Pearson Mastering – (Online Homework Assignments): The Pearson Mastering platform is an online tutorial, homework, and assessment system for the sciences. You are required to purchase a license to use Pearson Mastering this semester. If you purchase your textbook new at the HCC bookstore, this license will be bundled with it, at no extra charge to you. If you purchase a used book with any vendor, you will be responsible for providing yourself with a Pearson Mastering license at additional expense. There will be mandatory online homework assignment on the Mastering Biology site (www.pearsonmastering.com).The course ID for your course is:______ . Each student is responsible to register on the mastering biology website using an access code. The access code comes with the new book. The information regarding the access code will be given to you. The homework assignments will be graded and will contribute to 10% of the final grade. The due dates for the assignments will not be extended. Please read the instructions regarding mastering biology on the learning web or blackboard before you start taking the assignments. Required Material: Biology Textbooks, Colored pencils, pencil, pen, eraser, Sharpener, Ruler, Notebooks, Drawing book, Folder. Optional Materials or Reference Texts: Student Study Guide, Biology Coloring Workbook, HCC, Biology video In our efforts to prepare students for a changing world, students may be expected to utilize computer technology while enrolled in classes, certificate, and/or degree programs within H.CCS. The specific requirements are listed: Online quizzes and homework. Instructor guidelines and policies Attendance: Attendance to all classes is mandatory. Attendance will be taken both in the lecture and laboratory sessions. Should you anticipate an absence, please notify me in advance. If you should miss a class, it is your responsibility to obtain notes and assignments from a classmate and to check with me for clarification of missed material. If a student is absent for an extended period of time the instructor may attempt to contact him/her to discuss how to manage the absence. An excessive number of absences may prohibit your successful completion of this course. So, students are expected to attend classes regularly and on time. Latecomers or tardiness will not be tolerated. Students are responsible for materials covered during their absences. Class attendance is checked daily by instructor. A student may be dropped from a course for excessive absences after the student has accumulated absences in excess of 12.5% of the hours of instruction (including lecture and laboratory time). Note that 12.5% is approximately 4 classes or labs for a 4semester hour course, such as this one, which meets for 3 hours twice weekly. If circumstances significantly prevent you from attending classes, please inform me. It is the responsibility of each student to amend their professional/personal schedule to meet the class schedule. Examination: There will be (five) 5 lecture exams and a Departmental comprehensive final exam. Examinations may consist of multiplechoice, short answers, fill-in, essay, and/or matching questions. Out of the 5 lecture exams, you will have the opportunity to drop your lowest grade, so only 4exams plus the final exam will be considered towards the final lecture grade. Exams will cover material we cover in class, important concepts and discussion from the text book as well as hand-outs and assignments. You will get a maximum of one hour or one and half-hour period to complete your lecture exam. Laboratory Class Policy: Each student should arrive at the lab on time, with his or her lab manual. Lab safety rules will be reviewed on the first day of lab class. Practical will be performed in groups (individual contribution is vital), but each student is responsible for completing his/her lab reports at the end of each lab class. The lab must be kept clean before students depart from the classroom. Never leave a class without being dismissed by the instructor. There will be two (2) lab exams. The exam will cover chapters on lab safety, microscope, anatomical positions and terminology, cells, tissues, organs, skeletal system, muscular system, brain, spinal cords, and special senses (eye, ear). Assignments: Quizzes and homework will be administered regularly to ensure students grasping of content materials. There will be no late work or make-ups. Make-up Exams: There will be no make-up exams and final exam is mandatory. One lecture exam out of the five will be dropped for the final computation. If you miss one lecture exam, it will be counted as a dropped exam. Please note: All students are required to take the final exam. Failure to take the final exam will result in an “F‟ grade. Tutoring: The college will provide tutoring for the students. More information will be available later. You can check the tutoring and open lab schedule at http://learning.swc.hccs.edu Withdrawal Policy Last Day for Administrative and Student Withdrawals: Refer to the syllabus for the last date. I urge any student who is contemplating withdrawing from the class to see me first! You may be doing better than you think. Either way, I want to be accessible and supportive. I do not believe in "weed out" classes, and I consider you to be more than just a name or number! Note my office hours, above; if you need assistance, I'm here to serve, teach, guide, challenge and encourage you to achieve your academic goals. Please e-mail me to make appointments outside office hours. It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw from the class before the last day of withdrawal. The instructor cannot give a “W” after the withdrawal date. Abandoning the course or failing to formally drop, will result in a grade being given based on the work completed for the entire course (including missed exams). Simply, If you stop attending class, you must withdraw prior to “W” day. If you stop attending class and do not officially withdraw, you will receive an “F” for the course. To help students avoid having to drop/withdraw from any class, HCC has instituted an Early Alert process by which your professor will “alert” you that you might fail a class because of excessive absences and/or poor academic performance. The counselors will work with you to learn about what, if any, HCC interventions might be available to assist you – online tutoring, child care, financial aid, job placement, etc. – to stay in class and improve your academic performance. Grade Computation: LECTURE EXAMS (65%) +LAB EXAM (20%) +LAB REPORTS (5%) + ASSIGNMENT (10%) = 100% +BONUS (optional) A. Add only Four (4) of your best Lecture Exams together, add the