URBP 178/256 & ENVI 178 - Transportation Planning - Local Issues

Course overview and objectives

This course introduces students to key transportation planning issues dealt with at the municipal level, including residential street design, coordination of land-use and transportation planning, transit planning, approaches to addressing traffic congestion, and parking policy.

As students learn about these different transportation planning topics, the course will also teach a number of key skills critical to any transportation planner.  By the end of the semester, students who successfully complete the course will learn to:

• Explain the connections between travel behavior and urban form as defined by density, diversity, and design.
   

• Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of  local transportation planning tools and policies. In particular, students will learn introductory-level strategies to apply five key evaluation metrics for transportation plans and policies:

1. Do they improve accessibility for all modes (e.g., private vehicles, transit vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists)?

2. Do they improve accessibility for all population groups?

3. Do they improve local quality of life (beyond providing accessibility benefits)?

4. Do they reduce impacts of the transportation system on the natural environment?

5. Do they equitably distribute the costs and/or benefits of the transportation system?

• Evaluate the effectiveness of transportation plans and policy tools by finding reliable research and data and using the information to assess the likely outcomes of those plans or policy tools.

Office hours

I welcome students to come talk to me often during office hours, whether about a specific question or merely to chat about ideas relating to the course or your general studies at SJSU.

While I make every effort to attend all office hours, occasionally I might be unavailable due to illness or an emergency.  Before coming to see me, I suggest that you call or email to confirm that I will be available.

If you wish to speak to me but are unable during my office hours, ask to arrange an alternate time to meet in person or speak on the phone.

Course texts

1. Weekly readings

Readings for the course will be available on-line either on the web or through the SJSU library's electronic course reserves system.  If you need help accessing the electronic reserves, the process is explained at the library's "Electronic Reserves Help" page.

I will also hand out a small number of additional articles in class.  If you miss class, be sure to check with another student to borrow any handouts you may have missed.

2. Style book

Turabian, Kate. A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses and Dissertations, 7th ed. Chicago, University of Chicago Press, 2007.

This book is available for purchase at the campus bookstore, as well as at many bookstores around the Bay Area and on-line.  Be sure to buy the correct edition.

Course assignments

Students are expected to attend all class sessions, complete assigned readings, and complete these written assignments:

Attending lectures

Weekly memo assignments

For most of the class sessions, there will be an associated memo assignment. The memos will help you to better understand the issues covered in the readings and prepare you for productive in-class discussions.

Memo formatting requirements:

• The memos must be typed unless the directions specify otherwise.
   
• The memos should fully cite all quotations, statistics, or other material that you learn from reading other sources, whether these be course readings or materials that you identify on your own.  Use Turabian-style footnotes and a bibliography to cite your sources.

Due dates and grading policies:

• Due dates: These memos, which are designed to prepare you for the day's class, must be turned in at the beginning of the class session for which they are due. You may turn in a memo by email, before the class when it is due, if you are absent for a documented illness or family emergency. I give half credit to memos turned in late for any reason whatsoever, including malfunctioning computers, illness, or hungry goats that munch on memos.
   
• Grading: I will not assign the memos a letter grade, but I will read them and record whether or not you turn them in and their general quality (check+, check, or check -). If you receive an average grade of a check and turn in all the memos, you will receive a �B+� for your memo grade.  Each check+ will raise your memo grade by one-third of a grade (i.e., from a B+ to an A-), and each check- will lower your memo grade by one-third of a grade.
   
• Missed memos. You may miss one memo over the semester, in case you become ill, busy with work or other classes, have a family emergency, or just don't feel like writing the memo one week. For every additional memo you miss, your course memo grade will drop one letter grade (i.e., from an A to a B).

SJSU policy on academic integrity

SJSU's Policy on Academic Integrity states:

Students should know that the University�s Academic Integrity Policy is available at www.sa.sjsu.edu/download/judicial_affairs/Academic_Integrity_Policy_S07-2.pdf. Your own commitment to learning, as evidenced by your enrollment at San Jose State University and the University�s integrity policy, require you to be honest in all your academic course work. Faculty members are required to report all infractions to the office of Student Conduct and Ethical Development. The website for Student Conduct and Ethical Development is available at www.sa.sjsu.edu/judicial_affairs/index.html.

Instances of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Cheating on exams or plagiarism (presenting the work of another as your own, or the use of another person�s ideas without giving proper credit) will result in a failing grade and sanctions by the University. For this class, all assignments are to be completed by the individual student unless otherwise specified. If you would like to include in your assignment any material you have submitted, or plan to submit for another class, please note that SJSU�s Academic Policy F06-1 requires approval of instructors.

Citing sources and avoiding plagiarism

Plagiarism is the use of someone else�s language, images, data, or ideas without proper attribution. It is a very serious offense both in the university and in your professional work. In essence, plagiarism is both theft and lying: you have stolen someone else�s ideas, and then lied by implying that they are your own.

Learning when to cite a source and when not to is an art, not a science, and it is impossible to list every possible type of plagiarism. However, here are some typical examples of plagiarism that you should pay particular attention to avoid:

• If you use a sentence (or even a part of a sentence) that someone else wrote and don�t identify the language as a quote by putting the text in quote marks and referencing the source, you have plagiarized.
   
• If you paraphrase somebody else�s theory or idea and don�t reference the source, you have plagiarized.
   
• If you use a picture or table from a web page or book and don�t reference the source, you have plagiarized.
   
• If your paper incorporates data someone else has collected and you don�t reference the source, you have plagiarized.

The University of Indiana has developed a very helpful website with concrete examples about proper paraphrasing and quotation. See in particular the following pages:

• http://www.indiana.edu/~istd/overview.html
  
• http://www.indiana.edu/~istd/examples.html
  
• http://www.indiana.edu/~istd/test.html

On the last page listed, you will find a quiz to test how well you understand proper paraphrasing. 

If you still have questions after reading these pages, feel free to talk to me. There is nothing wrong with asking for help, whereas even unintentional plagiarism is a serious offense.

Course citation style

When you cite another author�s work in any assignment for the course, use footnotes and a bibliography formatted following the directions in Kate Turabian�s A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 7th ed., University of Chicago Press, 2007.

Note that Turabian�s book describes two systems for referencing materials: (1) "notes" (footnotes or endnotes), plus a corresponding bibliography, and (2) in-text parenthetical references, plus a corresponding reference list. Be sure to use the first system, with footnotes and a bibliography, for all work you turn in during the semester.

There are many websites that give guidance on Turabian-style citations, but many include incorrect or incomplete information. Therefore, you need to work from the book itself.

Campus policy in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act

If you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, or if you need special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please make an appointment with me as soon possible, or see me during office hours. SJSU Presidential Directive 97-03 requires that students with disabilities requesting accommodations must register with the SJSU Disability Resource Center to establish a record of their disability.

You can find information about the services SJSU offers to accommodate disabled students at www.drc.sjsu.edu.
