11. Final Exam Information:
Online classes at Delgado Community College are designed to provide students with a learning experience as
received in classes that meet in person. In order to maintain an equivalent standard of academic integrity in online
courses, the Final Exam for this class must be taken in the presence of a proctor. A proctor is a person approved
by your instructor, Professor Brown to observe you while you take the exam(s).
Delgado is committed to making the proctoring process as convenient as possible and we are providing you with
opportunities to take proctored exams (Final Exam) at Delgado campuses and sites. Your instructor, Professor
Brown will inform you of the dates, times, and rooms available for taking proctored exams at a Delgado campus
or site.
If you are unable to take the Final Exam at a Delgado campus or site, it is your responsibility to arrange to take
the exam in the presence of a proctor at another site. The proctor may be an instructor at another college, someone
at a testing center or any other person approved in advance by your instructor, Professor Brown.
You must notify your instructor, Professor Brown, as soon as possible of your need to use a proctor at a nonDelgado site. Please provide your instructor, Professor Brown, with the name, phone number and email address of
your proposed proctor so that your instructor, Professor Brown, may communicate with this person to determine
suitability for proctoring and, if the proposed proctor is approved, to provide that person with the necessary
testing materials and instructions.
Failure to make outside proctoring arrangements in a timely manner will result in a failing grade for the exam(s).

13. Teaching/Learning Methods:
The basic structure of the course consists of lecture notes, hands-on assignments, discussions, Canvas (course
management system), PowerPoint presentation lectures, and SIMnet assignments.
14. Statement for Disability Services:
It is the general policy of Delgado Community College to provide an equal opportunity for academic success to
all students. Reasonable accommodations for a student with a disability will be made provided the student have
self-identified with the Office of Disability Services and has provided required documentation. Individual
instructors will appropriately modify their methods of instruction, course and examination requirements and
general procedures to accommodate the special needs of the student provided the academic integrity of the course
or examination is not violated and the accommodation does not jeopardize the health and welfare of all students.
No accommodations will be made without the letter of accommodation from the Office of Disability
Services. For additional information, see the Delgado Community College Catalog. You may contact the Office
of Disability Services within the first week of class. You can contact Joseph Williams on the West Bank Campus
at 504-762-3191 or Amanda Hassan on the City Park Campus at 504-671-5161 (voice) or 504-671-5160 (TDD).
15. College and Classroom Policies:
a)
Instructional Learning Activities
1. The primary learning activity will be reading and practicing. It is expected and necessary that you study at
least two hours. The more you read the better your grade will be.
2. Your assignments will be completed on the course management program (Canvas). You will need to check
the course management program (Canvas) each day to complete assignments, read announcements, and post
Page 9 of 21
to the discussion board. In addition, you need to check your email account every day. If you experience
difficulties or need assistance with the Canvas, please call 1-844-408-6456 (available 24 hours a day 7 days
a week).
3. If your computer malfunctions, your assignments still must be turned in on the Due Date. You can use the
Learning Resource Center (Building 1, Room 107) on the West Bank Campus or Student Open
Computer Lab (Building 2, Room 210) on the City Park Campus to complete assigned assignments if your
computer malfunctions or your Internet is not working or your computer has a virus.
4. Ask questions. You are encouraged to seek assistance from Professor Brown to clarify further any difficult
concepts.
b) Disruptive Behavior
1. Any student who is disruptive of the class or refuses to act in accordance with the DCC Student Judicial Code
will be asked to leave the room and may be dropped from the course. Examples of disruptive behavior
include ringing cell phones, answering/texting on cell phones, interrupting lectures, threatening or verbally
abusing the instructor or other students, and being loud and distracting. Disruptive behavior may result in
suspension from classes or expulsion from school.
c) Absences and DROP/ADDS
1. The equivalent of 10% of class time or 4½ hours whether consecutive or not, is grounds for dropping a
student from the course.
2. The responsibility for withdrawing from CMIN 201 lies completely with the student. Failure to drop a
course by the final deadline Tuesday, November 10, will result in you receiving a grade of a “F.”
3. All instructors will maintain attendance records for each class throughout the semester.
d)
Attendance
Effective Spring 2015 Semester
Delgado recognizes that class attendance and participation plays an important role in a student’s ability to
achieve his/her educational goals. Students are responsible for all course content and are responsible for
understanding course-specific attendance policies and should plan accordingly as listed in the course syllabi.
Class attendance is an obligation as well as a privilege. All students are expected to attend (or interact online, if
applicable) regularly and punctually all classes in which they are enrolled. Failure to do so may lead to a lower
or failing grade in a course and an outstanding financial obligation.
Effective Spring 2015 Semester, Delgado Community College is non-attendance* taking institution for the
purposes of Return of Title IV Funds regulations; however, faculty members are required to state and to explain
in the course’s syllabus if there are any expectations concerning class attendance (or online participation, if
applicable) and absences. It is also the instructor’s prerogative to define “excused” and “unexcused” absences.
(*Exception: Any program that is required by an external agency to have attendance taken.)
By the official 14th class day (7th class day for summer session), all instructors are required to drop any student
who has never attended the class or participated in an online course. This ensures the College reports the student
Page 10 of 21
as non-attending and federal financial aid will not be disbursed. The disbursement of federal financial aid funds
creates an institutional responsibility to collect the unauthorized funds from the student.
Important notes about the policy:

