      Attendance:

    Since we only meet one day a week, attendance is very important. Students may miss two class sessions without penalty.  If you must be absent, be sure to use these ‘buffer days’ wisely.  Once a student misses more than two 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.  

    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.

      Project and Project Checkup:

    We will work on one real world hands on projects during the semester. I will tell you more about these projects in class. As you can see by the weight of this portion, this is a major part of your overall grade.

      Presentation: You will have to present your whole portfolio at the end of the semester.

      Weekly   Articles:

    Each student will be required to bring a current article to class each week with a typed summary of the article. The article summary must be completed before the beginning of the class that it is due. The typed summary must be at least 1/2 a page in length. The article can be out of magazines, newspapers, or off the Internet. It needs to focus on any new technolgy that you have learned about. You will have to present the article to the class on the day it is due.

    Withdrawal Date and   Procedure:

    The last day to withdraw from this class is Tuesday, March 31st. 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) Any students with special needs should let me know of these needs within the first week of class, so we can make the appropriate arrangements.
    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.
    4) Inappropriate behavior during class presentations distracts your instructor and classmates and is, therefore, unacceptable. You may be dismissed from class if your behavior disrupts classroom activities.

    I reserve the right to modify this syllabus, either verbally or in writing, as is necessary to meet our course objectives.
