COURSE POLICY:

·      Class and lab participation is essential in learning computer technology.  It is your responsibility to attend the class/lab in order to achieve good learning, therefore obtain a good grade.

·       You must NOT miss a test unless you have a verifiable written excuse.  An unexcused absence from a test will result in a numerical grade of zero for that test.

·      The homework material may be included in the exams.  Therefore, doing homework assignments yourself is essential in obtaining a good score in an exam.

·      Late assignments will be penalized 10% per day after the assigned due day. (Back to top)

 

ACADEMIC HONESTY:

The integrity of students is a critical component of the academic process.  All written work submitted in this course must be individual work unless the instructor assigns a team of students to work on an assignment. Students must properly document all outside sources used for projects, programs, and homework. The submission of another’s work as one’s own is plagiarism, and will be dealt with using the procedures outlined on the Undergraduate Catalog. You may view the GCSU code of conduct online.
