, encyclopedias, or works of fiction. The topical bibliography must include the references you use for your topical essay.
To achieve a good grade the topical essay must have introductory, supporting, and conclusion paragraphs. It must include references that are cited using correct APA style. Spelling and grammar count.
Summative
Assessments
You are welcome to discuss grades during office hours. If an answer has been marked incorrect, but you believe it to be correct, bring written material to support the contention.
Missed exams/assignments: If you miss an examination or cannot hand in a large assignment because of ill health, e-mail or telephone me before the exam/due date, then obtain a physician’s note. If you miss an exam for any other reason, you will receive a 0. Late homework will not receive full credit, 1/2 a point for each day late.
I encourage editing fellow's/sister's drafts and sharing notes. However, unless specifically noted otherwise, all work handed in must be unique. Changing a few words or the word order is not sufficient to qualify as your own work. You may not hand in work from another course for credit in this course.
There are strict rules concerning authorship. When composing a narrative you must cite appropriately. If you use the same words as someone else, you must use quotation marks and cite the author’s name, the year of publication, and the page number. Failure to do so constitutes plagiarism.
Academic misconduct refers to plagiarism or cheating on examinations or assignments, and is inconsistent with the aims and goals of Buffalo State College. Specifically, students may neither use the work of another individual without proper acknowledgment nor perform work for another individual. Other examples of inappropriate academic conduct include prior acquisition or possession of an examination or submission of false data. As a result of a sustained allegation of academic misconduct, a low or failing grade for part or all of the coursework may be given to the student at the discretion of the instructor. No penalty for an alleged instance of academic misconduct may be imposed unless the student has been apprised of the allegation, the penalty, and the procedures of due process that are available (BSC Graduate Catalog, p. 28).
If you are charged with academic misconduct, you have the right to due process according to the rules of the college. The first step in this process is discussion with me.
All students are expected to comport themselves in a manner that conveys respect, tolerance, and civility. All members of the college community are expected to contribute to the college environment to move the college community in the direction of respect for all.
I will have removed from the classroom anyone who, in my opinion, is disrupting the educational process and may pursue formal charges against the student under the college judicial system, pursuant to BSC’s Procedure Regarding Disruptive Individuals.
Accommodations for Students with Disabilities
