Basis for Grades

Lecture Exams

3 in number

45% of grade

T/F, multiple choice, fill in the blanks, short essays

Will cover specific chapters and appendices (see schedule)

Closed book

Except for the last Lecture Exam, Lecture Exam 3, if you take a Lecture Exam up to one week after an exam date, then Dr. Daniel will deduct 10% from your exam grade.  Except for the last lecture exam, if you take a Lecture Exam between one week and two weeks late, then Dr. Daniel will deduct 20% from your exam grade.  If you take a Lecture Exam after two weeks from the administration date; you will receive a grade of zero (0%) for the exam.

The exception to this policy is Lecture Exam 3 because it is the final.  If you do not take Lecture Exam 3 on or before the Lecture Exam 3 scheduled/deadline date, then Dr. Daniel will assign a grade of zero (0%).  You will not be able to take Exam 3 after the scheduled/deadline date.

Lab Assignments

Follow the book.  Some are graded by the system.

Exception to Grade Reduction

To prevent the 10% or 20% grade reduction, you must meet the following conditions:

1. You must have experienced an unforeseen and sudden emergency.  Note:  getting behind in the course is not an unforeseen emergency.
2. You must present Dr. Daniel documented proof of your emergency.
3. You must contact Dr. Daniel in person, by phone, or by e-mail of your emergency on or before the exam deadline date or the exam administration date and time.

Retesting & Extra Credit

Dr. Daniel does not allow retesting nor extra credit to raise your grade.

Important Grading Notes

Grades will be posted as they are earned throughout the semester.  You must report (in writing) all grading issues within seven calendar days of the grade being posted.  If you have not reported a grading issue within the seven calendar days, then the grade will be final. 

Grades are based on achievement, not effort.

Attendance and Class Participation

Students are expected to attend classes and will be held responsible for all material covered in class.  Regular attendance helps ensure satisfactory progress towards completion of the course.  If attendance or compliance with other course policies is unsatisfactory, the instructor may withdraw students from the class.  I will take attendance at every class.

In the event the college or campus closes due to unforeseen circumstances (for example, severe weather or other emergency), the student is responsible for communicating with their professor during the closure and completing any assignments or other activities designated by their professor as a result of class sessions being missed.

Withdrawal Policy

The College defines withdrawals as occurring after the official reporting date of the semester, typically the 12th class day.  In addition, the Legislature has mandated the Rule of Six (see the following).  Additionally, there may be financial aid issues.

It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that his or her name is removed from the rolls should they decide to withdraw from the class.  The instructor does, however, reserve the right to drop a student should he or she feel it is necessary.  If a student decides to withdraw, he or she should also verify that the withdrawal is recorded before the Final Withdrawal Date.  The Final Withdrawal Date for this semester is Apr 27, 2020.  The student is also strongly encouraged to keep any paperwork in case a problem arises.  It is not the responsibility of the instructor to withdraw the students from their class even though the instructor has the prerogative to do so under the preceding listed circumstances.

Students are responsible for understanding the impact that withdrawal from a course may have on their financial aid, veterans’ benefits, and international student status.  Per state law, students enrolling for the first time in Fall 2007 or later at any public Texas college or university may not withdraw (receive a W) from more than six courses during their undergraduate college education. Some exemptions for good cause could allow a student to withdraw from a course without having it count toward this limit. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with an advisor when making decisions about course selection, course loads, and course withdrawals.”

Incomplete

A student may receive a temporary grade of “I” (Incomplete) at the end of the semester only if ALL of the following conditions are satisfied:

1. The student is unable to complete the course during the semester due to circumstances beyond their control.
2. The student must have earned at least half of the grade points needed for a “C” by the end of the semester.
3. The request for the grade must be made in person at the instructor’s office and necessary documents completed.

To remove an “I”, the completion date for unfinished work cannot be later than the withdrawal deadline for the following semester.  Failure to do so will result in the grade automatically reverting to an “F”.

Be Punctual!!!!!

We have much information to cover in a very short time.  We can only do this if you are on time.  In addition, being late is disruptive to your fellow students.  The times for this course are shown on the “Tear Off Sheet.”  I start on the dot.

Electronics

Texting, Cell phones.  No use allowed in class.

Laptops.  You are more than welcome to use your own laptop in class.  In fact, this is preferable since you will have the files and procedures on a computer you are familiar.  Yes, you can use your own laptop on the exam.

Electronic note taking:  laptops. PDAs, etc.  OK.

Voice recording.  OK.  Just remember, you cannot use the recordings for commercial use or put them on the Internet.

Photos, videos.  Not allowed at all.

