Grade Dissemination

All course assignments, quizzes, and tests will be completed by accessing an Internet-based assessment and training site called myitlab. Access to the myitlab training site is available by clicking on the myitlab link located on the course homepage. Graded assignments in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint must be uploaded via the portal and scores will be posted on the portal as quickly as possible. Students should prepare for the individual Microsoft applications by reading and completing the step-by-step activities within each project. They should then complete the “grader homework projects and assessments” as indicated on the tentative course schedule. The “course schedule” is found by clicking on a link listed under the Handouts portlet on the course home page. Scores may be accessed at any time by using "myANC Gradebook" in the portal. Please note that scores returned mid-semester are unofficial grades. If you need help accessing myANC

Gradebook, see the online tutorial or contact the ANC Helpdesk by email:

ANChelp@smail.anc.edu

XI.

Course Policies: Grades

Grades:

Five (5) assessment exams will be administered during the semester. With the exception of the

Computer Concepts exam and the Windows Vista exam, the remainder of the exams, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, will be taken by accessing the myitlab™ web site. The assessment exams measure the student’s knowledge of the individual Microsoft© applications. There will be one comprehensive final exam covering Word, Excel, and PowerPoint applications at the conclusion of the semester. The final exam must be taken at the scheduled date and time.

Homework Assignments/Quizzes:

Students will be expected to complete selected chapter homework activities and the associated content-based assessments. All homework assignments should be submitted by way of the myANC portal by the due date (refer to the tentative course schedule). It is the student’s responsibility to complete all course requirements by the prescribed due dates. For the Word,

Excel, and PowerPoint homework assignments, please label each page of the homework according to the instructions given in the assignment. The grade for a late homework assignment is reduced by 10% of the total points possible for each day it is late, up to one week. Homework assignments

that are more than one week late are not accepted.

Make-Up Test Policy:

There are no make-ups for in-class work or unannounced quizzes. All myitlab quizzes and the five assessment tests must be taken on the scheduled date. The student may call the instructor’s phone and leave a voice message or email her if he/she knows of a conflict with any of the scheduled test dates. Failure to notify the instructor in advance forfeits the student’s opportunity to take advantage of this make-up policy. Third party documentation of the reason for missing a scheduled exam may be required. The instructor reserves the right to reject the source of the documentation. A make-up exam, which may be different than the original exam, must be taken during the instructor’s office hours and within one week of the missed exam.

Page 4 of 14

Extra Credit Policy:

Due to the quantity of assigned work required for the course, no additional work will be accepted for extra credit.

Incomplete Grades:

The current college policy concerning incomplete grades is stated below and will be followed in this course:

A grade of “I” (incomplete) is assigned on the final grade roster when a student fails to meet all course requirements for reasons beyond his/her control, i.e., illness of the student, or serious illness or death in the family. Procrastination or pressures of work in other courses are not satisfactory reasons for an “I” grade. The “I” grade will be calculated into the grade point average with the appropriate hours attempted and no quality points earned. Students who do not complete the requirements for removal of the “I” grade by mid-term of the following fall or spring semester will be assigned a grade of “F.”

Students who complete the requirements will have the instructor assigned grade posted to the transcript and the grade point average will be adjusted accordingly.

Withdrawal from Course:

Students who choose not to complete the course are responsible for officially withdrawing from the class. Failure to officially drop the course will result in an “F.” The last day to drop a course for the Fall 2010 term and receive a “W” (withdraw) is Tuesday, November 23, 2010 .

Keys to Success in this Course:

Complete chapter homework assignments and read text thoroughly.

Plan your time wisely so that assignments are completed by the due date.

Expect to spend about two hours working on assignments outside of class for every hour spent in class.

Email the instructor concerning any class material or course requirements that you do not understand. It is imperative that communication lines are always open.

Course Policies: Student Expectations

Disability Access:

Arkansas Northeastern College is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for all persons with disabilities. The First Day Handout is available in alternate formats upon request.

Students with disabilities who need accommodations in this course must contact the instructor at the beginning of the semester to discuss needed accommodations. No accommodations will be provided until the student has met with the instructor to request accommodations. Students who need accommodations must be registered with Johnny Moore in Statehouse Hall, 870-762-3180.

