XIII. COURSE POLICIES AND GUIDELINES:

Please refer to the Student Handbook.

1. Attendance
Because this is a classroom, mandatory attendance will be reduced to project presentation days. As per college policy, students are expected to
complete assignments on-time. While some projects span the entire semester, others are due on specific dates throughout the semester. Ten percent
(10%) of the total points available (or a minimum of 1 point) are deducted from a student's grade on a project when it is received after the stated due
time (usually 11:00 a.m.) on the due date unless otherwise stated on the rubric for the individual project/assignment. An additional 5% (or a
minimum of 1 point) is deducted for each day the project/assignment is late. Work that is more than one week late will not be accepted without a
doctor's note submitted to the instructor or proof of other emergency beyond the student's control. Be sure to consult the rubric for the individual
project for more complete details. Students who are unable to complete the work during the semester are eligible for an Incomplete only if the reason
fits the College's guidelines for an incomplete. If an Incomplete is granted, it will automatically convert to the grade of F if the work is not completed
by the end of the following semester.

2. Tests and Make-ups

All quizzes for this course must be completed. The final examination will be delivered during class schedule.

3. Extra Credit. Students are expected to complete the projects as required for the class and to do the best they can on each project
throughout the semester. Thus, it is the policy of the instructor not to give additional assignments for extra credit for students who wish to pull up
their grades at the end of semester.

Every attempt is made to provide a complete syllabus that provides an accurate overview of the courses. However, circumstances and events may
make it necessary for the instructor to modify the syllabus during the semester. This may depend, in part, on the progress, needs and experiences
of the students.

4. Students participate in the discussion, and answer the discussion questions. Failure to do those in 3 weeks will mean dropping from the course.

5. Requirements such as assignments/projects should be submitted/posted on or before the given deadline.

8
 6. Coordinate with the professor, using various modes given on concerns/problems regarding the requirements.

7. Non-submission of requirements will be incomplete from the course.
