METHOD OF INSTRUCTION: Instruction/Hands-on/Demonstration and Training Software (MyITLab)
COURSE REQUIREMENTS: To successfully complete the course, each student will be required to:
Read all assigned print materials
Complete all online homework assignments by 11:30 PM on the due dates
Take all quizzes/exams on assigned dates using MyITLab software
GRADING SYSTEM & COURSE REQUIREMENTS: Grades are determined by successfully completing
Quizzes (30 points), Exams (300 points), and Homework Assignments (180 points).
All quizzes and exams are available in MyITLab.
QUIZZES (30 POINTS) - There are two (2) quizzes early in the semester.
The first quiz is on computer concepts, which is covered in the Basic Computer Concepts chapter. It
consists of 10 multiple choice and/or True-False questions worth 10 points. You have 10 minutes to complete
this quiz. You may take this quiz only once.
CIS 105 Syllabus Summer I (6 week) 2015 – Online --- Page 5 of 15
The second quiz is on Windows 7, which is covered in the Getting Started with Windows 7 chapter. It
consists of 20 multiple choice and/or True-False questions worth 20 points. You have 15 minutes to complete
this quiz. You may only take this quiz once. You do NOT need Windows 7 to take this quiz.
EXAMS (300 POINTS) - There are three exams – one for each Office 2013 application: Word, Excel, and
Access. You do not need access to Office 2013 software to take these three exams.
Each exam consists of two parts.
A. The first part contains 20 multiple-choice questions worth 20 points. You have 20 minutes to
complete this portion. You may take each exam only once. You may not use the text, your notes, or receive
help of any kind while taking this exam. (Violations of this policy subject you to the penalties outlined in the
Academic Dishonesty section given elsewhere in this syllabus.)
B. The second part is a Hands-On (performance) portion worth 80 points. You have 55 minutes to
complete this part of the exam. You may take each exam only once. You use the MyITLab simulation software
to complete 20 to 25 skills, which are directly linked to the learning outcomes. This exam is open book, open
notes, but you may not receive help of any other kind. (Violations of this policy subject you to the penalties
outlined in the Academic Dishonesty section given elsewhere in this syllabus.)
HOMEWORK PROJECTS (180 points) - After completing each Word, Excel, and Access chapter, there is
one MyITLab homework assignment – a Chapter Grader Project – worth 20 points. Please refer to the
detailed ASSIGNMENTS & COURSE CALENDAR below for due dates.
Chapter Grader Project: This homework assignment is completed in the live Office 2013 environment.
(This means, for example, that the Word Chapter 1 Grader Project must be done in Word 2013 – you must
have access to Word 2013 to do this homework. This also applies to the Excel and the Access Chapter Grader
Projects.) You will download the starting files and follow a set of instructions to finish the project. Once the
assignment is completed, you upload your Chapter Grader Project file to MyITLab for automatic grading.
Detailed feedback and grades will be available via the MyITLab grade book and the Submission Report screen.
I will also post a spreadsheet of grades to chart your progress in the course. Each Chapter Grader Project is
worth 20 points.
You may review your grade, make corrections, and resubmit your homework file up to five (5) times
to earn all 20 points. If you are a MAC user, you will NOT be able to complete the Chapter Grader Projects.
You must have access to Office 2013 on a standard PC. (If nearby, you may complete these assignments in
one of our campus Student Computer labs.)
EXTRA CREDIT: No extra credit is available.
I strongly suggest that you print this schedule, since there are many due dates within this 6-week course.
ASSIGNMENTS & COURSE CALENDAR: Red dates = homework assignment(s) due; green dates =

Please inform the instructor of any problems when they arise. However, waiting until the last minute to
complete an assignment, quiz, or exam and encountering unexpected personal or technical issues, does not
automatically extend the deadline for you.
MAKE-UP TEST POLICY: In the event of an emergency, you must notify me as soon as possible that you
cannot take an exam/quiz. You may be required to submit documented evidence of the emergency. If in my
judgment it was a true emergency, a make-up test/quiz date will be determined. Failure to take the test/quiz
at that time will result in a zero grade.
No student may delay the final without prior agreement. No exceptions will be made unless accompanied by a
documented excused absence.
LATE ASSIGNMENT POLICY: It is the responsibility of the student to complete and submit all
assignments on the due date in the manner specified at the time of the assignment. In the event that an
assignment is not submitted by the deadline on the specified due date, no credit will be awarded. No
assignment may be submitted later than the deadline unless you have made prior arrangements or you are
granted an excused absence (you will need documentation). You may work ahead but do not fall behind.
WITHDRAWAL POLICY: The instructor, upon request of the student, will grant a "W" course grade from
the end of the refund period until the midterm period; after the midterm the student will receive a “W”
course grade if he student has demonstrated that he/she participated in the class, completed the required
graded material, and was not dishonest in completing the course work. Otherwise a course grade of “F” will
be assigned at the time of the withdrawal.
