STUDENT ETIQUETTE / ACADEMIC HONESTY
GRCC holds to high ideals of academic and
personal honesty and expects every student to do likewise. Dishonest acts
like cheating, lying, and plagiarism will not be tolerated (see Grand
Rapids Community College catalogue). There is a big difference between
two students working together on a project, and a student simply copying work
from another. In this class no credit will be given for work that has
been copied from another source, and all participation points will be deducted.
AUDIT
If you wish to audit the course (take it for no
credit), you must notify me of your intent within the first four weeks of the
class. An audit means you do not get a grade of "V" or receive
credit for the classes attended and are exempted from taking tests,
examinations, or writing term papers. You may still participate in all
other activities.
WITHDRAWAL
The "withdrawal" process is used to
correct enrollment problems or because of unexpected or unusual events of
catastrophic impact. The student must initiate all drops. A
student may drop a class and receive a "W" until the date of 70% of
class completion. There is no penalty to a student's GPA when receiving a
"W". If student does not drop before the 70% date and stops
attending classes, instructor may assign a WP (Withdraw-Passing), WF
(Withdraw-Failing), or NS (No-Show--never came to class at all). There is
no penalty for a WP, WF, or NS -- however instructor has the right to assign a
grade based on work completed if attendance stops during the final 30% of the
class.
In other words -- if you want to drop, do so before the 70% date through the Registrar's Office. I cannot give you a W. However, if you don't, I can give you an A, B, C, D, E, WP, WF, or NS based upon graded and missed work.
I do not assign incomplete grades. You must finish the course by the end, withdraw, or take a WF.
GRADING AND EVALUATION
Students will be graded on the basis of total
points earned for the assigned projects. There will be 7 folders of materials
each with various assignments and points.
SCHEDULE
Due dates must be followed. You may work
ahead as time allows. Weeks run from Monday to Monday - except for Memorial Day
due Tuesday May 29 and Final Exam week
which is due by June 14 Thursday at Noon.
You may work ahead.
