Course Policies:
Students must abide by
policies in the Clayton College & State University Student Handbook.
Students are also expected to abide by the guidelines in the "Basic
Student Responsibilities" document on the registrar's web page.
Cheating in any
form will not be tolerated; all work that you turn in must
be in your own words and must
be your own work. If your brainpower did not generate
what you turn in, it is considered cheating. The following are examples
of cheating: copying the work of another person, allowing another person
to do your assignment, working in a group on a graded item, copying or
closely paraphrasing referenced sources, using anything but your brainpower on
an exam, etc. Cheating in any form will result in a zero on the
assignment and academic misconduct forms will be filed with the Office of
Judicial Affairs for any violation. Judicial affairs procedures can
be found on their website.
Attendance is expected at all
class meetings. Attendance will be taken at each class meeting with the
student's signature on the class roll. Quizzes and tests will be given at the
beginning of the class; if you arrive late, you may be permitted to take the
quiz/exam as long as the materials have not been collected from the class.
However, you will be required to turn in the assignment at the same time as
the rest of the class - NO extra time will be given. Exceptions to this
policy can be made only under extenuating circumstances and with a WRITTEN
excuse or explanation for tardiness or absence.
Absences
from tests must be accompanied by a note from a competent authority (doctor,
judge, etc.). The excuse must be presented upon the first class day that
the student returns to school, and makeup arrangements must be made at that
time. Without a written excuse, no makeups will be
given and zero will be given for the exam. You are only permitted one excused absence from class exams. If you miss more than one with an excuse, you will need to seek a hardship withdrawal as the exams are the majority of the points in the class. Excuses
will not be accepted for routine procedures (checkups, teeth cleanings, eye
exams, etc). Students should not schedule such appointments for class
times.
Make-up
examinations will be given only if they are taken before graded examinations
are returned to students (usually the next class period). In the
event that a make-up examination cannot be taken before exams are returned to
students, the missed examination will not count in calculating the course
grade. This means that other graded work will be responsible for a
greater weight in determining the course final grade.
The
format of make-up exams will be up to the discretion of the instructor.
Regrades:
Any questions concerning grades on an assignment must be submitted within one
week of the assignment being returned to the student.
All electronic
devices including cell phones, palm pilots, pagers, calculators, etc. are not
allowed during exams or quizzes. Possession and/or use of these items
during an exam or quiz will result in a zero on the graded activity.
For
other class assignments, all work is due at the beginning of class. Any
work that is not turned in on the due date will be considered late and
penalized 20%. Assignments will be penalized an additional 20% for each
extra day late. Under no circumstances can an assignment be turned in
more than 5 days late.
There
are NO make-up quizzes.
Each student must activate
his/her e-mail account at
Clayton
College & State
University
. The class list serve will be the only method for communicating with the
class by email. Important announcements will be sent to the class on
the class list serve.
Visitors (friends, children,
etc.) are strictly prohibited from attending class without the permission of
the instructor.
No smoking, eating or drinking
is permitted at any time in the classroom.