Surfing the net & e-mail.  Not allowed.  The quickest way to get a bad grade is to come to class and do e-mail, Facebook, etc. instead of learning. 

iPods.  No in lecture.  OK during labs as long as your next door neighbor can’t hear it, i.e., keep the volume down.

Food and Drinks

The College prohibits food in computer classrooms.  You can bring something to drink, must be non-alcoholic, to class.  The tops must be tightly sealed.  For example, a sport drink is OK (screw top) but a Super—Monster soft drink from a convenience store is not (flimsy top).  Since most classrooms are scheduled constantly, there is little time to clean during the day so clean up after yourself.

Smoking & Tobacco Products

ACC is a totally tobacco free environment, which includes both inside the buildings and the outside grounds.  See the College’s website for details.

Unattended Children

For safety reasons and to avoid distractions, unattended children are not allowed on campus.  Children may not be taken to classes or testing centers, and may not be left unattended in the Library, Student Lounge, or elsewhere on campus.

ACC Gmail

All correspondence from the College, Blackboard, and this professor goes exclusively to your ACC Gmail account; therefore, it is mandatory that you activate and use your ACC Gmail account.  Failure to use your Gmail account is neither an excuse to miss deadlines in this class nor official correspondence from the College, especially from the Registrar’s Office.

Instructions for activating your ACC email account can be found at www.austincc.edu.

I’m always asked can I forward my ACC Gmail account to my private or even business e-mail.  Sure.  Will you receive your ACC e-mail?  Maybe—maybe not.  Colleges and universities are constantly being phished (an identity theft attack).  Unfortunately, many students and even faculty fall for this attack and give out userids and passwords to the phishers.  The attackers instantly turn these userids into spammers.  For this reason, multiple Internet service providers (Time Warner, AT&T, etc.) and businesses will blacklist various colleges and universities.  Blacklisting means they will not accept ANY e-mail from the blacklisted organizations.  This is a nice way of saying those e-mails go into the “big bit bucket in the sky.”

It can take a long time to get off the blacklist.  If you are forwarding your ACC Gmail to an e-mail account that has blacklisted ACC, like Time Warner at one time, you will NOT get your ACC e-mail; then you are back to what was noted in the first paragraph.

Bottom line—use your ACC Gmail account.  If you forward mail, ensure you are getting it.

Personal E-mail and Phone Numbers

There are group projects in this class that require you to work as a team outside of the classroom.  To be effective, group members will have to share each other’s phone numbers and e-mail addresses.  If you object to this, please discuss with me now.  Note, I will not publicize a general class list of phone numbers or the like.  You are just sharing within your group.

Statement on Scholastic Dishonesty

A student attending ACC assumes responsibility for conduct compatible with the Mission of the college as an educational institution.  Students have the responsibility to submit coursework that is the result of their own thought, research, or self-expression.  Students must follow all instructions given by faculty or designated college representatives when taking examinations, placement assessments, tests, quizzes, and evaluations.  Actions constituting scholastic dishonesty include, but are not limited to, plagiarism, cheating, fabrication, collusion, and falsifying documents.  Penalties for scholastic dishonesty will depend upon the nature of the violation and may range from lowering a grade on one assignment to an “F” in the course and/or expulsion from the college.

See the Student Standards of Conduct and Disciplinary Process on the ACC website.

For this course, the penalty for scholastic dishonesty is a grade of ‘F’ for the course.

Freedom of Expression Policy

It is expected that faculty and students will respect the views of others when expressed in classroom discussions.

Student Rights and Responsibilities

Students at the college have the rights accorded by the U.S. Constitution to freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, petition, and association.  These rights carry with them the responsibility to accord the same rights to others in the college community and not to interfere with or disrupt the educational process.  Opportunity for students to examine and question pertinent data and assumptions of a given discipline, guided by the evidence of scholarly research, is appropriate in a learning environment.  This concept is accompanied by an equally demanding concept of responsibility on the part of the student.  As willing partners in learning, students must comply with college rules and procedures.

Student Privacy of Files

For academic purposes, an instructor may view a student’s information and data that he/she stores in his/her student volume in the Computer Studies Labs.

Students with Disabilities Policy

Each ACC campus offers support services for students with documented physical or psychological disabilities.  Students with disabilities who need classroom, academic or other accommodations must request them through the office of Student Accessibility Services (SAS).  Students are encouraged to request accommodations when they register for courses or at least three weeks before the start of the semester; otherwise, the provision of accommodations may be delayed.  Students who have received approval for accommodations from SAS for this course must provide the instructor with the ‘Notice of Approved Accommodations’ from SAS before accommodations will be provided.  Arrangements for academic accommodations can only be made after the instructor receives the ‘Notice of Approved Accommodations’ from the student.  Students with approved accommodations are encouraged to submit the ‘Notice of Approved Accommodations’ to the instructor at the beginning of the semester because a reasonable amount of time may be needed to prepare and arrange for the accommodations.

