function calculators will generally be used during testing but will be
addressed prior to each test.
Ø
Neither programmable devices, nor cell phones may be used
during exams in this course.
Attendance:
Students are
expected to attend all class, lab, and clinical sessions unless they are
officially excused. An official absence is granted when such absence is
caused by official participation in a college activity, and the
instructor is informed in advance. All other absences are
unofficial. Absences caused by unavoidable conditions, such as illness, should
be reported to the instructor by the start of class (Fiona 281-312-1599).
Please be aware that any call-ins will none-the-less count as an absence or
tardy.
Absences: will impact the final average with the first absence counting one (1) point,
the second absence two (2) points, the third absence five (5) points, and each
absence following a ten [10] point reduction.
Each tardy of less than 30 minutes will result in the deduction of
0.33% from the final grade average for this course. A “tardy” is
inclusive of leaving class within thirty minutes before dismissal, as well as,
taking leave during class or labs for longer than a reasonable amount of time.
The instructor will be the arbitrator of what is ‘reasonable.”
Tardies of 30 minutes or more
will be considered a half-day absence. These will be deducted as 0.5% from the
final grade average for this course. Leaving a class/lab early or
for extended periods will be calculated as a tardy or absence, depending on the
amount of time missed.
Students
shall not schedule conference times
with other faculty or counselors during class time and any class time missed
due to ‘appointments’ with counselors or other faculty will not be treated any
differently from other types of tardy or absences.
Leave of Absence is NOT given in
this program. Withdrawal is required. Student may not drop this class without
consultation with the instructor.
Academic Integrity (from
NHMCCD Catalogue): NHMCCD is
committed to a high standard of academic integrity in the academic
community. In becoming a part of the
academic community, students are responsible for honesty and independent
effort. Failure to uphold these
standards includes, but is not limited to, the following: plagiarizing written
work or projects, cheating on exams or assignments, collusion on an exam or
project, and misrepresentation of credentials or prerequisites when registering
for a course. Cheating includes looking
at or copying from another student’s exam, orally communicating or receiving
answers during an exam, having another person take an exam or complete a
project or assignment, using unauthorized notes, texts, or other materials for
an exam, and obtaining or distributing an unauthorized copy of an exam or any
part of an exam.
Plagiarism means passing
off as one’s own the ideas or writings of another (that is, without giving
proper credit by documenting sources).
Plagiarism includes submitting a paper, report or project that someone
else has prepared, in whole or in part.
Collusion is inappropriately collaborating on assignments designed to be
completed individually. These
definitions are not exhaustive.
When there is clear
evidence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion, or misrepresentation, a faculty
member will take disciplinary action including but not limited to: requiring
the student to retake or resubmit an exam or assignment, assigning a grade of
zero or “F” for an exam or assignment, or assigning a grade of “F” for the
course. Additional sanctions including
being withdrawn from the course/program or being expelled from school may be
imposed on a student who violates the standards of academic integrity.
Cell Phones & Pagers:
All cell phones and pagers must
be turned off during class time. No cell phone speakers are to be worn in the ears during
lectures or exams. If an emergency situation exists and only with instructor approval,
cell phones may be placed in “vibrate” mode. However, leaving the
classroom to answer an emergency call MUST be an infrequent occurrence.
Unit
Exams: These exams will start promptly
within the first 5 minutes of class. Students who are
scheduled to do their written tests in the testing center in the SFA building
shall be at the testing center before or
at the time the test starts. Exams
in the testing center will not be
allowed to continue past the usual time of the class that day. The student will
return to the classroom as soon as he/she finishes so that he/she can
participate in the rest of the day’s activities.
Students who
complete the exam in the classroom may exit the classroom if he wishes, but
must move away from the doors until everyone has completed the test. Unit Exams
will account for 95% of total grade.
No one leaving the classroom before completing the test shall speak to
any student who has completed the exam.
Remediation: All students
will be required to remediate any exam not passed with a 75%. This
remediation will consist of extra homework assignments & at least one
meeting with the instructor. This
remediation will not change the grade. Remediation must be turned in prior
to May 9, 2008. Single quizzes don’t need to be remediated, but consistently
low quiz grades may be reason for remediation.
A student must
remediate all unit exams that were missed because of an absence. Under
these circumstances, the best grade he/she can get is a 75%. For
example, the student answers 85% of the questions correctly. His grade will
only be 85% of 75%-- which is only 64%. The retake will be on the first day
back from the absence. If the student knows he/she will be absent on a testing
day, the student may ask to take the test early and the exam will be
left in the testing center for completion during the time frame established by
instructor and student. A test taken
early will accumulate full credit.
Homework: The function of homework is to help the student clarify the
information in the unit. While it is possible to pass this course without doing
homework, we strongly recommend the student do each homework assignment as if
it was being graded. Exam questions will
be based on review, and homework assigned with each unit.
·
Unit review sheets: will be passed out at the start of each
unit. Keys for each of these reviews can be found online. Occasionally other homework will be
assigned in the form of worksheets
or assignments out of the Egan’s workbook.
