Evaluation Method:The
course grade will be determined by 1) attendance; 2) projects and practical
exams; and 3) lab exercises/homework assignments 4) Instructor’s
overall evaluation of the student’s performance, which includes
attitude and class participation in discussions and adhering to academic
policies and course guidelines. Failure to hand in a final or midterm
will result in an automatic zero for the evaluation. The final grade
will be computed as follows:
Lab exercises/Homework 35%
Projects and Exams 51%
Instructor’s Evaluation 5%
Attendance 9%
A = 90 - 100 percentage of total points
B = 80 - 89.9
C = 70 - 79.9
D = 60 - 69.9
F = 0 - 59.9
Attendance Policy: Arriving after the start time of
class or leaving before the end time of class is considered and absence.
No one is to leave the classroom during scheduled classes unless given
permission by the instructor.
College Attendance Policy:
Class attendance is a vital component of student success. For this reason,
it is expected that students will take seriously their need to attend
class on a punctual, regular and consistent basis. A student who misses
more than the equivalent of three weeks of class in any particular course
will be withdrawn from that course by the College. Students who miss
the first class meeting and are not present at the second class meeting
may be withdrawn from the course if the course is full and there is
one or more other students wanting to register for the course.
This attendance policy applies to absence for any reason, including
late registration for a course. Individual instructors may, at their
discretion, institute an attendance policy which allows fewer than three
weeks of absence. Individual instructors will determine the course policy
with respect to arriving late for class and leaving early from class.
All attendance policies for a course will be included in the course
outline. Appeals with respect to actions under this policy must be addressed
by the student to the Committee on the Standing of Students and Academic
Appeal.
Information Literacy Assignments: The computer field
changes rapidly. The only way to keep up with the field is to read technical
literature as well as popular newspapers and magazines. You will be
given assignments during the semester related to our need to keep pace
with the field.
Tutoring Services: Please be aware that Sullivan County
Community College provides tutoring for all students free of charge.
It is expected that many of the students in this course will use the
tutoring services. You may make appointments at the Center for Learning
Assistance near the Library.
Special Note: Anyone surfing the net, chatting, or
doing anything other than instructed inside of my classes will have
their user privileges taken away for one week. This means no login whatsoever
including for homework and other classes.
No late homework assignments will be accepted. If you miss a class,
you may contact me at rmcelrath@sullivan.suny.edu
to find out what was assigned that day, to turn in the work the next
class period. All work must be turned in with the following format hand
written on every page: Your full name, the chapter number, the page
number, and the exercise number. All work without the above format will
not be grade.
