INSTRUCTOR-SPECIFIC INFORMATION (Read this section thoroughly and refer to it often)
Conduct during Assessments: I want each of my students to do his/her personal best on any test or quiz; therefore, it is imperative that there are as few disruptions as possible. With that end in mind, I have established the following policies:
When testing, please remember that cell phones MUST be turned OFF during testing and face down on the desk.
No text books or notes are allowed during testing. Table and desk tops must be completely cleared of materials, other than the face down cell phone.
Students may NOT leave the classroom during testing. Any student who leaves the testing session for any reason (to get a drink, to go to the restroom, to answer their phone, etc.) must turn in their test – whether it is completed or not. Tests will be graded for the items that have been completed. Test items that have not been answered will be scored as a missed item.
There are NO MAKE UP TESTS for students who leave the testing room during their testing session.
Exams that are missed with an excused absence must be made up within 3 days of the student’s return to school. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange a time after school to make up the exam.
Classroom Behavior: Students are expected to attend class every day, on time, and do not leave early. Turn off cell phones, laptops, and any other technological instruments. All items must be stored in book bag or purse and not be visible in the classroom. Any student seen texting on their phone will have it confiscated. If more than 15 minutes of the class is missed, it will be counted as an absence. Please respect your fellow students while they are speaking and raise your hand if you want to contribute to the discussion. If you are disrespectful to your instructor or another student then you will be asked to leave the classroom.
COLUMBUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE GENERAL EDUCATION POLICIES/PROCEDURES
ATTENDANCE POLICY: Columbus Technical College requires regular and punctual class attendance. Students are preparing themselves for direct entry into the workforce and employers state that dependability and punctuality are the main qualities sought in potential employees. Absences prevent students from receiving full course benefits, disrupt orderly course progress and diminish the quality of group interaction in class. The college considers both tardiness and early departure from class as forms of absenteeism. Students absent from class for any reason are responsible for all missed work and assignments. Students should enroll only in those classes that they can attend on a regular basis. Instructors have both the right and responsibility to develop reasonable attendance policies appropriate to the type, level, delivery method and frequency of class meetings for their course; to communicate the policies to students clearly via the course syllabus or addendum; and to apply the policies fairly and consistently to all enrolled students. Instructors are solely responsible for determining whether work missed due to absence or tardiness may be made up and any allowed make up work will be scheduled at the discretion of the instructor. Policies for make-up work will be detailed in the course syllabus or addendum.
An absence is defined as missing more than 15 minutes during any hour of class. Any student who is absent from class for up to 15 minutes during any hour of class time will be counted as tardy. Any student who has been tardy three times will be charged with a one-hour absence. Any student who has been dropped from a class for excessive absences may appeal in writing within five school days to the Dean of the Division of General Studies. The Dean will respond to the student in writing within four (4) business days from the date of the student’s appeal. Should this response not satisfy the appeal, the student will appeal to the Vice President of Academic Affairs within four (4) business days from the date of the Dean’s response. The Vice President of Academic Affairs will respond to the appeal within four (4) business days from the date of the student’s appeal. The decision reached by the Vice President of Academic Affairs is final. (See Attached Appeal Form)
WRITING ASSIGNMENTS: Writing assignments are required in all classes to help you improve your skills and also improve learning outcomes. Writing and composition exercises are incorporated into activities in this course. PLAGIARISM AND OTHER FORMS OF ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: Columbus Technical College expects all students, faculty, and staff to conduct themselves with honesty, character, and academic integrity. The Center for Academic Integrity defines academic integrity as "a commitment, even in the face of adversity, to five fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility." Columbus Technical College promotes and expects all members of the College to conduct themselves with professional behavior and intellectual integrity. Columbus Technical College considers academic integrity an integral part of learning. Any infraction of this academic integrity policy is detrimental to the students’ education and to the integrity of the College. The College strictly forbids the following:
Plagiarizing any assignment--"Plagiarism" means using someone else’s ideas or words without using quotation marks and/or giving credit by citation of source(s).
Copying/submitting another person’s work.
Unauthorized taking of someone else’s work.
Using unauthorized notes or equipment (including programmable calculators) during an examination.
Stealing an examination or using a stolen examination.
Allowing another student to have access to one’s work, thereby enabling that student to represent the work as his or her own.
Having someone else take a test or exam in place of the enrolled student.
Fabricating information such as data for a lab report.