Instructors are required to drop any student who has never attended the class or participated in an online
course by the census date.
 Instructors will not drop/withdraw students for non-attendance after the census date.
 It is a student’s responsibility to drop/withdraw from class by the published drop/withdraw date.
 Students enrolled in class at end of term will be issued a grade.
e)
Syllabus Disclaimer
This syllabus is subject to change at the discretion of the instructor. Changes are posted on Canvas as
an addendum to the syllabus. The course goals, objectives, and student competencies do not change.
f)
Classroom Etiquette
1. Cellular phones and Beepers must be turned OFF during Final Exam time. In addition, you cannot listen to
music while taking your Final Exam test.
2. NO drinking or eating will be allowed in the classroom during Final Exam time.
3. NO texting is allowed during Final Exam time.
g)
Cheating Policy
Students are expected to uphold the college standard of conduct relating to academic honesty. Students
assume full responsibility for the content and integrity of academic work they submit. The guiding
principle of academic integrity shall be that a student submitted tests, assignments, and exercises must
be that of the student’s own work. Students shall be guilty of violating the honor code by:
1.
Cheating—the misrepresentation of mastery of information on an academic exercise
2.
Plagiarism—the use of someone else’s words or ideas without acknowledging the source
Example:
Nearly all the stories were published during the tenure of former Times Executive Editor, Howell
Raines, who resigned in June in the wake of the Jayson Blair scandal. Raines and former Managing
Editor, Gerald Boyd left after a Times (N.Y. Times 5/26/2004) investigation found fabrications or
plagiarism in dozens of Blair’s stories (War in Iraq).
3.
Representing the work of others as their own (duplication of work)
The penalty for violating the honor code is severe. Any student violating the honor code is subject to
receive a 0 grade for the assignment. If a student is unclear about whether a particular situation may
constitute an honor code violation, the student should meet with Professor Brown to discuss the
situation. Students may not work together on graded assignments. Students may not use or copy
another’s work and represent it as his/her own. If a student needs help on an assignment, contact
Professor Brown, not the classmates.
Page 11 of 21
16. SERVICE LEARNING
Service Learning is a collaborative partnership between Delgado’s students, faculty, & staff with local non-profit
community organizations. Through this partnership, community partners and Delgado resources develop short-term
projects or activities whereby you can actively help and support their needs. Participation in Service Learning helps
students to apply academic concepts from the classroom and real world experiences to help solve needs of our
community partners. Upon project completion, participants earn a deeper knowledge of course content and a personal
satisfaction in serving civic needs. For additional information, access Delgado’s Service Learning web site,
www.dcc.edu/servicelearning.
17. General Information:
There is no acceptable excuse for missing your Final Examination Test. A grade of “0” will be recorded
and averaged for anyone missing the Final Examination.
There are no retakes on the Final Examination. Grades are not posted or given out at the division office.

Saturday class examinations will be Saturday, December 5, 2015 at the regular meeting time except for Saturday math courses for which
campus-wide exams are given Wednesday, December 2, 2015. Students of atypical courses, such as mini-session courses, will be informed
of the final examination date for those courses by the instructor. All final exams, other than lab courses, must be given during the times
indicated on this schedule. All students must arrive on time to the final exam.
**Online courses may have in-person final exams. Students should communicate with their online course instructors for details (date,
place, and time). Please note that the traditional and/or hybrid course exam schedule above takes precedence over in-person online exams.
Again, students should communicate with their online instructors for further information.
