By arrangement, usually after class, only on days of class meetings.
None
None. We will be working from the instructor's notes on current topics. No book really is up to date enough to cover all the subjects we want to cover.
This course consists of guided hands on lab work with lectures, quizzes, tests, and in class discussions.
Attendance is not required but is beneficial when it comes to grades. The instructor is not your mother and it is not the instructor's job to scold you if you don't attend. A good student will show up without further explanation.
Pop quizzes, unannounced midterm examinations and graded assignments in nearly every class meeting will mean that students who attend regularly will get better grades than students who show up late or miss class.
Please do not bring your excuses for lateness or absence to class.
Everyone has doctors appointments, babysitter issues, traffic problems, or other issues from time to time. It is part of being an adult that you must manage these issues on your own without interrupting class to tell the instructor about them. Please make your own decisions about attendance or non-attendance. Please do not bring explanations of these decisions to class.
Students may drop according to college rules. Students who sign up and do not complete the course will fail. Dropping is student responsibility.
Students are encouraged to own and use cell phones, however, class use (voice or texting) is prohibited. Quiet use in halls or outside is permitted. Students are expected to act with courtesy and any student who creates a disruption in class, with cell phone or otherwise, will be excused and asked to leave.
90% A 80% B 70% C 60% D others fail.
Students who wish to talk on phones, text, chat with friends, or do any activity unrelated to achieving excellence in class, will be encouraged to go to the hallway. This is a mater of courtesy.
Students will expected to show up regularly for class, on time, without being checked on attendance.
No late projects. No late finals. No alternate dates for finals. Completion of projects and finals by a due date is part of what we learn in college. Grades will turned in the grades after class, the same day as the final, before the instructor goes home. Once grades are turned in the course is over and no late asignements will be accepted.
Violations of Academic Integrity include, but are not limited to, the following actions: cheating on an exam, plagiarism, working together on an assignment, paper or project when the instructor has specifically stated students should not do so, submitting the same term paper to more than one instructor, or allowing another individual to assume one's identity for the purpose of enhancing one's grade. Any of these are causes for dismissal, or for a bad or failing grade, or being removed from class.
