percent. Any assignment turned in over fourteen days past its due date
will not receive credit.
The final exam will be given at Barstow College or via an
instructor-approved proctor. (See "Midterm and Final" Section below). Both the
midterm and final exams must be taken in the week they are assigned in order to
receive credit. The final exam must be completed by the last day of class which

Grading Criteria
I have provided Grading Criteria sheets so that students know what to expect when completing assignments. These criteria sheets provide my grading guidelines and the point value I give each guideline. Students are expected to print out these Grading Criteria sheets and use them when completing their assignments.
The link for the grading criteria sheets can be found on our class homepage.
How will students know what criteria I will use to grade their assignments?

Grade Book
I will begin grading assignments on the day following their due date and all students will
receive their grade via our online grade book. I will post grades within a week following their assignment due date. Only assignments received by that week's lesson due date will be in the grade book. Late assignments will not show up in the
grade book until the following week. I will also post an assignment analysis to the discussion board the day I post grades so you will be able to determine why you may have missed points on
certain assignments. You can find this analysis under the Instructor's
Postings link. Assignments over fourteen days late will not receive a grade or
credit.

Our Online Gradebook is password
protected. You will need to provide me with a fictitious name to determine
your grade book password. I will also post the status of your proctor using
your fictitious name.

What is the fictitious name you would like me to use to post your grades to our discussion board grade book?
Academic Honesty
Claiming as your own a paper, report, article, outline, or an
other assignment that, in whole or part was prepared by someone other than yourself is plagiarism. All material quoted from publications, interviews, the Internet, or any other source MUST be
referenced.
1. You must do your own work. All assignments, including papers, tests, quizzes, etc., MUST be your own work in your own words.
2. When "borrowing" ideas from another source ALWAYS give credit to the author of the idea. If you include information that is not your own original idea you MUST cite the reference.
Claiming work as your own that is not yours is plagiarism. Plagiarism will result in failure of the course.

Midterm and Final Exam
There is a midterm and final exam for this class. The midterm
and final exam will consist of multiple-choice, true/false, and scenario questions.
The exams are based on both the online lectures and textbook chapters.
The midterm exam will be taken online. You may take the exam at home and do not require a proctor for the midterm.
Since you will be taking the midterm exam at home you will be able to use your
textbook and my lectures to complete the exam.
The final exam will be held on the Barstow College campus or via an instructor-approved proctor.
The time and date of the final exam meeting is on your assignment sheet for this
course.
If you cannot attend the exam meeting, you will need to find an instructor-approved proctor and site. An approved proctor can include a librarian or education officer. An approved site can include a library or an education center. The approved site will need access to the Internet. No exceptions can be made to this Barstow College policy. The final
exam will NOT be sent to anyone other than the approved proctor. If proctor arrangements need to be made they must be completed by the end of the second week of class. If you need a proctor click the proctor form button
on our class homepage and
complete the proctor form. No textbook or notes may be used for the final exam.
In the box below type: I have read, understand
and agree to abide by the proctor statement for this course. I further
understand that if I need a proctor I must arrange for one by the end of the
second week of class. I also understand that I need to fill out a proctor
form. In addition, I realize that filling out the proctor form does not
automatically mean the instructor approves my proctor. Finally, I understand
there will be no exceptions to the proctoring policy.
Email Updates
One of the primary methods of contact in an online course is email. Your college is capable of extracting student names and email addresses from our registration system. The purpose of extracting this information is two fold. The information will be used by the instructor to remain in contact with the class in order to provide information necessary for the students' academic success. The information will also be used to send emails to the students from the college administration. The emails sent by the college administration will consist of links to course surveys which will be used to improve our online courses, important announcements for students, and links to college surveys, which will be used to satisfy requirements placed on the college by the California Community College Chancellor's Office. The college will not use this information to advertise any products and will not share student email addresses with any other organization.
In the box below type the following information:
As a student I understand it is my responsibility to ensure my email address is up to date in the registration system, and that failure to do so can seriously impact my ability to successfully complete my courses. Further, I consent to receive email communication from my instructor and from the college administration. This consent will remain in force until it is revoked in writing or I am no longer taking classes with the college. Upon submitting the syllabus, I agree to enter the registration system, check my email address and change it if necessary. I understand a tutorial is available to assist me with this procedure. I also understand I can contact 760-252-2411 x7700 to receive additional assistance if I encounter any difficulties when attempting to change my email address.
Disability Statement
If you have a disability which may impact your success in this course, you may contact the Disability Student Programs and Services (DSPS) office to arrange any reasonable accommodations and supports to which you are entitled. It is the responsibility of the student to initiate these procedures. The DSPS department can be contacted by calling 760-252-2411 x7224 or 760-252-6759 TTY/TDD or emailing
dsps@bcconline.com.
In the box below
type: I understand that if I have or suspect I have a disability I can
contact the DSPS program at the number or email address listed above and
request reasonable accommodations. Further I realize it is my responsibility
to contact the DSPS department.
