(2007). An Integrated Approach to Theory and Clinical Practice, 2nd Edition (with CD-ROM). Boston: Allyn & Bacon.The NXT response card is mandatory: Must bring to class every day; ‘General student instructions’ to register your clicker on Blackboard and ‘NXT response card user guide’ are available from links on the web page at of *Praat acoustic analysis software to students’ computers will be required. Use instructions found on the website at . The topic sequence & text readings, related internet resources, and class Powerpoint files will be accessible on Blackboard Course Documents. The Powerpoint presentations used ‘live’ in class may vary slightly from those on Blackboard. Powerpoint presentations function only as an outline for class topics, so students are expected to fill in the details by taking notes in class, doing practice exercises, and responding to questions using the clicker. Links to Quia activities are available under external links on Blackboard. Quia flash card, matching and other activities will help students learn terminology and prepare for quizzes and exams.Catalog Description: Basic sciences underlying speech and hearing: physics of sound, the decibel, instrumentation, speech production, speech perception and audition.Course Outcomes: Students completing the course will demonstrate knowledge of the physics of sound and techniques of sound measurement (ASHA III-B, basic human communication processes)understand the physiological support and acoustic aspects of normal speech production and perception (ASHA III-B)demonstrate acoustic analysis of speech (ASHA III-B)Class Format: The teaching plan consists of lectures, demonstrations (live, video & audio), and group activities, with assigned readings as background. Acoustic analysis assignments will assist in application of coursework to instrumentation and measures used in clinical practice and research. Course requirements:Exams:There will be three non-cumulative section examinations given throughout the semester. Exams will include material presented both in the assigned readings and in class, with emphasis on material presented in class. The exams are each worth 15 % of your final grade. Exams will be in a combination multiple-choice and short-answer (list, explanation, description, calculation) question format.Quizzes:An online quiz over the section’s material will be due two class periods before each of the section exams (see dated syllabus). The online quizzes will be completed outside of class. The quizzes are meant to provide a preview of the topics that will appear on exams, allow each student to test her or his knowledge in preparation for exams, raise questions to be addressed in class, and allow instructor feedback both to individuals and to the class as a whole. The use of resources (notes, powerpoint slides, text, etc.) are encouraged to complete the online quizzes and 2 attempts at each quiz are possible. The online quizzes are to be completed individually by each student without collaboration from group members or other classmates. The average of the three quiz scores is worth 15 % of the course grade.Final: The final exam (worth 20%) will be comprehensive, with a format similar to that of the section exams. The final exam is scheduled for Monday, May 7, 2012 from 2:00-4:00 p.m. Please put the date on your calendar and plan accordingly. Group Work:At the beginning of the course, students will form groups of about 6. You will work with this group throughout the semester. Acoustic analysis exercises using the *Praat software will be assigned periodically (about 4 are planned). Guidelines and a deadline for each assignment will be posted on Blackboard, and assessment of the group assignments will be criterion-based. The group work grade is worth 10% of the final course grade.Participation/Attendance:?The attendance policy of the College of Arts & Sciences states: “To earn course credit in the College of Arts and Sciences, a student must attend at least 75% of all scheduled class meetings.? Any student who does not meet this minimal standard will automatically receive a grade of “F” in the course.? Any University-related activity necessitating an absence from class shall count as an absence when determining whether a student has attended the required 75% of class meetings. Furthermore, departments and individual faculty members may establish more stringent requirements regarding attendance, punctuality, and participation.”?NOTE: In this course, 11 absences (excused or unexcused) will result in failure of the course. Online attendance records will be on Blackboard.CSD Major – Attendance Policy: Students are expected to attend all classes. In the event you are unable to attend a class session, it is your responsibility to obtain (a) class notes and/or handouts from another student, and (b) any class administrative changes (e.g., changes in schedule).? You are also expected to take tests on time.? If you are ill, it is your responsibility to notify the instructor prior to the time of the test.? If you miss a test without prior approval from your instructor, you will be subject to receiving a zero for the test.? When returning from the illness, it is the student’s responsibility to take the makeup exam within 3 days or the student will automatically receive a zero for the test. Instructor expectations for attendance/participation/professionalism: I expect students to attend class every day and to participate actively and in a professional manner (sharing discussion points with the entire class instead of having side conversations, voicing questions, comments and opinions in a respectful way, and focusing on the information