Academic Integrity
Students enrolled at Alamance Community College are expected at all times to uphold standards of integrity. Students are expected to perform honestly and to work in every way possible to eliminate academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty includes cheating and plagiarism.
Plagiarism is stealing another person’s words or ideas and passing them off as your own. When you put your name on a paper in a course at ACC, you are claiming ownership of that paper. You are saying, "I wrote this paper and the words and ideas in it are my own, except where I have credited my source through proper MLA or APA documentation."
Global PlagiarismGlobal plagiarism involves copying an entire paper from another source, perhaps by borrowing a paper someone else wrote or downloading one from an Internet site. This type of plagiarism is grossly unethical and inexcusable. If you are caught committing this type of plagiarism, even on a rough draft, you will receive a zero on that assignment. This typically results in an "F" in the course. Sometimes students commit this type of plagiarism because they have waited until the last minute to do an assignment and they panic. However, a student would be much better off dropping the course than earning an "F" because of plagiarism.
Patchwork PlagiarismCut and paste plagiarism, also called patchwork plagiarism, is no more ethical than global plagiarism. This type occurs when the writer cuts and pastes words, paragraphs, and even pages from different sources to create a whole paper which he or she then turns in as his or her own work. The student may have written an introduction, conclusion, or even a few transitions, but copied the rest of the paper word for word from different sources. Committing cut and paste plagiarism will also result in a zero on that assignment and can result in an "F" in the course.
Incremental Plagiarism Incremental plagiarisms sometimes happen through carelessness or by accident. It occurs when the writer composes most of the words, but does not properly cite or credit the sources or does not paraphrase or quote correctly. Simply rearranging the words in the passages is not enough. A paraphrase should truly be in the writer's own words. Students are responsible for understanding how to use MLA or APA Documentation, which is covered in course
5
textbooks, handbooks, the laminated guide (included with the Hacker handbook), and online. Rough drafts with incremental plagiarism may be rewritten to eliminate the problem. Final drafts with incremental plagiarism will receive a grade penalty consistent with the amount and seriousness of the plagiarism.
Final Thoughts on PlagiarismAs a student, you are responsible for the integrity of your work. If you are not confident about your writing ability, your instructor and the tutors in the Academic Skills Lab are there to help you. We as a department are committed to the idea that writing is a process and that we all make mistakes and can learn from these mistakes. We allow submission of rough and final drafts to help you grow and learn as a writer. How can we help you if the words and ideas you turn in are not your own? Please do not put us in the position of having you fail one of our courses because of plagiarism. The experience will not be pleasant for any of us.
How Do we Detect PlagiarismThe Health and Public Services Division may use a plagiarism detection service called Turnitin.com to check papers for plagiarism. You will probably be asked to submit your papers to Turnitin.com online or to submit your papers in electronic format to be checked for plagiarism. Also the Google web site is used to verify authenticity of your papers. Either source will be used to document plagiarism, upon which appropriate sanctions will be utilized.
Academic Integrity
Students enrolled at Alamance Community College are expected at all times to uphold standards of integrity. Students are expected to perform honestly and to work in every way possible to eliminate academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty includes cheating and plagiarism.
Any student caught cheating will be dismissed at the instructor’s discretion.
OTHER POLICIES
Attendance
ACC recognizes that students are adults with many responsibilities. An occasional absence might be absolutely necessary. However, such absences in no way lessen the student’s responsibility for meeting the requirements of the class.
Absences are counted from the first official meeting of the class regardless of when the student registers for, or enters, the class. Refer to the policy on page 86 of the student handbook. Individual departments/programs may set more restrictive attendance requirements with the approval of the associate dean.
Attendance Policy – Maximum hours allowed: 4 hours
Students are expected to attend each class session. When classes must be missed due to personal emergencies, sickness or death of an immediate family member, students may use
6
up to the maximum number of absences listed on the official Attendance Policy Statement distributed during orientation. Three tardies are counted as one absence. Absence from class does not relieve the student from the responsibility of meeting all course requirements. Students exceeding the maximum number of allowed hours will be dropped from the course, at the instructor’s discretion.
Online Attendance Policy
Students are expected to log on to the course at least twice a week. Assignments will be posted every Wednesday morning. Please review this area every Wednesday; all students will be required to turn in that week’s assignments in lab in the allocated area. This course is a hybrid course; you will be required to participate online as well as in the on campus lab. Attendance will be taken from the online portion as well as on campus attendance. Students that fail to turn in any assignments for two consecutive weeks (4 days) risk being dropped from the course for non-participation
Library – Learning Resource Center LRC
As part of ACC’s commitment to institutional effectiveness and student success, it is critical for students to learn how to use the resources in the library. Many classes require research projects and papers that use those resources. Students need to know how to use the resources effectively. For information regarding help and use of the LRC call 336-506-4208.
ACC’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP)
As part of the reaffirmation process with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges in 2013, ACC has developed a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) that identifies a specific area for improvement. Entitled “Write to Succeed,” ACC’s QEP focuses on improving student writing so that graduates are better prepared both for the workforce and for further education. As a result of “Write to Succeed,” ACC has opened a Writing Center (located in Main 354 in the same suite as the Academic Skills Lab). The Writing Center offers assistance with any writing task, as well as style guides and workshops, to help students be more successful in all of their classes. For more information, please visit the college’s website.
