Chapter Tests 30% 2. Lab Assignments 25% 3. Final Comprehensive Exam 25% 4. Capstone Project 20% Late Work, Attendance and Make Up Work Policies: TESTS will be taken the first hour of class in the classroom. Assignments are due at the beginning of class on the specified date. It is your responsibility to find out what you missed, to turn in assignments on time, to prepare for tests, etc. Students 4

5 should have completed the specified text readings and be prepared for class discussion of Lab Work. Assignments turned in after class on the same day will be docked 10 points; those turned in after the date due will be docked 10 points per day. NO WORK will be accepted more than one week late unless special arrangements have been made with the instructor. BEST BET: DO THE WORK EARLY. If you are going to miss a test, let me know. I will make arrangements for you to take the test. If you miss the test for some emergency reason - let me know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE either by dburgett@mclennan.edu) or by phone ( ). If there is a legitimate reason for missing the test, you may make it up without penalty. If you fail to let me know in a timely way, or do not have a valid excuse for missing the test, you will be penalized for each day you are tardy in taking the test. When you make up the test, you must bring a written note describing the reason for your missing the original test and describing when and how you contacted me about taking the makeup test. The note will count as much as one question. TESTS must be made up before the next class, unless arrangements are made. All tests must be taken in the Micro Lab test center or as a group in the AS 207 classroom.. Student Behavioral Expectations or Conduct Policy: To be successful in this class it is crucial that you as the student carry through with your responsibilities of learning and applying the material. Key to this is: A. reading, understanding and abiding by the Syllabus; B. checking MCC student and the discussion forums daily; C. keeping up with the readings, complete the assigned tutorials, and taking the chapter reviews on time; D. studying appropriately; E. devoting the right amount of time to this class to be successful; F. being conscientious, responsible and accountable; G. contacting instructor with any issues; and H. being professional, courteous and respectful to the instructor and to each other. MCC Academic Integrity Statement: The Center for Academic Integrity, of which McLennan Community College is a member, defines academic integrity as a commitment, even in the face of adversity, to five fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. From these values flow principles of 5

6 behavior that enable academic communities to translate ideals into action. Individual faculty members determine their class policies and behavioral expectations for students. Students who commit violations of academic integrity should expect serious consequences. For further information about student responsibilities and rights, please consult the McLennan website and your Highlander Student Guide. Academic Integrity Statement: I do not tolerate cheating and plagiarism in any form or for any excuse. I expect you to conform the college's code of academic honesty as specified in the Rules and Regulations of the MCC Highlander Guide (Article VII - Proscribed Conduct). This includes cheating, plagiarism, failing to follow instructions, representing someone else's work to be your own or having your work represented as someone else's, using notes or text inappropriately, submitting work not completed individually by the student, and any other form of a dishonest representation of a student's work or performance. While I encourage you to work together, there are situations where work is expected to be the student s whose name appears on the work. Quizzes and exams are obvious examples of where cheating will not be tolerated. All assignments must be completed personally and individually by the student. Do not do any part of someone else's assignment nor allow them to use your work unless specified by in the assignment by me, the instructor. If I suspect you of any misconduct, I will contact you and ask for an explanation. After hearing your explanation, I will then make a decision. If I do find you have cheated or plagiarized, the first offense will be a zero on the assignment. The second offense for cheating and/or plagiarism of any sort is failure of the course. Furthermore, you could also face expulsion from MCC. The course instructor and other MCC personnel will decide consequences of your inappropriate misconduct beyond failure of course. NEW FROM CISCO: Cisco considers using Braindump Test websites/materials to be unethical, illegal and reason for dismissal from the Cisco Academy program. Once a test has begun, you may not open any other website or application until the test has been completed. No materials may be brought to the test. You will be given 3 pages of scratch paper to use as needed, and it must be returned at the end of the test. 6

7 MCC Attendance Policy: Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students, and each instructor will maintain a complete record of attendance for the entire length of each course, including online and hybrid courses. Students will be counted absent from class meetings missed, beginning with the first official day of classes. Students, whether present or absent, are responsible for all material presented or assigned for a course and will be held accountable for such materials in the determination of course grades. In the case of online and hybrid courses, attendance will be determined in terms of participation, as described in the course syllabus. Please refer to the Highlander Guide for the complete policy. ADA Statement: In accordance with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the regulations published by the United States Department of Justice 28 C.F.R (a), MCC s designated ADA co-coordinators, Mr. Gene Gooch - Vice President, Finance and Administration and Dr. Drew Canham Vice President, Student Services shall be responsible for coordinating the College s efforts to comply with and carry out its responsibilities under ADA. Students with disabilities requiring physical, classroom, or testing accommodations should contact Renee Jacinto, Disabilities Specialist, at or rrjacinto@mclennan.edu. 7