In the event you need to drop the class, contact me via your HAWK mail account at jdzales@hacc.edu to
complete the DROP/ADD/WITHDRAWAL form. You MUST complete this form no later than the last day to
drop this course. See the ASSIGNMENTS & COURSE CALENDAR for the date and time. It is up to the student
to be aware of any financial aid consequence of withdrawing from the class.
Students who stop coming to class (not submitting homework for two assignments) will receive a grade of
“F”.
CIS 105 Syllabus Summer I (6 week) 2015 – Online --- Page 9 of 15
TECHNOLOGY DIVISION ATTENDANCE POLICY: The faculty of the Technology Division are
concerned with the total education of the individual and his/her future opportunities in business careers.
Conceptual knowledge, skill, and proficiency are essential for successful business employment and effective
citizenship. Equally important are the qualities of dependability and responsibility. Unless advised otherwise
by their instructor, students should treat their Division classes as they would a career-oriented job they want
to keep. Therefore, students are responsible for all class-related work, assignments, and quizzes/exams.
The determination of the attendance policy for each course is the prerogative of the instructor, as stated in
the instructor's printed course syllabus, subject to the approval of the Division Administrator, which will be
distributed to students during the FIRST class. Circumstances may cause a student to be absent from an oncampus class on occasion, for example; illness, bad weather, accident, etc.
The definitions of absence from the College attendance policy are as follows:
Excused absence - An absence that occurred for reasons that were: a) beyond the student's control to
prevent, and b) significant enough to prohibit attendance in class. Additionally, for the absence to be excused,
the student also must also have contacted the instructor prior to or on the day of the absence. It’s important
to note that, depending on the number or pattern of prior absences, an absence explained as simply ‘personal’
and ‘family emergency’ may not be considered as excused unless sufficient detail is provided to the instructor.
Unexcused absence - An absence that occurred for reasons that were: a) within the student's control
to prevent, and b) not significant enough to prohibit attendance in class, even if uncontrollable. Additionally,
an absence may be considered unexcused if the student does not contact the instructor about the absence
within a reasonable period of time.
The online attendance policies (in sections A. and B. below) further refine/adjust the definition of the
College’s Excused and Unexcused absences:
A.
The student must send the instructor a ‘showing up for class’ e-mail within the first week of class.
Students failing to do so will be considered as having never attended class, and will be withdrawn from the
course by the instructor at that time.
B.
The due date(s) of every: (1) homework assignment, (2) quiz, and (3) exam is a ‘regularly
scheduled class.’ An unexcused absence is defined as missing any one due date of any of these three. For
example, missing the due date of one homework assignment and a quiz is considered two unexcused
absences. Three unexcused absences will subject you to IMMEDIATE withdrawal from the course, unless the
instructor deems that extenuating circumstances exist. This decision rests solely with the instructor, and is
determined on a case-by-case basis.
Students shall not be penalized for absence in regularly scheduled classes, except as indicated below:
1. Students are subject to policies and procedures approved in Administrative Procedure 661. Instructors
requiring physical presence and participation may reduce course grades after the student has unexcused
absence of 10% of the total class hours (four unexcused class hours for a three-credit course).
2. The student is responsible for ALL class work and assignments. Instructors will provide students who have
an excused absence the opportunity to make up missed reports and exams, and if feasible, participation, if an
absence has been excused. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor regarding missed work
and assignments. Instructors may require a student to furnish documentation substantiating that an absence
CIS 105 Syllabus Summer I (6 week) 2015 – Online --- Page 10 of 15
should be considered "excused" if absences become excessive or occur at questionable times (for example, on
the day of an exam).
3. The student is responsible for attendance through online software (MyITLab) on the day of examinations,
unless otherwise excused.
4. Instructors have the right to recommend to the Division Administrator that a student be dropped for an
excessive excused or unexcused absence that precludes the possibility of passing the class whereupon the
student will be given a grade of "F" or "W". Excessive absence is more than 15% of the class hours (three
unexcused class hours for a three-credit course).
The College is required by law to make attendance reports to the relevant agencies of students who are
funded by veterans' benefits, social security payments, and various other federal, state, or private scholarship
programs. Students in programs that are accredited/approved by external agencies must observe these
special attendance policies delineated by the external agencies and contained in the printed course syllabus.
Revised 05/03/05.
Office for Disability Services (ODS) Students who wish to register to receive services from the Office for
Disability Services (ODS) should provide documentation of disability to the campus ODS Director.
Documentation requirements are determined by disabling condition. Three disability categories exist: medical
disabilities, psychiatric disabilities, and learning disabilities. Attention deficit disorder is classified as a medical
disability. In addition, students who are recent high school graduates may submit an evaluation report from
their high school. Documentation should be faxed to 717-780-1115 or sent to: Amy Withrow, Interim Virtual
Campus 2.0 Director of Advancement and Outreach, Harrisburg Area Community College, One HACC Drive,
Harrisburg, PA 17110 717-780-2300 x211591
