MATERIALS
NEEDED: textbook,
notebook, blue or black ink pen, and at least two 3 1/2" IBM compatible
high density disks, junk drive or CD/RW.
CLASS
POLICIES: Students
are expected to take classes seriously and are expected to be attentive and
participate when appropriate throughout the entire class period. Students are
also encouraged to work in pairs when appropriate on lab work. Class
participation will be calculated in the final course grade.
Please, no drinks, food, gum,
pagers, beepers, or portable telephones in class. Disruptions in class are not
appropriate (i.e., talking, walking in front of others). Please respect others
and take care of personal business before or after class.
ATTENDANCE
POLICY: Students
are expected to be prompt and remain in class throughout the entire
class period unless previously excused by the instructor. Any student arriving after
class time begins will be marked Tardy.
Absences are
limited to double the number of times the course meets per week (i.e., meet
twice a week = allowed 4 absences; meet 3 times a week = allowed 6 absences) and any three (3) tardies constitutes an absence. Anything beyond these
allowances will result in being dropped from the course. It is the responsibility of the student to sign the
daily sign-in sheet. Failure to do so will be considered an absence. If you
expect to miss more than 3 class days in succession, you should consider
withdrawing from the course. You should have all work schedules, babysitting,
and transportation problems resolved before class begins. The aforementioned
problems are NOT sufficient excuses for missing class.
COURSE
REQUIREMENTS: Students
are expected to keep abreast of the reading assignments and stay current on all
classwork assigned. Quizzes may be unannounced, and there are no make-ups on
quizzes or tests. One test grade will be dropped. Remember, due dates
for assignments and projects are just that: due dates. Failure to turn in assignments on the due date will
result in a 10 point deduction for each
day late (excluding weekends) - not each class day. Students are
expected to make use of the open labs to complete assignments.
Students
are not excused from any classwork, quizzes, or tests given on a day they are
absent. (Remember, only one test grade will be dropped.). Students are
encouraged to exchange telephone number with classmates to get any missed
assignments. Students who miss are responsible for obtaining notes and
assignments from another student. Absence does not excuse any student from
classroom responsibilities due at the beginning of the next class meeting.
DISABILITY
ISSUE: Students
with disabilities requiring in-class accommodations should call the
Counseling/Disabilities Resource Center at 738-7636 on Beltline Campus or
822-3505 on Airport Campus.
ACADEMIC HONESTY
POLICY: Please refer to the Student
Handbook. All academic honesty issues
