To
receive credit, work must be handed in on due date, if absent, assignments
must be handed in on first day of return to class. Tests/exams are to be
taken on time. No make-up tests or quizzes will be given. To compute the
“Test” component of the evaluation the lowest test score will be dropped and
the remaining test scores will be averaged. (The lowest grade will be
dropped.) Missed tests, quizzes, examination or assignments will count as a
ZERO in computing the final grade. Policies Attendance is important and students are expected to attend classes. Excessive absences during the semester will result in either a teacher-initiated withdrawal or a failing grade. If you are absent for more than three classes by mid-term, you may be withdrawn from the class. It is important for a student to meet with me to discuss any, and all, cuts after the allowed three. It is the student’s responsibility to acquire missed notes, handouts or assignments. Students are urged to retain all graded work returned to them until final grades have been received from the college. Also, students should consult the Academic Regulation in the College Catalog concerning important rules governing students in their academic work. If there is a need to withdraw from this course, do so officially from the Admissions Office. Student withdrawal period ends November x.

phones,
pagers, CD players, radios, and similar devices are prohibited in the
classroom and laboratory facilities. Plagiarism: Plagiarism and other forms of academic cheating are unacceptable and are considered as MAJOR infractions of the Student Code of Conduct and College Policy and will be dealt with as published in the College Catalog.
