Class Procedures

Please turn all cell phones off during class. I will not allow you to take calls during class. If you phone rings during class, you will be asked to leave and not be permitted to return.

You are also expected to be in class and ON-TIME for discussions and project work. All classes will be held in the lab. During discussions, you are expected to actively participate.

You are also expected to participate actively in the semester projects. If you are late for class and miss material, it is your responsibility to get the material. If you miss deadlines and do not submit your work for individual assignments, it will be reflected in the grade for that work.  All work MUST be posted to the Blackboard account for the class--It will NOT be accepted through EMAIL.

Academic Integrity Work submitted for grading should be produced by the submitting individual.
Misrepresentation of student work will result in failure for the course.
Each student is expected to read and complete the project/paper completion form.
Assignment Grading Assignments will be posted on the course web site. The assigned dates and due dates will accompany each assignment. These dates will be strongly enforced. It is the student's responsibility to check Blackboard for posted work. Absence on a due date is not an excuse for a late assignment. If the student does not hand in the assignment by the posted time on the due date, then the assignment is late.

Late assignments will have ten points deducted prior to grading. Assignments will be graded based on completeness, correctness and method of presentation. Assignments more than 1 week late will not be graded. The student will receive a grade of 0 for these missed assignments. Each assignment will have an assessment sheet attached to the assignment when it is assigned.
