Teaching methods
1. Assignments: The Assignments Area on the Blackboard Course Site contains a folder for each
lesson. For an eight-week course, two lessons are assigned each week. The Lesson folder contains
the Key Topics, PowerPoint Presentation, Lesson Plan, Data Files, and Practice Quiz for each
assignment. For each Tutorial (Chapter) in the textbook, the student will be expected to (1)
complete the tutorial assignment [The work the author ask you to do as your complete the chapter,
(2) complete the Review Project, (3) complete Case 4, and (4) respond to a question on the
Discussion Board.
3. Exams: Three exams will be given. Completing the Tutorial Projects and the Case Assignments
proves the student’s mastery of PowerPoint’s techniques and procedures. The purpose of the
exams is to prove the student’s knowledge of terminology and concepts. The exams will be timed so
it is important that the student not only know the material but also know it well enough to move
quickly through the exam. The Exams may consist of multiple-choice, matching, and short answer
questions.
1. Discussion Board. For each Tutorial a Forum has been established on Blackboard’s Discussion
Board. You may earn up to three points by posting a response that thoroughly addresses the
question and which demonstrates satisfactory time and thought. Students are expected to display
CSC2483-PowerPoint
Page 2
tolerance for others’ views on the Discussion board forum and through e-mails. Comments and
language should be respectful and appropriate for a college community.
INSTITUTIONAL STATEMENT: Each student is responsible for being aware of the information
contained in the TCC Catalog, TCC Student Handbook, Student Code of Conduct Policy
Handbook, and semester information listed in the class schedule. All information may be
viewed on the TCC website: www.tulsacc.edu
ATTENDANCE
1. To be successful in this course, class participation is important. New material may be added for an
assignment or material may be updated when an assignment is made.
2. The last date of attendance will be considered to be the date of the last correctly submitted
assignment.
3. Assignments are expected to be submitted and exams are expected to be taken by the target dates
on the course agenda. If a student misses two target dates they are considered to have an excessive
absence.
4. Non-attendance of a course does not constitute official withdrawal and may result in a grade of “F.”
5. To request a change to Audit (A) or Incomplete (I), the student must be maintaining a passing grade.
To withdraw from the class or to change from Credit to Audit, the student should initiate an official
withdrawal through the Counseling Office at any TCC campus. . 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.
LATE ASSIGNMENTS AND MAKEUP WORK
1. It is the student’s responsibility to keep a copy of all assignments.
2. If extenuating circumstances make it necessary for a student to submit an assignment late, they
must contact the instructor.
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY:
1. The cornerstone for intellectual achievement is academic integrity. Tulsa Community College
recognizes that academic honesty is the vital key to a student’s true intellectual growth and ultimate
personal satisfaction and success.
2. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned nor tolerated at campuses within the Tulsa
Community College system. Academic dishonesty (cheating) is defined as the deception of others
about one’s own work or about the work of another.
a. Assignments: Each student is expected to complete assignments individually and
independently. Students may NOT work together on the same computer and submit duplicate
assignments. Two or more students completing an assignment and turning in multiple copies, all
represented either implicitly or explicitly as individual work will be considered copying.
b. Exams: Students may use their textbook and class notes when taking an online exam. However,
collaborating with another individual will be considered cheating.
c. Copying and cheating are serious offenses and may be punishable by failure either on the exam
or the assignment, or failure in the course. For more information, refer to the "Academic
Dishonesty" policy in the Student Conduct Handbook and the document entitled “Academic
Integrity” in Blackboard’s Course Information area.

sent to your MyTCC email address; and you must use MyTCC email to send email to, and receive
email from, the instructor regarding this course.
b. 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 (www.tulsacc.edu).
General Education Goals: General Education courses at TCC ensure that our graduates gain
