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.

your advisor about withdrawing before
this date.
Class Policies:
Missing an exam or assignment is excusable only in the event of documented personal illness or death in the family. I do not accept late work assignments. You may turn in assignments as dictated by the assignment details. Any late assignment will have the grade “0”.
Blackboard (http://southwesterncc.blackboard.com)
This course is web-centered (fully online). Assignments are completed online either at home or on campus. Be sure to check this course on the website often for announcements and upcoming assignments. Check your email often as well. Tests will be administered online. Grades for tests are reported via Blackboard.

Please be aware that you have access to the computers in and services of the Library located at the Summit.
Learning Assistance Center (http://www.southwesterncc.edu/learnasstctr/index.htm)
The Learning Assistance Center provides invaluable assistance to students who want help for a variety of reasons such as composing a term paper or making sense of calculus. For more information, visit them on the SCC website.
Students with documented disabilities:
If you would ordinarily seek accommodations / modifications when taking a face-to-face class on campus, you may find that taking an online class eliminates the need for any accommodations. However, you may find that some accommodations are still needed to make your online experience fully accessible. We urge you to: 1) make sure that all aspects of this class are accessible to you - and - 2) make sure that all the accommodations you would need in a face-to-face class are appropriately addressed in this class. To discuss your specific needs, please contact Wesley Satterwhite, Disability Services Coordinator at (828)339-4229 or wesleys@southwesterncc.edu . Information, documentation and other records provided will be maintained in a confidential manner as outlined in the Family Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974.
