College of Education Conceptual Framework: The faculty in the College of Education at Mississippi State University are committed to assuring the success of students and graduates by providing superior learning opportunities that are continually improved as society, schools, and technology change. The organizing theme for the conceptual framework for the College of Education at Mississippi State University is educational professionals - dedicated to continual improvement of all students educational experiences. The beliefs that guide program development are as follows: 1. KNOWLEDGE - Educational professionals must have a deep understanding of the organizing concepts, processes, and attitudes that comprise their chosen disciplinary knowledge base, the pedagogical knowledge base, and the pedagogical content knowledge base. They must also know how to complement these knowledge bases with the appropriate use of technology. 2. COLLABORATION - Educational professionals must continually seek opportunities to work together, learn from one another, forge partnerships, and assume positions of responsibility. 3. REFLECTION - Educational professionals must be willing to assess their own strengths and weaknesses through reflection. They must also possess the skills, behaviors, and attitudes necessary to learn, change, and grow as life-long learners. 4. PRACTICE - Educational professionals must have a rich repertoire of research-based strategies for instruction, assessment, and the use of technologies. They must be able to focus that array of skills on promoting authentic learning by all students or clients, while exhibiting an appreciation and commitment to the value and role of diversity.

3 Honor Code: 2. Students will learn to construct basic PLC ladder logic programs. (Objectives 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) Mississippi State University has an approved Honor Code that applies to all students. The code is as follows: "As a Mississippi State University student I will conduct myself with honor and integrity at all times. I will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor will I accept the actions of those who do." Upon accepting admission to Mississippi State University, a student immediately assumes a commitment to uphold the Honor Code, to accept responsibility for learning, and to follow the philosophy and rules of the Honor Code. Students will be required to state their commitment on examinations, research papers, and other academic work. Ignorance of the rules does not exclude any member of the MSU community from the requirements or the processes of the Honor Code. For additional information please visit: Academic dishonesty (cheating) in any form will not be tolerated. Copying a classmates assignment or allowing a classmate to copy your assignment are both examples of cheating. Any student(s) found guilty of cheating will receive an F on the assignment and be reported to the department head. Technology: Lectures will be given via PowerPoint. All quizzes will be given through MyCourses. Basic programming will be done using Rockwell Software s RSLogix 500 software package. Students presentations at end of semester will be done using PowerPoint. Diversity: Cultural diversity will be addressed through group activities in this course. Disability: It is the policy of Mississippi State University that students, seeking accommodations from the University on the basis of a disability, identify themselves to the Office of Student Support Services. Students must provide appropriate documentation of their disability to Student Support Services to verify eligibility under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of Help is also available from Student Support Services ( 01 Montgomery Hall, ). Field Component: Tour a manufacturing facility and witness equipment controlled by PLC s. TKI 2113 Introduction to PLC Programming Revised Spring

4 Evaluation of Student Progress: The students will earn their grades by demonstrating learning through course work, writing assignments, presentations, and lab projects which will all contribute to the final grade as described below. Components of Final Course Grade: Exams: Three (3) regular examinations will be scheduled during the course. These exams will be averaged and will constitute 55% of the final grade. Exams will contain questions covering knowledge and understanding of the material, as well as explanation of this knowledge. Questions may be taken from the text, lecture materials, laboratory experiments, supplementary materials (handouts), and from instructor demonstrations. The format of the exams will vary according to the nature of the covered material. Students who will not be able to take an exam at a scheduled time are responsible for contacting the instructor and arranging to make up the exam, prior to that scheduled exam. If an exam is missed due to circumstances beyond the control of the student, it is the student s responsibility to contact the instructor at the first available opportunity. It will be up to the instructor to decide whether the exam can be taken and if it can be retaken, when. Proof of why you were not in attendance for the exam will be required, for example a doctor s excuse, court document, etc. Quizzes: Quizzes will be taken online using the mycourses website. Each quiz will be listed with a date showing when it will be available, and a due date telling you the latest it can be completed. You will be allowed to take each quiz two (2) times and your highest score will be the one that is recorded. Quizzes will not be reopened for any reason, so please do not send me an or call my office begging me to reopen a quiz because I will not do it. You will be given ample time to complete each quiz. It is the student s responsibility to check mycourses regularly to check for available quizzes. You will also be given pop quizzes in class. The number of pop quizzes given is to be determined by the instructor, but could be given every class meeting. These pop quizzes will cover material from previous lectures and/or material in your text that will be covered in the lecture that day. Pop quizzes cannot be made up. If you are not present when the pop was given you will receive a zero for that pop quiz grade. If you enter class during a pop quiz, you will be able to answer the questions you are present for, but the questions that were asked before your arrival will not be repeated. Your quiz average will constitute 45% of your final grade. Grading Summary: Exams (3) = 55% Quizzes/Assignments = 45% Total 100% Grades will be calculated on the following scale: A B C D 59 and lower F TKI 2113 Introduction to PLC Programming Revised Spring