Falsifying a patient’s medical record or a student’s clinical record.
Using another person’s file, data record, or computer program.
First offense: Receipt of a zero with no opportunity to make up the assignment. School record kept of the offense. Second offensein the same course: Immediate withdrawal with a grade of “F.” Notation entered in student’s college record. Second offense in a different course: Receipt of a zero, as above. Student placed on academic probation. Third offense: Suspension from the college for one quarter. Fourth offense: Dismissal from the college.
LIBRARY INFORMATION: Columbus Technical College Library services are available to all students including online students. Online catalog and GALILEO resources are available through links on the Columbus Technical College webpage. Information on all services available to students as well as hours of operation each semester can be found in the Student Library Handbook available on the library web page. Students can contact the librarian at the following email address: [email protected]. TECHNICAL COLLEGE SYSTEM OF GEORGIA’S GUARANTEE: Curriculum standards have been developed with direct involvement of business and industry. These standards serve as the industry validated specifications for each occupational program. These standards allow the Georgia system of technical colleges to offer their business partners this guarantee which is in effect for two years after graduation: “If one of our graduates, educated under a standard program, or his/her employer finds that the graduate is deficient in one or more competencies as defined in the standards, the technical college will retrain the employee at no instructional cost to the employee or the employer.” INDIVIDUAL AND CLASSROOM RIGHTS/RESPONSABILITIES: The College takes the individual rights of students seriously. As such, students have the right to exercise their constitutional freedoms and responsibilities without college interference. Within the classroom, students have the right to express views pertinent to the subject matter of the class in which they are enrolled, though the instructor will determine the relevancy of the subject matter. During all classroom and laboratory settings, instructors always have authority over the conduct of the class. The College will not tolerate behavior that disrupts the educational environment. Columbus Technical College is a marketplace for ideas, conversations, and opinions. The College has high expectations that students will engage in critical discourse on a wide range of topics. The College recognizes that students have a constitutional right to express themselves; however, the use of profanity or any indecent or lewd language has no place in a college environment. Students should turn off cellular phones and the sound on other wireless devices such as laptops, iPads, and portable music players when in the classroom and laboratory, Library, business offices, and quiet lounges because they can interfere with a climate conducive for learning. Columbus Technical College conducts educational programs to prepare students for employment. Therefore, all students are expected to dress appropriately according to the occupations for which they are being trained. Students who are deemed inappropriately dressed (who are dressed in a manner which could present a safety hazard or which might be offensive to others or cause disruption to the College) will not be allowed to attend class. Shirts, caps or any other article of clothing that implies obscenities, gang affiliation, or that can be construed as offensive or discriminatory are prohibited, as this could symbolize disruptive behavior. Students shall at all times observe rules governing personal hygiene and not wear short or tight skirts/shorts, swimsuits, tank tops, bare midriffs, exposed undergarments or have bare feet.
Classroom Rules: Students should be familiar with the rules and procedures of Jordan Vocational High School and the Muscogee County School District Handbook (See class website). Please be sure to use the bathroom and get water between classes, there is plenty of time before and after class for these breaks. Students may not leave class to run errands, go to lockers, telephone etc. Students will show respect to their teacher, peers, selves and any other class visitors. Students will participate in class activities, as each is designed to help the student perform to his or her highest potential.
*Cell phones are not permitted out in class. Leave them in your locker if this is going to be a problem.
Absences: The depth of this class requires students to miss as few days as possible. Excessive absences have been shown to be detrimental to student performance in this, and any other class. Please do your best to schedule appointments for after school. As exam dates have been presented at the beginning of this class, there will be NO EXTENSIONS if students are out the day before an exam. Students with unexcused absences will be required to makeup missing exams or quizzes after school within three days. Excessive unexcused absences also result in loss of credit, despite class average (See handbook for details). Please note that attendance issues in a Dual Enrollment class will lead to loss of college credit.
Grading Procedures: Formatives: 30% Summatives: 70% *Once grades for a quarter’s report card have been posted, no more retakes or missing work can be submitted for that particular quarter. Grades on a printed report card are final, with no changes permitted. Students will be allowed to retake Unit Summatives ONLY if they have completed the required supplemental work. Retakes will be given after school on posted dates that will not exceed 10 days after the original test date.
STUDENTS IN A DUAL ENROLLMENT MUST SCORE "B" OR HIGHER IN ORDER TO OBTAIN COLLEGE CREDIT.
