Class participation

Students should have prerequisite knowledge of the course and properly
prepare for each class including reading the assigned readings before

While the textbook is adequate, many times additional coding examples and
different author presentations in additional texts provide students with
a better understanding of materials covered in CIS2161.
Attendance
If a student misses in excess of five (5) days or misses more than
ten (10) percent in any course (class or lab) during a quarter, the
student is subject to being suspended from the course(s) involved. Three
(3) tardies equals one (1) absence.
If a student misses more than ten
(10) percent of a class, the student is considered absent for that class.
Students will be notified by their instructor when they accumulate 6
absences and will have two (2) days after that notification to provide
written documentation to their instructor justifying those absences. If
this documentation is not received or the documentation is not suffice,
the student will be suspended from the course.
A student who has been suspended from a course has the right to
appeal in writing and will remain in school during the appeal process.
Please see the attendance policies in the student handbook for more
information.
Work Ethics
Students will receive work ethics grades (0 = unacceptable,
1 = needs improvement, 2 = meets expectations, or 3 = exceeds
