Literature and a MA in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) at USF. She is a current student in the MA Educational Technology
department and will become a doctoral student of Learning & Instruction in Fall 2019. Her research revolves around educational psychology,
educational technology and second language acquisition. She is fluent in several languages including Korean and Chinese. Over the past twenty
years she has lived and worked in four different countries and traveled around 80 cities in over 35 countries on five continents. Having lived in
different parts of the world and interacted with culturally diverse people has shaped her as an effective educator with a strong global communication
skill.
Sylvia (Chaiyeon) will manage all class logistics and preparation, including maintaining attendance and participation records, entering assignment
scores, as well as setting appointments between students and the professor. She also holds office hour by appointment, so please confirm with her
about meeting time and location before coming to the appointment. Sylvia (Chaiyeon) cannot give you a fresh lecture on the literary works we

and class differences, as reflected in literary works
Student with Disabilities:

Students with disabilities (including learning disabilities) who are interested in receiving services while at USF should contact Student Disability
Services (SDS) as soon as possible to initiate the intake and eligibility process. Students eligible for reasonable academic accommodations receive
an accommodation letter from SDS verifying the recommended classroom accommodations and the need for such accommodations. The letter is
presented to the instructor by the student. For more information, please visit http://www.usfca.edu/sds/ (http://www.usfca.edu/sds/)
Academic Honor Code:
For every assignment, an qj ` anop] j ` ej c of and ] ` danaj _a to USF standards of academic honesty is required. Study the Academic Honesty Policy at:
https://myusf.usfca.edu/academic-integrity/honor-code. Ignorance of the exact content of this Policy is unacceptable. Among the i ] j u elements of
academic honesty, note, for example, that all submitted work must be a new project for you and must be your ks j s kng. Small parts of your work
can borrow from other works so long as they are properly cited (in footnotes, endnotes, or in-text citations with an accompanying bibliography). Here,
a good rule of thumb is: when in doubt, cite (including yourself)! Academic dishonesty will be handled easily: ] j B cn] ` a ] j ` j kpebe_] pekj s ehh^a ceraj
pk pda @a] j тo kbbe_a* And, again, ignorance is no excuse.
