COURSE POLICIES

HPR 178 Medical Terminiology

Fall 2016

Attendance APS attendance policy will be followed. Attendance is vital to success in the class.

! Be Present: In order for you to learn, you must be present. The expectation is that you are in the classroom, willing and ready to learn each day. This class is fun but it is also challenging. If you miss class, you will get behind which ultimately causes you more work.

! Students are expected to attend and be on time for each and every class. The attendance and tardy policies and procedures set forth in the student handbook will be adhered to and upheld.

Course Conduct Building policies are found in the student/parent handbook and can be found on the website. The

following additional classroom policies are enforced: ! Be Respectful and Courteous: Please remember that you are not the only one in the class, and

that you are to treat others in a tolerant, considerate, courteous, respectful manner at all times. This includes being on time, not sleeping in class, doing your own work, keeping your hands to yourself, speaking in a mature manner, using appropriate language, being helpful, participating in class, etc. Also, keep in mind that the students determine much of the climate of the classroom, and your actions (spoken, written, and the use of gestures). If you wish to keep the classroom environment one conducive to learning, fun, and productive, then please use common sense when dealing with your fellow classmates, and myself. In general treat others how you wish to be treated, but please try to think a little before acting.

Late Work ! If you know you will miss a class for a legitimate reason, let me know. I realize that some absences are unavoidable; I will be much more lenient if you let me know ahead of time. Excessive absences and tardies will have an impact on your grade. If you miss a class, excused or unexcused it will be YOUR responsibility to make up or turn in any work that you missed the day you were absent. If you are missing class for a school related activity any assignments must be turned in that day or they will be considered late.

Make-Up Work Please see Late work policy. No late/make up work will be accepted after the quarter cutoff date., which is one week before the end of the quarter.

COLLEGE WIDE POLICIES General Learning

Outcomes The Instructional Unit has identified the following lifelong/workplace skills that are the foundation for your course of study at CCA: Communication, Critical Inquiry, Intra/Interpersonal Responsibility, Quantitative Reasoning, Technology, and Aesthetic Perception. Of these skills, this course will focus on Communication, Critical Inquiry, Intra/Interpersonal Responsibility, Quantitative Reasoning and Technology. Successful students will have shown through in-class exercises and specific course assignments the ability to pursue and retain knowledge, comprehend the various significant levels of acquired knowledge (analyzing and identifying their various components), evaluate the significance of the knowledge, synthesize ideas from multiple sources, and apply what is learned to work and life situations.

E-Mail All students enrolled in the Community College of Aurora are assigned a college email account, and

this email account is the college’s primary means of communication with students. To activate your e-mail account, go to www.CCAurora.edu and access your account. To activate your account, login with your date of birth spelled out (no punctuation or spaces) as your password (ex: If your date of birth is February 14, 1992, your initial password is February141992).

Site Emergency The Fire exits and emergency procedures will be discussed during class. When the fire alarm sounds, all

students are expected to exit the building immediately. Since the security of items left behind is not guaranteed, students should gather all personal belongings before proceeding to the nearest exit.

Accommodations Parents/guardians have the right to refer their child for evaluation for possible Special Education services. Counseling will evaluate students to determine if accommodations are needed and will then inform teachers of all accommodations.

Academic Dishonesty Policy

INSTRUCTIONAL POLICY ON ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: Academic dishonesty includes cheating and plagiarism. Cheating is the unauthorized use of assistance with intent to deceive an instructor or any other individual responsible for evaluating a student’s work. Note the following examples: • Submission of any materials not prepared by students but presented as their own. • The unauthorized possession and/or use of notes, books, calculators/ cell phones or the soliciting

of assistance from another student during an examination. • Illegitimate possession or disposition of examination or test materials and/or answer keys to tests

and examinations. Plagiarism refers to the use of another person’s work without giving proper credit to that person. A student must give proper credit through the use of appropriate citation format when (a) copying verbatim another person’s work (i.e., words, phrases, sentences, or entire passages); (b) paraphrasing another person’s work (i.e., borrowing but rewording that person’s facts, opinions, or ideas); and (c) summarizing another’s work (i.e., use of one’s own words to condense longer passages into a sentence or two). CONSEQUENCES OF ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: When dishonesty is evident, the following minimum sanctions will be applied: First offense: The student will receive an “F” or “Zero” as the grade for the assignment. Second offense: The student may receive an “F” for the course and may be expelled from the class. Third offense: The student will receive an “F” for the course and may be expelled from the college.
