Assessments: Assessments for this course will include weekly online quizzes and two
proctored exams. The two exams must be taken at a testing center so
that they can be proctored. The exams will be closed book. Early in the
semester we will work out where you are going to take the proctored
exams. If you take the exams at any of Yavapai College’s testing
centers the proctoring will be free. If you are in a location that requires
a non Yavapai College affiliated testing center you may have to pay a
small fee to take the exams. (Usually about 15 – 30 dollars) You are
responsible for this fee to take the exams. Every effort will be made to
find a free testing center. There will be 13 online quizzes covering the
lecture and lab material. The questions on the quizzes will be similar,
but not identical, to those found on the exams. The point of the quizzes
is to prepare you for the types of questions you will see on the exams.
There will be weekly online labs. At the beginning of the semester
students will be required to complete a quiz covering the syllabus for the
class.

Grading (credit) criteria: Exams:

2 proctored exams at 200 pts apiece………………...…...400 pts.

Letter Grades: A = 918 – 1,020 pts. B = 816 – 917 pts. C = 714 – 815 pts. D = 612 –
713 pts. F ≤ 611 pts.

Labs: Labs will be graded for quality and completeness. Labs will be assigned
weekly and will be due on Wednesdays at 5 pm.

Quizzes: Quizzes will be given online about once a week. Each quiz will be
worth 25 points and will be due on Wednesdays at 5 pm.

Exams There will be two closed book comprehensive proctored exams during
the semester

Absences: There are no make-ups allowed for labs or quizzes. Exams can be made
up with instructor permission only. If the student misses an exam the
excuse must be accompanied by documentation. (ie, Doctor’s excuse)
No extra credit work is allowed.

Student Resources (as applicable)

Library services: Library services are available at the Prescott Campus and the Verde
 Valley Campus libraries. Both libraries are members of a countywide
library network, which provides access to a wide-range of information
and resources at libraries throughout Yavapai County. Possession of a
College library card entitles students to access materials housed at
member libraries. Instructors may place required course materials on
reserve in the library or make assignments that require the use of library
resources.

Learning Centers: A Learning Center is available on the Prescott and Verde Valley
Campuses. These centers provide a variety of learning support for
students including tutoring, adaptive computer and equipment for
students with disabilities, and a networked general computer lab.

Tutoring: Call for details: Prescott 776-2085 or Verde Valley 634-6562

Online resources and Online writing tutoring for any academic subject is available at
services: www2.yc.edu/content/learningcenters

Instructor Procedures and Institution Policies

Attendance: Students are expected to attend and participate in all class meetings,
laboratories, and field trips. A student who expects to be absent due to
another school-sponsored activity or compelling personal reason must
make prior arrangements with the instructor. All course work must be
made up as directed by the instructor. A student who does not adhere to
instructor and College attendance requirements may be dropped from
the course as defined in the Yavapai College General Catalog.

Course withdrawal: After the drop/add period closes, students may withdraw until the
deadline for student-initiated withdrawals. Withdrawals result in a "W"
on the permanent transcript.
For semester-length classes 14 weeks in length or longer, the withdrawal
deadline is November 1 in the Fall semester, April 1 in the Spring
semester.
For classes of 4 days to 14 weeks in length, withdrawals are permitted
until the class is 50 percent completed.
For classes of 1-3 days in length, withdrawals are permitted until the
class is 50 percent completed.
A "Y" is noted on the permanent transcript for an administrative
withdrawal. More information can be obtained from the Admissions &
Registration Office.

Academic integrity: Honesty in academic work is a central element of the learning

environment. The presentation of another individual’s work as one’s
own or the act of seeking unfair academic advantage through cheating,
plagiarism or other dishonest means are violations of the College’s
“Student Code of Conduct.” Definitions of plagiarism, cheating, and
violation of copyright and penalties for violation are available in the
Yavapai College General Catalog.

Student code of conduct: Respect for the rights of others and for the College and its property are
 fundamental expectations for every student. The “Student Code of
Conduct” outlines behavioral expectations, and explains the process for
responding to allegations of student misconduct.

Disability support services: Yavapai College is committed to providing educational support services
to students with documented disabilities. Academic support services or
accommodations for mobility impaired students must be arranged
through the ADA Coordinator (Prescott Campus: 928.776.2079 or
Verde Valley Campus: (928.634.6563).

Cell phone and pager: Yavapai College is committed to providing a quality learning
environment. All cell phones and pagers must be placed in a non-
audible mode while in classrooms, computer labs, the library, the
learning center, and testing areas. Cell phones and pagers must be used
outside these facilities.

Preventing Harassment: Students are expected to respond and write in a professional and
appropriate manner when activities are assigned to create scenarios,
discuss opinions, present on a selected subject, or post to a web board.
Inappropriate language or objectionable material will not be tolerated
and could result in a failing grade for the class. Students and faculty
each have responsibility for maintain an appropriate learning
environment. Students who fail to adhere to such behavioral standards
may be subject to discipline. Faculty have the professional
responsibility to treat all students with understanding, dignity and
respect, to guide classroom discussion and to set reasonable limits on the
manner in which they and their students express opinions. Professional
courtesy and sensitivity are especially important with respect to
individuals and topics dealing with differences of race, culture, religion,
politics, sexual orientation, gender variance and nationalities.
