Presentation from Salesforce.org Higher Ed Summit 2018 by: Nadia Kaminski, Manager of Academic Success Coaches, and Laura Kite, Assistant Dean for Student Affairs, University of Wisconsin-Extension.
Student Information Systems (SIS) have been available for a number of years and have been deployed by colleges and universities as a means of managing the student lifecycle as defined by traditional higher education - essentially time-based activities (application, admission, registration, semester-based enrollment, graduation) based on an academic calendar. However, these SIS' tend not to work for a new model of higher education - Competency-Based Education (CBE) - where the student lifecycle is led by the student themselves. THE CBE model lends itself to a new way of thinking about SIS functionality - where subscription periods can be treated as sales opportunities - where the student advisor's task is to help the student purchase the best options that meet the expectations of the student’s academic path. With this new mindset the University of Wisconsin-Extension undertook a software implementation (the Student Engagement System - SES) that reconsidered the student lifecycle as a series of sales opportunities - and then established these opportunities into Salesforce - a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) enterprise platform. We believe that, while extending the Salesforce platform to achieve this mindset is not alone innovative, the re-engineering of business processes in the student life cycle as sales opportunities certainly is.

This document provides a brief overview of the lack of research on the development of religious beliefs in children within developmental psychology. It suggests two possible reasons for this: 1) religion may not be seen as theoretically interesting or socially relevant enough, and 2) religion is a taboo topic that psychologists avoid to not offend beliefs. The document then reviews the small amount of existing research, which suggests that beliefs in divine agents and mind-body dualism come naturally to young children. It argues more research is needed to better understand this aspect of cognitive development. The summary is in 3 sentences.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

COURSE POLICIES
Prerequisites
CMAT 240 with a grade of C or better.
Course Description
Comprehensive writing course that prepares students for print journalism and public relations careers.
Requires weekly writing assignments, many of which are under stringent deadlines.
CMAT 344 is an enhanced course in the Fulton curriculum, offered as a 4-credit class to engage students
more fully in the courses they take and provide students with a deeper and more active encounter with the
subject at hand. Besides in-class and online meeting/participation time, each credit hour requires 2—4
hours of out-of-class work per week (i.e., 4 credit hours = 8—16 hours of out-of-class work per week). In
addition, an enhanced course requires an additional 45 hours of out-of-class work per semester (i.e., 3
additional out-of-class work hours per week for the semester). This calculates to a total of 11—19 hours
of out-of-class work per week for a student in an enhanced course.
CMAT 344 is a web-enhanced course, i.e., scheduled class meetings are classroom-based and face-to-
face, but some of the course content and assignments, as well as required or optional activities, are online
and require basic proficiency with word processing software and online activities and an ability and
willingness to navigate and learn Internet-based, online modalities (e.g., content management systems,
social networks) or via mobile media apps (e.g., YouTube, EverNote).

with utilizing:
a) A reliable Internet connection
b) A laptop or desktop computer with an updated operating system
c) Basic competency with word precessing software, web browsers, online participation and content
management systems such as Wordpress, YouTube, making an uploading audio recordings,

