There may be 2 doors entering and exiting the classroom. The current TCC
Policy states all doors must be remained locked during class hours for the
safety of students and Instructors. Both doors are to be remained locked and
entrance will be gained from the lower/front door. The doors are locked from
the outside only, you will be able to exit at any time. If the event occurs that
we must exit the building, please take all of your belongings with you and exit
the premises.
It would be extremely beneficial to gain the names and phone numbers to
numerous classmates from lecture and lab. In the event that you are not able to
attend class, please contact one of your classmates to see what information
was missed and/or assigned.
Please check Blackboard Daily for course announcements and assignments.

class. The doors will be locked promptly at 5:30 p.m. for lecture. Students
absent from lecture for any reason is responsible for lecture and any required
assignments. It is your responsibility to obtain missed information from
your colleagues, not your instructor. It would be best to obtain the name
and phone numbers of multiple classmates.
Inclement Weather:
TCC rarely closes. If extreme weather conditions or emergency situations
arise, TCC always gives cancellation notices to radio and television stations.
This information is also posted on the TCC website. You should register for
TCC alerts to directly receive a text or voicemail regarding TCC
cancellations. You can follow this link http://www.tulsacc.edu/45312/ or
you can visit the “About TCC” tab on the TCC homepage. The TCC Alerts
information is at the bottom of the list on the left.
Lab:
Please attend your scheduled lab. Attendance is mandatory, not
optional. No exceptions. Tardiness of more than 5 minutes to any lab
will result in the inability to attend lab. Please make the proper
accommodations. Pre-Labs are due at the beginning of lab. Lab
assignments will be completed on Wiley via TCC Blackboard and the due
dates are posted with each assignment. I do not accept late work. Please do
not wait until the last minute to submit assignments. If you are “timed
out of your session”, sign back into Blackboard and if you still have the
allotted time left for the assignment, it should allow you to continue. You are
submitting items over the internet. There are many things that can go wrong
in the path between your computer and the WileyPlus/Blackboard course site.
Your personal computer/Internet Provider issues are not acceptable
explanations of late work. When I log into Blackboard, I can see the exact
time you started an assignment and the time of the last question attempted.
Classroom Conduct:
CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE: Open and mutually respectful communication of varied opinions,
beliefs, and perspectives during classroom or online discussion encourages the free exchange of
ideas that is essential to higher learning and to the ability to learn from each other. Use of any
electronic device is at the discretion of the instructor. Laptop use is a privilege and will be
revoked if students are caught using a laptop for tasks other than taking notes or completing
homework assignments. iPods are to be turned off during class and cannot be used during a
test. Classroom conduct that is not conducive to the learning environment will be dealt with
on an individual basis and may involve removal of students from the learning environment for
the remainder of the class period or semester. To be clear in what constitutes misconduct and
unacceptable behaviors in the classroom, a list has been complied. Note: The following list is
not all inclusive.









Repeatedly interrupting an instructor while he/she is lecturing or conversing with
another student without first raising one’s hand and waiting until called upon.
Asking questions not pertinent to the topic of discussion.
Causing classroom disruptions by
o walking out of the classroom abruptly or leaving the classroom multiple times
o repeatedly talking during lecture
o using an inappropriately raised voice
o tardiness
o distracting classmates
o using approved electronic media in a manner not relevant to the lecture/lab
Displaying a lack of respect or courtesy to faculty or classmates through derogatory
language, threatening or offensive words or behavior, or unwanted invasion of personal
space.
Using a prohibited electronic device in the classroom.
Working on material not related to this class.
Refusing to follow directions from faculty.
Intentional destruction of college property.
Influencing or attempting to influence another person to violate these misconduct
policies.
At the college level, everyone enrolled in this course is considered an adult and as such you are
expected to act accordingly. It is not my wish to have to remove anyone from the learning
environment; however, if I feel any of the misconduct rules have been violated, you will be
asked to leave the classroom for the remainder of the lecture/lab. A meeting between the
instructor and student will occur before you are allowed to enter the classroom again. If you
violate the rules of misconduct a second time, you will be removed from the course
permanently. As stated in the syllabus, AWs are not given. The removal from the course will
result in a grade being assessed at the end of the semester according to your scores earned on
all assignments from week 1 to week 16. Tuition paid for the class will not be refunded, and
failure to complete the course may have a negative impact on current and future financial aid.
I want each student to be successful in this class and avoid these negative consequences of any
continued inappropriate classroom behavior.
Evaluation methods:
There will be 5 exams plus a 6th comprehensive exam, 4 Lab Practicums,
approximately 14 lab assignments, Wiley Homework Assignments on
Blackboard and an undetermined number of unannounced quizzes. On test
days, after the first person leaves the examination room, no one is allowed to
enter and take the examination. It is extremely important that you arrive on
time for class, examinations and lab. There are no make-up exams, so please
be prepared to attend all scheduled class dates. The final exam may be given
at a different time other than our regularly scheduled class. The final exam
schedule is posted on the TCC Website. Please be advised.

Academic Dishonest or Misconducts:
Academic dishonesty or misconducts are not condoned or tolerated at
campuses within the Tulsa Community College system. Academic
dishonesty is behavior in which a deliberately fraudulent misrepresentation is
employed in an attempt to gain undeserved intellectual credit, either for
oneself or for another. Academic misconduct is behavior that results in
intellectual advantage obtained by violating a specific standard, but without
deliberate intent or use of fraudulent means. Academic dishonesty and
misconduct are governed by the Campus Student Rights and Responsibilities
Code (see Student Conduct Handbook). Cell phones are prohibited on exam
days. All cell phones need to be put away and out of sight.
Tobacco Free College
Tulsa Community College is a Tobacco Free college in accordance with the
Governor’s Executive Order 2012-01 and Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes,
Section 1-1523 which prohibits smoking or the use of any tobacco products
in all public places, in any indoor workplace, and all vehicles owned by the
State of Oklahoma and all of its agencies and instrumentalities. This Order
includes property leased, rented, or owned by TCC including, but not limited
to, all grounds, buildings, facilities, and parking lots. Tulsa Community
College’s policy includes a tobacco free environment on all campus and
off-campus locations conducting TCC credit or non-credit classes. The
TCC Campus Police is responsible for ensuring compliance with the
Tobacco-Free Environment Policy. Violations of the policy may be
addressed through issuance of campus or state citations.
This also includes the E-Cigarettes and Vapor Cigarettes.
Course Withdrawal:
The deadline to withdraw from a course shall not exceed ¾ the duration of any
class. Check the TCC Academics Calendar for the deadline that applies to
the course(s). Begin the process with a discussion with the faculty member
assigned to the course. Contact the Advisement Office at any TCC campus
to initiate withdrawal from a course (“W” grade) or to change from Credit to
Audit. Withdrawal and/or change to an audit from a course after the
drop/add period can alter the financial aid award for the current and future
semesters. Students may receive an outstanding bill from TCC if the
recalculation leaves a balance due to TCC. Students who stop participating
in the course and fail to withdraw may receive a course grade of “F”, which
may have financial aid consequences for the student.