5 I Grade Policy A grade of I (Incomplete) may be submitted in lieu of a final grade when the student, because of illness, death in his or her immediate family, or similar circumstances beyond his or her control, is unable to complete the course requirements or to take final examinations. A grade of I will not be submitted for reasons other than previously described. Except for circumstances noted above, an I grade will not be given to extend the semester so that a student may complete a required assignment(s). Undergraduate students who receive an I grade must complete all work within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the student s next enrollment. A student who receives an I grade may make up only that part of course work not completed because of the emergency. If a grade of I is not resolved into a passing grade within the allotted time, the grade becomes an F. Once a grade of I has been converted to an F because of the student s failure to complete the necessary coursework or a lapse of the allowable time, no additional grade change will be allowed except under extreme circumstance(s) as recommended by the deans and approved by the Vice President for Academic Affairs. For a copy of the full policy please go to Attendance Policy: Role will be taken at the beginning of each class meeting. If you are not present when the role is taken you will be counted absent. If a student misses more than three (3) classes, 10 points will be deducted from their final average. The only excusable absences are school related activities, military obligations, being called to jury duty, and any instructor approved reason. The instructor approved absence is to be decided by the instructor and should be approved in advance if at all possible. If a student does not have any absences during the entire course, they will receive 3 points added to their final average. Expected Behaviors: Students are expected to attend all classes on time with the materials needed for facilitating learning, such as a textbook (Yes you do need to buy a textbook), paper, pencils, and calculators. If you come to class without the required materials you will be asked to leave class and will be marked as absent. Students are expected to attend all labs on time with assignments and materials needed. Students who complete lab assignments early should contact the instructor for further instructions. Leaving lab early, without permission, will be counted as an absence. Students are expected to exhibit a proper regard for their personal safety, the safety of others, and for the lab equipment. Completion of this class requires the student to work with electrical and electronic equipment which, if mishandled, can result in injury or death. Any student who does not understand how to use any piece of equipment, or believes that a hazardous situation of any TKI 2113 Introduction to PLC Programming Revised Spring

6 kind exists should not attempt to use the equipment or allow others to do so. Instead, contact your instructor immediately and bring the situation to their attention. NOTICE: Any student who deliberately performs an unsafe act which could result in their injury, injury to others, or damage to MSU property will be dismissed from the class, receive an F as their final grade, and be reported to the proper authorities for further possible disciplinary action. Any student who repeatedly violates safety rules, the instructions of the instructor, or who by their general carelessness constitutes an unacceptable risk of injury to themselves and others, will be dismissed from the class and receive an F as their final grade. CELL PHONE POLICY Cell phones are to be turned OFF and put away at the start of class. Put away, in this case, means the phone should be placed into a book bag, purse, pocket, or some other object that keeps it from being seen by the student or the instructor. Each student will receive one (1) warning per semester to put away their phone. After the warning is given, 10 points will be deducted from the students final average for each time they are ask to put away their phone. All students should exhibit professional behavior in the classroom and lab. Smoking, chewing tobacco, dipping snuff, sleeping, mp3 players, pagers and profanity are not allowed in the classroom or lab. Canned or bottled soft drinks and snack foods are permitted in the classroom area during lecture as long as they do not interfere with instruction. Drinks are not to be carried into the lab area of the room or placed around the electronic equipment. If ANY trash is left in the classroom, these privileges will be revoked. Maintain all university facilities used by the class in a professional manner. All students are expected to follow the instructor s directions in using lab equipment. As a part of the completion of each lab experiment, it is expected of all students that all trash or waste produced in the classroom or lab is to be disposed of in a timely and appropriate manner. All tools and lab materials are to be properly stored after use, or returned to the instructor s designated place to return these items. All lab equipment is to be turned off after the end of the class period or when the lab work for that period is completed. If any lab equipment is left on following a lab, all students that were at that lab station will receive a 10 point penalty on that lab exercise. All students are expected to assist with the final cleaning of the lab at the end of the semester. NOTE: The information on this syllabus is subject to change. You will be notified of any changes.
