POFI 2331 Desktop Publishing Course Syllabus

Page 4

lab hours. These will be submitted for a grade. All assignments that are submitted are not graded, however you are responsible for submitting all work assigned. b. Observation – for labs done in class, your instructor will observe your progress and offer assistance when you have difficulties. c. Clarification – you will have the opportunity to provide your instructor with feedback relative to what you did not understand about a lab. The goal for this is for you to help your instructor to determine the level of your understanding of an assignment prior to being tested on it, and to allow the instructor to clarify things where you have questions. B. Chapter Quizzes – at the end of each chapter, a quiz will be given. Quizzes will be multiple choice questions and timed. No make-up opportunity will be allowed for students that miss the quizzes. I will drop the lowest quiz grade. C. Mid-tem Exam – a practical exam will be given at the mid-term point in the class. It will be a practical exam over all material that has been covered to that point. There is no make-up opportunity for the mid-term exam. D. Final Exam – the final exam for this class will be all chapters covered after the midterm exam. No make-up is allowed. VIII.

X. Class Participation Policy & Student Conduct A. Texas State Technical College challenges students to be learners who assume responsibility for being a part of a community of scholars. Student presence and participation in the classroom is an important component of this challenge. Furthermore, as part of its mission, TSTC offers an education that prepares students for professional employment. Each student is encouraged to develop a

professional work ethic that reflects responsibility, initiative, and teamwork. Students are expected to attend all classes. Students who are absent from class miss opportunities to contribute to the learning environment of the classroom and are developing patterns that will not be tolerated in the professional workplace. In light of the above, the student is responsible for all assigned course work and cannot be absolved of this responsibility. When enrolled in a particular course, the student is obligated to do all of the work assigned. Punctual and regular attendance is vital to the discharge of this obligation and absences, excused or not, do not alter this responsibility. Students whose absences exceed 15 percent of the scheduled classes and laboratories may receive an “F” for the course. Student Conduct: a. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner and to dress in the appropriate attire for the class being presented. b. Each student is expected to act responsibly and take the consequences for his/her action or inaction as appropriate. Classroom Etiquette: a. An atmosphere of respect will be expected of all within the classroom. b. Any open displays of prejudice, harassment, etc. will not be tolerated. c. Any student who disrupts the classroom will be asked to leave and will receive a zero on all work due that day and will be counted as absent for the day. d. A second disruption by that student will be grounds for the student to be administratively dropped from the class and other disciplinary action will be taken as appropriate. e. There will be no smoking, dipping, chewing tobacco or use of profane language in the classroom.

G. Cheating / Plagiarism Policy: TSTC expects all students to engage in scholastic pursuits in a manner that is beyond reproach. Students are expected to maintain complete honesty and integrity. Any student found guilty of scholastic dishonesty is subject to disciplinary action. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating on academic work (such as copying, bribing, or buying/selling tests), plagiarism (claiming another’s work as one’s own without acknowledgement INCLUDING Internet data), and collusion (unauthorized collaboration). See College Catalogue for additional information. XI. Safety All students in this course will comply with all general safety rules, which apply to the type of activity in progress in each class. Violation of course safety rules can result in grade penalties and/or other appropriate disciplinary action. XII. Special Needs
