COMBINED COURSE OUTCOMES This is a hands-on course that will provide you with the opportunity to learn the fundamentals

of using presentation applications. We will use the Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 program. Using

a presentation program will allow you to visually impress your audience and make powerful

arguments!

As part of the IBEST Office Assistant Certificate program, this offering of BTS 147 integrates

course outcomes from the Business Technology Systems department and the Developmental


Education department. These outcomes are listed together and are incorporated into the

curriculum as combined goals that IBEST instructors seek to help students achieve with equal

importance and dedication.

By the end of this course you will be expected to:

This section of BTS 147 Presentation Design & Delivery is part of the I-BEST Office Assistant

Certificate program. I-BEST stands for Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training. It is a

program that provides pre-college students the opportunity to enroll in college-level courses

and certificate programs. Eligible students are at ESL levels 5 and 6 or ABE levels 3 and 4.

The program allows these students to begin earning college certificates faster than traditional

models.

I-BEST students enroll in technical classes (such as this one) as well as an academic skills

class. The academic skills class is taught by a basic skills instructor. It provides support for

students and focuses on developing essential language and study skills.

The technical course is team taught by a content instructor Zorica Wacker and a basic skills

instructor Marie Brissette. The purpose of having two instructors in the class at the same time

is to combine their relative areas of expertise. One is an expert in the technical material while

the other is an expert in basic skills instruction.


Our goal, as your instructors, is to work together to make the lessons as clear and accessible

as possible. We will be writing key ideas and vocabulary on the whiteboard, answering and

asking questions, guiding individual students, roaming around the classroom, and doing what

we can to make the class informative and engaging. Our aim is to help you learn and keep up

with the pace of the class. In short, you have the advantage of getting two instructors for the

price of one. This syllabus is a tentative plan for the quarter. The instructor may choose to

change the plan as the quarter progresses.

ATTENDANCE Your coming to class is important! We meet twice a week and we do fill out many attendance

sheets for most of my students.

For the online part of this class we do expect you to “come to class”. This means you need to

go online to our class site at least once a day and check in. It is your responsibility to check

for announcements, emails, inbox and read through discussion board postings on a regular

basis. You are responsible for following instructions given through our class site. We do track

your “attendance” on our class site.

Each class day, you must attend. For each class you attend and participate in, you earn 10

points. In order to earn the full 10 points, you must not only show up in class, but also actively

participate. Tardiness (showing up late) earns 5 points. Total number of points for class

attendance and participation is 200 pts.

Attendance Verification: If you have paperwork that needs to be signed by me for attendance

verification please submit them to me at my faculty address:

[email protected]. Remember to have them to me at least 24-hours

PRIOR to their due dates, so I have enough time to submit them.

COMPUTER LABS & TUTORING

Tutoring is available in the BTS Tutor Lab. Online tutoring is also available. Here is the link for

BTS Lab hours: http://www.bellevuecollege.edu/asc/tutoring/schedule/bts-tech-lab.asp

COURSE COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS

Discussions (Canvas)

You will be asked to respond to a simple prompt on our class Canvas site discussion boards.

Do your best to answer these prompts fully and in your own words, as they will be graded. For

each discussion post one original post and two replies on your classmates’ posts.

End-of-Chapter Quizzes (MyITLab)

You will take an “End-of-Chapter Quiz” for each textbook chapter. Questions are taken from

the eText/textbook, but the test you take will be in MyITLab. You may take the test three times

to earn at least 90%. Any grade lower than 70% will be recorded as a zero.

Chapter Projects A and B

These are the main assignments from each chapter of our textbook – likewise, these projects

offer the most points of any assignment category. It is important that you complete these

assignments, as they will teach you how to use PowerPoint. They are detailed, step-by-step

instructions for learning PowerPoint’s various features, by completing a presentation. You will

complete them outside of class, using the software on your computer (Microsoft PowerPoint).