Tutoring

Free tutoring is provided for this course both on line and face-to-face.  For online schedules and details, please refer to http:://www.austincc.edu/cit

Student and Instructional Services

ACC strives to provide exemplary support to its students and offers a broad variety of opportunities and services.  Information on these services and support systems is available here.  Links to many student services and other information can be found at Current Students. ACC Learning Labs provide free tutoring services to all ACC students currently enrolled in the course to be tutored.  The tutor schedule for each Learning Lab may be found here. For help setting up your ACCeID, ACC Gmail, or ACC Blackboard, see a Learning Lab Technician at any ACC Learning Lab.

Internet Policies

My instructor, Professor Dwight D. Daniel, has informed me of the following information:

• This course has an Internet component.
• The Internet contains some Web pages with text, graphic, animation, and video content that are of an adult nature.  Some Web pages contain nudity, sexually oriented text information, and profanity.
• I will not direct you to any information on the Internet that contains sexually oriented material or material that displays profanity other than state and federal statutes, rules, regulations, legal cases, and legal commentary regarding indecency and obscenity laws and their application.  If this is offensive to you, you must inform me in writing prior to the reading assignment and class.  I will work with you to determine an acceptable accommodation.
• Dr. Daniel has advised me to not view any Internet material that may be offensive to me.
• Dr. Daniel has warned me that I could accidentally or intentionally, locate and view offensive material on the Internet.  If this happens, I advise you not to view this material.  Furthermore, I advise you not to view offensive material on any computer in the University.

High School Students!

ACC does NOT observe the same holidays and days off as AISD, RRISD, etc.  High schools get many days off during the semester that ACC does NOT observe.  If your high school is closed and ACC is not, you still have to come to your ACC class; and you are still responsible for due dates.

Emergency School Closures

If it is necessary for the school to close due to inclement weather or for other reasons, ACC will make the announcements on the typical radio and TV stations and the ACC website.  It is important to note:

1. Closure of AISD, RRISD, does not mean ACC is closed.
    
2. There are night and day classes at ACC and one or the other but not both may be canceled so listen to the announcement fully.
    
3. ACC has a tendency to close campuses and not the whole system so again listen to the announcement fully.
    
4. ACC has a campus-wide announcement system for emergency closures if you are already in class.  Please note, a non-ACC campus where ACC courses are being taught may not have the campus-wide announcement system in place.

Discrimination Prohibited

The College seeks to maintain an educational environment free from any form of discrimination or harassment including but not limited to discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.

Faculty at the College are required to report concerns regarding sexual misconduct (including all forms of sexual harassment and sex and gender-based discrimination) to the Manager of Title IX/Title VI/ADA Compliance.  Licensed clinical counselors are available across the District and serve as confidential resources for students.

Additional information about Title VI, Title IX, and ADA compliance can be found in the ACC Compliance Resource Guide available at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o55xINAWNvTYgI-fs-JbDyuaMFDNvAjz/view

Use of ACC email

All College e-mail communication to students will be sent solely to the student’s ACCmail account, with the expectation that such communications will be read in a timely fashion. ACC will send important information and will notify students of any college- related emergencies using this account. Students should only expect to receive email communication from their instructor using this account.  Likewise, students should use their ACCmail account when communicating with instructors and staff.  Information about ACC email accounts, including instructions for accessing it, are available at:  http://www.austincc.edu/help/accmail/questions-and-answers

I’m always asked can I forward my ACC Gmail account to my private or even business e-mail.  Sure.  Will you receive your ACC e-mail?  Maybe—maybe not.  Colleges and universities are constantly being phished (an identity theft attack).  Unfortunately, many students and even faculty fall for this attack and give out userids and passwords to the phishers.  The attackers instantly turn these userids into spammers.  For this reason, multiple Internet service providers (Time Warner, AT&T, etc.) and businesses will blacklist various colleges and universities.  Blacklisting means they will not accept ANY e-mail from the blacklisted organizations.  This is a nice way of saying those e-mails go into the “big bit bucket in the sky.”

It can take a long time to get off the blacklist.  If you are forwarding your ACC Gmail to an e-mail account that has blacklisted ACC, like Time Warner at one time, you will NOT get your ACC e-mail; then you are back to what was noted in the first paragraph.

Bottom line—use your ACC Gmail account.  If you forward mail, ensure you are getting it.

