Course Requirement, Policy, and Course Calendar Instructor's Requirements Attendance: Attendance will be taken at the beginning of the class period. If you are late for a class, it is your responsibility to advise me at the end of the class that you were present. Failure to do so on the day in question will result in you being marked absent for that class. Tardiness: Class will start on time, i.e. at 6:00pm every day. It will be greatly appreciated if students arrive in the classroom at least 5 minutes before class start time. It is the student s responsibility to arrive on time for lecture and all examinations. A student who arrives late for an exam will not be allowed additional time to complete the exam. Two tardies or leave-earlies will be counted as an absence. Five absences MAY be cause for dropping a student from the class. Tardy is defined as arriving after I start the class. Please do not disrupt class by coming in late. Important Note: In the Standard Department Syllabus Section, under the Attendance and Withdrawal sub-section, it is clearly stated that You may be dropped after missing 12.5% of a class. 12.5% of 96 hours is equal to 12 hours. Three absences (3 x 4 = 12) is equal to 12 missed hours, therefore a student with three absences has already missed up to 12.5% of this class. Make-up Policy: You are expected to take each of the four exams on the scheduled days. Make-up exams are not guaranteed, but are granted at my discretion. If make-up exams are allowed, it is necessary to make arrangements with me prior to exam date. EXAMS (except Midterm and Final Exams) may be made up only with prior approval of instructor and an acceptable, documented excuse. Late Assignments Policy: Homework assignments will be turned in at the beginning of class on the day that the homework assignment is due. Late assignments will be accepted only with prior approval of instructor and an acceptable, documented excuse. Class rules: We will as a class, be expected to abide by the following rules: Please: 1) Turn OFF your cell phones or, at a minimum, put them on silent mode! 2) Do not use the Internet during lectures or lab times unless specifically requested to locate some information. 3) Do not play games (computer or otherwise) during lecture or lab times. 4) Students may not do their class work or homework while I am lecturing. 5) Note: violations of the above rules may result in student being invited to leave and not be allowed to return without a note from the course s chair-person, saying that no further infractions will occur. 6) All work turned in is to be computer printed with appropriate headings (name, course info, assignment number and date). Course Requirements and Expectations: All students are required to have the prescribed textbooks and lab manuals for this course by the first day of class. Please see Catalog Description and Textbook link below. I expect all students to do well in this class, and we all know that success is achieved through hard work, dedication and commitment. My expectations are high for every Computer Science Technology Department Page 2 of 5
student. Other Information: As an encouragement for students to go attempt the industry certification exam, a student who passes the Microsoft certification examination (Exam 70-698) during the course of the semester, will automatically earn a score of 100 on the final exam, and will also automatically make an A on the course itself.

HCC Grading Scale Grade GPA Points A = 100-90 4 points per semester hour B = 89-80: 3 points per semester hour C = 79-70: 2 points per semester hour D = 69-60: 1 points per semester hour 59 and below = F IP (In Progress) W(Withdrawn) I (Incomplete) AUD (Audit) IP (In Progress) is given only in certain developmental courses. The student must re-enroll to receive credit. COM (Completed) is given in non-credit and continuing education courses. To compute grade point average (GPA), divide the total grade points by the total number of semester hours attempted. The grades "IP," "COM" and "I" do not affect GPA.
