Basis for Final Grade Software: Assessment Homework myitlab Graded Quizzes myitlab Unit Tests Final Exam Total Percent of Final Grade 30% 20% 30% 20% 100% Page 3 of 17 * Note: This schedule is subject to revision. Grading Scale (%) 90-100 A 80 - 89 B 70 - 79 C 60 - 69 D 0 - 59 F X. 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 will be completed on the myitlab™ site 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: Three (3) assessment exams will be administered during the semester. The exams for 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 myitlab™ web site 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. The grade for a late homework assignment may be 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 three units exams and the final 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 17 * Note: This schedule is subject to revision. Extra Credit Policy: There are two ways to add extra points to your work. There are a total of 10 study guides on the myANC portal and 10 sets of questions at the end of the chapter that cover Common Features, Word 1, 2, and 3; Excel 1, 2, and 3; and PowerPoint 1, 2, and 3. I will add 1 point to your homework grade for each set of questions answered—these must be typed and submitted through email and 1 point for every set of study guides submitted and emailed to me. I will not ask for the questions or study guides; it is your responsibility to submit them to me. Therefore if you answer all 20 sets of questions and study guides, you will add 20 points to the total points of the homework grades, which may possibly raise your score. Grades of “Incomplete”: The current College policy concerning incomplete grades will be followed in this course. Incomplete grades are given only in situations where unexpected emergencies prevent a student from completing the course and the remaining work can be completed the next semester. Your instructor is the final authority on whether you qualify for an incomplete. Incomplete work must be finished by mid-term of the subsequent semester or the “I” will automatically be recorded as an “F” on your transcript. 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 2012 term and receive a “W” (withdraw) is Tuesday, November 20, 2012. 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. XII.

Students who need accommodations must be registered with Johnny Moore in Statehouse Hall, 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. 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. If you are uncertain as to what constitutes academic dishonesty, please consult the Academic Integrity Policy for further details. (http://www.anc.edu/docs/Academic_Integrity_Policy.pdf) 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, 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 Page 7 of 17 * Note: This schedule is subject to revision. 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.
