Attendance:
Regular attendance and class participation are significant factors that promote success in
this course. Students are expected to attend every class and be punctual. Students are
responsible for all class materials and any announcement made in class whether or not you
are present. You may be withdrawn if you miss more than 5 class meetings.
WITHDRAWAL:
Per Valencia Policy 4-07 (Academic Progress, Course Attendance and Grades, and
Withdrawals), a student who withdraws from class before the established deadline for a
particular term will receive a grade of “W”. A student is not permitted to withdraw after the
withdrawal deadline. A faculty member MAY withdraw a student up to the beginning of the
final exam period for violation of the class attendance policy. A student who is withdrawn
by faculty for violation of the class attendance policy will receive a grade of “W”. Any
student who withdraws or is withdrawn from a class during a third or subsequent attempt in
the same course will be assigned a grade of “F”. For a complete policy and procedure

Homework
Homework problems will be assigned at the end of each class meeting. Completion of
homework is crucial to the student’s success in this course. Homework problems must be
worked in a dedicated notebook neatly and in order. To be successful in the class it is
important to spend considerable amount of time working the homework assignment before
attending the next class period. Failure to do so will result in you falling behind. It is highly
suggested that you discuss ideas and homework with other students. Homework will not be
collected.

emphasis of the most recently completed material. There will be quizzes. The final grade

Make-up
No make-up test will be given. If a (one) test is missed because of an accepted reason such
as a medical emergency (subject to instructor’s approval), your final exam grade will be used
in place of the missed test score. Otherwise, no test’s score replaces no other test’s score.
Honesty:
Cheating involves representing someone else’s work as your own. This is unacceptable
behavior. Such incidents will be handled according to the College’s Academic Honestly Policy
(6Hx28:10-16, 6Hx28:10-3).
NOTE: Students with disabilities who qualify for academic accommodations must provide a
letter from the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) and discuss specific needs with the
professor during the first week of class. The Office for Students with Disabilities determines
accommodations based on appropriate documentation of disabilities.
