You MUST plan on spending some time at Lees College Campus or at Hazard Campus to use the
BOSON software unless you purchase it yourself!
Other supplies will needed for group projects, but these will be determined by the group and the project.
A PC with an fast internet connection at home is preferred.
If not available, then you MUST plan on spending more time at the college to complete assignments.
Dial up Internet, will make this class difficult! .
Required Software-Hardware:
The course requires that you have Microsoft Office [Microsoft Word, Excel, Microsoft Access] BEFORE
beginning the course. Do not even consider taking the course if you do not have MICROSOFT OFFICE
available and ready to go.
[If you have MICROSOFT Word & Excel but not MICROSOFT Access it may be possible to get a free copy of Access if you act at once].
It is of course perfectly acceptable to plan to do all of your work from your KCTCS campus during the
hours that they are regularly open. You do not have to do anything from home or buy any computer or
software.
If you plan on doing work at home, then you must have an alternate plan for getting assignments done in
case of a computer or software problem. Computers break down. Internet connections go out.
Software gets messed up. Part of taking this course is having the proper software and hardware
Office of Academic Affairs, 12/8/2006

and an alternate plan for breakdown times. The college campus computer labs are open many hours
during each day and are available for you to use.
Microsoft Office software has been available for about $90 [more than 75% off]. College Bookstores have had the info on how
to order. If you buy elsewhere you will likely pay more and may not get all programs.
Microsoft Access, used later in the course, may be available free of cost - check with Brad whose office is in Telford on the
Lees Campus of HazCTC ext. 73566. The procedure involved takes time - start at the beginning of the semester if you plan
on this.
Lab Exercises: This course will require additional lab time to complete the labs for the course. Please check with instructor
for additional lab times that you may be available.
Lab Exercises: Students engaging in labs will be required to use a variety of tools, use ladders, drills, and other networking
equipment.
Internet Assignments: Many of my assignments require Internet Access. Please plan appropriately to complete
any work that requires access to the Internet. Not having a computer at home or Internet problems at home is not
an acceptable excuse.

Attendance Policy
Acceptable college/business behavior is a part of this course. Missing class/work without notifying the teacher or
supervisor is not acceptable. After 3 hours of absences: absence without checking with the teacher before
the next class may result in a deduction of 3 points from your semester average for each hour of absence.
Three or more absences without contacting the teacher and making the work up, is considered excessive (too
many). If too many absences occur, I reserve the right to administratively withdraw a student from class. Students
need to inform instructor if they need to leave class early. Otherwise they will be counted as absent and quizzes,
tests, homework will not be graded for that day. Each student is expected to contact the instructor before the next
class period and make-up any labs, homework, or lecture so they may be prepared for the next class session. If a
student fails to do so, then continuing with the class will be difficult and may result in them being unable to
complete the course successfully. I reserve the right to assign a grade of “E” to any student coming to class with,
or under the influence, of illegal drugs or alcohol; is unruly, rude, or exhibits violent behavior.
Note: On days when attendance is taken, this may be worth additional points that can decrease a students’ average
if they are not in class and do not have an excused absence.
Inclement Weather Policy
During periods of inclement weather, all classes scheduled BEFORE 9:30 a.m., will be cancelled. Students will be asked to report at 9:30
for their 9:30 classes. The classes that are cancelled will be made up according to a manner that the individual faculty member has
determined and which has been approved in advance by the appropriate Division Chair and Dean; this makeup policy should be clearly
stated in the course syllabus. Students should still use their best judgment in reporting to class. Never endanger your
life or someone else’s.
Academic Honesty Policy
KCTCS faculty and students are bound by principles of truth and honesty that are recognized as fundamental for a community of teachers
and scholars. The college expects students and faculty to honor, and faculty to enforce, these academic principles. The college affirms that
it will not tolerate academic dishonesty including, but not limited to, violation of the academic rights of students (section 2.0) and student
offenses (section 3.0).
Complaint/Appeal Procedure (If you have a concern, please see your faculty member first and then follow the division structure to
resolve the issue.)

