success. Supervised support is offered

staff, use of Windows XP Professional, use of Windows 2000 Professional, using
Internet Explorer to navigate the worldwide web, and exploration of course
CD-ROM or course software. Student use of
the support hour will be assessed, as outlined in the Grading section above.

I expect and demand integrity and honesty

to drop anyone that I feel violates this trust.

I expect people to attend class, to be on
time, and to be courteous and polite if late.
I reserve the right to drop any student that has missed three or more
class meetings. If you have an emergency
that comes up, please see or call me. It
is your responsibility to understand and follow these guidelines, they are not
negotiable! You must make arrangements with me prior to the quizzes if you cannot

Students have the right to request
reasonable modifications to college requirements, services, facilities or
programs if their documented disability imposes an educational limitation or

modification, accommodation, or adjustment is responsible for requesting
necessary accommodations by identifying himself/herself to the instructor and,
if desired, to the Disabled Student Programs and Services(DSPS) office Eddy

limitation or reading difficulty that limits access to traditional print
materials--may request printed materials in alternate media. Examples of alternate media formats include
electronic format(e.g., text on CD), Braille, tactile

requests through the Disabled Student Programs and Services (DSP&S) Eddy
