Interpreting and CART services 713-718-6333 HCC Policy Statement: Academic Honesty A student who is academically dishonest is, by definition, not showing that the coursework has been learned, and that student is claiming an advantage not available to other students. The instructor is responsible for measuring each student's individual achievements and also for ensuring that all students compete on a level playing field. Thus, in our system, the instructor has teaching, grading, and enforcement roles. You are expected to be familiar with the College's Policy on Academic Honesty, found in the student catalog. What that means is: If you are charged with an offense, pleading ignorance of the rules will not help you. Students are responsible for conducting themselves with honor and integrity in fulfilling course requirements. Penalties and/or disciplinary proceedings may be initiated by College System officials against a student accused of scholastic dishonesty. “Scholastic dishonesty”: includes, but is not limited to, cheating on a test, plagiarism, and collusion. Cheating on a test includes: Copying from another students’ test paper; Allowing another person to take your online tests. Using materials not authorized by the person giving the test-for example, using a calculator; Collaborating with another student during a test without authorization; Knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, transporting, or soliciting in whole or part the contents of a test that has not been administered; Bribing another person to obtain a test that is to be administered. Plagiarism means the appropriation of another’s work and the unacknowledged incorporation of that work in one’s own written work offered for credit.

11

Collusion mean the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing written work offered for credit. Possible punishments for academic dishonesty may include a grade of 0 or F in the particular assignment, failure in the course, and/or recommendation for probation or dismissal from the College System. (See the Student Handbook) HCC Course Withdrawal Policy If you feel that you cannot complete this course, you will need to withdraw from the course prior to the final date of withdrawal, which is given in the college calendar. Before, you withdraw from your course; please take the time to meet with the instructor to discuss why you feel it is necessary to do so. The instructor may be able to provide you with suggestions that would enable you to complete the course. Your success is very important. 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. To help students avoid having to drop/withdraw from any class, HCC has instituted an Early Alert process by which your professor may “alert” you and HCC counselors that you might fail a class because of excessive absences and/or poor academic performance. It is your responsibility to visit with your professor or a counselor to learn about what, if any, HCC interventions might be available to assist you – online tutoring, child care, financial aid, job placement, etc. – to stay in class and improve your academic performance. If you plan on withdrawing from your class, you MUST contact a HCC counselor or your professor prior to withdrawing (dropping) the class for approval and this must be done PRIOR to the withdrawal deadline to receive a “W” on your transcript. **Final withdrawal deadlines vary each semester and/or depending on class length, please visit the online registration calendars, HCC schedule of classes and catalog, any HCC Registration Office, or any HCC counselor to determine class withdrawal deadlines. Remember to allow a 24-hour response time when communicating via email and/or telephone with a professor and/or counselor. Do not submit a request to discuss withdrawal options less than a day before the deadline. If you do not withdraw before the deadline, you will receive the grade that you are making in the class as your final grade. Last day to withdraw is Apr-16, 2020.

Student Course Reinstatement Policy:

Students have a responsibility to arrange payment for their classes when they register, either through cash, credit card, financial aid, or the installment plan. Faculty members have a responsibility to check their class rolls regularly, especially during the early weeks of a term, and reconcile the official class roll to ensure that no one is attending class whose name does not appear on it. Students who are dropped from their courses for nonpayment of tuition and fees who request reinstatement after the official date of record (OE Date) can be reinstated by making payment in full and paying an additional \$75 per course reinstatement fee. A student requesting reinstatement should present the registrar with a completed Enrollment Authorization Form with the signature of the instructor, department chair, or dean who should verify that the student has been attending class regularly. Students who are reinstated are responsible for all course policies and procedures, including attendance requirements.

Repeat Course Fee The State of Texas encourages students to complete college without having to repeat failed classes.