For information about academic rights and academic offenses and the student’s right to appeal, students should be referred to the KCTCS
Code of Student Conduct found on-line at http://www.kctcs.net/student/code.htm
Withdrawal Policy
Students may withdraw up to midterm and receive a grade of “W” without the instructor’s permission.
After the date set as
midterm, the student will receive whatever grade they have earned in class. If there are extraordinary
circumstances, then I may give a grade of “W” if a student withdraws before the last class period begins. I
will be happy to discuss your grades with you at any time during the semester. I reserve the right to
Administratively withdraw any student for disrupting class, or excessive absences (see Other Class Policies &
Class Attendance) or disrupting class (see Other class policies). An instructor shall not assign a student a W grade
for a class unless the student has officially withdrawn from that class. If a student has not completed the course
requirements and has not withdrawn or received an “I” grade, then that student must receive a grade of “E”.
Accommodations Policy
Students needing accommodations should contact the local disabilities service representative to complete an Accommodations Plan which
will ensure that the student receive full benefits and that the instructor is aware and can make the proper adjustments in his/her courses for
the student. Hazard Community & Technical College contacts are as follows: Hazard Campus, Knott County Branch, Leslie County
Center, and the Technical Campus – see Doug Fraley and at the Lees College Campus – see Cluster Howard.
Every effort is being made to meet the ADA 508 and W3C guidelines but if you find any distance learning class to be limiting in any way
please contact the course instructor and the Disability Services Representative, Hazard Community and Technical College, One
Community College Drive, Hazard, KY 40351; phone (606)-487-3086; email: doug.fraley@kctcs.edu.
Evaluations Methods
A=100%-90%, B=89%-80%, C=79%-70%, D=69%-60%, E below 60%
Required Assignments/Labs, Quizzes, Tests, and Final Exam will be averaged together to receive final grade
based on the following scale (homework and labs 50%, quizzes 10%, and tests 25% and final exam 15%). I
reserve the right to increase any student’s final grade by as much as 5% based on the following criteria:
attendance, tardiness, attitude, effort, and helpfulness to other students as evaluated by the teacher. No
“objective” grade will be lowered by subjective criteria; a few grades may be raised.
Note: I reserve the right to assign a grade letter of a “D” to any student who has excellent class attendance,
excellent class participation, has attempted all exams, quizzes, and has attempted at least 50% of all homework.
Note: No student with six or more zeros for homework, quizzes, or tests shall receive a grade of an ‘A’. For
example, if a student is missing three homework assignments and one quiz, then that students’ maximum grade
can only be a ‘B’.
Make-up Policy:
It may be possible to make up homework, quizzes, and tests if student has properly communicated with the
instructor. See attendance policy. If a homework assignment is missed, then the original work must be completed. Exams, quizzes,
projects, presentations or other work may not be the same as given to rest of class. Student should check with the instructor to determine
when the work is due depending upon the task, length of class, and time left for the class to meet the objectives.
Homework
Assignments will have due dates. You are expected to have all homework completed by those dates. If your
homework is not finished by the due date, you still MUST complete it. However, the grade will be reduced by a
flat 20% if turned in before the next class period. If turned in after the next class period the homework was due,
then the maximum score awarded for the late homework assignment will be 50%. No late homework will be
accepted after three class periods from when the assignment was originally due. A zero will be given. The
exception to this is during the last week of school. No LATE homework will be accepted or graded during the last
Office of Academic Affairs, 7-25-2007
4
week for the course. With a doctor excuse, full credit will be given for late homework. If you know you will not
be able to attend class, please let me know ahead of time so that arrangements can be made regarding coursework
Note: Loss of private personal computer or loss of private internet connectivity is NOT an excuse for not having
homework completed and turned in on time. The college provides computers and open lab time so students can
complete homework. If software or hardware is not correctly working in the labs, libraries, or learning center
then please let the coordinator at each location know so the problem may be quickly resolved.
Note: Homework is NOT accepted during Final Exam Week unless proper documentation that is allowed by
HCTC is provided along with the homework. If no documentation is provided, then the homework is not
acceptable.