Attendance Policy:

It is to your advantage to be in attendance, and on time, for every class and to allocate appropriate study time each day to insure success in this course. If you must be absent because of illness or an emergency, please refer to the assignment schedule or contact the instructor or a classmate to find out what you missed. Please remember that absences can adversely affect your grade and regular attendance is a proven benefit to learning.

As a courtesy, anyone needing to leave class early should inform the Instructor. Unless authorized by school policy, no one (no children, friends, other students, etc.) may be in the classroom except registered students in this class.

Professionalism Policy:

Cell phones, iPods, etc. must be silenced and put away during all classroom and lab activities.

Students who do not heed this rule will be asked to leave the classroom/lab immediately so as to not disrupt the learning environment. Please complete homework assignments and readings

before class. Plan your time wisely. Expect to spend about two hours working on assignments outside of class for every hour spent in class. Ask questions about any class material that you do not understand. Be attentive during class. Please arrive on time for all class meetings. Students who habitually disturb the class by talking, arriving late, etc., may suffer a reduction in their final class grade.

Academic Integrity Policy:

Academic dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated. If you are uncertain as to what constitutes academic dishonesty, please consult the Academic Integrity Policy in ANC’s Student Handbook

(http://www.anc.edu/docs/anc_handbook.pdf) for further details. Students are expected to do their own work. Plagiarism, using the words of others without express permission or proper citation, will not be tolerated. Any cheating (giving or receiving) or other dishonest activity will, at a minimum, result in a zero on that test or assignment and may be referred, at the discretion of the instructor, to the Department Chair and/or Vice President of Instruction for further action.

No assistance of any kind may be given or received on any graded assignment, quiz, or exam for this course. All quizzes and exams are closed book, “closed neighbor or other class member”, and closed resource of any kind, other than the student’s knowledge, mind, and individual effort.

Unless otherwise specifically authorized, all web-based quizzes, exams, and the final must be taken in the classroom during scheduled class time or scheduled final exam time. Violation of this provision shall constitute cheating, which will result in an undroppable grade of zero for such violation, and will probably result in a course grade of academic F for cheating. Unless otherwise specifically authorized, the only Internet Explorer tab open during any graded quiz, test, exam, or final, must be the Home | Portal for that particular graded quiz, test, exam, or final. Multiple logins to the Home | Portal or accessing any information from the Internet or any other resource during such time shall be classified as cheating, resulting in a grade of zero for that occasion or,

Page 7 of 14

more likely, an academic F for cheating course grade. Opening, or having open, any other computer application shall also constitute cheating, which will probably result in an academic F course grade. Cheating is a zero-tolerance policy with the Instructor of this course. In addition to the above, Financial Aid and the Director of the Business and Technical Division will also be notified of cheating. No advance notice to the student(s) is required and will not be given. The first indication will most likely be posting of a final course grade of academic F. Disciplinary action, including expulsion for cheating, may be recommended.

For purposes of this course, cheating additionally includes, but is not limited to, the willful giving or receiving of information in an unauthorized manner during any graded assignment, quiz, or exam, illicitly obtaining examination questions in advance, copying computer or Internet files or test questions or answers, using someone else’s work for the assignments as if it were one’s own, or any other dishonest means of attempting to fulfill the requirements of this course. It further includes, but is not limited to, intentionally aiding or attempting to aid another in an act of scholastic dishonesty, including but not limited to, providing a paper or project to another student; providing an inappropriate level of assistance; communicating answers to a classmate during an examination; removing tests or answer sheets from a test site, and allowing a classmate to copy answers.

Quizzes, exams, and the final exam start promptly at the time for the start of class. No study or use of any other material is permitted upon entering the classroom for such quiz, exam, or final exam. All texts, notes, or material of any kind must be stored on the floor, out-of-sight, and any electronic devices must be stowed. Except for religious reasons, all caps and head coverings shall be removed and stored out-of-sight during quizzes and exams. Only correct answers to quiz or exam questions are acceptable, irrespective of any mistakes in the text.