ADA Policy
Students with special needs related to handicapping conditions should contact the Student Development Office to obtain information on available services. Some of the services available are counseling, instructional accommodations, interpreting services, referral to other agencies, career development, educational assessment/placement, tutorial assistance, test accommodations, tape recorders, special chairs, and special computer monitors. Information regarding disability documentation can be accessed on ACC’s website under “Services for Students.” Documentation of student needs must be provided to Monica Isbell, Coordinator of Special Needs & Counseling Services, in order for accommodations to be provided. The coordinator’s office is located in Student Development. The coordinator can be reached by telephone at 336 506 4130 or email:[email protected].

Course Withdrawal
Withdrawal date and receive a WP: _ July 6, 2015______
Alamance Community College recognizes that from time to time, it may be necessary for a student to withdraw from a course. Students may withdraw with a “WP” grade through the 80 percent point of the semester. If a student withdraws during the last 20 percent of the semester, the earned grade in the class will be recorded on the student’s transcript. Students who formally withdraw many NOT continue attending that class.
When a student misses 20 % or more of the total contact hours for this course, the student will be withdrawn by the instructor from the course.
If a student does not properly withdraw or the faculty fails to withdraw a student an F will be assigned as a grade for the class.
Students who never attend or withdraw prior to the 10% point and are receiving federal financial aid are required to repay the full amount charged for tuition, books and fees. Students who withdraw through the 60% point of the term and who are receiving federal financial aid (Title IV programs) are required to repay a portion of the awarded funds for which they are not eligible due to withdrawal.
Electronic Communication Devices Policy
Alamance Community College is committed to fostering a learning friendly environment. Electronic communication devices can be detrimental to the learning environment. Therefore, the use of cell phones and beepers in the classroom must be turned off or put on silent/vibrate mode. The devices should be placed in back pack or purse out of visibility.
Student Code of Conduct
Students at ACC are expected to conduct themselves as adults in accordance with generally accepted standards of behavior and decency at all times. Student rights, responsibilities, and procedures are outlined in the current ACC Student Handbook (Student Rights/Responsibilities). Each department/program may choose to have a specific departmental handbook with specific requirements for clinicals, co-ops or other pertinent information.
If a student's behavior is interfering with classroom procedure, he/she will be asked to leave the class and will be counted absent for that session; the student will then be referred to the Associate Dean of Public Services. If the disruptive behavior continues, the student will be dropped from the class. Disruptive behavior may include, but is not limited to: cell phone
8
talking and text messaging, sleeping in class, threatening the instructor or other students, fighting, using profanity, talking with or otherwise disturbing students, talking so loudly as to interfere with the instructor and/or the class, etc.
Students appearing to be under the influence of drugs/alcohol while on the school premises will be asked to leave class. If the student refuses to leave the instructor will need to contact the Associate Dean at which time sanctions will be leaved for such behavior (Student Handbook Page 94, Sanctions).
Safety – Emergency Evacuation
An emergency evacuation route is posted in the classroom. Please review the posted route for the closest emergency exit. Assume that when the building alarm is sounded, an emergency exists. Walk quickly to the nearest marked EXIT to evacuate the building.Campus emergency phone number is 2286.
Oral Health and Nutrition Project Guidelines
Project 1: Bulletin Board
Students will be divided into groups. Each group will be responsible for designing and creating an oral health message for a departmental bulletin board that is directly related to a systemic disease.
Project 2: Elementary School Children
Students will be placed in pairs to develop a presentation in preventive dentistry for children between the ages 8-10 years. This should include an instructional aid on nutritional and dental health.
Project 3: Mentally and Physically Challenged
Students will be placed in pairs to be responsible for presenting oral health instructions to the mentally and physically challenged. The students will be required to include a personalized reference for their patient.
Project 4: Geriatric Patients
Each student will be required to develop and present at home oral care instructions for partials, dentures and natural dentition to the elderly residents at an assisted living facility.
9
Project 5: Adult Patient
Each student will be required to arrange two appointments with an adult. These appointments will be scheduled at the patient’s convenience. Both appointments are to be recorded and critiqued by the instructor. A formal presentation will be presented to the class.
The first appointment should stress proper oral care instructions. A dietary history form will be given to the patient to complete for at least 5 days.
The second appointment will include a “follow- up” on the oral care instructions provided. Review the patient’s dietary history, and place emphasis on the role of good nutrition relates to your overall oral health.
GRADING POLICIES FOR GROUP PROJECTS:
To ensure proper participation in any group projects, an evaluation form will be given for each student to grade themselves and their peers in the assigned group. With these forms and the instructor’s grade you will receive your final average.

Rationale
Fluorides No aspect of dental health maintenance has been thoroughly documented as the
benefits of the fluoride ion. Extending even further, the Surgeon General of the United States, in 1956, stated that the dental caries prevention value and the safety of controlled water fluoridation are among the most conclusively proven public health measures known. When, in addition to the major benefit of systemic fluorides prior to tooth eruption, one considers also the post eruptive enamel maturation effects, and arrestment of incipient caries, the fluoride ion becomes the single most decisive agent presently available for dental caries prevention.
