Course
Policies:
Ø Be respectful of your instructor and
fellow classmates at all times.
Ø As a courtesy, please do not talk,
type, or print while the instructor is talking to the class or when a student
is asking a question which pertains to the class.
Ø Refrain from “surfing” the Web
during class, unless directed by your instructor.
Ø Turn off cell phones and pagers.
Ø Refrain from bringing food and drink
into the classroom.
Ø You are encouraged to work with
other students to solve problems. However, you must complete your own work.
Ø It is the students' responsibility
to make any arrangement necessary to obtain a personal tutor. The instructor
will not be the student's personal project designer to design and develop the
student's personal/business (project). The student is required to learn the
course concepts, and then create and develop their own personal/business
project. The student must design and develop their projects independently, and
use the online course information and the instructor as guidelines. The
instructor will not install software on the student's personal computer at the
students' home or business. The students are responsible and accountable for
their own personal property. No cell phones, recorders, camcorders, or any
other electrical device is allowed in the classroom without the permission of
the instructor. No food, guests, or children are allowed without the permission
of the instructor or the Business Office.
Missed Classes: The student is responsible for obtaining material distributed on class days when he/she was absent. This can be done through contacting a classmate who was present or by contacting the instructor during his office hours or other times. Missed or late quizzes can not be made up under any circumstances but with good cause and adequate notice, an early quiz may be given. One quiz (lowest score) will be dropped at the end of the semester.
Assignments: All assignments are due at the beginning of class on the date due. Late submission of assignments will be assessed a penalty of 10% per day. No exceptions are made.
Academic Dishonesty: Plagiarism and cheating are serious offenses and may be punished by failure on exam, paper or project; failure in course; and or expulsion from the University. For more information refer to the "Academic Dishonesty" policy in the University Undergraduate Catalog. For this class, it is permissible to assist classmates in general discussions of computing techniques. General advice and interaction are encouraged. Each person, however, must develop his or her own solutions to the assigned projects, assignments, and tasks. In other words, students may not "work together" on graded assignments.
Need for Assistance: If you have any condition, such as a physical or learning disability, which will make it difficult for you to carry out the work as I have outlined it, or which will require academic accommodations, please notify me as soon as possible.
Internet Support: Check the class Web page for additional information about Office 2003, or to post a question about this course.
Posting of Grades: Final grades will not be posted. If you wish to have your final grade sent to you, please bring a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the final exam.
Incomplete Policy: Students will not be given an incomplete grade in the course without sound reason and documented evidence as described in the Student Handbook. In any case, for a student to receive an incomplete, he or she must be passing and must have completed a significant portion of the course.
