SPECIFIC COURSE REQUIREMENTS a) A minimum grade of C (70%) if the course is a prerequisite. b) Cheating within the Communications and Information Division: Any violation of academic integrity on assignments, quizzes, or tests will result in a grade of 0 on that assignment, quiz, or test. A second violation in any course after the initial infraction will result 2

3 in a grade of F for that course. Any additional violations while in the program will result in a suspension from the program. For additional information, refer to the Academic Integrity pamphlet available from Student Services. c) Credit by Examination: Credit for the course CANNOT be earned through Credit by Examination. VI. METHODS OF PRESENTATION/INSTRUCTION Classroom: a) Lecture with demonstration using computer and projector. b) Hands on lab exercises using the computer. Online: a) Material is presented in a web based training format. b) Hands on exercises using the computer. VII. METHODS OF EVALUATION a) Overall course grade shall consist of the following: 1) Lincoln Campus: 30% Theory grade and 70% Lab grade 2) Milford Campus: 35% Theory grade and 65% Lab grade 3) Online: 30% Theory grade and 70% Lab grade b) Attendance Policy: 1) Lincoln Campus: Attendance is required. If you miss more than one lecture meeting, your final grade will have one percentage point deducted for each additional absence. 2) Milford Campus: Attendance will impact the overall course grade in the following manner: In this 75 hour class a student is allowed 6 hours of absences (8% of class time) before absences impact the course grade. A student having missed more than 8% of the total hours of the course will have a 1% (1 point) reduction of the final grade for each additional 2% of the total course hours missed beyond 8%. Once a student has had 10% (10 points) reduced from his/her final grade, each additional absence will result in a 5% (5 point) reduction of the final grade. For example, a student missing 10 hours of a 50 hour class will have 6 points deducted from the final grade. 10 hours 4 allowed hours 6 hours ( 6 hours * 1 point) = 6 point deduction A student missing 20 hours of a 50 hour class will have 40 points deducted from the final grade. 20 hours 4 allowed hours 16 hours 10 hours (10 hours * 1 point ) = 10 point deduction 6 hours (6 hours * 5 points) = 30 point deduction 40 point total deduction Students arriving to class late, but within the first 10 minutes of the scheduled starting time, will be considered tardy. Three tardies will be equivalent to one hour of absence. Arriving to class more than 10 minutes late will be equivalent to one hour of absence. Leaving class or lab early will be treated the same as a tardy or absence. Attendance will be taken each hour. 3

4 If a student is absent during a test, two absences will be recorded for that class period. Students may request an exemption from the grade reduction for special circumstances such as lengthy accident or illness recovery time. The program attendance review team will make the final determination. c) Milford Campus: Computer Programming Technology Program Due Date Policy: A program will not be accepted after the fifth school day following the program s due date. The exception to this would be the last program, which will only be accepted through the last day of the quarter. Failure to turn in all assigned programs will cause you to fail the course. To be accepted, a program must be free of syntax/runtime errors and its execution produces the minimum requirements of the program specification. d) Theory Grade: 1) Lincoln: a) Quizzes 15% b) Research 15% 2) Milford: a) Theory Tests 35% b) All points earned on theory tests will be totaled and then divided by the total points possible. 3) Online: a) Quizzes 15% b) Research 15% e) Lab Grade: 1) Lincoln: a) Practice (Lab) Assignments 15% b) Programming Assignments 55% 2) Milford: a) Lab Tests 40% b) Programs/Exercises 25% c) All points earned on lab tests will be totaled and divided by the total points possible. Lab tests are given over assigned programs. d) All points earned on programming assignments and exercises will be totaled and divided by the points possible. e) Program assignments will be graded on the following criteria: (25 points) Time 5 points are deducted for each day the program is late (20 points) Documentation storyboard, pseudocode ( 5 points) Instructor Discretion amount of help, overall content (25 points) Program structure and internal documentation (25 points) Output points are deducted for errors in the following categories: Spacing Invalid Contents Invalid Results Contents Omission If any section of the program grade receives a 0, the entire program grade may result in a 0. 4

5 Exercises worth from 5 to 50 points toward the program grade. f) Exercises will be graded primarily on the following criteria and worth from 10 to 20 points toward the program grade: Documentation storyboard, pseudocode Program structure and internal documentation Output points are deducted for errors in the following categories: Spacing Invalid Contents Invalid Results Contents Omission 3) Online: a) Practice (Lab) Assignments 15% b) Programming Assignments 55% f) SCC Standard Grading Scale Policy: = A = B = D = A = C = D = B = C Below 60 = F SYLLABUS STATEMENTS Statement of Equal Opportunity and Nondiscrimination It is the policy of Southeast Community College to provide equal opportunity and nondiscrimination in admission, attendance and employment matters for all qualified persons, attending or seeking admission to the College, without regard to race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, age, marital status, national origin, veteran status, sexual orientation, disability, or other factors prohibited by law.

SCC encourages and expects the highest standards of academic honesty from all students. Please note that cheating, plagiarism, or other forms of academic dishonesty are monitored and subject to disciplinary action. Electronic Devices Personal use of any electronic device not authorized by the instructor is prohibited. Violations may lead to formal disciplinary action. Instructors, for instructional purposes, may allow in the classroom the use of cell phones and personal electronic devices. 5

6 Firearms/Weapons Strictly Prohibited SCC policy prohibits the possession of firearms, weapons, or fireworks on College property or at any College sponsored event. Effective January 1, 2007, Nebraska State Statute makes it unlawful to carry a concealed handgun into a meeting of the governing body of a political subdivision, or collegiate athletic event; school, school grounds, school owned vehicle, or school sponsored activity or athletic event. These prohibitions apply to EVERYONE (employees, students, invitees, and visitors) and are enforceable EVERYWHERE (all college property and all college related events.) Violations of these prohibitions will result in disciplinary and/or law enforcement action. 6