Simulation Trainings (MyITLab)

You may choose to do these extra-credit Simulation Trainings in MyITLab. They are web-

based, HTML5 simulations of PowerPoint, which will train you how to use the software, using

the same projects and outcomes as the A and B Projects. Like a tutor, the computer leads you

step-by-step through the various features, tools, and commands of Microsoft PowerPoint. It

http://www.bellevuecollege.edu/asc/tutoring/schedule/bts-tech-lab.asp







will be important for you to take your time with these Trainings—they are slow to respond

sometimes. Read every instruction carefully and follow them closely, including spelling and

grammar.

Grader Projects (your computer)

These are assignments from MyITLab. You will download the instructions from MyITLab,

follow the instructions by working in Microsoft PowerPoint, and upload your file to MyITLab for

automatic and immediate grading.

We will work on the Grader Projects in class; however, we may not finish them in class. If not,

you must complete them on your own, using the software on your computer (Microsoft

PowerPoint and MyITLab).

Exams

Our class will have two exams: midterm and final exam. Midterm exam will include first three

chapters of PowerPoint. In order to pass the class, you will need at least 70% on both exams.

Extra Credit

Designed to help you learn new skills or expand on the ones you have already learned in

class, extra credit will vary from class to class.

GRADING AND ASSIGNMENT TYPES

We will use a combination of discussions, chapter quizzes, chapter homework and

attendance. Due Dates are listed on the calendar tool. Yes, you may submit your homework

and tests early, prior to the due dates, if you wish .This is not a self-paced class. Assignments

are due each week. Assignments not received on time receive ZERO points.

Late work will NOT be accepted in this course. If you believe you have a valid reason

for turning in work late like illness or emergency, please contact us AS SOON AS

POSSIBLE. If you believe you will have to turn in work late, it is best if you contact us

BEFORE the due date if possible. If this is your concern, you may call or talk to us in

person, but it is best to message us in Canvas: we will forget, and Canvas leaves a

traceable trail. Your grade will be based on points earned for each of these:

INSTRUCTOR’S EXPECTATIONS/TIPS FOR SUCCESS

• Log onto our Canvas site regularly. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn.

• Read the syllabus! This syllabus outlines the class. Take the time to read it so there will

be no surprises!

• Ask questions. It is likely that if you are stuck or confused, so is someone else in the

class. Virtual help/discussion boards are available. Ask away!

• Plan ahead! Figure out how and when you will do the assignments. Start your

assignments early so you can ask questions when you are stuck and get answers! Don’t

procrastinate and wait until Saturday evening to start your work.

Keep up and practice your new skills!

• Proofread all documents you turn in. In the business world it is crucial to have effective,

correctly written communication skills. Write carefully, read the documents you turn in

more than once, or have someone else read it first before turning it in. Points will be

deducted for errors.

• Have fun! This class will challenge you. Enjoy the challenge as an opportunity for you to

learn as much as you can about Office software.

AFFIRMATION OF INCLUSION Bellevue College is committed to maintaining an environment in which every member of the

campus community feels welcome to participate in the life of the college, free from

harassment and discrimination.

We value our different backgrounds at Bellevue College, and students, faculty, staff members,

and administrators are to treat one another with dignity and respect.

Religious Holidays

Students who expect to miss classes, examinations, or any other assignments as a

consequence of their religious observance should be provided with a reasonable alternative

opportunity to complete such academic responsibilities. It is the obligation of students to


provide faculty with reasonable notice of the dates of religious holidays on which they will be

absent, preferably at the beginning of the term. Students who are absent on days of

examinations or class assignments should be offered an opportunity to make up the work

without penalty (if they have previously arranged to be absent), unless it can be demonstrated

that a makeup opportunity would constitute an unreasonable burden on a member of the

faculty. Should disagreement arise over what constitutes an unreasonable burden or any

element of this policy, parties involved should consult the department chair, or Dean.

COLLEGE ANTI-DISCRIMINATION STATEMENT Bellevue College does not discriminate on the basis of race or ethnicity; color; creed; national

origin; sex; marital status; sexual orientation; age; religion; genetic information; the presence

of any sensory, mental, or physical disability; gender identity or veteran status in educational

programs and activities which it operates.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND MANDATORY REPORTING

As an instructor, one of my responsibilities is to help create a safe learning environment on

our campus. It is my goal that you feel able to share information related to your life

experiences in classroom discussions, in your written work, and in our one-on-one meetings.

