DISCLAIMER: Any Changes in the policy and/or schedule of this syllabus may be made at

anytime during the semester at the discretion of the instructor.

Rules and Comments:

Absolutely No food or drinks in the classroom or laboratory

Minimum grade of C is required in both theory and lab components of the course to pass the class.

No make-up exams are permitted unless prior arrangementwith the instructor has been made and

approved.

No Lab will be accepted if performed in the open lab unless prior approval by the instructor

There are no dropped exam scores.

Each student is responsible for his or her own work. All exams and graded assignments are to be

exclusively your own work, unless you receive instructions to collaborate. Using any human, written,

electronic, or other resource in any manner not explicitly authorized by the instructor will result in a

grade of zero on the exam(s) or assignment(s) involved.

You are expected to be in class on time, and to remain in class for the entire period unless

permission to leave early has been granted by the instructor. It is disruptive to arrive or depart

while class is in session.

Absences are excused solely at the discretion of the instructor, who may require that you prove the

existence of extenuating circumstances before excusing any absence(s).

More than two unexcusedabsences could result in a grade ofF for the course.

It is your responsibility to withdraw from the course. Any withdrawal request after the deadline may

not be granted.

It is the students responsibility to keep track of their status and performance (i.e., quizzes, and exam

grades) in class. Student should be able to average their grades based upon the grading policy stated in

this syllabus.

You are encouraged to ask relevant questions during class.

Your attitude will greatly affect your ability to succeed in this course. It will also affect your classmates

attitudes should you choose to participate in class discussions. Always consider this fact carefully

before you speak or act. If your comments or actions in class are deemed by the instructor to adversely

affect other students attitudes, they are considered disruptive.

Grades will not be disclosed over the telephone or via e-mail, except through your Atlas account.

Cheating or any act of academic dishonestyis prohibited. Any student caught cheating, the instructor

has the right to withdraw the student from the class or result in a failing grade.

If you want to record any lecture using audio or video devices, you must take permission from the

instructor and fellow students

Beepers and Cellular phonesmust be turned OFF or put on silent mode during class.

Disruptive Behavior: Any student engaging in disruptive behavior will be advised on the first offense

and will be dropped from the course on the second offense.

Student Core Competencies:The faculty of Valencia College has established four Core Competencies that describe the learning outcomes for a Valencia

graduate. They are: THINK, VALUE, COMMUNICATE, and ACT. These general competencies can be applied in many


5/5

contexts and must be developed over a lifetime. They specify how learning can be expressed and assessed in practice.

They enable students and faculty to set learning goals and assess learning within and across the many disciplines of human

inquiry. Use the descriptions and examples of academic work for each to measure your own learning outcomes. Samples

of the academic work are great additions to your Learning Portfolio. For further information on student core

competencies please go towww.valenciacollege.edu/competencies.

Expected Student Conduct:Valencia College is dedicated not only to the advancement of knowledge and learning but is concerned with the

development of responsible personal and social conduct. By enrolling at Valencia College, a student assumes the

responsibility for becoming familiar with and abiding by the general rules of conduct. The primary responsibility for

managing the classroom environment rests with the faculty. Students who engage in any prohibited or unlawful acts that

result in the disruption of a class may be directed by the faculty member to leave the class. Violation of any classroom or

Valencias rules may lead to disciplinary action up to and including expulsion from Valencia. Disciplinary action could

include being withdrawn from class, disciplinary warning, probation, suspension, expulsion, or other appropriate and

authorized actions. You will find the Student Code of Conduct in the current Valencia Student Handbook

Students with disabilitiesStudents who qualify for academic accommodations must provide a letter from the Office for Students with Disabilities

(OSD) and discuss specific needs with the professor, preferably during the first two weeks of class. The Office for Students

with Disabilities determines accommodations based on appropriate documentation of disabilities (West Campus SSB 102,

ext. 1523).
