 Announcements: I will post announcements weekly, usually early in the week. These announcements indicate upcoming due dates and notes important to your success in this course. You should READ these Announcements every week. I also recommend using the Blackboard app on your phone, with notifications, so that you immediately receive notices of new announcements for this class. Use only your LSCPA email to communicate with me. 

 This course can not be completed on a phone or chrome book. 

  

 Assignments: No emailed work is accepted. You must submit all of your assignments in Blackboard. Homework and/or quizzes will be given each week. The assignments will open by Tuesday and will be due by the following Monday night. This is subject to change.?LATE WORK is not accepted. Due dates are given and enough time is given to complete all work. NO EXCEPTIONS.?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. 

  

 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. All students must take the exam on the scheduled date, and time, and failure to do so will result in a 0 on the exam. Your exam will be graded immediately by Blackboard. Feedback on specific exam questions will be given 24 hours after the exam is due by request. You must work alone while taking the exam. Cheating on exams is not acceptable and will be subject to violations of the Academic Dishonesty policy which could include failing the course. If you miss an exam you lowest exam grade will count twice.  If you miss two or more exams you will receive a zero on all exams missed.  

  

 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 be responsible for any assignments given from the textbook. 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 can result in failure of the class and meeting with program coordinator and/or department chair. 

  

 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 courses. Computer failure and lack of internet access are not acceptable excuses for missed assignments, projects, quizzes, or exams. There is access available on campus in the testing center and the Gates Memorial Library. DO NOT wait until the last minute to complete class work or exams. Do not complete assignments, quizzes, or exams on a phone or Chrome book as they will not submit properly. 

  

 E-Mail/Voice Mail Etiquette: Students must use appropriate e-mail etiquette when corresponding with instructor; for example, complete sentences and a full subject line with your name and course name. Voice mail messages should be clearly spoken identifying students name, course, and a return phone number.
