Web resources: Eagle Online- classroom management system HCC-SW departmental website HCC Policy Statement: ADA 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. Instructors are authorized to provide only the accommodations requested by the Disability Support Services Office. If you have any special needs or disabilities that may affect your ability to succeed in college classes or participate in any college programs or activities, please contact the DSS office for assistance. At Southwest College, contact: Dr. Becky Hauri 5407 Gulfton Houston, Texas 77081 Phone: 713-718-7909 Fax: 713-718-7781 TTY: 713-718-7909 Distance education students should look at the DE section for more detail: http://www.hccs.edu/hccs/future-students/disability-services HCC Policy Students are responsible for conducting themselves with honor and Statement: Academic integrity in fulfilling course requirements. Disciplinary proceedings may Honesty be initiated by the college system against a student accused of scholastic dishonesty. Penalties can include a grade of "0" or "F" on the particular assignment, failure in the course, academic probation, or even dismissal from the college. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating on a test, plagiarism, and collusion. 9

HCC Policy Attendance Statement: Students are expected to attend classes regularly. Students are Student attendance, responsible for materials covered during their absences, and it is the 3-peaters, withdrawal student's responsibility to consult with instructors for make-up deadline assignments. Instructors check class attendance daily. A student may be dropped from a course for excessive absences after the student has accumulated absences in excess of 12.5% of the hours of instruction (including lecture and laboratory time). Note that 12.5% is approximately 4 classes or labs for a 4-semester hour course. Habitual tardiness will not be tolerated. Students are expected to be in attendance for the entirety of the scheduled class and are responsible for completing assignments scheduled during their absence/s. It is the responsibility of each student to amend their professional/personal schedule to meet the class schedule Repeaters Students who repeat a course for a third or more times may soon face significant tuition/fee increases at HCC and other Texas public colleges and universities. Please ask your instructor / counselor about opportunities for tutoring / other assistance prior to considering course withdrawal or if you are not receiving passing grades. Withdrawals Withdrawal from the course after the official day of record (see current catalog) will result in a final grade of W on the student transcript and no credit will be awarded. It is the student s responsibility to initiate and complete a request for withdrawal from any course. Students will be required to formally request a drop from their instructors prior to the administrative drop date deadline (See online course calendar). Abandoning the course or failing to formally drop, will result in a grade being given based on the work completed for the entire course (including missed exams). The State of Texas has begun to impose penalties on students who drop courses excessively. For example, if you repeat the same course more than twice, you have to pay extra tuition. Beginning in fall 2007, the Texas Legislature passed a law limiting first time entering freshmen to no more than SIX total course withdrawals throughout their educational career in obtaining a certificate and/or degree. Receiving a "W" in a course may affect the status of your student Visa. Once a W is given for the course, it will not be changed to an F because of the visa consideration. Please contact the International Student Office at 713-718-8520 if you have any questions about your visa status and other transfer issues 10

Instructor Requirements: Basic requirements Students should be on time for class and be prepared with required materials including textbook and lab manual. Full class attendance is required including lecture and lab portions. Full attention during lecture and lab is required. Phones/electronic devices Absolutely no phone or other personal electronic devices are to be used during class (lecture and lab). This includes making or taking a call, reviewing messages, texting, playing games, checking email, surfing the web, anything that involves a phone or other personal electronic device. If your work or family situation requires that you be available via phone, your phone can be on vibrate mode and you can take the call during our regular scheduled breaks or you can exit the class to review the call. Notify your friends, family, employers, and anyone else who regularly contacts you that you will be in class and that you should be contacted only when necessary. The taking of calls during class is not only disruptive but it is also discourteous to classmates and the instructor. Testing procedures Be sure to arrive early for your examinations. There are time limits for exams. You will not be given extended time for testing if you arrive late. For online exams, make sure you have adequate time to take the exam (2 hours) and you have a reliable internet connection. Entering and exiting the lecture room or lab room is not permitted once exams have begun. Please be sure to use bathroom before or after examinations. See specific information for DE students at link on page 10 of syllabus. Deportment Students are expected to conduct themselves as adults. This includes courteous and respectful behavior towards instructor and classmates. Disruptive behavior or any behavior that interferes with any educational activity being performed by the instructor will not be allowed. Additionally, no student may interfere with his/her fellow students right to pursue their academic goals to the fullest in an atmosphere appropriate to a community of scholars. Disruptive behavior may result in removal from the class. Lab policy Lab safety is stated in lab manual. Lab rules and regulations will be discussed during the first lab and will be adhered to at all times. Each student is responsible for cleaning up after labs, this includes glassware, utensils, specimens/models and other material used during lab time (no, clean up is not covered by your lab fees). Program/Discipline Requirements 2402 Exit (departmental) Exam 11

HCC Grading Scale: A = 90-100% B = 80-89% C = 70-79% D = 60-69% F = less than 60% FX= F due to lack of attendance Students who stopped attending class: The Department of Education now requires that we make a distinction between an earned grade of F (i.e. for poor performance) and a grade of F due to a lack of attendance. To make that distinction, we have created a new grade, FX for failure due to lack of attendance. Faculty will not be allowed the option of submitting a grade change form changing the grade of FX (or F) to W, if the student stopped attending class. Instructor Grading Criteria: Students must adhere to testing schedule. Failure to take a test (lab or lecture) will result in a 0 for the missed exam. Exceptions include work, family, or personal (health) emergency, and must be documented. Only one make-up exam per semester is allowed (with proper documentation) and must be arrange with instructor ASAP. There is no repeating of examinations or dropping of lowest grade/s. EGLS3---Evaluation for Greater Learning Student Survey System: At Houston Community College, professors believe that thoughtful student feedback is necessary to improve teaching and learning. During a designated time, you will be asked to answer a short online survey of research-based questions related to instruction. The anonymous results of the survey will be made available to your professors and division chairs for continual improvement of instruction. Look for EGSS3 as part of the Houston Community College Student System online near the end of the term. Examination format Lecture exams will include multiple choice questions and essay/short answer questions. Lab exams will include identification, labeling and short answers reviewing anatomical models and specimens. Testing locations You must identify yourself with a picture I.D. before you will be admitted to DE testing rooms. Take your Driver's license or any other form of identification to the testing site. NOTE: The Testing Centers require that you begin exams before the scheduled closing time. Please see specific information in DE link on page 10 of our syllabus. Here are the testing center locations: http://de.hccs.edu/de/additional-resources/testinglocations 12
