Instructional Methods
A combination of classroom
lectures/discussions, hands-on chapter exercises and labs, quizzes, and chapter
tests will be utilized to help you gain proficiency in the application of
computer concepts and principles.
Hands-on Chapter Projects
You will be responsible for
reading and understanding each assigned chapter. Each assignment should be properly labeled.
On any assignments to be
handed in, make sure your name and exercise number appears in the upper-right
corner. If an exercise has multiple sheets, then staple them together.
Do not staple different assignments together. Disorganized assignments (pages
out of order, mislabeled, unreadable, etc.) make my job more difficult. If
there are multiple sheets are to be handed in, then sequence them according to
the order you were told to print them in the exercise.
Course Policies
Hands-on Classroom Rules:
This class will be held in
a computer classroom and the following rules must be understood and followed:
1. NO FOOD OR DRINK ALLOWED IN THE CLASSROOM AT
ANYTIME!!!!!!
2. Computers and equipment have the sole purpose of
providing class-related activities. Do
not install ANY software or make any changes to the computers unless
instructed to do so.
3. Please arrive on time and expect to stay the entire
class period.
4. Please do not use your computer during class
discussions unless told to do so.
5. Turn in your assignments on time! Use the class time wisely. If you miss class, it is your responsibility
to get your assignments done outside of class.
6. Please pay attention during class instructions and
demonstrations.
7. Unless directed otherwise, use the same computer
each class.
8. Use courtesy when using the printer, it is shared.
9. If you have questions please ask the instructor
instead of disturbing your neighbor.
Examination Policy:
Two examinations will be
given. No make-up exams will be allowed without prior arrangements being made.
Make-up exams must be taken when scheduled.
Three
quizzes will be given with the lowest score being dropped. Quizzes must be taken the night scheduled
and CANNOT be rescheduled.
Late Assignment Policy:
Laboratory assignments
should be handed in immediately BEFORE lecture begins on the
specified due date. Laboratory assignments handed in after lecture begins are
considered late. No assignments will be
accepted more than one week late. Late assignments receive a 50% penalty.
Cheating
Policy:
Students
are expected to uphold the school’s standard of conduct relating to academic
honesty. Students assume full responsibility for the content and integrity of
the academic work they submit. The guiding principle of academic integrity
shall be that a student's submitted work; examinations, reports, and projects
must be that of the student's own work. Students shall be guilty of violating
the honor code if they:
1. Represent the work of others as their own.
2. Use or obtain unauthorized assistance in any
academic work.
3. Give unauthorized assistance to other students.
4. Modify, without instructor approval, an examination,
paper, record, or report for the purpose of obtaining additional credit.
5. Misrepresent the content of submitted work.
The penalty for violating
the honor code is severe. Any student violating the honor code is subject to
receive a failing grade for the course and will be reported to the Office of
Student Affairs. If a student is unclear about whether a particular situation
may constitute an honor code violation, the student should meet with the
instructor to discuss the situation.
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. Such collaboration constitutes cheating.
A student may not use or copy (by any means) another's work (or portions of it)
and represent it as his/her own. If you need help on an assignment, contact
your instructor, not other classmates.
Incomplete Policy:
Incompletes will only be
considered in the most extreme cases of hardship.
Make-up Policy:
Make-up exams will be given
ONLY in the most extreme cases of hardship or unavoidable interruption of
participation. These are handled on an individual basis.
Any
acts of classroom disruption that go beyond the normal rights of students to
question and discuss with instructors the educational process relative to
subject content will not be tolerated, in accordance with the Academic Code of
Conduct described in the Student Handbook.
The Student Code of Conduct is available on the web at http://www.kctcs.edu/student/code.htm.
Only
in extreme cases are children allowed in classroom or laboratory facilities,
and then only with approval of the instructor prior to class.
Cellular
phones, pagers, CD players, radios, and similar devices are prohibited in the
classroom and laboratory facilities. Calculators and computers are prohibited
during examinations and quizzes, unless specified. Reasonable laptop-size
computers may be used in lecture for the purpose of taking notes.
Attendance Policy:
Regular attendance and
punctuality are expected for successful completion of this course. Good attendance will translate into better
grades, higher retention of subject matter, and greater success. Since much of
the work is done in class under the supervision of the instructor, poor
attendance will usually translate into poor grades. It is the student’s full responsibility to contact the instructor
in reference to all missed work incurred while absent.
Withdrawal Policy:
The last day for a student
to officially withdraw from class with a grade of "W" at his or her
discretion is September 16, 2002. After September 16, the instructor may grant
a W, WP, or WF. Note: WF’s are
averaged into you GPA the same as an F.
Inclement Weather Policy:
In cases of inclement
weather please listen to area radio and television stations for cancellations.
If you have a documented disability and need any type of
accommodation, you are required to register with the Disability Resource
Coordinator. Contact Valerie Wolfe,
Disability Resource Coordinator, Room 112 LRC, 270-824-1670.
This syllabus is tentative and subject to change at the
discretion of the instructor to meet class needs.
