I encourage you to obtain the e‐mail addresses and phone numbers of several other students who you could share notes and information with incase you become ill and cannot attend. You are still responsible for any work missed. Page 1 This course requires you to put in a significant amount of time outside of class. As with most university level courses the general rule of thumb is for every hour spent in class you should set aside at least two hours outside of class to master the material. It may take some of you more time than others depending on your comfort level with the subject matter. This course uses lectures, assignments and projects to teach you the material. Lectures are not the time for you to complete your assignments. Do not try and keep up with every mouse click during a demonstration but instead focus on taking good notes and then using your notes and book to try the concepts later. The assignments from the book are given to practice the skills required to complete the projects. These assignments are not very difficult or time consuming but are important when it comes to learning the software.

Examples of academic dishonesty include plagiarizing, faking of data, sharing information during an exam, discussing an exam with another student who has not taken the exam, consulting reference material during an exam, submitting a written assignment which was authored by someone other than you, and/or cheating in any form. Violators of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action. Cheating will not be tolerated. It will result in a FAILING grade for the course. In keeping with UVU policy, evidence of academic dishonesty may result in a failing grade in the course and disciplinary review by the college.
