Academic Integrity
It is the aim of South Plains College to foster a spirit of complete honesty and a high standard of
integrity. The attempt of any student to present assignments, which he or she has not honestly
performed, is regarded as a serious offense. The offender is liable to the consequences for
cheating and plagiarism as described in the SPC catalog in sections, “Academic Integrity and
“Student Conduct.”
Diversity Statement
In this class, the teacher will establish and support an environment that values and nurtures
individual and group differences and encourages engagement and interaction. Understanding
and respecting multiple experiences and perspectives will serve to challenge and stimulate all of
us to learn about others, about the larger world and about ourselves. By promoting diversity and
intellectual exchange, we will not only mirror society as it is, but also model society as it should
and can be.
Students with Disabilities
Students with disabilities, including but not limited to physical, psychiatric, or learning disabilities,
who wish to request accommodations in this class should notify the Special Services Office early
in the semester so that the appropriate arrangements may be made. In accordance with federal
law, a student requesting accommodations must provide acceptable documentation of his/her
disability to the Coordinator of Special Services, Eric Awbrey. For more information, call (806)
716-2366 or visit the Special Services Office located in the Student Services Building on the
Levelland campus.
Tips for Success:
 Be motivated. This course is going to teach you skills that will not only help make
you more successful in all college courses but also in life!
 Take initiative. You will be required to keep up with your assignments and complete
them on time.
 Be interactive. This class is designed to help you to succeed. That means you are
not here to listen to me talk for over an hour. All students will have a great deal of
interaction with the instructor and other students. Part of your overall grade is for
participation.
 Be open. Some of the exercises are for you to really think and reevaluate some of
the ideas that you currently have. It is also an opportunity for you to discover more
about yourself.
 Be honest. This is sometimes very difficult because we try to pleas others or don’t
want others to think differently of us. This class requires total honesty with yourself
and others.