Lecture Final Exam. Divide the sum by 5. Result =65 B. Add two Lab Exams. Divide the sum by 2. Result = 20 C. Add all Lab Reports. Result = 5 D. Assignments: Pearson Mastering, Quizzes, Homework, Project = 10 TOTAL is A + B + C + D = 100% GRADE DETERMINATION: A = 90-100%, B = 80-89%, C = 70-79%, D = 60-69%, F = < 60% I = Incomplete W = Withdraw INCOMPLETE: The grade of “I” is conditional. A student receiving an “I” must arrange with the instructor to complete the course work within six months of the end of the incomplete term. After the deadline, the “I” becomes an “F.” Academic Integrity/Honesty Houston Community College is committed to a high standard of academic integrity in the academic community. In becoming a part of the academic community, students are responsible for honesty and independent effort. Failure to uphold these standards includes, but is not limited to, the following: plagiarizing written work or projects, cheating on exams or assignments, collusion on an exam or project, and misrepresentation of credentials or prerequisites when registering for a course. Cheating includes looking at or copying from another student's exam, orally communicating or receiving answers during an exam, having another person take an exam or complete a project or assignment, using unauthorized notes, texts, or other materials for an exam, and obtaining or distributing an unauthorized copy of an exam or any part of an exam. Plagiarism means passing off as his/her own the ideas or writings of another (that is, without giving proper credit by documenting sources). Plagiarism includes submitting a paper, report, or project that someone else has prepared, in whole or in part. Collusion is inappropriately collaborating on assignments designed to be completed independently. These definitions are not exhaustive. When there is clear evidence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion, or misrepresentation, disciplinary action may include but is not limited to requiring you to retake or resubmit an exam or assignment, assigning a grade of zero or "F" for an exam or assignment; or assigning a grade of "F" for the course. Additional sanctions including being withdrawn from the course, program or expelled from school may be imposed on a students who violate the standards of academic integrity. Student Behavior Expectations Students are expected to conduct themselves appropriately while on College property or in an online environment. Students may receive disciplinary action up to and including suspension, if they violate System or College rules, disrupt classes, or interfere with the opportunity of others to obtain an education. Students who pose a threat to the safety of others will be subject to immediate withdrawal from the classroom, campus environment, and/or online environment, as well as face subsequent criminal charges, as appropriate. Please refer to the Student Code of Conduct located online for additional information. First rule: Follow instructions/directions; Second rule: Ask question, if you don’t understand Cell phones and Electronic Devices: Cell phones and beepers should be turned off or set to vibrate during class. No cell phones are allowed in use at any time as it disturbs the class. Audible cell phone ringing may result in your removal from class that day. Cell phone use during examination is cheating and will result in course failure. Full attention during lecture and lab is required. Absolutely no use of any phone or electronic devices during the class period. This includes making or taking a call, reviewing messages, texting, playing games, checking email, surfing the web, anything that involves a phone or other personal electronic device. If your work or family situation requires that you be available via phone, your phone can be on vibrate mode and you can take the call during our regular scheduled breaks or you can exit the class to review the call. Notify your friends, family, employers, and anyone else who regularly contacts you that you will be in class and that you should be contacted only when necessary. The taking of calls during class is not only disruptive but it is also discourteous to classmates and the instructor. Students are expected to conduct themselves as adults. This includes courteous and respectful behavior towards the instructor and classmates. Disruptive behavior or any behavior that interferes with any educational activity will not be allowed. Also, no student may interfere with his/her fellow students‟ right to pursue their academic goals to the fullest in an atmosphere appropriate to a community of scholars. Disruptive behavior may result in student’s removal from the class. International Students: Receiving a “W” in a course may affect the status of your student Visa. Once a W is given for the course, it will not be changed to an F because of the visa consideration. Please contact the International Student Office at 713-718-8520 if you have any questions about your visa status and other transfer issues. Disability Support Services (DSS) Any Student with a documented disability (e.g. physical, learning, psychiatric, vision, hearing, etc.) who needs to arrange reasonable accommodations should inform the department within one week of the first class session and must contact the Counselor at 713-718 7889, or contact the DSS office for assistance. At Southwest College, contact Dr. Becky Hauri, 713718-7909. Important Notice: Student who repeats a course three times or more may soon face significant tuition/fee increases at HCC and other public colleges and universities. If you are considering course withdrawal because you are not earning passing grades, confer with your instructor/counselor as early as possible about your study habits, reading and writing homework, test-taking skills, attendance, course participation, and opportunities for tutoring or other assistance that might be available. Beginning in fall 2007, the Texas Legislature passed a law limiting first time entering freshmen to no more than SIX total course withdrawals throughout their educational career in obtaining a certificate and/or degree. EGLS3 Evaluation for Greater Learning Student Survey System At Houston Community College, professors believe that thoughtful student feedback is necessary to improve teaching and learning. During a designated time, you will be asked to answer a short online survey of research based questions related to instruction. The anonymous results of the survey will be made available to your professors and division chairs for the continual improvement of instruction. Look for the survey as part of the Houston Community College Student System online near the end of the term.
