No-Show Withdrawal Policy:
“Students are required to
attend class. Students will be issued a no-show withdrawal (NSW) under the following circumstances:
Courses
that meet more than once per week: students who do not attend the first two (2)
class sessions will be withdrawn from the class by the
instructor and issued an NSW.
Active Pursuit Policy:
“Students who are not
actively pursuing the course at midterm may be administratively withdrawn from the course and receive an “ADW”
on their transcript. Active pursuit is the completion of assignments, in-class-projects and
general activities of the class, as well as maintaining attendance that allows you the opportunity to
effectively succeed in the course.”
Attendance
Policy:
“There are two kinds of
absences:
Excused - you miss a class, call or e-mail before the class and bring me a
written excuse. I make note of
it on the attendance roster.
Unexcused - you miss a class and don't bring me a written excuse.
Attendance is taken at
2:00pm. Any arrival after that is considered “late”. If you are more than 30 minutes late, you will receive an unexcused
absence for the day. Three late arrivals equal one unexcused absence.
If the number of
excused absences becomes excessive (at my discretion) you may be asked to withdraw from the course. A grade of
"Incomplete" is given only when extreme documented circumstances have caused you to miss a
small amount of work necessary to complete the course.
Two (2) unexcused
absences are allowed. You final grade will drop by a 1/2 letter with each
additional unexcused absence (i.e. if you earn a high B but have four unexcused
absences, your final grade will be a C). In either case, you are responsible
for finding out what work you missed.”
Late Assignments and Exams
Late Assignments are
NOT accepted. Consideration will be made
for special circumstances.
Except in the case of
documented personal or medical hardship, subject to my review, there are no make-up
exams. If you arrive late to an exam, you will not be allotted additional time
to complete the exam.”
Classroom Policies
“Cell phones and all other electronic listening devices must be put on
silent or turned off prior to the
beginning of the class. If a cell phone
or other listening device repeatedly rings, vibrates or otherwise disturbs the class, the student will be asked to leave and
will receive an F for whatever assignments
are due that day. If you are expecting
an urgent phone call regarding medical or personal
hardship and may need to leave class, you must notify the instructor prior to
the beginning of class and be
prepared to step out of class to answer the phone.
“Laptop
computers and tablets are permitted in class as academic resources only, such
as note taking and research directed by
the instructor. Any recreational or otherwise non-academic use of such devices during class will be held to
the cell phone policy above.
“We
are all expected to be respectful and open-minded to one another. We will not always agree, but we are not to raise our voices
against, insult, or otherwise offend each other. If there is a disagreement, we will use that
opportunity to model best practices in resolving arguments; reason will be our guide.
“Students who are disrespectful or
offensive to the instructor or any member of the classroom community will first be addressed by the
instructor. If there are no
improvements, students will be referred
promptly for disciplinary action. Please
consult your student policy manual for more details.
“Students may have beverages during class, but food is not allowed. Only
students currently enrolled in our
class may attend. Children and anyone not enrolled in the class are not
permitted to attend.
Academic Dishonesty:
“CCC is committed to the ideals of truth and honesty. Students are
expected to adhere to high
standards of honesty and integrity in
their academic endeavors. Plagiarism and cheating of any
kind are serious violations of these
standards.
Academic dishonesty is a serious offense,
which includes but is not limited to the following:
cheating, complicity, fabrication and
falsification, forgery, and plagiarism. Cheating involves
Additional copying another student’s paper, exam, quiz, or use of
technology devices to exchange
information during class time and/or testing. It also involves the unauthorized
use of notes, calculators, and
other devices or study aids. In addition, it includes the unauthorized
collaboration on academic work of any sort. Complicity, on the other
hand, involves the
attempt to assist another student to commit an act of academic
dishonesty. Fabrication and
falsification, respectively, involve the invention or alteration of any
information (data, results,
sources, identity, etc.) in academic work. Another example of academic
dishonesty is forgery,
which involves the duplication of a signature in order to represent it
as authentic. Lastly,
plagiarism involves the failure to acknowledge sources (of ideas, facts,
charges, illustrations,
etc.) properly in academic work, thus falsely representing another’s
ideas as one’s own.
In individual cases of academic dishonesty, sanctions may include one or
more of the following:
an F grade on an assignment where academic dishonesty occurred, a
written warning, a failing
grade for the course, and/or issuing of an academic dishonesty
withdrawal. The severity of the penalty
is left to the discretion of the instructor except the issuing of an academic dishonesty withdrawal which requires Vice President approval. A
student may appeal a finding of academic dishonesty.
Additional sanctions may be imposed up to
and including dismissal from CCC when
circumstances warrant it and/or the
revocation of a previously awarded degree or certificate
A student may appeal additional sanctions
