Methods of Instruction

This course will primarily be taught by in-person and online lecture, discussions, and small group
learning activities.


Evaluation Procedures

This course will use tests, discussions, and individual assignments. A point system will be used for
each assessment. Regular attendance and participation is a necessary ingredients for success in the classroom. Students are expected and encouraged to attend all classes. Each student begins the semester with a 100 point professionalism grade. If the student does something deemed unprofessional by
the instructor the student will be given a warning, the next time a situation arises the instructor will remove all of the professionalism points for the semester.


Grading Scale

A - 90%-100%
B - 80%-89.99%
C - 70%-79.99%
D - 60%-69.99%
F - 59.99% and below


Make-Up Policy

The student is responsible for keeping up with coursework and being prepared to take exams when they are scheduled. LATE WORK WILL BE REDUCED BY 1 LETTER GRADE PER DAY IT'S LATE. A student who is absent for a scheduled exam will be
allowed to take a make-up test for that exam if he/she was ill or subject to an external circumstance outside his/her control. The administering of a make-up exam is at the discretion of the instructor.


Attendance Policy

Regular class attendance and punctuality are required for all classes. If a student must miss due to illness, emergency, or college business, it is the student's responsibility to find out what classwork they missed. According to the student handbook, after a student misses the equivalent of two weeks of class sessions, the instructor has the prerogative of assigning a grade "F" for the course.


Academic Integrity

Academic Integrity is expected of all students. Dishonesty includes claiming credit for work others completed, lying, plagiarizing, cheating on tests, and copying other students' assignments. A single incident of violating academic standards of integrity may result in an "F" for the assignment, an "F" in the course, or expulsion. A violation of academic standards will be reported to the Chief Academic Officers. The student(s) involved in the incident may appeal any action through the Grievance Procedure. Plagiarism is a very serious offense and includes copying from other students, purchasing completed assignments, copying from textbooks, claiming as one's own work the ideas of someone else, not giving credit to a source (whether the source was directly quoted, paraphrased, or summarized), or citing a source incorrectly.


Special Needs

To receive services, students must request an appointment with the Vice President for Student Services and provide documentation of their disabilities prior to registration.