12

To increase student success, students who repeat the same course more than twice, are required to pay extra tuition. The purpose of this extra tuition fee is to encourage students to pass their courses and to graduate. Effective fall 2006, HCC charges a higher tuition rate to students registering the third or subsequent time for a course. If you are considering course withdrawal because you are not earning passing grades, confer with your instructor/counselor as early as possible about your study habits, reading and writing homework, test taking skills, attendance, course participation, and opportunities for tutoring or other assistance that might be available. Use of Camera and/or Recording Devices As a student active in the learning community of this course, it is your responsibility to be respectful of the learning atmosphere in your classroom/ Testing Center. To show respect of your fellow students and instructor, you will turn off your phone and other electronic devices, and will not use these devices when taking a Test unless you receive permission from the instructor. Use of recording devices, including camera phones and tape recorders, is prohibited in classrooms, laboratories, faculty offices, and other locations where instruction, tutoring, or testing occurs. Students with disabilities who need to use a recording device as a reasonable accommodation should contact the Office for Students with Disabilities for information regarding reasonable accommodations Instructor Requirements As your Instructor, it is my responsibility to: Provide the grading scale and detailed grading formula explaining how student grades are to be derived. Inform students of policies such as attendance, withdrawal, tardiness and make up. Provide the course outline and class calendar which will include a description of any special projects or assignments. Arrange to meet with individual students if requested. Student Requirements To be successful in this class, it is the student’s responsibility to: Read the Syllabus thoroughly before the start day of class. Read and comprehend the textbook Complete the required assignments and exams: Chapter Exams, Homework, Final Exam Ask for help when there is a question or problem Keep copies of all paperwork, including this syllabus, handouts and all assignments Learn to work without the use of a calculator Grading Your instructor will conduct exams, and assessments that you can use to determine how successful you are at achieving the course learning outcomes (mastery of course content and skills) outlined in the syllabus. If you find you are not mastering the material and skills, you are encouraged to reflect on how you study and prepare for each class. Your instructor welcomes a dialogue on what you discover and may be able to assist you in finding resources on campus that will improve your performance. As mentioned before,

13

Final course letter grade will be based on the course average. Course average calculation is based on Homework, Tests, and Final exam as shown in the following formula: Test 1 or Test3 (30%) + Test2 (20%) + H.W. (20%) + Final (30%) = Course Average. Final Exam is compulsory; Course grade will be ‘F’ if you miss the final exam. Grading Scale based on the Course Average after you take the Final Exam 90 - 100 = A 80 - 89 = B 70 - 79 = C 60 - 69 = D Below 60 = F Very Important: All your tests and Final will be on Canvas EXCEPT TEST 2. You have only one attempt on these tests and the Final Exam. You may choose a date within the given “available” days that suits you. For the online tests. please save your answers as you work through and at the end, save and submit when you have finished. Do not submit till you are done. Try to submit at least 5 minutes before you are about to run out of time. Though the exam will be visible after the time limit, your answers that are saved before the time limit are the only answers that will be used for the grade. Any answered and saved after the time limit does not get saved nor graded! The following are tentative dates for tests. Any changes will be notified to you through email; You will receive email on your Inbox on Canvas. Please update your contact phone number on DE registration form. Test Schedule(Tentative) Test Chapters Covered on Test Exam “Available” dates

Test #1 Chapter 1 and 2 Mar 12th -15th ; Fri-Sun (3 days)

Test #2 ONSITE

Chapter 3 Apr 3rd – 5th ; Fri-Sun (3 days)

Test # 3 Chapter 4 and 5 May 8th – 10th ; Fri-Sun (3 days)

Final Exam ONSITE (Tentative)

Chapters 1,2,3,4 and 5 May 14th -16th , Thu-Sat (3 days only)

Home Work: Due the day before each test opens (no extensions-sorry-don’t ask!). Homework and any Reviews and discussions (if given) relevant to each test will be closed, the day before the Test opens. Reviews or Discussions are not for a grade. A score on the reviews are provided for you to get a feedback on how much you are ready for each test.

14

Best advice: Must read your text book; do examples and problems in the text book. If you need to see more instructions, check the notes and videos on WebAssign, use as you need. Make use of online u-tubes and notes that you can find that are freely available to you Before each test: Daily do the homework as you study through the sections that are relevant to the test. Also, try the reviews as many times as you can. Work on the questions in the discussions and check your answers when the answer key is presented. Try to take the Tests before the Last day of availability! Never fall behind! FINAL GRADE OF FX Students who stop attending class and do not withdraw themselves prior to the withdrawal deadline may be assigned the final grade of “FX” at the end of the semester. Students who stop attending classes, miss exams, will receive a grade of “FX”, compared to an earned grade of “F” which is due to poor performance. Logging into a DE course without active participation is seen as non-attending. Please note that HCC will not disperse financial aid funding for students who have never attended class. Students who receive financial aid but fail to attend class will be reported to the Department of Education and may have to pay back their aid. A grade of “FX” is treated exactly the same as a grade of “F” in terms of GPA, probation, suspension, and satisfactory academic progress

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 the survey as part of the Houston Community College Student System online near the end of the term. Visit www.hccs.edu/EGLS3 for more information.
