1 FIR 3312, Fire Ground Tactics I Course Syllabus Course Description Examines strategies and tactics from the incident commander s viewpoint. Students are challenged with decision making through a variety of occupancies as they utilize basic firefighting procedures and considerations from today s fire service. In addition, scenarios and other assessments utilize simulation software to connect scenarios and decision making to the students' communities and departments. Course Textbook Avillo, A. (2008). Fireground strategies (2nd ed.). Tulsa, OK: PennWell. Course Software Introducing SimsUshare This course will utilize a new and exciting software program called SimsUshare. What is SimsUshare? SimsUshare is a new, patent-pending technology aimed to help instructors and students connect better in the classroom by enabling them to rapidly create realistic, localized experiences they can use to train on and discuss. Our goal in this course is to provide an authentic learning experience through the use of technology. As a student, you will utilize SimsUshare in this course to view and create simulations based off of scenarios provided from the course and from your community. To get started with SimsUshare, follow the instructions below. You will be provided with two sample sims to look at to give you an idea of what SimsUshare can do. After that, please refer to the course for opportunities to utilize the software further. How do I use SimsUshare? Instructions for installing the software and viewing the example scenarios: Insert the CD that accompanies the textbook. Run the installer "setup-simsushare-csu.exe." This file is found in the Mac and Windows folders. When it is finished, open SimsUshare on your desktop. Register the program with the license code provided on your CD sleeve. Close the SimsUshare application. Look in your Documents folder for a folder named "SimsUshare." Go inside that folder, into a folder named "sims." Go back to the disc folder and copy the CSU1 and CSU2 folders into the sims folder. Restart SimsUshare, and it will ask you if you want to add the new sims. Click add. Instructions for creating a SimsUshare simulation: Open SimsUshare software. Click New. Enter Sim Name, and click Select Photo from Disk. Browse your computer and select an image.

APA Guidelines The application of the APA writing style shall be practical, functional, and appropriate to each academic level, with the primary purpose being the documentation (citation) of sources. CSU requires that students use APA style for certain FIR 3312, Fire Ground Tactics I 9

10 papers and projects. Students should always carefully read and follow assignment directions and review the associated grading rubric when available. Students can find CSU s Citation Guide by clicking here. This document includes examples and sample papers and provides information on how to contact the CSU Success Center. Grading Rubrics This course utilizes analytic grading rubrics as tools for your professor in assigning grades for all learning activities. Each rubric serves as a guide that communicates the expectations of the learning activity and describes the criteria for each level of achievement. In addition, a rubric is a reference tool that lists evaluation criteria and can help you organize your efforts to meet the requirements of that learning activity. It is imperative for you to familiarize yourself with these rubrics because these are the primary tools your professor uses for assessing learning activities. Rubric categories include: (1) Assessment (Written Response) and (2) Assignment. However, it is possible that not all of the listed rubric types will be used in a single course (e.g., some courses may not have Assessments). The Assessment (Written Response) rubric can be found embedded in a link within the directions for each Unit Assessment. However, these rubrics will only be used when written-response questions appear within the Assessment. Each Assignment type (e.g., article critique, case study, research paper) will have its own rubric. The Assignment rubrics are built into Blackboard, allowing students to review them prior to beginning the Assignment and again once the Assignment has been scored. This rubric can be accessed via the Assignment link located within the unit where it is to be submitted. Students may also access the rubric through the course menu by selecting Tools and then My Grades. Again, it is vitally important for you to become familiar with these rubrics because their application to your Assessments and Assignments is the method by which your instructor assigns all grades. Communication Forums These are non-graded discussion forums that allow you to communicate with your professor and other students. Participation in these discussion forums is encouraged, but not required. You can access these forums with the buttons in the Course Menu. Instructions for subscribing/unsubscribing to these forums are provided below. Once you have completed Unit VIII, you MUST unsubscribe from the forum; otherwise, you will continue to receive updates from the forum. You will not be able to unsubscribe after your course end date. Click here for instructions on how to subscribe/unsubscribe and post to the Communication Forums. Ask the Professor This communication forum provides you with an opportunity to ask your professor general or course content questions. Questions may focus on Blackboard locations of online course components, textbook or course content elaboration, additional guidance on assessment requirements, or general advice from other students. Questions that are specific in nature, such as inquiries regarding assessment/assignment grades or personal accommodation requests, are NOT to be posted on this forum. If you have questions, comments, or concerns of a nonpublic nature, please feel free to your professor. Responses to your post will be addressed or ed by the professor within 48 hours. Before posting, please ensure that you have read all relevant course documentation, including the syllabus, assessment/assignment instructions, faculty feedback, and other important information. Student Break Room This communication forum allows for casual conversation with your classmates. Communication on this forum should always maintain a standard of appropriateness and respect for your fellow classmates. This forum should NOT be used to share assessment answers.
