ABC General Studies Departmental Meeting
History, Science, Psychology, Introduction to Computers
Beginning Business: Ms. Giorgi-Jones made a motion to accept the meeting agenda and Ms. Love
seconded the motion. Mr. Henderson led us in prayer. Dr. Allen began by going over the agenda as
follows:
1. Attendance:
o #1 Instructors need to take attendance daily especially during the first 2 critical weeks of
school. Remember, there is no default system in place, and you must check “absent” or
“present” daily.
o #2 Attendance policy must be in your syllabus and followed by instructor. The policy is
(same as last semester) six absences or more (based upon a 3 hour course) and the
student is subject to being dropped from the course. Absences do not have to be
consecutive.
o #3 Call students after they have missed class for the second time. Students should be
given fair warning if they are missing too many classes & about to be dropped from your
class.
2. Roster/Enrollment/Census Date
o If student is not on the official roster that you receive from the registrar, he/she is not
enrolled in your class. Send them to the registrar to get enrolled.
o Check your roster and take roll every day until Census, Sept. 1st, as students are being
added and dropped daily.
o Census is due on Sept. 1st, by noon.
2. Syllabus
o Provide students with a hard copy of the syllabus and go over the syllabus with them in
class. Even if you have provided a copy of the syllabus on CAMS (which is a good idea to
leave it up all semester), it is imperative that a hard copy be given to the student.
o Students must sign the commitment sheet (last page) and provide the instructor with
correct and current contact information, i. e. cell phone and emergency email address.
o Syllabi/Office hours (10 req. for full time faculty) for Fall 2015, due Friday , August 14th
by 5PM to [email protected] and
[email protected]
3. Class Cancellations
o If you must cancel a class, do not just put a sign-in sheet out for your students to sign,
rather contact Dr. Allen (or a colleague) if you need a substitute teacher to meet your
class. Have an assignment ready for students to do.
4. CAMS
o Set-up your Gradebook on CAMS ASAP.
o
o
o
Don’t put assignments or homework on FB. Use CAMS as the primary source for all
assignments/homework/message board.
Submit grades on time or before time.
Students now have ABC email addresses: first name.last [email protected].
We should first contact our students using ABC addresses. All students should have
access to their emails. Student login: Letter “A” and last 6 digits of student ID.
Password is the word “Password” and the last four digits of their social security number.
5. Textbooks
o Remind students to pick-up their books at the book store. Better yet, schedule a time to
visit the bookstore with your students to pick-up their textbooks. Schedule your class
visit by calling Carneisha Howard, bookstore manager, at (501) 251-5254.
o Remember your students’ textbooks are already paid for, so there is no need for them
to search for books on Amazon, etc.
o If you want to change your textbook(s), send your recommendation to Dr. Allen with
title, publisher, ISB #, by Oct. 15th, 2015.
6. Assessment:
o Faculty Semester Goals (Dr. Allen will send form via emails) for Fall 2015, due by
Friday, Aug. 14h by 5PM.
o Coming Up Soon! The Assessment Committee will be evaluating Fall 2014 & Spring 2015
course objectives to see how instructors are doing in attaining their goals. Instructors
will be contacted in the near future by committee members for copies of course syllabi
and class work/activities.
7. ABC Security Numbers
o If problems escalate in your class and you need ABC Security here are important
numbers to put in your cell phone:
o Main number – 501-420-1211
o Cell – 501-786-7356
o Curtis Johnson – 501-772-2804
o Alternative : 911
8. Locked Offices :
o We need to make sure that all office doors are locked. Dr. Allen will contact Ms. Denise
to remind her staff to lock offices after cleaning. Also to make sure that the vent in the
Science Lab is checked.
9. Miscellaneous:
o Dr. Allen will research access to our ABC Faculty Handbook (hard copy or online).
o Dr. Allen and Science Colleagues have submitted a grant to Title III and HLC to expand
our science/math programs. This includes extensive improvements to our physical
science lab and/or the creation of a virtual science lab. She is especially proud of the
o
o
o
o
creation of the STEM Club which will be for 45 of ABC’s top-producing science,
computer and math students. She wants to take them to the National Science Center,
etc. Lots of excitement for these future endeavors. It was suggested that we might also
re-tool this grant and submit it to the National Science Foundation.
Dr. Allen likes emails, so all correspondence needs to go through ABC emails or
alternative if necessary since some instructor are having a problem accessing ABC
website from home. If instructors are having trouble accessing the ABC portal, contact
the HELP DESK.
Dr. Allen is making out the Spring and Summer 2016 schedules so please contact her if
you aren’t available to work a certain time/dates. These schedules are based on student
needs and she needs to know ahead of time who is available to teach.
Important dates were listed on the meeting agenda if you missed the meeting. Contact
Dr. Allen for that info.
Dr. Allen will be sending out Faculty Semester Goals forms which are due by Friday, Aug.
14th by 5PM.

Agenda
Call to Order
Prayer
Class Attendance – record attendance in CAMS. Please record daily in CAMS the first 2 weeks
of class (doing so will assist Financial Aid in making student refunds); and set-up your
gradebook in CAMS. If you not know how to setup your gradebook. I am more than happy to
assist. If a student is attending your classes and are not on the roll at Census, go see the registrar
about adding the student to your class. CAMS is our institution’s course management system. If
you are using a different means of technology resources (Facebook, Group Me, and so on),
please do not make this your only source for sending about information to your students. Use our
campus technology first. Students have been complaining about not having assess to different
media which caused the students to miss assignments and homework. Homework and all other
assignments are to be submitted only through CAMS.
We will follow the attendance policy as outlined in the syllabus: Students may be allowed as
many unexcused absences as hours a course meets weekly. For example, a three credit course
could allow for three unexcused absences. More than six total absences from a three credit
course may subject a student to being administratively withdrawn from the course. Do not hold
withdrawal forms until Mid-Terms. If you have exhausted every effort to contact the student,
withdraw him/her as soon as possible.
TEXTBOOKS – Please encourage your students to pick-up their textbooks from the bookstore.
All students will be charged a textbook fee. Students are required to use textbooks for all courses
taught at Arkansas Baptist College.
If you are planning to adopt a new textbook in the Spring. Please submit that information to me
by October 15. Also, I will be planning the schedule for Spring and Summer 2016 in the next
few weeks. Scheduling is based on the needs of the students. If you are unable to work at a
certain scheduled time, then let me know so that I may find coverage for classes.
Faculty may arrange to take classes to the Campus Store to pick up textbooks for classes.
Please check your email regularly. I will be sending many of my directives to you via email.
Assessment—Faculty members will be contacted by members of the General Studies assessment
team (Philis Taylor and Edmond Davis). They will be seeking assessment information for your
courses. They will also share the Assessment Matrix/Schedule at the next GS department
meeting.
Faculty Semester Goals (each faculty member must be complete the form) for Fall 2015; due
Friday, August 14, 2015.
