Assessment of Student Learning:
To maintain quality academic offerings and to conform to accreditation requirements,
SLU-Madrid regularly assesses its teaching, services and programs for evidence of
student learning. For this purpose, SLU-Madrid keeps representative examples of
student work from all courses and programs on file, including assignments, papers,
exams, portfolios and results from student surveys, focus groups and reflective
exercises. Copies of your work for this course may be kept on file for institutional
3research, assessment and accreditation purposes. If you prefer SLU-Madrid not to retain
your work for this purpose, you must communicate this decision in writing to your
professor.
Special note on class trip:

READINGS
Throughout the semester, the instructor will provide readings in the form of empirical
articles that address issues discussed in class. Also, students will be required to research
and discuss empirical articles related to the topic in preparation for the final project.
Engagement & Attendance Policies:
In-person classes will not be offered in “dual-mode”. There will be no option to “zoom
in” if you cannot make it to class or an exam due to COVID-19 situations or
requirements. If you need to miss a class, please get in contact with me to see how you
can stay on track in our course.
Engagement: Students are expected to participate actively in course activities, and to
arrive and/or connect promptly to all meetings. Please refer to the section, “Grading
Rationale-Class Participation” for information about how your class participation will
be graded.
4Attendance: Students are expected to attend all required class meetings.
I will take attendance at the start of each class. Students are expected to attend class
regularly and to be in class before class starts. The student is responsible for all
announcements made (that I usually do at the beginning of the class) and for the
material covered in class. Please keep in mind that your class participation is important,
and if you do not come regularly, your grade for class participation will be affected
negatively. Late arrival to class is highly discouraged, since it is disruptive for the
class. Arriving 15 late or longer will count as an absence.
The attendance/engagement component of your grade will incorporate your engagement
and activities that you were able to complete in the classroom (i.e., comments,
questions, etc.).
Absences: You are allowed only 2 unexcused absences. More than two unexcused
absences will significantly lower your grade for class participation minus 5 points per
unexcused absence). If you missed class due to a special circumstance, please contact
me to discuss the issue.
How should a student report an absence? If you must miss class, please contact
your instructor or teaching assistant by e-mail to inform them of your absence.
Notification should be provided at least one hour before class, if possible.
Class participation: Based on how you contributed to class by offering ideas and asking
questions in class, and by your performance on different class activities and written
assignments. To receive an A you need to: regularly attend class (not more than two
unjustified excuses), and almost always participate in class (e.g., ask questions and
offer ideas, discuss and contribute with experiences and reflective thoughts, to listen
actively in class, and by completing all class activities and assignments). Earning a
grade B will be: often participated in class. Earning a grade C will be: sometimes
participated in class. Earning a grade D will be: almost never participated in class.
Earning a grade F will be: very rarely participated in class.
No use of cell phones, laptops, notebooks, or any other portable personal computer
during class time. You will need a special permission from Disability Office to be able
to use them during class.
Not participating in the required sessions or activities not only will this be reflected
negatively in your ability to achieve your learning objectives, but it will also be
reflected negatively in your overall Class Participation grade.
.
The course is divided into modules. Every week there will be different assignments and
activities that you will need to complete. All the material will be presented in a
sequential order.
Every week I will open a new module that will be available on canvas. I will announce
the corresponding activities or written assignments that you will need to complete and
when the module will close. The deadline listed for each module is the date in which
you should have completed the readings and activities for that module. All of the
activities will be done during face-to-face session, but if you could not be in class or if
5you did not have time to complete it you will need to complete it online and send it to
me by email. These different activities and assignments will count towards your
participation grade.
You are required to log into Canvas every week to complete all the different assigned
work for each module. All assignments and activities for each week should be
completed by the specific deadlines. All work and activities must be submitted
according to the instructions of the task.
.
Face Mask
Following SLU-Madrid campus protocols, face masks will be required in this class
unless a medical condition warrants an exemption from the face mask requirement.

student needs a change date/time of the final exam (due to an extraordinary
circumstance) you must contact the Academic Dean.
Class presentation: You will create a presentation (PowerPoint) within the field of
health psychology. For your presentation you must include an empirical research article
related to a health-promoting behavior. Each student for their project will need to
include the study’s aims, method, results, and implications. The goal is to search,
summarize, and reflect on how to reduce behavior risk factors and promote well-being;
this will stimulate critical thinking on a psychological theme. It will be important to
demonstrate an effective time management skill during your presentation.
A detailed description of the presentation requirements and grading rubric will be
provided.
Academic Honesty: Academic integrity is honest, truthful and responsible conduct in
all academic endeavors. The mission of Saint Louis University is “the pursuit of truth
for the greater glory of God and for the service of humanity.” Accordingly, all acts of
falsehood demean and compromise the corporate endeavors of teaching, research, health
care, and community service through which SLU fulfills its mission. The University
strives to prepare students for lives of personal and professional integrity, and therefore
regards all breaches of academic integrity as matters of serious concern.
The full University-level Academic Integrity Policy can be found on the Provost's
Office website. Additionally, SLU-Madrid has posted its academic integrity policy
online. As a member of the University community, you are expected to know and abide
by these policies, which detail definitions of violations, processes for reporting
violations, sanctions and appeals.
Your instructor will review these matters during the first weeks of the term. Please
direct questions about any facet of academic integrity to the instructor, the chair of the
department of your academic program or the Academic Dean of the Madrid Campus.
Diversity and Inclusion: Saint Louis University is committed to fostering a positive,
inclusive and welcoming learning and working environment. SLU-Madrid's policies
prohibit discrimination based on race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, sex,
gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, pregnancy, age,
disability, physical appearance, financial or socio-economic status, immigration status,
parental or marital status, veteran status or any other protected classification of
identity. Discrimination includes any form of unequal treatment such as denial of
opportunities, harassment, and violence. Sex-based violence includes rape, sexual
assault, unwanted touching, stalking, dating/interpersonal violence, and sexual
exploitation.
If you experience or witness any kind of discrimination, you are encouraged (but not
required) to report the incident to the SLU-Madrid's Department of Student Life,
7whose office is located in Padre Rubio Hall (marta.maruri@slu.edu; +34 915 54 58 58,
ext. 213. You can also report the incident to the University's Hotline (900-99-0011;
then enter 877-525-5669 when asked for the hotline number).
Please know that instructors have a responsibility to inform SLU-Madrid when made
aware of incidents of discrimination, harassment sexual misconduct, and/or related
retaliation, to ensure that individuals impacted receive information about options for
reporting and support resources. If you wish to speak to with someone confidentially
about any matter, confidential resources are available on campus and off campus:

