4 ONLINE CLASS POLICIES Please Note: All students are required to follow all policies and procedures as described in the HCC student handbook Students are expected to attend online classroom regularly. To complete this course successfully: Carefully follow the weekly schedule: - Watch the assigned chapters videos and read the assigned chapters - Finish all chapter assignments on time (pay attention to start/end dates) - Follow the exam schedule carefully The course cannot be completed successfully if a student fails to participate actively or never logs into online classroom. 2. If a student needs to drop the course, it is the responsibility of the student to follow the correct procedure and deadline(s) to officially drop or withdraw from the course (details are available in the HCCS schedule handbook). A student will receive an F in the course if fails to officially drop or withdraw from the course. Last day for Administrative/student withdrawals: September 30th, How to Drop a Class: 3. Students should work independently (unless instructed to work in-groups) on all the assignments and all exams delivered in the class. In case of scholastic dishonesty (any type of cheating, copying etc.), no credit will be given for the particular assignment involved and for repeated violations the student will receive an "F" in the course. HCC-Scholastic Dishonesty Policy includes, but is not limited to, cheating on a test, plagiarism, and collusion. (from HCC Student Handbook) 4

5 a. Cheating on a test includes: o Copying from another student's test paper; o Using materials during a test not authorized by the person giving the test; o Collaborating with another student during a test without authority; o Knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, transporting, or soliciting in whole or part the contents of an un-administered test; o Bribing another person to obtain a test that is to be administered. b. Plagiarism means the appropriation of another's work and the unacknowledged incorporation of that work in one's own written work for credit. c. Collusion means the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing written work offered for credit. 4. HCC-ADA Policy: Any student with a documented disability (e.g. physical, learning, psychiatric, vision, hearing, etc.) who needs to arrange reasonable accommodations must contact the Disability Services Office at the respective college at the beginning of each semester. Faculty is authorized to provide only the accommodations requested by the Disability Support Services Office. Students can contact northwest ADA counselor at All students are required to exhibit responsible behavior in the virtual classroom. -Be respectful when communicating or interacting with the professor or classmates. -Have classroom discussions which are relevant to the topic -Work independently on all online assignments VIRTUAL CLASSROOM CONDUCT (from HCC DE Student Handbook) As with on-campus classes, all students in HCC Distance Education courses are required to follow all policies and procedures in the HCC Student Handbook, and relevant sections of the Texas Education Code when interacting and communicating in a virtual classroom with their professor and fellow students. Students who violate these policies and guidelines will be subject to disciplinary action that could include denial of access to course-related , discussion groups, and chat rooms or even removal from the class. EXAMS and GRADING There will be total of 4 exams (3 inter-session exams and 1 final exam). Final exam is cumulative and attendance at final exam is mandatory. Make-up Exam Policy No make-ups are allowed for any missed exams. If you have an unavoidable absence at one intersession exam, it will be replaced with the final exam grade after you submit a valid excuse note. If you have not missed any exams, your lowest intersession exam will be replaced by final exam grade (if higher). All students enrolled in this course must attend Final Exam. An absence at final exam will result in a F grade in the course. If you have any conflict with the final exam date, you must notify me at least two weeks prior to the final exam. To be considered for a make-up it is your responsibility to provide proper documentation to validate your excuse on time. 5

6 Grading Scheme: Exam #1 20% Exam #2 20% Exam #3 20% Final Exam 20% Lab Work and Assignments 20% 90 and above A B C D 59 and below F Students are requested to keep track of their grades throughout the semester and can use the given grading scheme (as described above) to roughly know their letter grade during the semester: Incomplete Grade (I): An incomplete grade can be awarded under extraordinary circumstances, only when 90% of the course has been completed. For example, at the end of the semester, if you miss one exam, one lab or the final exam due to sudden illness, family emergency, catastrophic accident etc., you can request for incomplete grade with proper documentation. The student must sign a written contract prior to the I is given. Without paperwork no Incomplete will be given. If the missing work is not completed within the specified time, a grade of F will be awarded. An Incomplete grade does not allow a student to retake the entire course to improve their grade. Exams are two hours long and exam session ends when you have submitted your exam. No lecture or lab is scheduled after the exam. LAB POLICIES Students are expected to attend lab sessions regularly. Make-up assignment will be given for only ONE missed lab (excused or unexcused). It is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements with the instructor to get make-up assignment. If the make-up is not turned-in on the assigned due date, a grade of zero will be awarded for the lab. Students must complete all laboratory assignments. If a student fails to complete all lab requirements, they will receive grade of F for the course, irrespective of their lecture average. The lab work and the lab assignments together are 20% of the overall grade. For lab grades, students need to submit a lab report for every experiment performed in the lab. Each experiment will be graded out of 10 points. Lab report is due either same day of the lab completion (preferred) or the following lab period if extra time is needed to finish. Lab session ends when you have submitted your complete lab report. If you need extra time to finish the lab report, you must get my initials on the report before leaving the lab. Late lab reports will not be accepted. Lab reports that are submitted later than following lab period after lab completion are considered late. Important: If you finish your lab early, you may stay back and I will be available to answer your questions. Your success in this course is important to me therefore I strongly encourage you to utilize this time to discuss course material with me. There is no formal lab exam. Lab grades will be assigned based on the lab reports (as described above). Points will also be deducted from the lab report if a student is not attentive and does not follow correct lab and safety procedure; is not punctual; does not work well with classmates; does not clean-up after finishing the lab. 6

7 Students will work in lab individually or in-groups. Each student has to submit an individual lab report on assigned due date. Late assignments will not be accepted and a grade of zero will be awarded for the experiment. Each student is required to follow all the safety procedures in the lab, such as, wearing safety goggles while doing a lab. Detailed orientation for safety will be given on the first day of lab. Community safety goggles are available in lab for individual use, but you will have to buy gloves and lab coats to wear when needed. All students working in chemistry labs should be aware of the inherent dangers, which exist even though the instructor has taken utmost precautions. It is therefore important for each student to behave responsibly and report any irresponsible behavior to the instructor. Students guilty of irresponsible behavior will receive an F in class. If any medical condition restricts you to work with chemicals in the chemistry lab, please consult your medical doctor regarding any concerns and you must submit a permission letter from your doctor before performing any experiments in the lab. Only experiments that are assigned by the instructor are to be performed. All other experiments are prohibited. Any accident in lab, no matter how slight, must be reported to the instructor immediately. COURSE SCHEDULE (CHEM 1405-Hybrid) Please Note: There are no face to face lectures.