Note: Students are required to keep a notebook with all of your homework assignments, tests, quizzes,
scoring sheet and any study materials that I assign. The homework needs to have the chapter and
section clearly labeled on the top of each page. Notebooks will be checked randomly, so have them
with you every class. Notebooks will be evaluated for completeness of the homework, completed study
materials, completed score sheets, and quizzes and tests present. All returned work should be kept within
the notebook in chronological order (oldest to newest). If any student wishes to review their grades with
me then they are required to have their notebook (in order) with them. I will be happy to review grades
with any student as time allows.
Keep all returned quizzes, tests, homework, etc. until the semester grade has been received. All homework
disk files must be available throughout the semester, during the last week of class, and during the final exam to
receive the homework credit; credit previously assigned is tentative until semester end and it is the students’
responsibility to be able to demonstrate all work returned to them by the instructor to receive credit for final grade
computations.
Other Class Policies
Homework Guidelines:
 If a website is provided, then you are expected to check the website for homework assignments on a
daily basis. Unless otherwise noted, class information will be posted at :
http://216.69.13.12/faculty/JBRYANT0001/fall2007/index.htm then select the appropriate section.
 Be sure to put your name, class, section, date, and email on homework documents. ALWAYS!!!
 If a single assignment is multiple pages, then staple all of the pages that make up the single
assignment together in the upper left corner.
 I will NOT accept multiple page assignments that are not stapled together (paperclips and bending
over the pages are not acceptable).
 If multiple page homework papers are turned in and not stapled together, then I reserve the right to
NOT grade them and assign a grade of Zero for those assignments. I am not responsible for keeping
your homework organized and for submitting it correctly.
 Do NOT staple different assignments together. Keep each assignment separate.
 Students are expected to bring a stapler, pencil, and paper to each class. Do NOT rely on a stapler
being in a classroom.
 Students are expected to have homework completed, printed, signed, etc before class starts.
Start of Each Class:
 Students are expected to have prepared themselves for each class period by completing homework,
reviewing notes, reading textbook, or other method in order to be prepared for each class session.
 Students are expected to sign into their computer and be prepared to continue class.
Office of Academic Affairs, 7-25-2007
5

If a student comes in late, quietly sit down, sign into the computer, and continue with class. Please
speak with the instructor after class to see what they missed and to explain their tardiness.
Email Guidelines:
 All emails MUST contain a subject line that is appropriate to the content of the email.
 If it is an assignment that is being submitted via email, then the subject line must contain the Course
Number, Student Name, and Assignment Number.
 Do NOT use emoticons in an email message.
 Do NOT use the Outlook stationary.
 Emails should be submitted with a plain white background.
File Submission Guidelines: Any homework file being submitted via email as an attachment should be sent with
the following syntax: StudentFirstName_StudentLastName_CourseNumber_Homework_Assignment. For
example, if a student is submitting a course for CIS 100 and the assignment is #5, then the file name would be:
John_Doe_CIS100_5.doc. This will help both the student and the instructor to organize and keep assignments
clearly identified.
Communication: Please feel free to speak to me anywhere on campus. I want to help you succeed in class. If
you do need to contact me outside of class, then use the following guidelines:
 Check in my office which is located at Jackson Hall, 2nd floor, first door on right, going down the
right hallway.
 Knock if my door happens to be shut and look for a note on my door to let you know where I am
currently located. Leave me a note on my door if possible.
 If you are off campus, then call me at 1-606-666-7521 x 73548 and if on campus extension 73548.
 Please leave me a voice message I do not answer the phone.
 If you wish to email you back or return your phone call, then say your phone number or email address
slowly and say it twice so that I can accurately obtain the information.
 I am often either in my office, in the cafeteria, in the Telford Computer Center, or in room 301/302 of
the Smith Administration Building. You are welcome to look for me in any of these locations.
Class Tutors or Additional Help: HCTC attempts to provide tutors for many of the college courses. Tutors are
generally provided for CIS 100 courses. You may find these tutors in the following locations: Please check with
instructor for summer classes concerning tutoring schedules.
