Classroom conduct

Uphold the values of academic honesty. Each student is expected to be honest in his or her work and is expected to complete the assignments on an individual basis. The college regards dishonesty in assignments, examinations, or other academic work as a serious offense. A student who cheats is subject to disciplinary action at the discretion of the instructor up to and including an F for the course

Complete a Withdrawal. Students who stop coming to class must officially withdraw. Failure to do so may result in an F on the student's transcript.

Take tests according to the schedule. Except for extreme emergencies, you must take all tests by the due date.

Quizzes will be given unannounced throughout the semester. They can not be made up.

Complete the course. An incomplete grade is given only to those students who are unable to complete the work due to serious illness, hospitalization, or a death in your immediate family AND who have only a small portion of course work to complete; for example, one or two tests. An incomplete is not given to students for poor attendance or poor skills.

Missed exams

Except for extreme emergencies, you must turn in all tests by the due date. If you contact me before the test, you will have one week after the test date to complete the test.

If you do not contact me before the test, you cannot make up the test. Quizzes can occur at any time and the sum of the quiz points will equal 20% of your grade. Quizzes can not be made up.

Late assignments

If you fail to submit your work when it is due, no credit will be given for late work.

Extra credit

None available for this course. Exceptional work may be given extra points.

Study expectations

You are expected to read all assignments before lecture. Up to three hours per credit per week study will be expected outside of the class hours. You are expected to research the terms presented in the course on the internet. Especially at OTN.ORACLE.COM and ORACLE.COM

Academic dishonesty

See DMACC Educational Services Procedures ES 262 VII. A. and B for information on plagiarism, cheating, information about appeals procedures or reference publication that addresses this information in detail.

Weather policy

Individual circumstances such as health, childcare, rural roads, distance from the College, etc. can vary greatly among students and staff. It is always DMACC’s goal to provide safe learning conditions, as well as provide the opportunity for students to attend classes when the vast majority is able to safely attend. The final decision to come to College can only be made by the individual student based on their specific extenuating circumstances that may make it unsafe for them to travel. During adverse weather, DMACC faculty is considerate of students who are unable to attend classes due to unique extenuating circumstances. It is the responsibility of each faculty member to notify their students (in addition to their dean or provost) through some predetermined means if they are must postpone or cancel a specific class due to weather or illness.

Since we are online for this course, we will not have snow days. Although, on occasions, WebCT is unavailable. Do not wait for the assignment dates and times before submitting work. Get it done and submitted early.
