Research on college success demonstrates that class attendance is a significant factor in student success. Considerable material will be covered during each class session. There will be discussion of assignments, and handouts will be distributed. If a student must miss class, it is his/her responsibility to get the notes and assignments from a classmate and check with the instructor regarding any handouts, etc., preferably before the next class period.  To help me fulfill my responsibility to keep accurate attendance records, please initial the attendance sheet circulated at the beginning of each class session.  As a small incentive, I will give you one/half point of extra credit for each class fully attended.  Online students will receive a bonus point total based on time spend utilizing the different components of Blackboard.

Pagers should be non-audible.  Cell phones should be turned off.  Students may be subject to a 5 point penalty for every occurrence of an audible/disruptive ring tone.

Tape recorders may only be used with the prior consent of the instructor.

Eating in the classroom is forbidden.  Drinks will be allowed as long as care is exercised. Eating and drinking are absolutely forbidden in any of the computer labs.

The Prince George’s Community College Student Handbook contains official policies and procedures regarding student conduct, academic integrity, and related matters. You are responsible for conducting yourself in accordance with those policies. The Student Handbook also contains a wealth of information designed to help students achieve success. Please pick up your free copy from the College Life Office in the Largo Student Center (near the bookstore).

Students requesting academic accommodations are required to contact the Disability Support Services Office (B-124) or call (301) 322-0838 (voice) or (301) 322-0122 (TTY) to establish eligibility for services and accommodations.  Students with documented disabilities should discuss the matter privately with their instructors at the beginning of the semester and provide a copy of their Student/Faculty Accommodation Form.

All of the computer projects required in this course must be accomplished using Microsoft Office 2003 or later.  Office 2007 is preferred.  In order for you to do some of the HTML exercises at home, you will need to have access to a FTP program (such as WS-FTP) to publish your pages on the college’s server.  Otherwise, you will need to bring your work to the labs on campus to publish them.

All projects, unless otherwise stated, must be submitted in an approved folder (a 9"x11.5" folder with pockets). On the outside of the folder, print your name, the course name, meeting days/times, and the name of your instructor.

Any project not turned in when it is due is late, regardless of the reason that it is late. The penalty (per 100 points) for lateness is ten (10) points per week that the assignment is late.  One day late is a week late and eight days late is two weeks late.  No tears, no excuses, no exceptions.

The Prince George's Community College Code of Conduct defines the rights and responsibilities of students and establishes a system of procedures for dealing with students charged with violations of the code and other rules and regulations of the college. A student enrolling in the college assumes an obligation to conduct himself/herself in a manner compatible with the college's function as an educational institution. Refer to the 2009-2010 Student Handbook, beginning on page 43, for a complete explanation of the Code of Conduct, including the Code of Academic Integrity and the procedure for dealing with disruptive student behavior.

The college is an institution of higher learning that holds academic integrity as its highest principle.  In the pursuit of knowledge, the college community expects that all students, faculty, and staff will share responsibility for adhering to the values of honesty and unquestionable integrity.  To support a community committed to academic achievement and scholarship, the Code of Academic Integrity advances the principle of honest representation in the work that is produced by students seeking to engage fully in the learning process.  The complete text of the Code of Academic Integrity is in the 2009-2010 Student Handbook (pages 44-47) and posted on the college's website.