Use of the Testing Center

Under certain circumstances, examinations may have to be taken in a testing center. The ACC Testing Centers follow standard procedures so students know what to expect when they arrive to take their tests. Students should familiarize themselves with the student guidelines.

Students must present an ACC student ID card or government issued ID and know their ACC ID number before they can test.

It is necessary to check in at the Testing Center kiosk before taking a test. To check in, one must know the following information:

• Student ID number
• Course prefix and number
• Course synonym
• Course section number
• Test number
• Instructor’s name

Personal belongings such as backpacks, books, and electronic devices (including, but not limited to, cell phones and smart watches) are not allowed in the Testing Center. Possession of prohibited items or accessing unapproved resources in the testing room will result in the immediate termination of the exam and possible disciplinary action.

For additional information on using the Testing Center, please go to: http://www.austincc.edu/students/testing-services/instructional-testing

The success of our students is paramount, and ACC offers a variety of support services to help, as well as providing numerous opportunities for community engagement and personal growth.

Written communication is a key part of any professional’s day‐to‐day responsibilities.  Throughout your career, your writing will be used to assess your priorities, personality, and capabilities.  In today’s world, it is common to have a close working relationship with someone exclusively through e-mail.  To these people, YOU ARE WHAT YOU WRITE!  Thus, it is imperative that you develop the ability to write effective, professional, and error‐free communications in a variety of formats.

You will NOT receive the grade you want in this class if your deliverables contain major grammatical or syntactical errors, spelling mistakes, or poor organization.  Slang, “text speak,” and other highly informal language is not appropriate in any business context (including e-mails to your professor).  I realize that this is not an English or Writing course, but you MUST write well to be successful.  The earlier and more often you practice professional writing techniques, the sooner they will become second nature.

It is perfectly acceptable (and encouraged) to ask a peer to proofread your deliverable before handing it in.  Just be sure to follow the Academic Dishonesty Guidelines – proofreading does NOT mean copying!  The peer editing process helps both participants (editor and edited) improve their writing skills and understanding of the material.  There are also tutors at various campuses that can help you.

Online correspondence can easily be misread and misinterpreted due to the absence of facial expressions, body language, and voice cues. Netiquette is "the rules of conduct as established in a networked society." Netiquette provides a framework for emails, chats, and forum in an online environment.

Netiquette says that you should treat your instructor and fellow students in a professional and respectful manner, similar to how you would treat them in the classroom or face-to-face setting. Following the rules of Netiquette, you can expect your instructor to address all correspondence in a polite and professional manner. Your instructor will expect the same respect and may send a warning, choose not to reply to, or take action against rude, offensive, or accusatory messages. You may report any violations of netiquette to your instructor.

If you have any questions regarding netiquette, please review an online guide to Netiquette at http://www.albion.com/netiquette/corerules.html .

Health and safety are of paramount importance in classrooms, laboratories, and field activities. Students are expected to learn and comply with ACC environmental, health and safety procedures and agree to follow ACC safety policies.  Emergency Procedures posters and Campus Safety Plans are posted in each classroom and should be reviewed at the beginning of each semester.  All incidents (injuries/illness/fire/property damage/near miss) should be immediately reported to the course instructor.  Additional information about safety procedures and how to sign up to be notified in case of an emergency can be found at http://www.austincc.edu/emergency

Everyone is expected to conduct themselves professionally with respect and courtesy to all. Anyone who thoughtlessly or intentionally jeopardizes the health or safety of another individual may be immediately dismissed from the day’s activity and will be referred to the Dean of Student Services for disciplinary action.

In the event of disruption of normal classroom activities due to an emergency situation or an illness outbreak, the format for this course may be modified to enable completion of the course.  In that event, students will be provided an addendum to the class syllabus that will supersede the original version.

Campus Carry

The Austin Community College District concealed handgun policy ensures compliance with Section 411.2031 of the Texas Government Code (also known as the Campus Carry Law), while maintaining ACC’s commitment to provide a safe environment for its students, faculty, staff, and visitors.  Beginning August 1, 2017, individuals who are licensed to carry (LTC) may do so on campus premises except in locations and at activities prohibited by state or federal law, or the college’s concealed handgun policy.  In addition, concealed weapons are not allowed on ACC-sponsored field trips where the school owns or has chartered or leased vehicles for transportation.

It is the responsibility of license holders to conceal their handguns at all times.  Persons who see a handgun on campus are asked to contact the ACC Police Department by dialing 222 from a campus phone or 512-223-7999.   Please refer to the concealed handgun policy online at http://austincc.edu/campuscarry
