Spring 2019 Course Syllabi

The academic community is based on honesty, integrity, and fair play. It is expected that all students, as members of the college community, adhere to the highest levels of academic integrity. Dishonesty in the classroom and with assignments, quizzes, and exams is a serious offense and is subject to disciplinary action by the instructor and college administration. For more information, refer to the Student Handbook.  Students are responsible for submitting their own work. Violations of academic principles such as cheating, plagiarism, and other academic improprieties will be handled according to the guidelines outlined in the Student Handbook. “ Faculty members have the prerogative of determining the penalty for prohibited academic conduct in their classes. Faculty members may fail the student for the particular assignment, test, or course involved, or they may recommend that the student drop the course in question, or these penalities may be varied with the gravity of the offense and the circumstances of the particular case.”  Students must not cooperate on oral or written exams or quizzes or work collaboratively on other assignments unless authorized by the instructor.  Students will hand in assignments and assessments on the due date specified.  Completion of assigned readings is imperative to your professional development.  Students are expected to attend class and participate in classroom discussions. Lack of attendance and participation will affect your final grade. The student is responsible for the information presented in class whether they are in attendance or not. Confidentiality: The experiences or problems shared by classmates during class time should not be discussed outside of class. This is part of the professional code of ethics. Disabilities and Special Needs: If you have a disability for which you are or may be requesting an accommodation, please contact me as early as possible in the semester so that we can work together to most appropriately meet your needs.
