Textbook support website: www.informit.com Software: Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher, or Firefox 3 or higher, and Windows 2000 or higher should be installed on your computer. An ASCII text editor, preferably Notepad, Microsoft Wordpad, or Apple SimpleText will be needed. Handouts: Additional handouts may be required. Instructor will provide information on obtaining this material. Teaching Methods:
Grading: Letter grades will be determined using a standard percentage point evaluation as outlined below. Grades may be curved after the total semester points have been tabulated. However, do not count on a curve to obtain your desired grade.
Total points will be computed as follows. The total points for quizzes, cases, and assignments may vary.
Course Policies: Attendance This course will take place during a 17 week duration. Missing any of the weekly discussions or quick quizzes will adversely influence your ability to fully accomplish the list of student learning outcomes associated with this class. Withdrawal/Incomplete Students are responsible to officially withdraw from classes they are no longer attending. Failure to do so will result in a grade of F or FW to be inscribed in your official record. Incomplete's must be formally requested by means of an Incomplete Contract and, if granted, must be satisfactorily completed by the deadline established by the instructors. Incomplete Grade Contract forms, which are available from the registrar and from academic advisers, should be used for establishing grade contracts in the case of an Incomplete. Incomplete's automatically revert to F if not satisfactorily completed on time. Cheating & Plagiarism Policy Plagiarism is an act of theft committed by a person who is stealing someone else's intellectual property. Plagiarism is an act of dishonesty, whether intentionally or unintentionally, a writer is misrepresenting someone else's words or ideas as his or her own. Intentional plagiarism exists when a student lists sources that he or she has not used; when a student copies from a source but fails to cite it, thereby misrepresenting the original source's idea as his or her own; when a student copies material from another student's work without giving that other student credit; when a student buys or borrows a whole paper or portions of a paper from another student or from the Internet. Unintentional plagiarism, which is also punishable, may exist when a student attempts to paraphrase or summarize a source, but copies too much from the source instead of rewriting the ideas in his or her own words; when a student inadvertently fails to include a parenthetical reference to a source, although the source is listed among the citations at the end of the paper; when a student fails to put quotation marks around quoted material; when a student relies too heavily on external source, thus expressing few or none of his or her own ideas. Students guilty of intentional plagiarism will receive an F for the course. Unintentional plagiarism could result in an F for the assignment. Cheating in any form, on tests or assignments will not be tolerated. If a student is found to be cheating the student will receive an "F" regardless of accumulated points for the class. Make-up Policy for Missed Work Any work missed during this course must be completed by the last day of class. It is the responsibility of the student to inform the instructor if they will not be able to complete any work by the assigned due date. Arrangements will be made between the student and instructor on how the missed work will be turned in and graded. Late Assignment Policy Any late assignments must be discussed with the instructor. The instructor has the option not to accept the late assignments or to reduce the points given. Accommodations for Students with Disabilities Students have the right to request reasonable modifications to college requirements, services, facilities or programs if their documented disability imposes an educational limitation or impedes access to requirements, services, facilities or programs. A student with a disability who requests a 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 Hall 1. Students with a print disability--a visual 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 graphics, audiotape, and/or large print. Students can make alternate media requests through the Disabled Student Programs and Services (DSP&S), (530) 938-5297. Students who consult or request assistance from DSPS regarding specific modifications, accommodations, adjustments, alternate text or use of auxiliary aids will be required to meet timelines and procedural requirements established by the DSPS office. Date and Time of Final Exam The Final Exam for this course will be given on Monday, May 17th, 2010. Completion of Assignments must be by Friday, May 14th, 2010. Any Assignments turned in after 12:00 midnight on Friday, May 14th, will not be graded. |
