COURSE POLICIES

 

Academic Integrity Policy:  Scholastic dishonesty shall include, but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, academic falsification, intellectual property dishonesty, academic dishonesty facilitation and collusion.  Faculty members may document and bring charges against a student who is engaged in or is suspected to be engaged in academic dishonesty.  See Student Handbook, “Student Rights & Responsibilities: Student Conduct”.    

 

Attendance Policy:

Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students in all classes for which they have registered.  All absences are considered to be unauthorized unless the student is absent due to illness or emergencies as determined by the instructor.  It is the student responsibility to provide documentation as to the emergency for approval and judgement by the faculty member.  Approved college sponsored activities are the only absences for which a student should not be held liable and only when provided by a college official ahead of the absence.  Valid reasons for absence, however, do not relieve the student of the responsibility for making up required work.  Students will not be allowed to make up an examination missed due to absence unless they have reasons acceptable to the instructor.  A student who is compelled to be absent when a test is given should petition the instructor, in advance if possible, for permission to postpone the exam.   

 Student will be dropped from a class by the Registrar upon recommendation of the instructor who feels the student has been justifiably absent or tardy a sufficient number of times to preclude meeting the course’s objectives.    Persistent, unjustified absences from classes or laboratories will be considered sufficient cause for College officials to drop a student from the rolls of the College. From Board Policy FC (LOCAL)  

Attendance & Participation in Classroom & Synchronous Online:  

ATTENDANCE:  Attendance will be taken via attendance to classroom or synchronous sessions.

Students must participate in more than 75% of all classroom sessions to successfully complete this course. There are 8 class sessions in the Fall Semester. The final grade will be reduced by 5% for three (3) or more absences.  

PARTICIPATION:  Active participation is required. Participation is more than coming to class. Class participation is a very important part of the learning process in this course.  Although not explicitly graded, you will be evaluated on the QUALITY of your contributions and insights.   

Quality comments possess one or more of the following properties: •         Offers a different and unique, but relevant, perspective;  

• Contributes to moving the discussion and analysis forward;
• Builds on other comments;
• Transcends the “I feel” syndrome, In other words, the comment demonstrates some reflective thinking and application of concepts being presented..
