I will not discuss your grades over the phone or by e-mail. If you want to discuss your grades, you must come to my office in person.

Homework assignments will be given each week.

LATE WORK is highly discouraged and will incur a 25 point penalty for every day it is late. Due dates are given and enough time is given to complete all work. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Academic Policies:
Student IDs are required for the first exam. IDs must be visible on your desk before the exam is administered no ID, no exam.
If you miss an exam, your lowest test grade will count twice. If you miss more than one exam, those exams will be given a grade of zero. Students must leave the classroom after exam is finished.
There will be a final exam. All students must take the exam on the scheduled date and time, and failure to do so will result in a 0 on the final exam.

Every student MUST have a copy of the required textbooks by the second week of class. The student will still be responsible for any assignments given. Failure to have a text may result in being dropped from the class.
No emailed work is accepted.

Students are responsible for completing all assigned reading and video viewings.
A failure to follow oral and/or written instructions will result in penalties.

Academic dishonesty will result in a zero on any assignment; a second incidence of academic dishonesty will be handled based on campus policies and procedures with the department chair.

Students should keep a record of their grades/average. Instructor(s) will not average grades for students. Instructors do not drop grades.

Quizzes will be given at the beginning of the class period. Students coming in to class late will not be allowed to take quizzes. A grade of zero will be recorded for the quiz.
Assignments are due at the beginning of each class; student assignment coming in late will be assessed a penalty, even if the student arrives to class late and turns in work.
Students are responsible for completing all assigned homework and for being prepared for each class meeting. This applies even if you were absent for the previous class meeting.

Software Requirements:
If you are in a course that is using a specific software, you MUST have the software available to you either on your home computer or you must use the open lab provided in the Gates Library.
Reliable Internet access is required for all online courses and many traditional courses. Computer failure and lack of internet access are not acceptable excuses for missed assignments, projects, quizzes, or exams. DO NOT wait until the last minute to complete class work or exams.

Poor attendance is a leading reason for termination from a job in all areas of employment.

With this factor in mind, the instructor monitors student attendance daily.

In addition, attendance on a regular basis is necessary for proper skill development.
