Dropping the Class

If you decide to discontinue this course, it is your responsibility to officially drop it. 

Attendance

For face-to-face courses, students who fail to attend the first class meeting may be dropped by the instructor. A student may be dropped from any class when that student's absences exceed ten percent (10%) of the total hours of class time. This means you can only miss ONE CLASS MEETING!  You will be dropped from the class if you miss two class meetings.  It is strongly advised that if you need to miss more than one class/homework deadline in a row that you contact the instructor to avoid being dropped from the class.

Pass‐NoPass (P/NP)

You may take this class P/NP. You must decide before the deadline, and add the option online with TLC or file the P/NP form with Admissions and Records. With a grade of C or better, you will get P.

You must file for the P/NP option by 9/8/2017. Once you decide to go for P/NP, you cannot change back to a letter grade. If you are taking this course as part of a certificate program, you can probably still take the class P/NP. Check with a counselor to be sure.

Instructor Announcements and Q&A Forum

The instructor will post announcements on the “Instructor Announcements” page in Canvas throughout the semester. Canvas notifies students according to their preferred Notification Preferences. [A “Q&A Forum” is also available as a pinned Discussion to ask for assistance of your classmates or of the instructor.]

Late Policy

All assignments are due at the beginning of class on the due date. A late submission will receive a 20% penalty. Submissions more than one week late are not accepted without prior arrangement.

Grading Policy

Click the “Grades” link in Canvas to keep track of your grades. I will post grades and comments in the Canvas grade book as they become available.

 Standards of Conduct

Students who register in SRJC classes are required to abide by the SRJC Student Conduct Standards. Violation of the Standards is basis for referral to the Vice President of Student Services or dismissal from class or from the College. See the Student Code of Conduct page.

Collaborating on or copying of tests or homework in whole or in part will be considered an act of academic dishonesty and result in a grade of 0 for that test or assignment. Students are encouraged to share information and ideas, but not their work. See these links on Plagiarism:
SRJC Writing Center Lessons on avoiding plagiarism
SRJC's statement on Academic Integrity

Students should contact their instructor as soon as possible if they find that they cannot access any course materials. Students with disabilities who believe they need accommodations in this class are encouraged to contact Disability Resources (527-4278).

List of assignments

Assignments:

1. Reading 10-20 pages per week
