Headphones are not to be used in classrooms and computer labs and should be put away during class times. Laptops must be put away at all times in this class, unless you have permission to use them for a project. Use of Cell Phones in Class: (7-2.4S, pp. 194-5 in the Student Handbook): "Collin College may initiate disciplinary proceedings for student violations, including, but not limited to, a student who: engages in the use of media or telecommunications devices during class, Collin College labs, and/or other learning environments. In addition, all media and telecommunication devices must be completely turned off (not on silent or vibrate) while taking examinations and prior to entering the Testing Center testing room..."

Any disruptive or rude behavior will not be tolerated. I do not allow food or drinks in our computer labs. Late Work Late work is not accepted. Tests cannot be made up. Near the end of the semester, there will be an opportunity to complete three optional assignments that can replace your three lowest grades. ACADEMIC ETHICS: Every member of the Collin College community is expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. Collin College may initiate disciplinary proceedings against a student accused of scholastic dishonesty. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, statements, acts, or omissions related to applications for enrollment or the award of a degree, and/or the submission of one s own work material that is not one s own. Scholastic dishonesty may involve, but is not limited to one or more of the following acts: cheating, plagiarism, collusion, use of annotated texts or teacher s editions, use of information about exams posted on the Internet or electronic medium, and/or falsifying academic records. While specific examples are listed below, this is not an exhaustive list and scholastic dishonesty may encompass other conduct, including any conduct through electronic or computerized means: Plagiarism is the use of an author s words or ideas as if they were one s own without giving credit to the source, including, but not limited to failure to acknowledge a direct quotation. Cheating is the willful giving or receiving of information in an unauthorized manner during an examination; collaborating with another student during an examination without authority; using, buying, selling, soliciting, stealing, or otherwise obtaining examination questions in advance, copying computer or Internet files, using someone else s work for assignments as if it were one s own; or any other dishonest means of attempting to fulfill the requirements of a course. Collusion is intentionally or unintentionally aiding or attempting to aid another in an act of scholastic dishonesty, including but not limited to, failing to secure academic work; providing a paper or project to another student; providing an inappropriate level of assistance; communicating answers to a classmate during an examination or any other course assignment; removing tests or answer sheets from a test site, and allowing a classmate to copy answers. In cases where an incident report has been filed for alleged violation of scholastic dishonesty, faculty are requested to delay posting a grade, for the academic work in question, until the Dean of Students Office renders an administrative decision of the case. Students found responsible for scholastic dishonesty offenses will receive an authorized disciplinary penalty from the Dean of Students Office. The student may also receive an academic penalty in the course where the scholastic dishonesty took place. The professor will determine the appropriate penalty. Note: The instructor reserves the right to make changes to this syllabus during the semester. Changes will be provided in writing during class hours.
