Policies:
Attendance
I expect everyone to attend class. Attendance is part of your grade.
If you are unable to attend class please call or e-mail the instructor in advance. In the event of
cancellation of a class I will e-mail or tell you in advance.
Plan in advance, if you know you will not be able to attend a class, lab or event. Let me know AS
EARLY AS POSSIBLE so I can schedule a make up or other option.
Academic Honesty
As stated in the college catalog, academic honesty is expected of all Clinton Community College
students. It is academically dishonest, for example, to misrepresent another person’s work as one’s
own; to take credit for someone else’s work or ideas; to knowingly give or accept help on a test to
obtain advanced information on confidential test materials; or to intentionally harm another
student’s chances for academic success. When an instructor believes that a student has failed to
maintain academic honesty, the instructor may decide on the penalty he or she decides is warranted.
Please see college catalog for further details.
Special Accommodations
If you have, or suspect you may have, any disability or learning problem that may require extra
assistance or special accommodations, please speak with me privately after class or during my
office hours as soon as possible so I can help you obtain any assistance you may need to
successfully complete this course. You should also contact Laurie Bethka, EXT 252 or in room
420M , the Academic Assistant Center for further assistance.
Course Continuity Plan

disruption of this course. We will utilize email to continue this course in the short term (1-3 weeks).
