Course Policies:

Attendance Policy: You are expected to attend class regularly.  No absences of any nature will be construed as relieving you from the responsibility for the completion of all work assigned by the instructor.  Absences are discouraged because interaction with the instructor and fellow classmates is an integral part of learning computer software applications.  Unexcused absences from Quizzes and Test will result in a score of "0" for that test.  If you need to leave class early, please let the instructor know before the class begins.

Student Responsibility: If an emergency prevents you from attending class, it is your responsibility to obtain notes from a classmate and study them for understanding.  If the notes and the text do not provide sufficient explanation, please see the instructor after class.  It is not the responsibility of the instructor to see that you get lecture notes from missed classes.

Procedures:

• Read the textbook chapters and assignments before class, so that you can use your class/lab time more efficiently. Highlight important points as you work through your textbook during the lecture and lab time. Be prepared to discuss the chapter and any end-of chapter questions or Lab Assignments during the lecture time.
• Turn in the competed assignments on time, with your name, class name and section number.  Make sure to keep you assignments in order as they will be returned.  It is not the responsibility of your instructor to put your work in order.
• Please try and exchange phone numbers with other classmates so that if your miss a class, or need someone to discuss what you are working on, you can get the lecture notes from that person and discuss what you are working on.  If you find there something that both of you are having problems with, the time to discuss this with the instructor is before the next days lecture.

Very Important

• Read over the corresponding lesson material prior to each meeting.
• Work through the assigned lesson material in the lab following each corresponding class meeting. Do not wait until the day before an assignment is due to start working on it.
• Clearly mark all assignments, Please include your name, class name and section number, and assignments name/number on each assignment printout that you turn in.
• At the end of the last meeting you must turn in any and all late assignments, there will be points taken off for these assignments, as described previous.   Any assignments not turned in by that date will not count towards your final class grade.
• You will need to send the instructor your e-mail address. This will be the way the instructor will keep in contact with you.
• This e-mail address will be used to the link to the reports for your grades and notification of when each report has been generated.
• Please be sure to send your e-mail address, to the instructor, before the second class session.
