I will not tolerate cheating. Grades on assignments, quizzes or tests will be adjusted as warranted. Students who are suspected to have cheated will have a private talk with me and/or the division director. During or after this discussion we may make a suitable adjustment, if circumstances seem to warrant it. The following list is a sample of items that I consider to be cheating, but is not a complete list:

· Any assignment OR test which is copied in whole or in part from another person.

· Plagiarism (please be sure that you know what this means).

· Using corrected exams to study for late test taking.

Class participation (both in class and through the Discussion Board) 33%

Assignments 33%

Tests & Quizzes 33%

Extra Credit (If given) up to 1%

Projects, assignments, tests and quizzes:

In this class you will be providing evidence of your knowledge through completion of Hands On Assignments, quizzes and tests. Without completing this body of evidence it is impossible to assign you a grade for the quarter.

Therefore, with the exception of the final project/assignment, assignments are due as stated on the course calendar. Assignments received late will be marked 50% off after the due date as stated. You will have 48 hours to complete late work, if the work is not completed within 48 hours, the project/assignment will not be accepted. The final project will not be accepted late. No assignments will be accepted after the last class meeting of the quarter.

No make-up tests or quizzes will be given unless pre-arranged. Pre-arranged is defined as: notifying the instructor of your inability to take the test or quiz before the scheduled time of the test or quiz.

Other Grading Policies

Policy on V and I grades (if applicable), including college definitions

I- The incomplete is given at the discretion of the instructor only when the student has done satisfactory work but could not, for some unavoidable reason, complete some part of the coursework or take the final examination. The student and instructor prepare and sign an “Incomplete Grade Contract” (located in division offices) specifying the work to be completed. The contract will include the date by which all work must be submitted and the grade that will be submitted if the work is not completed. Incompletes given prior to Fall Quarter of 1990 will be assigned letter grades.

V - An instructor-initiated withdrawal. The final grade issued if an instructor initiates a class withdrawal before the end of the quarter, often in consultation with the student, or if a student enrolls in a class but never attends or stops attending class. A faculty member is under no obligation to grant an instructor-initiated withdrawal.

Final Exam Schedule:

The college predetermines final exam times for classes. The final exam for this class is Wednesday, March 17th at 6:00 P.M.
