COURSE POLICIES
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Attendance will be taken during the beginning of each session. If you are
late and your name has already been called, you will be marked absent for
that class session. 4 unexcused absentees would cost you a LETTER GRADE.
All Pagers and cell phones must be on mute or turned off in the
classroom. No food or tobacco in the classroom. You need not wait more than
ten minutes after the scheduled class time for me to arrive. I expect the
same courtesy---please be on time. Lateness is disruptive to the class.
Student Conduct In Class Policy:
Any acts of classroom disruption that go beyond the normal rights of
students to question and discuss with instructors the educational process
relative to subject content will not be tolerated, in accordance with the
Academic Code of Conduct described in the Student Handbook.
Children In Class Policy
Only in extreme cases are children allowed in classroom or laboratory
facilities, and then only with approval of the instructor prior to class.
Electronic Devices In Class Policy
Cellular phones, pagers, CD players, radios, and similar devices are
prohibited in the classroom and laboratory facilities. Calculators and
computers are prohibited during examinations and quizzes, unless specified.
Reasonable laptop-size computers may be used in lecture for the purpose of
taking notes.
Examination and Quiz Policy
No make-up exams will be allowed without prior arrangements being made.
Makeup exams are not allowed unless the student has received prior approval
from the instructor. Make-up exams must be taken when scheduled without
further rescheduling. This applies to all students even if the reason is to
attend a school function. Students who will miss an examination because
they are participating in a school function must take the exam before the
exam is given to the class, or they will be assigned a grade of zero for
the exam. It is the student's responsibility to contact the instructor at
least 7 days before the exam date to set up an appointment to take the exam
early. Approval or denial will be based on the instructor's discretion.
When possible, make-up exams will be administered prior to the scheduled
exam date.
Preparing for Examinations:
Attend lecture and read the chapters. At least 90% of the questions are
taken directly from the reading material. Review the Chapter Summary and
Key Terms sections at the end of the chapters on which you are being
tested.
In Case You Are Late or Absent:
It is your responsibility to get the course notes, handouts, and laboratory
assignments should you miss class or be late.
Appeals Policy
To appeal a grade, send an e-mail to your instructor's e-mail address
within four weeks of the grade having been received. Overdue appeals will
not be considered.
Incomplete Policy
Students will not be given an incomplete grade in the course without
sound reason and documented evidence as described in the Student Handbook.
In any case, for a student to receive an incomplete, he or she must be
passing and must have completed a significant portion of the course.
Cheating Policy
Students are expected to uphold the school’s standard of conduct
relating to academic honesty. Students assume full responsibility for the
content and integrity of the academic work they submit. The guiding principle
of academic integrity shall be that a student's submitted work,
examinations, reports, and projects must be that of the student's own work.
Students shall be guilty of violating the honor code if they:
1. Represent the work of others as their own.
2. Use or obtain unauthorized assistance in any academic work.
3. Give unauthorized assistance to other students.
4. Modify, without instructor approval, an examination, paper, record, or
report for the purpose of obtaining additional credit.
5. Misrepresent the content of submitted work.
The penalty for violating the honor code is severe. Any student
violating the honor code is subject to receive a failing grade for the
course and will be reported to the Office of Student Affairs. If a student
is unclear about whether a particular situation may constitute an honor
code violation, the student should meet with the instructor to discuss the
situation.
For this class, it is permissible to assist classmates in general
discussions of computing techniques. General advice and interaction are
encouraged. Each person, however, must develop his or her own solutions to
the assigned homework and laboratory exercises. Students may not
"work together" on graded assignments. Such collaboration
constitutes cheating, unless it is a grouped assignment. A student
may not use or copy (by any means) another's work (or portions of it) and
represent it as his/her own. If you need help on an assignment, contact
your instructor, not other classmates.
Disabilities Policy
In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), all
qualified students enrolled in this course are entitled to “reasonable
accommodations.” Please notify the instructor during the first week of
class of any accommodations needed for the course. If you have a disability
that may require assistance or accommodation, or you have questions related
to any accommodations for testing, note takers, readers, etc., please speak
with me as soon as possible. Students may also contact the Office of
Disabled Students Services (Ext- 3297) with questions about such services.
FINAL GRADE 20% each Exam (Except Final), 15% HW Portfolio, 25%
Final.
