Course Policies

First Week Requirements
Please login and submit the Week 1 XAMPP installation and Lesson 1 online quiz and assignment activity by 8/28 @11:59PM as indicated in your Lesson folder. This will demonstrate that you intend to complete the coursework. If you do not complete these assignments prior to this deadline, you will be dropped from the course for non-attendance and your seat will be opened up to allow someone on the waiting list to add the course before the deadline.

Assessment Methods
This course will use a variety of methods to assess student's learning of the course objectives. You will read the textbook, take short open book quizzes, complete assignments. You will participate in discussion board topics with your classmates, applying what we learn in the readings. Some group work may be assigned. Since this is a hybrid course, all assessment - quizzes, assignments, and discussions - will be done online, using the course management system and the additional materials and software listed above.

How the Course Operates
All of the lesson folder/links are available to you on Blackboard under the Lessons folder.  Every week you will follow the directions in the corresponding lesson folders which will take you through the required activities for that week. Some weeks you will be required to participate in discussion board posts. Follow the directions carefully to receive full credit. This course is not self-paced, so students must complete one lesson per week except Chapters 8 and 13. All due dates are posted for each quiz and assignment activity -- which is Monday @ 11:59PM.

Submitting Work
Quizzes and assignments cannot be submitted late.  They are due during the assigned week.

Late/Missed Assignments & Quizzes
Assignments and quizzes submitted after the due date deadline, will receive a ZERO. Please do all of the required exercise files for each lesson and submit one week after we finish the chapter in class. It is the responsibility of the student to proofread before submitting and accept the grade earned, learn from it, and apply those corrections to future assignments.

Student Data Files
The exercise files are provided in the Lessons folder --> Week 1.

Communication Guidelines & Netiquette
In all of our class communications, including discussion boards, emails, assignments, office hours, telephone, online chat, etc, please follow proper online netiquette which requires professional and courteous tone and presentation, and in no way contains anything lewd, offensive, indecent, or obscene.  Please see the syllabus supplements for more information.Please read the District Netiquette Guidelines available at the following link: http://www.sdccdonline.net/students/resources/NetiquetteGuidelines.pdf

Cheating/Plagiarism
Using my exercise files as your own constitutes cheating and you will be dropped from my class and you will be reported. Students are expected to be honest and ethical at all times in the pursuit of academic goals. Students who are found to be in violation of Administrative Procedure 3100.3 Honest Academic Conduct, will receive a grade of zero on the assignment, quiz, or exam in question and may be referred for disciplinary action in accordance with Administrative Procedure 3100.2, Student Disciplinary Procedures.

Student Code of Conduct

• Students are expected to adhere to the Student Code of Conduct at all times. Students who violate the Student Code of Conduct may be removed from class by the faculty for the class meeting in which the behavior occurred, and the next class meeting.
• Student access to class is removed for one week (5 instructional days).
• Acceptance of make‐up work during the removal.
  • I will not accept make up work.
• Incidents involving removal of a student from class will be reported to the college disciplinary officer for follow up.

The Student Code of Conduct can be found in Board of Trustees Policy, BP 3100, Student Rights, Responsibilities and Administrative Due Process posted on the District website at: http://www.sdccd.edu/public/district/policies/index.shtml

Attendance
Attendance in an online course works a little differently. Since this is a fully online course, you do not need to be anywhere at any specific time. That gives us all a little more flexibility in terms of when to work on the course material. You are expected to login and begin the coursework assigned to you on the first day of the course. This is a fully online course with no required on-campus meetings. Even though we won't be meeting each other face to face, you must login to Blackboard several times a week to stay informed and meet deadlines. Merely logging in is not enough. You must complete the work required of you for the week.  If you do not complete the required work for the week, you are considered absent for the week and you will receive a zero for all assignments.

Below are attendance guidelines:

• Each student MUST show consistent work each week in this class to avoid being DROPPED.
• Each student MUST TURN IN EACH ASSIGNMENT.
• Individual assignment grades may only be discussed with the instructor at the time of posting.

Drop Policy

All due dates will be monitored. Students will be dropped without warning after missing two consecutive due dates, meaning that you have not taken a quiz or turned in an assignment, within a two week period, you will be dropped from the course. No exceptions will be considered. You will not receive any advanced notice prior to being dropped from the course.

• It is the student’s responsibility to drop all classes in which he/she is no longer participating.
• It is the instructor’s discretion to withdraw a student after the add/drop deadlines due to non-participation.
• Students must be actively participating in the course, meaning logging into the course, submitting assignments, posting to the discussion board, etc., weekly. Again, it is the instructor’s discretion to withdraw a student who is not active in the course.
• Students who remain enrolled in a class beyond the published withdrawal deadline, as stated in the class schedule, will receive an evaluative letter grade in this class.

Grading
Each activity in the course is assigned a specific number of points. Specific instructions and grading rubrics for each of these activities will be given in Blackboard. Student grades are located in the My Grades tool in Blackboard.

Final Grades
Your final letter grades are based on the total points that you earn in the course.
