Student Attendance:
Academic Regulation 9.823 states:
Students are expected to attend all class sessions.
"Excessive absence" is defined as one more absence than the number of
classes per week during a fall or spring semester (with the number of absences
to be prorated for accelerated sessions). In cases involving excessive absences
from class, the instructor may drop the student from the class (resulting in a
grade determined in accordance with regulation 9.645).
If the student who is registered for audit is dropped by the instructor, the grade of "W" shall be recorded. It is important that you attend every class. You will be responsible for all work assigned whether you are present or absent.
Participation Grade: Students are
expected to spend class time working on activities for this class. Use of the
Internet shall be strictly limited to activities for this class. Behavior that
impedes the learning of others, or failure to participate in class activities
will cause your attendance/participation grade for that day to be reduced.
You will be responsible for
tracking your course participation points. At the end of each class, write the
following information on the front of a sheet in your small, spiral-bound
notebook:
1. Your full name
2. The date
3. What activities you did today to
participate in class
4. What you found most confusing or
unclear. If nothing was unclear, write “Nothing unclear.”
5. What assignments are due and when
6. How many participation points (0-5,
with 5 the best) you feel you earned today
If you were present and
participating suitably throughout the class, I will then initial the number of
points (or reduce if I deem necessary) and return the notebook FOR YOU TO KEEP.
At midterm and at the end of the semester, you turn in the notebook for me to
calculate your participation grade.
Tardiness: Class
begins promptly at the scheduled time. Students are expected to be ON TIME. If you are late, your participation grade for
that day will be adjusted accordingly.
Missed exams: If an emergency causes you to miss
a quiz or test, the teacher may, at her discretion, schedule a makeup. However,
without documented proof of the
emergency, you will automatically lose 20 points off the grade for that
test.
COURSE ASSIGNMENTS:
Assignments are due
at the beginning of class on the due date. Print-outs should have your name and
date on a separate cover sheet, stapled to the assignment. No folders, please.
Keep all returned, graded assignments until the end of the semester, when you
have received your final grade.
All assignments
must be uploaded to the course
website by the due date/time. There will be a separate handout, covering
the steps for uploading your work.
Late
assignments: If you turn in an assignment late, you MUST notify me by email when it has
been uploaded. After an
assignment is due, if you did not have a DOCUMENTED,
legitimate emergency, you will lose points for late submission as shown
below:

GROUP WORK: Group work is an essential part of
the learning experience in this course. You will be required to work with other
class members on some assignments. When
that is the case, your group members will evaluate how well you have
contributed to the group process, including such factors as your attendance,
cooperativeness, and the quality and timeliness of the work you produced. These
evaluations will count for the same number of points as the assignment itself.
POLICY ON ACADEMIC
INTEGRITY:
Cheating, plagiarism and/or
other forms of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Refer to the Student Code of
Conduct for more information.
Any occurrence of academic
dishonesty, including cheating, plagiarism, submitting someone else's work, or
helping another student to cheat, or any violation of the Code of Conduct will
result in a zero for that assignment as well as an automatic 10-point
reduction of your total semester grade.
HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, and
PROCEDURES:
You will have access to the
campus computer labs, which have all the necessary hardware and software
for the class activities. Locations, hours, rules and guidelines can be found
online at http://www.montgomerycollege.edu/Departments/InTechRV/
.
You will need BOTH Netscape
Navigator, version 4 or higher, and Internet Explorer, version 5 or higher.
This software can be downloaded free from the Internet. (If you use America
Online to access the Internet, you will need to dial up, then start a separate
Netscape or Explorer browsing window, as some assignments will not work
properly in the AOL window.) A computer with Internet access is necessary for uploading
the assignments with the WS FTP client program.
Statement on
Disabilities: All classes offered at
If you have a disability that will require accommodations,
please see me after class or during my office hour. I am reasonably sure we can work out whatever
arrangements are necessary, be it special seating, testing, or other
accommodations. If you have not already

obtain a letter authorizing your accommodations. Students with mobility disabilities

school, send students home early, or close the College entirely because of bad
weather. Area radio stations broadcast
information about school closings or delayed openings beginning around

announcements posted.