Course Ethos
Intensive and regular in-class writing is expected and required. In-class writing projects are designed with
the goal of providing practice and building competency with specific journalistic and PR writing elements
through regular, intensive writing successfully managed and completed within a class deadline.
You will be required to deliver quality work implementing specific learning objectives while keeping
class deadlines and printing requirements in mind. While class writing is designed to help you learn the
day’s goals through writing practice and is thus graded to give you full credit for completing a quality
assignment before deadline, sloppy, incomplete, half-hearted, or disengaged effort will be penalized
through grade deductions.
Tight turnaround deadlines will not constitute an excuse for errors and incomplete work. I am available to
help answer your questions and assist as needed during class. All other talking, sharing resources,
reading, browsing the Internet, or doing any other class work during our class writing time is considered
unacceptable and will earn you a “zero” for that day.
I expect you will strive to cultivate a proactive, engaged approach to your education. This means that you
will take responsibility for your education through completing readings beforehand, participating in class
writing, and meeting with me as necessary to clarify content. It also means I will strive to provide each of
you with the materials, resources, and guidance necessary to achieve the course objectives.
3. Deadlines, Late Policy, and Make-Ups
Journalists and public relations professionals face demanding schedules and tight deadlines. The ability to
deliver quality output under these circumstances defines your professional credibility and reputation thus
will be a key component of the course. Late submissions are not accepted for credit unless prior approval
for emergencies has been obtained from me beforehand. Here are a few general guidelines:
⇒ Monitor your grades.
⇒ All grade assignments will be taken as final one class period after the graded assignment has been
entered on Grade book in My Classes.
⇒ Do not discuss grade-related matters at end of class or via email. Please stop by my office to do so.
⇒ Where allowed, late assignments will be assessed a late penalty downgrading it by a letter grade for
each class period it is late and will not be accepted after two class periods from the due date.
⇒ You are responsible for obtaining permissions (when allowed) or making up any missed work.
Attendance
Attendance at each class meeting is expected and important for successful completion of the course. ALL
grade assignments will be taken as final one week after grades have been posted on My Classes Learn.
No grade change requests will be permitted after this period. It is your responsibility to check My Classes
to make sure grades have been recorded. If you have a question about grades, you have 1 week after the
grade has been assigned to appeal. After 1 week, all assignments will be discarded and grades will be
taken as final. Please discuss with me in advance for any unique or special considerations that may impact
your participation. If you must have a doctor’s appointment during class time, I will need to receive
advance notice before the concerned class via email and see documentation during my office hours upon
your return to class. Where allowed, you are responsible for coordinating and submitting make-up work
with me within a week of your return to class in order to receive make-up credit. You should also monitor
your grade for recording of out-of-schedule pre-arranged make-up credit. Similarly, for university or
sports related responsibilities, please make arrangements with me in advance in order to receive credit for
missed class work. If an unforeseen issue necessitates prolonged absence (i.e., greater than two missed
weeks of class during the semester), evaluate your course standing and/or consider possible alternatives in
a timely manner. This is particularly important if you are a senior and this is your final semester.
IT Support Services
If you have any trouble with technology or access to the course learning website or the materials therein,
please contact IT at 410-677-5454 or at TETC 113 or at helpdesk@salisbury.edu.
In-Class Protocol and Professional Behavior
I reserve the right to take away your in-class participation points if you engage in disruptive, distracting,
or discourteous behavior that hampers our learning objectives, especially if these behaviors are repeated
despite gentle reminders. As we are in a lab environment, it is important to be aware of your
responsibility to use technology in our learning efforts ethically. In keeping the interests of those engaged
in learning, whispering, texting, using FB, Tweeting, or using other social media websites or completing
work on other class material will be treated as serious disruptions to a positive class environment. Do not
start packing your books or leaving until I have dismissed the class for the day. Leave your radios,
headphones, cell phones, and other recreational media at home. Do not read extraneous material, text,
browse ESPN or online shopping sites, or engage in any unrelated activity during lecture and in-class
writing work. As a microcosm of your future organizational career as journalists and/or PR
professionals, I will expect in-class writing to exemplify and be completed with the same attention
to quality, detail, professionalism, and standards as formal journalistic and PR assignments in real
work environments. If you are late, you will not be given the opportunity to make up any quizzes,
attendance points, instruction, or class writing time.
4. Email Policy and Communication
No in-class assignments or other submissions will be accepted via email or any other media. Approved
make-up assignments must be submitted with attached documentation. You are responsible for
monitoring your grade for make-up/late work. Any discrepancies should be brought to my attention
within a week of their submission for correction failing which your grade will be considered final.
If you need to reach me during out of class or office hours, please contact me via my Salisbury University
email (vxagarwal@salisbury.edu). In general, I will strive to respond to your email within 48 hours of
receipt (and by Monday, 5:00PM if sent over weekend).
All course related communication will be via email sent from my SU account or through My Classes.
Please monitor your email regularly for updates, information regarding readings and assignments,
comments, and course-related work.
Professional Ethics—Computer-and Technology Use
In the interest of creating a positive learning environment, here are two points pertaining to our class
computer use policy that you should be aware of before starting class: (1) during lecture, only a word
document should be open, should you choose to make lecture notes; (2) on days when an in-class exercise
will be conducted using the computer as a teaching tool, only windows directly pertaining to the class
content and exercise should be open.
*If you are not making lecture notes on your computer and we are not doing a class exercise that utilizes
computer resources, your computer screen will be BLACKENED and/or shut down.
*No other personal, mobile, or handheld devices are to be used in class. While I may choose not to
interrupt our class to call you out, I do make note of these as non-professional behavior at best and
distracting for your fellow class-mates at worst on your part, and it will influence your overall standing
and grade in my class negatively.
The Office of Student Disability Support Services (OSDSS)
OSDSS provides guidance, access to resources, and accommodations for students with documented
disabilities. Such disabilities could include: medical, psychiatric, and/or learning disabilities, and/or
mobility, visual, and/or hearing impairments. They can be reached at 410-677-6536.
Emergency Clause
In the event of a major campus emergency, course requirements, deadlines, and grading is subject to
changes that may be necessitated by a revised semester calendar. In such an event, the My Classes web
page and my email address will be ways to access revised information and assignment deadlines. You are
expected to meet the revised deadlines and changes that such developments necessitate.
Academic Integrity
The CMAT department expects you have read and understand SU’s policy on academic dishonesty as
described in the Student Policy on Academic Integrity in your SU Student Handbook
(www.salisbury.edu/Students/handbook/welcome.html) and thereby agree to honor these standards.
Academic dishonesty is subject to disciplinary action including separation from the university.
Office Hours
I will hold office hours on Monday between 11:30AM –2:00PM and on Tuesday/Thursday between
12:30PM—1:45PM p.m. Other hours may be arranged by appointment if and when needed.

I strive to enter your grades within a week of their submission. You are responsible for monitoring your
grade on My Classes. All grades are considered final after one week of being returned to class. You have
up to one week from the day grades are returned to you to bring any concern to my notice. Requests that
bring up grade-related concerns more than a week old will not be reviewed. The review process assumes
5. you accept the possibility the grades can be revised upward/downward upon review. I do not keep records
of in-class assignments more than a week after grades are made available.
In general, my grading is based on the following broad rule-of-thumb: “C” work meets the basic outlined
criteria, “B” work does a great job of meeting the outlined criteria, and “A” work not only does an
excellent job of meeting the outlined criteria, but also surpasses expectations to demonstrate innovative
applications of the content that go beyond the outlined criteria. “D” work does not meet one of the basic
criteria outlined for the assignment at an acceptable level, and “F” work is substandard and does not meet
basic expectations on two or more of the outlined criteria.
Course Requirements
Course work comprises the following assignments. Detailed assignment description will be provided at
appropriate points during the semester. In-class writing assignments expect you to utilize the class time
until the end of class fully to complete your assignment.
If you complete a first draft early, please use your time to revise and finalize your work. Any other
activity will result in a zero in your class points for the day. You have the last 10 min of class to print.
Use of printers is not permitted before that time. Please know journalistic and PR work improves with
constant revisions and is never perfect.
ASSIGNMENT OVERVIEW
The assignments are designed to help you gain competency and build a portfolio of journalistic and PR
writing samples. The assignments will require ability to demonstrate superior time management and

posted on the course Wordpress site for dissemination to a larger audience.
