HOMEWORK:                                                                              BACK TO TOP

You are expected to keep up with the scheduled reading assignments and lab assignments.  It is necessary to keep up with your lab assignments since new assignments build upon previous assignments.  Lab assignments have strict deadlines.  Late assignments will NOT be accepted after the deadline and are closed in myitlab.  Check the dates in the Class Schedule section  of this course syllabus and in myitlab.  Lab assignments instructions will be posted on TalonNet.

ATTENDANCE:                                                                            BACK TO TOP

Attendance is very important.  Please read the attendance policy in the class schedule at www.cerritos.edu .  Students may be dropped from the class if they are considered to be excessively absent. 

For traditional (on campus) classes excessive absences will be defined as 3 class meetings.

For online and hybrid classes attendance will be based upon doing the online activities such as the readings, assignments, discussions, quizzes, and tests as assigned by the deadlines.  You may be dropped if you fail to do 3 activities. 

EXAMS:                                                                                          BACK TO TOP

Exams will NOT be "made-up."  The only exceptions will be for authorized or excused absences or foreseeable absences.  If you know you will not be able to attend class on a day when an exam is being given, you may take it one week prior to the scheduled date.  You must notify me two weeks in advance to arrange to take the exam prior to the scheduled date.

ACADEMIC HONESTY/DISHONESTY POLICY:

Please be sure to read the college’s Academic Honesty/Dishonesty Policy found in the catalogue.  A copy of the catalogue is located at www.cerritos.edu .  How does it apply to this class?  For tests be sure to study and answer questions on your own without help from other students.  For the homework assignments make sure you create your own files from scratch and do your own typing.  I know some of you work together, share books and computers.  That’s OK.  What is not OK is having one person type up the assignment and then submitting it (file or printed document) for multiple students.  Trust me I have ways of figuring it out if you are cheating in this manner.  If I determine that you are cheating, then I will do one of the following actions as stated from the college’s policy:

One or more of the following actions are available to the faculty member who suspects a student has been cheating or plagiarizing:

1. Review-no action.

2. An oral reprimand with emphasis on counseling toward prevention of further occurrences.

3. A requirement that work be repeated.

4. A reduction of the grade earned on the specific work in question, including the possibility of no credit for the work.

5. A reduction of the course grade as a result of item 4 above, including the possibility of a failing grade for the course.

6. Referral to the Office of Judicial Affairs for further administrative action, such as suspension or expulsion.
