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.

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.
