     Attendance:

    Students may miss three class sessions without penalty.  If you must be absent, be sure to use these ‘buffer days’ wisely.  Once a student misses more than three classes, each absence will reduce the attendance grade by 15 points for each day missed.  Absences which are due to documented SCC functions (ie. field trip for another class) are not counted.

    Please view the document which outlines the affect that poor attendance will have on your average.  When absent, students are responsible for finding out what they missed by checking with their classmates and/or instructor so the assignment can still be completed on time.

    Tardiness is defined as being 10 or more minutes late for class.  Three instances of tardiness will be counted as one absence. Students with NO absences will have 3 points added to their final average.  Students missing only one day will receive 2 points.  

    Class participation is important and activities that disrupt class or distract other students such as recreational use of the PC or side conversations during lecture/class discussion will result in an absence.  If you complete the assigned work early, you are encouraged to either help others who may be struggling, work ahead, study, or focus on assignments due for other courses.  Please be considerate of your fellow students and respectful of your instructor.

     Mini-Projects:

    We will work on many different mini-projects throughout the semester. They will involve whatever aspect of PHP we are discussing at that time.

     Projects:

    We will work on many different Projects throughout the semester.

     Final Project:

    The final project will be assigned at the end of the semester. It will bring together all of the things we learned throughout the semester. You will not be able to get help from me or anyone else on this project.

    Articles:

    Each student will be required to bring a current PHP article with a typed summary of the article. The typed summary must be at least 1/2 a page in length. The article can be out of magazines, newspapers, or from the Internet. You will have a total of four articles due during the semester. You will have to present the article to the class on the day they are due. The dates are: September 4, October 2, November 6 and December 4.

    Withdrawal Date and Procedure:

    The last day to withdraw from this class is Tuesday, November 4. To initiate this procedure, you must talk to your advisor about withdrawing before this date.

     Academic  Integrity  Statement:

    Plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of academic dishonesty are prohibited. In addition to other possible disciplinary sanctions, which may be imposed through the regular institutional procedures as a result of academic misconduct, your instructor will assign an "F" for the exercise or examination that evidences academic misconduct for the first offense and assign an "F" for the course for repeated offenses.

     Other:

    1) If you have a DOCUMENTED disability and think you will need some form of reasonable classroom accommodations to help you achieve your full academic potential, please see the disability office (student support services) located on the lower level of Oaks Hall. If you will not be needing classroom modifications, you are not required to disclose your disability.
    2) It is unacceptable to play games during class. During the lecture portion of class you may not type or have anything open unless we are discussing it at the time.
    3) All cell phones must be cutoff. This is educational time. Class does not need to be interrupted by a student leaving class to answer a cell phone call. The only exception to this is if you let me know at the beginning of class that you will be receiving an emergency call and you can put your phone on vibrate.