 Telford Computer Center
 Learning Resource Center
If you are in an advanced computer course, then ask the instructor if tutoring is available for that course. Even
though the college may not have a tutor currently available, if you need extra assistance, then please let your
instructor know so they may try to arrange for extra help.
Extra credit assignments are available upon request and awarded ONLY if you have all of your homework
assignments turned in. If you are missing an assignment, work on that assignment first! Extra credit is NOT
MAKE-UP work for class assignments.
Wireless Devices: I realize many people pack wireless devices, but for this class having cell phones, pagers, and
audible alarms ‘on’ while class is in session will not be tolerated. Accepting phone calls and receiving pages
while class is in progress is disruptive to any learning environment and are a great distraction to other students,
the instructor, and can seriously disrupt the class session. On the 1st offense you will be warned, on the 2nd
offense you will be counted as absent from class which can lower your final grade after 3 absences from
class, and on the 3rd offense you will be administratively withdrawn and grade of “E”, “W” will be assigned.
Office of Academic Affairs, 7-25-2007

I understand there are often urgent situations in which these devices are needed. If there is an urgent situation
(e.g family member is extremely sick) that you are aware of and you know you are expecting a message, then
please let me know ahead of time. In those cases, I will be glad to work with you so that the class disruption is
minimized. Otherwise, if you feel you must use these devices while class is in session, then please feel free to
drop this class. Please see the Student Code of Conduct: http://www.kctcs.net/student/studcode.htm if you have
questions regarding student behavior.
Eating and drinking: Food and drinks are not normally permitted inside the computer labs. However, for
medical reasons drinks with screw-on-lids may be kept. Check with instructor first concerning drinks and food.
For those with children: I understand there may be times during the semester when it is impossible for you to
come to class without your kids. These times must be kept to a minimum and cannot create a distraction to the
class. If a distraction occurs, then you are expected to resolve the situation calmly. I will work with you outside
of class to ensure you can achieve the course goals.
Classroom Behavior: How we act portrays a lot about us. Behavior in class should be that becoming an adult in
an educational environment that demonstrates professionalism and courtesy to the instructor and other students. I
reserve the right to reduce the over all grade average by 5% for each occurrence for any student who exhibits the
following unacceptable behaviors while in class: personal conversations while class is in session, viewing
material other than what is being discussed, flirting or touching in class, unruly or boisterous attitudes,
consistently being tardy, exiting class early, being overly talkative, being disrespectful to other classmates, being
rude to instructor or classmates, intentionally harming another classmate, or other behavior that could reduce the
learning experience for yourself or others in the class.
KCTCS faculty and students are bound by principles of truth and honest that are recognized as the fundamental
for a community of teachers and scholars. The college expects students and faculty to honor, and faculty to
enforce, these academic principles. The college affirms that it will not tolerate academic dishonesty including, but
not limited to, violation of the academic rights of students (section 2.0) and student offenses (section 3.0). For
information about academic right and academic offenses and the student’s right to appeal, students should refer to
the KCCS Code of Student Conduct found on-line at http://www.kctcs.edu/studetn/code.htm/
I personally feel very strongly about cheating and copying. E will be given. You are expected to do your own
work! For complete information on student academic rights, see the Student Code of Conduct at

College Campus. He has explained the syllabus to me. I understand the requirements of the course and
understand that if during the course of the semester that I should have any problems relating to this class, I will
contact Mr. Bryant to see what arrangements can be made. I also understand if I drop the course I will receive
a grade according to the rules explained in the syllabus. I also understand in order to withdraw from Mr.
Bryant’s course I have to submit the appropriate paperwork to student services before I can be withdrawn from
the roster. I also understand that Mr. Bryant has the authority to administratively withdraw me for excessive
absenteeism and for disrupting class and other reasons outlined in the syllabus. I further understand that
professional behavior is expected and unruly, rude, violent behavior or other behaviors as outline in the
syllabus or student code of conduct will earn me a grade of “E” for the class. See Classroom Behavior Section
in syllabus. Failure to be withdrawn from class by the appropriate deadline, will cause the grade I have earned
to be placed on my permanent college record.
I understand all of the items listed above, this day of August _____, 2007.
