Attendance is essential to your success in this course. As this is a short-term course, we move quickly from one topic to the next. There are some exceptions given in extenuating circumstances. Class sessions are devoted to instruction of new material and review of previous topics. You are responsible for material covered in lectures, assignments, handouts, classroom activities and any changes in assignments. You are expected to take notes in class. You are responsible for all material and instruction missed due to absences. You will need to get any missed material from another student in class. Homework assignments are listed in the attached class outline. Students may be dropped after missing three class sessions.

required to purchase and complete a lab book for this class. The
successful completion of the lab book will comprise 25% of each student’s

points for the lab manual.

Student Code of Conduct
Academic Honesty Policy: Students
are required to do their own work on assignments and to work alone on
exams. Examples, and the consequences,
of cheating are given below. Please
refer to the Student Code of Conduct in the Sacramento City College
Student Guide for additional examples and information
The Student Code of Conduct must be followed by all students, for more information click on this link SCC Student Code of Conduct. At the professor’s discretion, failure to engage in respectful and academically appropriate behavior may result in you being denied access to the course website (i.e., the equivalent of being asked to leave the classroom in an on-campus course).
Cheating on Exams
·
Obtaining
answers from another student during an exam (in any form and with or without
his/her knowledge).
·
Providing
answers to another student during an exam (in any form).
·
Using
material during an exam that is not allowed.
·
Copying
of quiz or exam questions.
·

Consequences of Cheating
Academic honesty is expected. Students are required to do their own
work. If cheating or plagiarism occurs
on an assignment or exam, a grade of zero will be assigned. The matter will be referred to the Business
Division Dean and the Campus Discipline Officer for appropriate action.
Class Drop
Policy: In the event, a student decides to drop the
class it is the student’s responsibility to notify and complete all the
necessary documentation with the admissions and records office. Students may be dropped from the course for
excessive absences generally this means three missed classes. DO NOT assume that the instructor will
automatically drop you off the class roster if you stop attending -- it is the
student's sole responsibility to officially drop classes. Students who stop
attending past the last date to drop will receive a grade of "F".
Additional
Standards of Conduct: Students shall comply with the
following standards of conduct while in the Classroom and Labs:
- No food or drinks are allowed at desks. All eating or
drinking must be done outside the classroom and labs.
- No typing, talking or printing while the instructor is
lecturing or communicating lab instructions. Please be courteous to your
fellow students and allow them to concentrate on the material being
presented.
- Students are expected to conduct themselves in a
courteous and respectful manner at all times when communicating with other
students the Instructor or lab personnel.
- Please be attentive during lectures and while receiving
instructions in lab.
Any flagrant
violations of any of these standards of conduct will result in the student
being recommended to the Division Dean and/or the Campus Disciplinary Officer
for disciplinary action.
Learning Accommodations: If you are a student with a learning
disability, a physical disability, or other special needs, please let me know
as soon as possible if you need special accommodations. These discussions are best handled during my
office hours or by appointment. All
needs which have been verified through the disability centers on campus will be
accommodated.
