Attendance/Class Participation Regular and punctual class attendance is expected of all students. If attendance or compliance with other course policies is unsatisfactory, the instructor may withdraw students from the class. You are expected to attend each scheduled class on time and to keep up with all assignments and requirements. There are no excused or unexcused absences. Classroom instruction and discussion directly relate to what you need to know to complete the required assignments and exams. You are responsible for the material you missed during your absence. Withdrawal Policy It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that his or her name is removed from the roll should he or she decides 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 submitted before the Final Withdrawal Date. The student is also strongly encouraged to retain their copy of the withdrawal form for their records. State law permits students to withdraw from no more than six courses during their entire undergraduate career at Texas public colleges or universities. With certain exceptions, all course withdrawals automatically count toward this limit. Details regarding this policy can be found in the ACC college catalog. Incompletes I do not give incompletes.

You are expected to learn and comply with ACC environmental, health and safety procedures and agree to follow ACC safety policies. Additional information on these can be found at http://www.austincc.edu/ehs.

Use of ACC email All College email communications to students will be sent solely to the student’s ACC mail account, with the expectation that such communications will be read in a timely fashion. ACC will send important information and will notify you 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 ACC mail account when communicating with instructors and staff and check their email once a week. Instructions for activating an ACC mail account can be found at http://www.austincc.edu/accmail/index.php Testing Center Policy Under certain circumstances, an instructor may have students take an examination in a testing center. Students using the Academic Testing Center must govern themselves according to the Student Guide for Use of ACC Testing Centers and should read the entire guide before going to take the exam. To request an exam, one must have: • ACC Photo ID • Course Abbreviation (e.g., ENGL) • Course Number (e.g., 2342) • Course Synonym (e.g.,10123) • Course Section ( e.g., 005) • Instructor’s Name Do NOT bring cell phones to the Testing Center. Having your cell phone in the testing room, regardless of whether it is on or off, will revoke your testing privileges for the remainder of the semester.

Academic work is defined as, but not limited to, tests and quizzes, whether taken electronically or on paper; projects, either individual or group; classroom presentations; and homework. Students with Disabilities Each ACC campus offers support services for students with documented physical or psychological disabilities. Students with disabilities must request reasonable accommodations through the Office for Students with Disabilities on the campus where they expect to take the majority of their classes. Students are encouraged to do this three weeks before the start of the semester. Student Rights and Responsibilities Each student is strongly encouraged to participate in class. In any classroom situation that includes discussion and critical thinking, there are bound to be many differing viewpoints. These differences enhance the learning experience and create an atmosphere where students and instructors alike will be encouraged to think and learn. On sensitive and volatile topics, students may sometimes disagree not only with each other but also with the instructor. It is expected that faculty and students will respect the views of others when expressed in classroom discussions. *** I reserve the right to make changes to this syllabus and other course policies, papers, and assignments. *** ***You must show me your proof of prerequisite before any work is accepted.*** *** You are responsible for your own learning and keeping up with your grades. All grades are posted on Blackboard. You must check your email and visit Blackboard between classes, as there will likely be communication from me that pertains to the following class. *** *** Plan on spending at least 3 hours working on class assignments for every hour you spend in the classroom. *** *** I am available for extra help and clarification. Utilize my office hours, online office hours, and email to answer questions between classes.
