GRADING
SYSTEM:
Your instructor will provide specific information about how you will be
graded in this course.
COURSE
POLICIES:
Departmental
policies for Incompletes, Attendance, and Withdrawal are as follows:
Incomplete Policy: An incomplete
(I) will be granted to a student in rare circumstances. Generally, to receive a
grade of I, a student must have completed all examinations and assignments to
date, be passing, and have personal circumstances that prevent course
completion that occur after the deadline to withdraw with a grade of W.
Attendance Policy: All students
are expected to attend classes.
Non-attendance will have an impact on the student’s grade.
Withdrawal Policy: It is the
student’s responsibility to withdraw from a course. Instructors are allowed to withdraw students
but students must not rely on their instructor to withdraw them if they wish to
withdraw.
Academic Freedom Statement: 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.
Scholastic Dishonesty Statement: 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, and
unauthorized collaboration with another in preparing outside work. Academic
work submitted by students shall be the result of their thought, research or
self-expression. Academic work is defined as, but not limited to tests,
quizzes, whether taken electronically or on paper; projects, either individual
or group; classroom presentations, and homework” (see Student
Handbook). Penalties for scholastic dishonesty will depend upon the
nature of the violation and may range from lowering a grade on one assignment
to an F in the course and/or expulsion from this institution.
Student
Discipline Statement: Classroom behavior should
support and enhance learning. Behavior that disrupts the learning process will
be dealt with appropriately, which may include having the student leave class
for the rest of that day. In serious cases, disruptive
behavior may lead to a student being withdrawn from the class. ACC's policy on student discipline can be found in
the Student Handbook.
Students with Disabilities Statement: 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. Students
are encouraged to do this three weeks before the start of the semester” (see Student Handbook).
