General Course Policy

Please make sure that you read the syllabus in its entirety. By signing the syllabus you agree to abide by the course policies. -No Food /Drinks Allowed to the Lab. Make-ups

- There is no make ups for labs, practicum, or tests unless your professor has other labs covering the same material you missed during that week. - The opportunity of doing a make up test will be given no later than the next scheduled class and only with a medical excuse or other satisfactory excuse. - The make up has to be arranged by the student as soon as possible. - A missed test or practicum will be granted a grade of 0. - There is a 10 point penalty for each make up test. - If the student misses one of the practicums for a medical reason, the student needs to sign an incomplete form and take that practicum before the end of the term in order to obtain a final grade or the final grade will be F. - It is not possible to have an incomplete grade if the student is not passing the class (at least a C). - There is no make up for collaborative learning activities. The collaborative learning activities have to be done during the class time in groups. - Traveling such as, vacations, family reunions, weddings are not excusable absences. There are no make ups, NO EXCEPTIONS!

Attendance

-A student who is consistently absent from class & does not make the attempt to communicate with the instructor will be purged from the class student roster after two absences . - Four tardies will count as one absence. - Each undocumented absence reduces your score (grade) for that test by one point. - Perfect attendance (zero absences, zero tardiness), will be rewarded by having an additional 4 points added to your grade. - Students who are consistently absent to the classes and have not made attempts to communicate with the instructor will be purged from the class roster in accordance to the academic & administrative calendar. - A student who leaves the class, while it is in session, without the aproval of their instructor will have lower final grade. - Any student who is not in the room when a quiz or practicum begins, will have to wait outside until the quiz or practicum is over.

General course policy

The professor reserves the right to expel disrupting students from the classroom at any time, ask students to surrender their electronic devices and request disciplinary action from the Dean for Academic Affairs and even assign a failing grade to those who display such anti-pedagogic behavior Please note that frequently material may be discussed in class that is not in the text or the emphasis may differ from that of the text or syllabus. Test dates and assignments may also be announced or modified in class. Academic dishonesty will impact your grade. ACADEMIC DISHONESTY POLICY 4074 OF THE STUDENTS’ RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITY HANDBOOK WILL BE FOLLOWED IF A STUDENT ENGAGES IN UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR. Unethical behavior includes, but not limited to the following: 1. Cheating on examinations, taking information or allowing information to be taken from your test. Usage of any electronic devices(Cell Phone,Ipads,Tablets,etc,,,) is not . . permitted,in the class, specially during the test. 2. Receiving help from others in work to be submitted, if contrary to the stated rules of the course. 3. Plagiarism 3 If a student is involved in any form of academic dishonesty one or both of the following will be imposed: 1. A failing grade for the course (F) 2. Disciplinary probation.

Please ensure that you are on time for scheduled tests. These are all timed and given at the start of the lecture period. No additional time will be given to latecomers. Also if a student has completed the test and left the room before you enter, you will not be allowed to sit the test. This will be counted as a missed test.

Course Participation

The students are expected to come to class having read and done the assigned material in the lab books and/or handouts. The students are required to bring the lab manual to class.

Drop Policy

It is the responsibility of the student to drop the course. The final grade may be affected by attendance record and lack of particitpation. Causing distractions or disruptions may affect the final grade (i.e., cell phone usage, execissive talking). Any behavior not in agreement with the “student code of conduct policies” can produce a lower final grade in the course. The student is expected to get to class on time and remain until class is dismissed. The student who has two consecutive absences without notifying the professor will be dropped.

Note: Please review the academic dishonesty policy wich can be found in the MDC website. Procedure 4035

Please visit: http://www.mdc.edu/policy/student rights and resposabilities.pdf

The professor will assign places in the lab during classes, quizes, practicums and collaboratives learning activities.

H ow to succeed in this course

 Attend class regularly  Be present when class begins and ends  Read and do the exercises assigned from the lab text book  Read the chapter before the lab  Dedicate ample time to your studies  Be on time for test  Do not interrupt class by chatting with your classmates  Assume responsibility for your own learning  Be eager to learn 4  Watch the videos assigned  Do not bring audible devices such as pagers, cellular phones, ipods, etc  Do not bring food or beverages to class  Place your book bags in the assigned cabinet when you enter the room, only keeping your lab book, pen or pencil
