Students are responsible for completing all assigned homework, including reading assignments, by the required due dates. Students are responsible for completing all assigned reading and video viewings. A failure to follow oral and/or written instructions could result in a 0 being given for the assignment. There may be virtual meetings if needed. These meetings are not mandatory. I am using these meetings as an opportunity for you to ask questions about the reading material and/or any assignments given. If you need a virtual meeting you will need to email me to schedule one on TEAMS. Grades: All grades will be posted to your Blackboard under MyGrades. 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 hours or schedule a virtual meeting on TEAMS. Exams: Exams will be provided within a BlackBoard examination window. The exams will be timed and limited to 60 minutes maximum. Make-up exams will NOT be given. There will be a final exam.

Cheating on exams is not acceptable and will be subject to violations of the Academic Dishonesty policy which could include failing the course. Textbooks/supplies: Every student MUST have their own copy of the required textbooks by the end of the first week of class. The student will still be responsible for any assignments given. You will also need supplies to take notes and access to a computer to complete homework assignments. Academic Dishonesty: Copying, stealing, and/or submitting someone else’s work is considered a violation of the Academic Dishonesty policy. Academic Dishonesty of any kind will not be tolerated this includes the use of AI. A student violating this policy will receive a zero on any assignment (first offense); a second incidence of academic dishonesty will result in failure of the class and meeting with program coordinator and/or department chair.

Voice mail messages should be clearly spoken identifying students name, course, and a return phone number. |

If you do not log into your Blackboard two times per week, you will be considered to have an absence. Absences will be reported to financial aid and other campus offices per their request. |
