Version 2.1.FY2020 7 For each assignment, the instructions will define what the Instructor expects from the student in order to earn a "C" grade. This will give the student an idea of what the instructor considers the “average”. The instructor will give higher grades based on demonstration of knowledge and understanding and even higher grades based on innovation and creativity related to the topic. This class should showcase your enthusiasm and demonstrate your skills/knowledge and ability to perform in the workforce. Your final grade will be based on the following proportions: * Same as RTVB-2427 Grade Total % A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F <60 Incomplete Policy: In order to receive a grade of Incomplete (“I”), a student must have completed at least 85% of the work in the course. In all cases, the instructor reserves the right to decline a student’s request to receive a grade of Incomplete. HCC Grading Scale can be found on this site under Academic Information: http://www.hccs.edu/resources-for/current-students/student-handbook/

Version 2.1.FY2020 8 Instructor’s Practices and Procedures Missed Assignments Makeups are allowed on a case by case basis. Academic Integrity tudents are responsible for conducting themselves with honor and integrity in fulfilling course requirements. Penalties and/or disciplinary proceedings may be initiated by College System

Version 2.1.FY2020 9 officials against a student accused of scholastic dishonesty. “Scholastic dishonesty”: includes, but is not limited to, cheating on a test, plagiarism, and collusion. Cheating on a test includes: Copying from another students’ test paper Using materials not authorized by the person giving the test Collaborating with another student during a test without authorization Knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, transporting, or soliciting in whole or part the contents of a test that has not been administered Bribing another person to obtain a test that is to be administered. Plagiarism means the appropriation of another’s work and the unacknowledged incorporation of that work in one’s own written work offered for credit. Projects turned in with copyrighted material (music or video) will not be accepted. Collusion mean the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing written work offered for credit. Possible punishments for academic dishonesty may include a grade of 0 or F in the particular assignment, failure in the course, and/or recommendation for probation or dismissal from the College System. (See the Student Handbook) Scholastic Dishonesty will result in a referral to the Dean of Student Services. See the link below for details. Here’s the link to the HCC information about academic integrity (Scholastic Dishonesty and Violation of Academic Scholastic Dishonesty and Grievance): http://www.hccs.edu/about-hcc/procedures/student-rights-policies--procedures/student- procedures/ Attendance Procedures It is important that you come to class! Regular attendance is the single most important factor in student success. You are expected to attend all lectures and labs regularly. Class attendance is checked daily, usually through the use of a sign-in sheet. It is your responsibility to ensure that your name appears on the sign-in sheet. If it does not, you are considered absent for that class. Although it is your responsibility to drop a course for nonattendance, the instructor has the authority to drop you for excessive absences. Students may be dropped from a course after accumulating absences in excess of twelve hours of class time, which equals six classes. For the purposes of measuring attendance, three tardies will be counted as one absence. The twelve hours of class time includes any total classes missed, excessive tardiness, or leaving class early. You may decide NOT to come to class for whatever reason. As an adult making the decision not to attend, you do not have to notify the instructor prior to missing a class. However, if this happens too many times, you may suddenly find that you have “lost” the class. Poor attendance tends to correlate with poor grades. If you miss any class, including the first week, you are responsible for all material missed. It is a good idea to find a friend in class who is willing to share class notes or is able to hand in a paper for you if you cannot avoid missing a class. Student Conduct Students are expected to behave in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct and other
