Class participation is important. This is one reason a high value is placed on attendance. You will be expected to discuss the material covered in class and answer questions about the material. Your attitude can affect your grade.

DAILY/WEEKLY ASSIGNMENTS:
Daily/weekly assignments will include reading and studying the text and turning in assignments. These MUST be turned in on time. The lowest daily grade will be dropped.

RESPONSIBILITY:
You are responsible for making up assignments and learning material missed during your absences. This DOES NOT release you from submitting your assignments on the due date. Assignments are posted on my web site.

In addition to your regularly scheduled class time, you ma also use the lab during your lunch hour, breaks and study hall provided an instructor is in the computer room.

CHEATING: Will not be tolerated. If you have used a disk or papers that belongs to another student, both students will receive an "F" for the whole chapter’s work (not limited to that one assignment). If found cheating on a second occasion, you will be asked to drop the class. If the cheating occurs after the drop date, or if you choose not to drop, you will receive an "F" for the class. All work must be on your disk unless the instructor directs you to erase it.

Academic Integrity:

DISHONESTY:

Procedure for Discipline of Cheating and Plagiarism

The responsibility and authority of initiating discipline arising from violations of rules against dishonesty during the process of the course are vested in the instructor of that course.

Plagiarism

Offering the work of another as one’s own without proper acknowledgement is plagiarism. Therefore, any student who fails to give appropriate credit for ideas or materials he/she takes from another, whether fellow student or a resource writer, is guilty of plagiarism. This includes downloading or buying papers from the Internet and cutting and pasting from the Internet without proper acknowledgement.

Cheating

Copying from another student’s paper
Using any unauthorized assistance in taking quizzes, tests, or examinations
Possession during a test of materials that are not authorized by the person giving the test, such as class notes or specifically designed “crib notes” or any other device or technology that would aid in cheating
Dependence on the aid of sources beyond those authorized by the instructor in writing papers, preparing reports, solving problems, or carrying out assignments
The acquisition, without permission, of tests or other academic material belonging to a member of Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas
Aiding and abetting another person in committing any form of academic dishonesty

Cheating in this class:

Cheating will not be tolerated. If you are cheating on one occasion, you will receive an “F” for the whole project’s work (not limited to that one assignment). If found cheating on a second occasion, you will be asked to drop the class. If the cheating occurs after the drop date, or if you choose not to drop, you will receive an “F” on your report card.
