Course Assignments

http://jfriel.wikispaces.com/BI102

Attendance will be monitored and repeated absences are likely to significantly affect your grade as well as your learning. You are responsible for all material, announcements, and assignments provided in class whether you are present or not.

Attendance

If you are unable to attend any lecture or laboratory session because of a legitimate problem (e.g., illness, emergency), contact the instructor as soon as possible (within 24 hours of absence), then provide written documentation for your absence at the next class session. Lecture or lab points may be earned by completing an assignment as specified by the instructor for excused absences only. Make-up assignments for excused absences must be completed within one week of the absence.

Attendance

Punctuality is crucial. Late assignments are generally not accepted with the exception of certain circumstances (e.g., illness, emergency). You must notify the instructor as soon as possible and provide written documentation of the circumstance. Assignments are due at the beginning of the specified class session (unless otherwise noted) and are considered late thereafter.

Punctuality

Late Assignment Pass BI102 Winter 2015 You get one of these per term. If you do not use it you will get 5 pts E.C.

Can only be used for worksheets, pre-labs, and lab packets. Staple this slip to the assignment you are turning in late.

ACADEMIC HONESTY STATEMENT: http://www.chemeketa.edu/earncertdegree/advising/studyskills/writing/resources/academichonesty/

Learning is built on the fundamental qualities of honesty, fairness, respect and trust. At Chemeketa Community College, academic integrity is a shared endeavor characterized by truth, personal responsibility and high academic standards.

Any violation of academic integrity devalues the individual and the community as a whole.

Academic Integrity

Examples of Plagiarism: Word-for-word copying of work written by

someone else. Failure to give proper credit for ideas, statements

of facts, or conclusions derived by another. Failure to use quotation marks when quoting

directly from another, whether a paragraph, sentence, or phrase.

Close and extended paraphrasing of another work without acknowledging the source.

Academic Integrity

Examples of Cheating Copying another’s work on a test, paper, or project. Using unauthorized materials in an exam or

collaborating on work to be turned in for credit where the instructor disallows such collaboration.

Taking an exam for another student, purposely allowing another student to copy during a test, or providing coursework for another student to turn in as his or her own effort.

Fabricating, falsifying or misrepresenting data or results from experiments, interviews or surveys.

Submitting the same work in more than one class for credit without permission from the instructor.

Academic Integrity

Lectures Expectations Student Services

Read Through

Based on exercises in the lab packet. Students will work in groups in lab and

cooperation is expected. Lab exercises will consist of

observation and / or experimental work.

Critical thinking skills will be essential and participation in lab activities is mandatory.

Preparation for lab includes reading the lab packet and bringing necessary materials (e.g. textbook, lab packet, etc).