Ignacio Hall (wellness-madrid@slu.edu; 915 54 58 58, ext. 230).

Community Standards webpages.
Disability Accommodations and Learning Resources: In recognition that people
learn in a variety of ways and that learning is influenced by multiple factors (e.g., prior
experience, study skills, learning disability), resources to support student success are
available on campus. Students who think they might benefit from these resources can
find out more about:
Course-level support (e.g., faculty member, departmental resources, etc.) by
asking or emailing your course instructor.
University-level support (e.g., tutoring/writing services, Disability Services) by
contacting the Academic Dean's Office (advising-madrid@slu.edu) or by
reviewing the Academic Resources website online.
Students with a documented disability who wish to request academic accommodations
must contact Disability Services to discuss accommodation requests and eligibility
requirements. Once successfully registered, the student also must notify the course
instructor that they wish to access accommodations in the course. Please contact
disabilityservices-madrid@slu.edu or +34 915 54 58 58, extension 242 or 249.
Confidentiality will be observed in all inquiries. Once approved, information about the
student’s eligibility for academic accommodations will be shared with course
instructors via email from Disability Services. Note: Students who do not have a
documented disability but who think they may have one are encouraged to contact
Disability Services.
For more information about academic accommodations, see the SLU-Madrid Disability
Services webpage.
Needs Security Statement: Students in personal or academic distress and/or who may
be specifically experiencing challenges such as securing food or difficulty navigating
campus resources, and who believe this may affect their performance in the course, are
encouraged to contact Marta Maruri, SLU-Madrid’s Director of Student Life
(marta.maruri@slu.edu or +34 915 54 58 58, ext. 213) for support. Furthermore, please
notify the instructor if you are comfortable in doing so, as this will enable them to assist
you with finding the resources you may need.
8Use of Posted Course Content: SLU-Madrid prohibits recording and transmission of
classroom lectures and discussions by students unless written permission from the class
instructor has been obtained and all students in the class as well as guest speakers have
been informed that audio/video recording may occur. Recordings, course materials, and
lecture notes may not be exchanged or distributed for commercial purposes, for
compensation, or for any other purpose other than study by students enrolled in the
class. Public distribution of such materials may constitute copyright infringement in
violation of Spanish law. Violation of this policy may subject a student to disciplinary
action in accordance with SLU-Madrid policies on Student Rights and Responsibilities
and Community Standards.
GDPR Norms Concerning Class Recordings: In accordance with General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR), we inform you that as a participant within this on-line
classroom, your image and voice may be recorded by Saint Louis University in Spain,
S.A., CIF A28654879, in 28003 Madrid (Spain), Avenida del Valle 34, for the sole
purpose of the instruction of the said class that you are registered in. This information
will be stored for the duration of the on-line class and erased thereafter by the professor
of the course. Should you not want your image or voice to be a part of this class
recording, please contact your professor to indicate that you will be turning your camera
and microphone off and be participating via chat.
In addition, we would like to inform you that all recordings will be available to you in
Canvas and are exclusively for the use of the participants of the said class and should
not be published on any other platform without the prior consent of all participants that
may appear in the recording.
According to the rights conferred by the current GDPR regulation, you may exercise

opposition to the processing of your personal data, as well as the consent given for the
treatment of it by directing your requests to the address indicated above or by sending

COURSE POLICIES:
If you absolutely must miss a class, it is your responsibility to get all
information and material covered from your fellow students. I highly
recommend that you make sure that you can get class notes from at least two
fellow students. If you miss class for an illness, you must a) notify the professor
as soon as physically possible b) make up any missed work.
Written assignments are due as specified. You will lose 10% of your score-per
day- in any graded assignment submitted late without a medical or legitimate
excuse.
Students who legitimately miss an exam, due to a doctor´s visit or family
emergency will be allowed to take a make-up exam. Exams that are missed
illegitimately result in a score of F. Grades for these students will be based on
the remaining exams. Missing more than one exam will result in an F final
grade. Only the following are acceptable reasons for being excused from taking
an exam at the schedule time:
1. Medical problem
2. Serious family emergency
3. University event (email from Student life is required)
Additional Required Reading: Additional materials may be added occasionally
throughout the semester. I will either provide these materials for you, pending
9copyright regulations, and/or will provide instructions as to how you can access
the materials on your own.
It is fundamental that you have access to the SLU Libraries and databases in
order to access scientific journal articles. In most cases, copyright laws do not
allow me to copy and post a full article on Canvas, so you will need to access
the readings through your SLU account or home university account. If you do
not know how to log in to the system using your SLU netID and password,
please speak with the librarians and they will show you how to do it.
