The College is committed to academic integrity in all its practices. The faculty value intellectual integrity and a high standard of academic conduct. Activities that violate academic integrity undermine the quality and diminish the value of educational achievement. Cheating on papers, tests or other academic works is a violation of College rules. No student shall engage in behavior that, in the judgment of the instructor of the class, may be construed as cheating. This may include, but is not limited to, plagiarism or other forms of academic dishonesty such as the acquisition without permission of tests or other academic materials and/or distribution of these materials and other academic work. This includes students who aid and abet as well as those who attempt such behavior. Students who cannot complete their course work are required to submit a Change of Enrollment (Drop/Add) Form to Student Affairs to avoid earning an "F" for the class. Simply telling your instructor is not sufficient. The last day to withdraw for each semester is published in the student schedule of classes and is available from Student Affairs. Any "F" a student receives for any course taken at Ivy Tech remains permanently on that student's transcript, and figures into the cumulative GPA unless the student changes majors and asks to have a grade removed for a course that is no longer in that major. Ivy Tech State College seeks to provide effective services and accommodations for qualified individuals with documented disabilities. The goal of Disability Support Services (DSS) is to provide opportunities for equal access in college programs, services, and activities. DSS assists students with disabilities in achieving their educational goals through such services as academic and career

If you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, please contact DSS (at your local campus) for assistance. If you have emergency medical information to share with me, or if you need special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please make an appointment with me as soon as possible. My contact information is listed in the syllabus. Ivy Tech cannot guarantee that any student will pass a certification or licensing exam. Your success will be determined by several factors beyond the instruction you are given in the classroom including your test-taking skills, your willingness to study outside of class, and your satisfactory completion of appropriate practice exams. Certification exam questions are drawn from databases of tens of thousands of possible questions and no two people are asked exactly the same progression of questions. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the subject matter is required. The goal of Ivy Tech in providing a certification exam studies class is to assist you in understanding the material sufficiently to provide a firm foundation for your studies as you prepare for the exam.

Blackboard access through campus connect (cc.ivytech.edu) for additional class resources including PowerPoint slides, projects and tests, and other sites as noted during class. Blackboard will be the primary method of delivering material. Blackboard Usage: Projects will be accepted ONLY through blackboard. Students will be expected to engage in discussion boards as presented. These will be graded as a component of the projects. We will also use PRONTO to communicate. All grades will be posted in bb within 2 weeks of the posted due date or submission. Each student will add this class to their portfolio.

All work is due no later than 11:55pm of the defined date. NOTE: We have found that blackboard does not always show correct totals or percentages for your scores, calculate them yourself. NOTE: I do not believe in extra credit, you should be able to develop a satisfactory grade from the coursework as presented. A student's current grade may be calculated at any point in the course. To find the current grade, add all the points awarded on all graded components, and divide by the possible points. This number will be the best number grade possible. In classes preparing students to take a certification, the certification is used as the final exam. It MUST be taken BEFORE the end of the semester AND the results sent to me by the last due date. NOTE: PASSING CERTIFICATION DOES NOT GUARANTEE AN A FOR THE COURSE. In fact, if you dont do enough coursework, it does not guarantee passing the course Be forwarned!!

Certification:

This is NOT currently a certification course. HOWEVER, I will prepare you to take the CompTia LPI-1 certification if you care to do so.
Cell phones, beepers, ipods etc. For face-to-face classes: All cell phones, beepers etc. are to be turned off or put on vibrate. Phones may not be answered in class, go to the hallway. Violators will be asked to leave the class, and the attendance participation adjusted accordingly. Ipods and other portable music-playing devices may not be used during class. Violators will be asked to leave the class, and the attendance participation adjusted accordingly. Because of the short time we meet, missing one session may severely hurt your learning. For face-to-face classes, there will be an attendance sheet passed around each class meeting, it is YOUR

responsibility to sign it. There will also be an "attendance quiz" in bb, even if you sign an attendance sheet in class you MUST go to bb and take this quiz each week.

NOTE: REGIONAL ATTENDANCE STATEMENT: Attendance is 5% of your final grade. Student attendance is reported to the Registrar for auditing purposes. Some students may be required to repay part of their Financial Aid, including the Pell Grant, if these audits show poor attendance. School of Business Attendance Policy: Effective Spring 2011, 5% of final grade will be based on attendance. No exceptions
NOTE: You must log into blackboard at least once during the first two sessions and take the attendance quiz, or you will be backed out of the class for no-show. E-mail: As a student, you automatically have an e-mail account through campus connect. I will be using blackboard as the primary delivery tool for information and your IvyTech e-mail account as the primary method of communicating with you. I will be on PRONTO any time I'm at a computer. I recommend you have it on also, Perhaps if one person has a question, it can be resolved more quickly than waiting for class. All sections except CINT108-10F are Internet sections. Section CINT108-10F is scheduled to meet 6-9pm Tuesdays at the Fishers building in Muncie, IN. For face-to-face classes, check the local campus policy regarding school closings. Should the school close for one of our sessions, we will decide how to make up the class time.