We will seek to keep information you share private to the greatest extent possible. However,

we are required to share with the Title IX Coordinator any and all information regarding sexual

assault and other forms of sexual misconduct (e.g. dating violence, domestic violence,

stalking) that may have occurred on campus or that impacts someone on campus. Students

may speak to someone confidentially by contacting the BC Counseling Center at (425) 564-

2212. The Title IX Office can be contacted at 425-564-2441 and more information can be

found at www.bellevuecollege.edu/titleix/.

For further information and contacts, please consult College Anti-Discrimination Statements.

DIVISION STATEMENTS

The BC IBIT (Business Division) leadership has provided the following descriptions of behaviors that are to be strictly avoided:

Cheating includes copying answers on exams, glancing at nearby exams, turning in assignments or papers that have been used in other classes, giving or receiving help during an exam, purchasing or selling notes, assignments or examination materials, etc..

Stealing includes taking the text, work, notes, exams, library quotations, or any other intellectual or personal property of others without their permission or knowledge.

Lying includes making untrue statements or making statements with a basis of truth but stated in such a way as to create an untrue impression or belief.

To clearly demonstrate your ethics, you must acknowledge via bibliography, citations, etc. where you have obtained information or ideas that are not your own, whether they are from fellow students, or sources within or outside BC. Information about Bellevue College's copyright guidelines can be found at: College Copyright Policy This link provides a good, short summary of how to avoid plagiarism: Avoiding Plagiarism

If we find that you have acted in what we believe to be an unethical manner by cheating, stealing, lying, or committing plagiarism, you will be dismissed from class and you will receive an F. This class cannot be dropped after the F is entered. Your behavior will be reported in writing to the Dean and will be added to your permanent record.

If you would like to appeal the decision, please refer to WA State laws for details on the

appeals process: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=132H-120-200

STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT AND ACADEMIC INTEGRITY Any act of academic dishonesty, including cheating, plagiarism (using the ideas or words of

another as one’s own without crediting the source), and fabrication and

inappropriate/disruptive classroom behavior are violations of the Student Code of Conduct at

Bellevue College. Examples of unacceptable behavior include, but are not limited to, talking

out of turn, arriving late or leaving early without a valid reason, allowing cell phones/pagers to

ring, and inappropriate behavior toward the instructor or classmates. The instructor can refer

by everyone, including students who are English-language learners, have a variety of learning

styles, have disabilities, or are new to online learning. Be sure to let us know immediately if

you encounter a required element or resource in the course that is not accessible to you. Also,

let us know of changes we can make to the course so that it is more welcoming to,

PUBLIC SAFETY Public Safety is located in the D building (D171) and can be reached at 425-564-2400 (easy to

remember because it’s the only office on campus open 24 hours a day—2400). Among other

things, Public Safety serves as our Parking Permits, Lost and Found, and Emergency

Notification center. Please ensure you are signed up to receive alerts through our campus

alerting system by registering at RAVE Alert Registration

If you work late and are uneasy about going to your car, Public Safety will escort you to your

vehicle. To coordinate this, please phone ahead and let Public Safety know when and where

you will need an escort.

Please familiarize yourself with the emergency postings by the door of every classroom and

know where to go in the event of an evacuation. Your instructor will be asked if anyone might

still be in the building, so check in before you do anything else. Emergency responders will

search for anyone unaccounted for.

If a major emergency occurs, please follow these three rules:

1) Take directions from those in charge of the response -We all need to be working together.

2) Do not get in your car and leave campus (unless directed to) - Doing so will clog streets

and prevent emergency vehicles from entering the scene. Instead, follow directions from

those in charge.

3) In an emergency, call 911 first, then Public Safety.

Please do not hesitate to call Public Safety if you have safety questions or concerns at any

time. You may also visit the Public Safety web page for answers to your questions.
