A. Attendance:

1. Class attendance is required. Materials distributed during class will not be brought to next class meeting.

a. Failure to attend at least 90% of the scheduled class meetings will be reflected

on course grade.

b. Bonus points (20) will be added to final grades of students with perfect

attendance. Bonus points will be diminished by 5 points for each absence.

c. Students having more than 4 absences during the semester will receive no

attendance bonus points.

d. Students having more than 4 absences will have 5 points deducted from grade

for each absence in excess of four.

e. To be eligible for bonus credit, a student must be in attendance at least 1 hour and 45 minutes of the class meeting being considered.

The sign-in sheet will be the official roll check for each class meeting.

2. Electronic communication devices shall be turned off when entering class.

Cell phones MAY NOT be used in class.

B. Withdrawal: "W"

Should you find it necessary to withdraw from the course, do so yourself. Do not depend upon the instructor to drop you, although it is a prerogative of the instructor to do so for lack of sufficient progress and/or failure to meet exam deadlines. The decision to drop the course should be communicated to instructor, in writing, then the student should complete the drop procedure at the Admissions and Records Office. Final withdrawal date for this course is November 18, 2010.

SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES FOR RECEIVING A W IN A COURSE: The Texas Legislature has now, for the second session in a row, instituted some substantial consequences for students who withdraw from courses. Students have traditionally thought of a W as a non-penalty grade, thus it is very important that students understand the direction that the state is going about withdrawals so that they can avoid substantial negative consequences later.

Per state law, students enrolling for the first time in Fall 2007 or later at any Texas college or university may not withdraw (receive a W) from more than six course during their undergraduate career. Some exemptions for good cause could allow a student to withdraw from a course without having it count toward this limit. Students are encouraged to carefully select courses; contact an advisor or counselor for assistance.

C. Incomplete coursework: "I"

Complete at least 75% of course coverage (4 exams and a final exam) with a commitment to complete the course requirements to meet the standards for at least "C". Instructor's prior approval required. Doctor’s statement or other verifiable evidence must be presented for approval to be granted. Request must be made to instructor no more than three days after the final exam.

D. Scholastic Dishonesty:

Acts prohibited by the college for which discipline may be administered include scholastic dishonesty, including but not limited to cheating on an exam or quiz, plagiarizing, unauthorized collaboration with another in preparing outside work. Academic work submitted by students shall be the result of their thought, research, or self-expression. Academia is defined as, but not limited to tests, quizzes, whether taken electronically or on paper; projects, either individual or group; classroom presentations, and homework.

E. Academic expectations and student discipline:

1. Read the chapter assignments in the text.

2. Take the four (6) exams during the semester on the schedule outlined in the Program of Study. FIVE POINTS WILL BE DEDUCTED FOR EACH DAY AN EXAM IS TAKEN AFTER THE DUE DATE. Final Examination will be comprehensive and is required. The final exam must be taken before or on the scheduled date. There will be no makeup for the final exam.

3. Prepare a typed, double spaced, primary research project covering one of the topics listed in APPENDIX NUMBER ONE.

4. Specific information and instructions for completing this assignment can be found in APPENDIX NUMBER ONE in this syllabus. Projects done after the deadline will lose points (one letter grade each week) – projects will NOT be accepted after published deadline.

F. Office of Students with Disabilities:

1. Each ACC campus offers support services for students with documented physical or psychological disabilities. Students with disabilities must request reasonable accommodations through the Office for Students with Disabilities on the campus where they expect to take the majority of their classes.

2. Students are encouraged to attend this task three weeks before the start of the semester.

G. Electronic Communication Devices:

1. Students are required to turn off electronic communication devices when entering the classroom.

2. Talking on cell phones during class is prohibited.

H. Rule of Three Admission Rule.

Per state law, effective Spring 2006 any student taking a class for the third time or more may be charged an additional $60 per credit hour unless exempted. We call it the Rule of Three.

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has mandated that all publicly funded higher education institutions will not receive funding for courses a student takes for the third time or more. Without the state funding for those affected classes, ACC will charge additional tuition to pay for the cost of the class. The new Rule of Three tuition costs will not apply to developmental courses, Continuing Education courses, special studies courses in which the content changes each time, or other select courses.

Students affected by this new policy should note the following:

· This policy affects class enrollments beginning with the Fall 2002 semester (Aug. 2002).

· Financial aid may be used to cover the additional tuition charge.

· If you are taking a class for the second time and are considering a third attempt in the future, consult with your instructor and/or advisor. ACC is here to help you succeed.

· Appeals for waivers will be reviewed on a case by case basis by the relevant Dean of Student Services at each campus.

I. Freedom of Expression:

Each student is strongly encouraged to participate in class. In any classroom situation that includes discussion and critical thinking, there are bound to be many differing viewpoints. These differences enhance the learning experience and create an atmosphere where students and instructors alike will be encouraged to think and learn. On sensitive and volatile topics, students may sometimes disagree not only with each other but also with the instructor. It is expected that faculty and students will respect the views of others when expressed in classroom discussions.

X. COURSE CALENDAR:

A. All assignments/tests will be submitted on, or before, the assigned date.

B. Take the three (6) tests during the semester as outlined on the Program of Study. If student anticipates an unavoidable absence on a test date, the instructor should be notified before that date and the student is responsible for taking the test in the testing center outside class time before the deadline published on the Program of Study. Tests taken after the deadline will RECEIVED A 5_pt GRADE REDUCTION/DAY.

The Final Exam is comprehensive and is required.. In extreme circumstances, you may request to take the Final Exam early. Instructor’s permission is necessary. No make-ups will be possible for the Final Exam. Failure to take the Final Exam will result in failure of the course.

C. All tests will be on file in the testing center and any test may be taken early. Tests on file in the testing center may not contain the same questions as the tests given in class unless prior arrangements for early testing has been made. Each test will count 100 points each toward the final course grade.

D. Swatch Book/assignments will be valued at 150 points toward the final grade. Assignments will not be accepted late.

E. Research Paper will be valued at 100 (90 pts for paper, 10 pts for note cards) points toward the final grade.

F. Five multiple choice tests will be valued at 500 points toward the final grade

G. The final exam will be valued at 200 points toward the final grade
