There will be no grade of "D" awarded in this course.

Letter grades will be awarded if a student completes all work, including the final exam.

Attendance Policy

Online and Live Online Attendance

First Week of Class:

To remain in the class you must take the syllabus quiz and email the instructor within 48 hours of the start date. For classes starting on Monday, students have until 11:59pm Tuesday to meet these attendance requirements. Any student not responding by Wednesday WILL be withdrawn from the class.

At Maricopa Community College schools, students must be engaging in some type of
academic activity each week in a Live Online or Online course. Faculty must report a
student’s last date of attendance and withdraw the student within fourteen (14) days of
identifying the last date of academic attendance.
Simply logging into an online class will not count as academic attendance. The following is a
list of activities that constitute online class academic attendance:

● Attending a Live Online class session.
● Submitting an academic assignment (assignment required in the course, regardless
of whether it is graded or not), paper, or project.
● Taking an exam, quiz, computer-assisted instruction, or an interactive tutorial
required by the course.
● Initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a question about the academic
subject studied in the course.

Withdraw and Reinstatement

Students are primarily responsible for withdrawing from a class. If you have failed to withdraw and have not completed an exam, you will be graded based on a score of zero for the exam. This may result in an F for your final grade.

Students may be WITHDRAWN from the course for insufficient participation at any time during the semester. Insufficient participation is:

• 
  
  No activity of substance in the course during the first 2 days of the class.
  
  


• 
  
  No response within three (2) days to a message I send you.
  
  


• 
  
  Failure to contact me stating that you will be late with a submission prior to that submission's due date as shown in the course schedule listed in the Modules.
  
  


• 
  
  No activity of substance or submission of assignments for 2 consecutive weeks.
  
  

If you have been WITHDRAWN and feel it is in error, contact me in accordance with the information in your Student Catalog. Click on the Student Catalog link for information.
If you are receiving financial aid of any kind, it is your responsibility to protect your eligibility to receive financial aid by meeting the attendance requirements of this class.

Policies on software usage and / or misuse and academic dishonesty.

Software Usage/Misuse

It is illegal to copy the software from GCC for your own use. Students who do so will be withdrawn with a 'Y' (withdrawn failing) from the course. Any student attempting to or misusing the classroom intranet or the Internet during class time will be warned. If action continues, the student will be removed from class.

Academic Dishonesty

Students are expected to do their own assignments without any but the most casual help from others, unless working on a group project as directed by your instructor. Your instructor is available to help students with assignments, either during regularly scheduled class time or by appointment at other times.
Any indication of misconduct (as defined in the Student Catalog) which includes, but is not limited to, copying of work between students, could result in a reduction of one full letter grade for the course with the exception of the originator of shared work.
The originator of any duplicated work (and the "originator" can be determined) will receive a 0 (zero) for the assignment. The originator of the file will be presumed to have willfully distributed it to all others unless they can prove otherwise.
DO NOT SHARE YOUR HARD WORK, STORE IT SECURITY AND IMMEDIATELY REPORT THE LOSS OF ANY MEDIA ON WHICH YOUR WORK IS STORED TO YOUR INSTRUCTOR.
A second offense by any party or the use of lost or stolen work will result in a grade of "F" or Withdrawn Failing "Y" for the course as well as a referral to the appropriate Dean.

Disclaimer

All provisions in this syllabus are subject to revision by the instructor. Such revisions, if any, will be announced in class. The student is responsible for making note of all such announcements concerning syllabus revisions and assignments, and, in the case of absence or tardiness, to contact the instructor to determine if any such announcements, revisions, or assignments were made while the student was absent from class.

Instructor Notes:

The Instructor of Record reserves the right to change any of the preceding course policies/procedures or course requirements

Emergency Situations

In the event of an emergency, it may be necessary for GCC to suspend normal operations.
GCC may opt to continue delivery of instruction through alternative methods including
online tools, Canvas, email, and/or an alternate schedule. It’s the responsibility of the
student to contact professors and monitor the Canvas site for course specific
communication, and the main GCC website, emails, and RAVE messages for important
general information. Campus support services may also be suspended or delivered in an
alternative format.

COVID-19 Student and Faculty Illness

In the event of student illness, students should contact the faculty member as soon as
possible to see if alternative arrangements can be made. Attendance policies will follow the
syllabus for each course. Additionally, please be sure to report your Coronavirus (COVID-
19) Diagnoses to help us manage the risk within our community. In the event of faculty
illness, the faculty member or representative of the GCC department will contact students
with the next steps for continuing the course.

Recording in the Classroom (in person or online)

During class sessions (Live Online or in person), the instructor may record the class session
for future use. Please contact the instructor with any questions or concerns prior to the start
of any Live Online sessions.
Electronic video, image capture, and/or audio recording by students is not permitted during
class, whether conducted in person or online, unless the student obtains permission from
the instructor. If permission is granted, any distribution of the recording is prohibited.
Students with specific electronic recording accommodations authorized by Disability
Resource Services do not require instructor permission; however, the instructor must be
notified of any such accommodation prior to recording. Any distribution of such recordings is
prohibited.

Face Coverings On-Campus

District policy requires all individuals on campus to wear a face covering or mask while
indoors. This policy protects the health and safety of the students, faculty and staff in the
college/District community during the COVID-19 pandemic. If you need an accommodation
from wearing a face covering for a health-related reason or an existing disability, please call
the Disability Resource Services (DRS) office to begin the process for requesting an
accommodation. Students who have a religious reason for not wearing a face covering
should file a request for a religious accommodation with the Dean of Student Life Office.
Their request will be evaluated according to the Religious Accommodation Procedure.
Until such time as you receive an accommodation, you must either wear a face covering
or leave class. Note that faculty have the discretion to excuse the absence and do not have
to modify their attendance requirements unless an official accommodation is granted to the
student.
Students who refuse to wear a face covering to class (while the face covering requirement is
in place) and who have no accommodation in place (due to religious, health-related reasons
or an existing disability) and have not worked with their faculty member or school
administration regarding moving to an online class may be referred for a code of conduct
violation (failure to follow college policy/directives). Refusal to leave class after being told to
leave by the instructor (due to refusal to wear the face covering) should be treated as are
other classroom disruption cases, including calling Public Safety if necessary.