being presented whether it is presented by video, the instructor or guest speaker, or by classmates). Sending text messages during class is not allowed; cell phones should be turned off or silenced and put away out of sight. If it is necessary for you to receive a call during class time, please step outside the classroom to take the call. Repeated instances of unprofessional behavior will result in a deduction of point(s) from the final course grade.Please let me know if there are extraordinary circumstances that affect your ability to attend class or participate. I am happy to be flexible when I am given ADVANCED notice by the student in need of accommodations. Late work on assignments will be accepted and makeup exams scheduled only if an extension for the deadline has been arranged in advance. Announcements will be posted throughout the course on Blackboard and important deadlines will be marked on the Blackboard course calendar. Students are responsible for checking Blackboard frequently to keep up-to-date on class announcements. Do not expect to receive an in-class reminder about posted information!!! Resources for the class and grades also will be available through the Blackboard course.A seating chart will be used to assist with tracking attendance. Each student is responsible for signing her or his own name on the sign in sheet before leaving that day’s class. In addition, students will be responding to questions during most class sessions with the NXT response card (clicker). Records of responses for each student will be used to track participation, so it is essential that each student registers her or his clicker on Blackboard within the 1st 2 weeks of class, brings the clicker to class every day, and responds to every question. Ten per cent of the final course grade is based on student responses to questions in class. Arriving late, leaving class early or leaving during class is likely to result in a loss of points from the clicker participation grade. 3061335109220Grades are based on the following grading system:A 90 to 100B+ 87 to 89.99B 80 to 86.99C+ 77 to 79.99C 70 to 76.99...00Grades are based on the following grading system:A 90 to 100B+ 87 to 89.99B 80 to 86.99C+ 77 to 79.99C 70 to 76.99...Summary of Course Requirements:Exams 1-3 @ 15% each: 45 %Quiz Average: 15 % Final exam: 20%Group Work: 10 %Clicker Participation 10%The instructor reserves the right on rare occasions to adjust the grading scale where a student’s grade is on the border between two grade categories. Factors that will be considered in such cases are student attendance and professionalism, the student’s effort in learning the course material as shown by attentiveness and active participation in class, communication with the instructor outside of class, and/or student initiative in taking advantage of learning opportunities (e.g., use of Blackboard resources, quiz attempts, tutoring). In addition, how the final course grade represents the student’s individual work overall throughout the semester will be considered.Honor Code: Baylor’s Academic Integrity and Honor Code states that ‘Baylor University students, staff, and faculty shall act in academic matters with the utmost honesty and integrity.’? The full policy and procedures may be found at the following:? . Faculty members are required to report violations of the honor code even when the faculty member handles the matter on her own. Violations of the honor code in this course would include, but not be limited to, collaborating with other students (current or former) in completing the individual online quizzes, and misrepresenting attendance/participation records for yourself or someone else.Additional Requirements for Graduate Students will be noted on Blackboard.CSD 4358 SYLLABUS (Dates may change depending on the progression of the course)Day/DateTopic(s)Text Reading (also see topic outline in Blackboard)M Jan 9IntroductionsW Jan 11Course Description, Acoustics Chapter 2F Jan 13Acoustics: sound production, waveformsM Jan 16No Class (Baylor holiday)W Jan 18AcousticsF Jan 20Acoustics (NXT response card must be registered in Blackboard)M Jan 23Acoustics sound transmission/complex soundsW Jan 25Acoustics amplitude spectraF Jan 27Acoustics: M Jan 30Acoustics decibels & signal to noise ratioW Feb 1AcousticsF Feb 3Acoustics M Feb 6Acoustics (Quiz 1 completed by class time)W Feb 8Acoustics/Quiz ReviewF Feb 10Exam 1M Feb 13Acoustics: resonance, filtersW Feb 15AcousticsF Feb 17Speech Production OverviewCh. 8, p 167-188M Feb 20Speech Production OverviewW Feb 22RespirationChapter 4F Feb 24RespirationM Feb 27PhonationChapter 6W Feb 29PhonationF Mar 2PhonationCh. 3, p. 50-61M Mar 5Phonation/ReviewCh. 7, p. 156-157, 161-163W Mar 7Speech Production and Acoustics (spectrograms): vowelsCh. 8, p. 194-211F Mar 9 Vowel production/source-filter model (Quiz 2 completed by class time)M-F Mar 12-16No Class (Baylor spring break)M Mar 19Vowel production/quiz reviewW Mar 21Exam 2F Mar 23Vowel & diphthong production M Mar 26Resonant ConsonantsCh. 8 p. 187-194, p. 211-213W Mar 28Resonant Consonants F Mar 30Non Resonant ConsonantsCh. 8 p. 213-225M April 2Non Resonant ConsonantsW April 4Non Resonant Consonants F April 6No Class (Easter Holiday)M April 9No Class (Easter Holiday)W April 11Non Resonant ConsonantsF April 13Coarticulation/SuprasegmentalsCh. 8 p. 226-231M April 16Suprasegmentals /catch upW April 18Speech Perception (categorical perception/models)(Quiz 3 completed by class time)Ch. 14 p. 393-399F April 20Speech Perception/quiz reviewM April 23Exam 3W April 25Speech Perception: acoustic cuesCh.10, p. 261-273F April 27Speech Perception/reviewM May 7 Final Exam 2-4 p.m. ................
