The final grade in the course is based on the following percentages:
Percentage Numeric Grade
93%-100%
4.0
83%-93%
3.0 - 4.0
73%-83%
2.0 - 3.0
60%-73%
0.7 – 2.0
Below 60%
0
Every 1% change in the grade corresponds to a 0.1 change in the numeric grade.
If you are taking this class with the pass/no credit option, A pass corresponds to 73% or
above.
Campus Closure: If campus is closed because of snow or another emergency, when class
resumes we will start where we left off. Hence, if a quiz was scheduled for the day campus
is closed, that quiz will take place the first day the campus re-opens. Check shoreline.edu
for closure information. I will try to send a message to the class through Canvas. If the
campus is closed for more than one day during the quarter, our schedule may be changed
and students may be expected to complete extra out-of-class activities.
Math Learning Center: The Math Learning Center in room 4213 is open to students taking
math classes. Math Learning Center tutors work with students one problem at a time on a
drop-in basis, involving them in the learning process to promote increased understanding
of the concepts. The Math Learning Center provides a math-dedicated environment in
which students are welcome to work on their math homework individually or in groups
even if no math help is needed.
More information at http://www.shoreline.edu/math-learning-center/
Tutoring Services: Tutoring Services provides students with free one-on-one tutoring
support for any SCC classes. We also host drop-in learning centers for biology/chemistry,
physics, accounting/economics, and business technology/eLearning as well as language
conversation groups (schedules and availability vary). For more information and to apply
for tutorial assistance or to apply to become a tutor, please visit our office in 4228

Students with Disabilities: Students with disabilities have the right to request and receive
reasonable accommodations to ensure access to programs and facilities at Shoreline
Community College. To receive reasonable accommodations, students are responsible for
requesting accommodations and documenting the nature and extent of their disability in a
timely manner. Students should direct their requests for reasonable accommodation to the
office of special services. Contact them at 206-546-4545.

Academic Dishonesty: Besides receiving or giving unauthorized help during an exam,
cheating includes copying assignments, or allowing your assignments to be copied. Do not
turn in anything you do not understand. I reserve the right to question you about anything
you turn in. Cheating includes any attempt to defraud, deceive, or mislead me as I assess
your academic achievement in this course. Plagiarism is a form of cheating. Allowing your
work to be copied is also cheating.
Penalties for Academic Dishonesty (including cheating and plagiarism – see college policy
5033 for more explanation):
•
•
First Offense  A zero for that assignment. A zero for an assignment received in this
way will not be dropped (as a lowest score, etc.) and computation of the course
grade will be adjusted (as minimally and fairly as possible) to reflect this.
Second Offense – A 0.0 course grade and student will be reported to the college
administration for possible additional disciplinary action. This applies even for
students who selected P/NC grading.
Sex / Gender Discrimination: Title IX makes it clear that violence and harassment based
on sex and gender is a Civil Rights offense subject to the same kinds of accountability and
the same kinds of support applied to offenses against other protected categories such as
race, national origin, etc. As your instructor, I have a mandatory reporting responsibility,
and I am required by law to share information with the College regarding sexual
discrimination, such as sexual harassment, sexual assault, relationship violence, and
gender-based stalking. For more information about Title IX, you can go to SCC Title IX
website. You can also contact Yvonne Terrell-Powell, Title IX Deputy Coordinator 206-5464509 or the Dean of Students, Kim Thompson 206-546-6910. If you would like to talk with
someone in a confidential setting, please contact the SCC Counseling Services (206-5464559) and make an appointment to meet with a counselor.
