79%=C; 60-69%=D; 0-59%=F

B. Exams/Quizzes

Quizzes are available as specified in the course schedule and may include a combination of hands-on tasks, multiple choice or true/false questions. They address chapter material as well as class discussion material. There are no make-ups for quizzes .

C. Assignments:

There are textbook assignments due during the semester. These are designed to provide the student with activities to increase proficiency with the material presented in class.

Each assignment has a due date as shown in the class schedule: Late assignments received no credit .

D. Class Participation and Attendance

Face-to-face students will participate in classroom activities, blended and online students will make regular submissions to a threaded topical discussion board.

Any college class requires a time commitment from the student. You must plan to spend

6-9 hours per week outside of class time working on course material. This involves:


• Reading the assigned chapter

• Reading and reviewing lecture material presented in the classroom

• Completing textbook assignments

• Viewing and reporting findings from assigned Web sites

• Participating in class activities

For this to be a rewarding and positive educational experience you must manage your time wisely. Develop a schedule for yourself so that you are completing course work on a regular basis. This may be at the same time and day each week, or as time permits.

You should make every effort to attend/participate in all classes, arriving on time with the required materials and ready to begin promptly. Irregular or casual attendance results in fragmented understanding and poor performance. You are responsible for all work and all announcements made during class.

F. Withdrawal Policy:

Students withdrawing before midterm will receive a "W" grade. Students withdrawing after mid-term will receive a grade of "W" only if passing at the time of the request.

There may be a financial issue associated with your withdrawal and you are encouraged to meet with a counselor prior to completing the required withdrawal forms.

A college initiated withdrawal will be initiated for any student failing to login into this course in Blackboard and/or participate in classroom activities for a period of three consecutive weeks. Student will be sent notice of withdrawal and will be removed from the roster. Student will need to request readmission by contacting the instructor.

G. Plagiarism and Cheating

Plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Any student who is found to be an active participant, on either end, in any incident, will receive a grade of zero for that assignment. Repeat incidents earn an F for the course.

H. Classroom Conduct

• Cell phones and other electronic devices not needed for the course are to be turned off during class.

• The course will use computers with continuous Internet capability and “Surfing the

Net,” “chatting online,” or any other unauthorized extra-curricular activity during class is not permitted.

• Students enrolling at the college assume obligations to conduct themselves in a manner compatible with the college’s function as an educational institution. Your attention is drawn to the WCCC Catalog and Student Handbook, in particular the sections concerning the Code of Student Conduct, Disruptive Student Behavior, and

Academic Dishonesty.

• Only WCCC assigned student email address (@my.wccc.edu) will be used for email communication. My email address is lucasm@wccc.edu
