METHODS OF INSTRUCTION:

To be successful in this course, students are expected to participate in discussions, readings, in-class writing, and peer review activities.

Special Note for Pueblo Campus: This course may use MyMathLab for assignments and exams and may require active participation in the use of the online software program.

The instructor may assign point values to such activities.

9.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:

The very nature of higher education requires that students adhere to accepted standards of academic integrity. Therefore, Pueblo Community College has adopted a policy of academic conduct as described in the Student Handbook. Violation of academic integrity may be defined to include the following: cheating, plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, abuse of academic materials, complicity in academic dishonesty, and personal misrepresentation. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty. Disciplinary sanctions for violating the standards of academic integrity may include warning, probation, or suspension. Academic sanctions may include failure of the course or the assignment at the discretion of the instructor. Students may receive both disciplinary and academic sanctions.

10.

DISABILITY STATEMENT:

Students who have a documented disability may be eligible to receive accommodations for this class. Please contact the Disability Resources Center at 549-3446 for further information.

11.

SPECIAL REMARKS:

Homework: Homework will be assigned and evaluated as determined by the instructor.

Attendance: Attendance will be taken and students may be withdrawn from the class when they have missed 20% of the total class time. Missed exams will result in a zero for that exam unless prior arrangements have been made.

Conduct: Professional and courteous behavior is expected at all times. Disruptive behavior is UNACCEPTABLE in the classroom and will result in immediate disciplinary sanctions which may include the student’s temporary or permanent removal from the class.

Use of Electronics in the Classroom: Computers and other electronic devices may be used in the classroom only for academic purposes as directed by the instructor. Texting and/or accessing personal e-mail and Facebook are not allowed. All cell phones must be turned off during class. If a student uses an unapproved electronic device during a test or class activity, the student will receive no credit for the activity or test, may be asked to leave the classroom, and/or may fail the course for cheating.
