The student must re-enroll to receive credit. COM (Completed) is given in non-credit and continuing education courses. To compute grade point average (GPA), divide the total grade points by the total number of semester hours attempted. The grades "IP," "COM" and "I" do not affect GPA.

Instructional Materials: Textbook: Adobe Creative Team: Adobe Press Classroom in a Book Adobe Premiere CC, 2014 release ISBN-13: ISBN-10: ALTERNATE TEXT: (previous edition: CC) ISBN 13: Other Materials:

5 Portable Hard Drive: You need Gb of storage to save all your materials and projects of the semester. I recommend a 1-2 Terabite drive from Buffalo, Seagate, or Western Digital with at least 7200RPM. If you can afford it, go for a solid state drive. DO NOT USE A DESKTOP EXTERNAL DRIVE! These are designed not to be portable. Have a drive, formatted for Apple computers, dedicated to this class Optional: Cloud-type account: If you are familiar with online cloud accounts and can afford the monthly fees, this is extremely convenient. You can also get a reliable portable hard drive to BACK UP your cloud, which has been known to wipe all personal files on the cloud when you authorize updates. Software: Adobe Premiere Pro CC, 2014 edition: This software is loaded in various computer labs at HCC Stafford and Westloop; please check for lab hours. Discount personal versions of this and any of the Adobe Creative Suites are available at student prices on Adobe.com Access Student Services Policies on their Web site: EGLS3 -- Evaluation for Greater Learning Student Survey System At Houston Community College, professors believe that thoughtful student feedback is necessary to improve teaching and learning. During a designated time near the end of the term, you will be asked to answer a short online survey of research-based questions related to instruction. The anonymous results of the survey will be made available to your professors and department chairs for continual improvement of instruction. Look for the survey as part of the Houston Community College Student System online near the end of the term. Access DE Policies on their Web site:

7 DISCIPLINE REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION: Any student with a documented disability (e.g. physical, learning, psychiatric, vision, hearing, etc.) who needs to arrange reasonable accommodations must contact the Disability Services Office at Southwest College at the beginning of each semester. Faculty are authorized to provide only the accommodations requested by the Disability Support Services Office. If you have a disability that qualifies you under the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), please contact Dr. Becky Hauri, to determine accommodations. SCHOLASTIC DISHONESTY Students are responsible for conducting themselves with honor and integrity in fulfilling course requirements. Penalties and/or disciplinary proceedings may be initiated by College System officials against a student accused of scholastic dishonesty. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating on a test, plagiarism, and collusion. CHEATING on a test includes: - Copying from another student test paper; - Using material during a test that are not authorized by the person giving the test; - Collaborating with another student during a test without authority; - Knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, transporting, or soliciting in whole or part the contents of an unadministered test; - Bribing another person to obtain a test that is to be administered. PLAGIARISM - means the appropriation of another s work and the unacknowledged incorporation of that work in one s written work offered for credit. COLLUSION - means the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing written work offered for credit. VIOLATIONS Possible punishments for academic dishonesty may include a grade of 0 or F on the particular assignment, failure in the course, and/or recommendation for suspension or expulsion will be referred to the College Dean of Students for disciplinary disposition. Students who wish to appeal a grade penalty should notify the instructional supervisor within 30 working days of the incident. A standing committee appointed by the College Dean of Instruction will convene to sustain, reduce, or reverse the grade penalty. The committee will be composed of two students, two faculty members, and one instructional administrator. A majority vote will decide the grade appeal and its final.
