ATTENDANCE
Being in class is critical to your grade. Please be on time. If you need to miss class for some reason, please let me know.
- 3 excused absences allowed.
- 3 tardies=absence
- 3 unexcused absences = being dropped from the class.
In a learning community, if you are dropped from Coun 160, you are also dropped from Eng 100.
PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism is the act of submitting someone else's work as your own. This includes using a report or essay written by someone else, quoting from a source without giving that source credit, or taking someone else's ideas or thoughts and submitting them as your own. The school policy on plagiarism is simple: If you are caught, you will be sent to the Vice President of Instruction. We do this in order to identify problem students. Also, you will certainly fail the assignment. With repeated offenses, you will fail the course, and possibly be expelled from this institution. The bottom line is that we want your thoughts and ideas, in your words. Essays and reports sold through the mail are not acceptable and will get you into a great deal of trouble. If you use a passage from someone else, document it by giving the writer's name, the work the quote came from, and the page numbers. You must use the correct citation format on your final paper to receive full credit.
Next, a word about class conduct. You are all adults. This is a learning environment. It
is not your living room or a public place. I personally don't care how you speak to others or
your friends outside of this class, but it is my responsibility to keep some semblance of order
and decorum in this classroom. Treat others with respect and you will receive the same. I
reserve the right to remove anyone who cannot comply with the conduct guidelines set forth in
the college catalog. Know the rules and be respectful.
Finally, the campus learning center is located in the EDC building, 2nd floor, which has
tutors and other aids to help you. Use it! One last thing. I am willing to meet with you
if you need help or have any questions... but you must make an appointment! I expect
you to take the initiative to do the best you can this semester.
