DISRUPTIVE STUDENTS:
De Anza College will enforce all policies and procedures set forth in the Standards of Student Conduct (see catalog). Any student disrupting a class will be asked to leave for that class period and the following class period. Further administrative follow-up may result and/or permanent dismissal from class with a grade of "F."
CHEATING AND PLAGIARISM:
No cheating or plagiarism will be tolerated. Students caught cheating or guilty of plagiarism will be removed from class and receive an "F" for their course grade. Plagiarism is to "take or use as one's own the ideas or writings of another." (Riverside Webster's II Dictionary. Revised edition. Berkeley Books, New York: page 522) This applies to oral presentations as well as written presentations. Even if you paraphrase another's idea(s) you must provide a citation and bibliographic information. The MLA guidelines to follow are posted on the website for this class. Guidelines for Citations and Bibliography or the Citation Machine.
GRADING SYSTEM:
Final grades will be calculated on a percentage basis of the 1000 total points possible for this course:
100% - 90% = "A" (1000-900)
89% - 80% = "B" (899-800)
79% - 70% = "C" (799-700)
69% - 60% = "D" (699-600)
59% and below = "Failing"(599- 0)
At the end of the quarter if you earned 87%, 77%, 67% or 57% of the total course points possible than your grade will be rounded up to the next highest final course grade. Because your grade is rounded up, there will be no quibbling over 2 points or 5 points here and there. If you wish to have assignments re-graded than you must sign an agreement with your instructor that your grade will not be rounded up 3% (or 30 points) at the end of the quarter, if you earned 87%, 77%, 67% or 57% of the total course points possible.
CELL PHONES/ELECTRONIC DEVICES:
All cell phones or any other form of electronic device(yes iPods too) must be turned off and out of sight for the duration of class. If your device rings or chimes, if you answer the phone during class time, either in the room or leave the classroom to answer or I see your cell phone or see you texting or retrieving text messages for each occurrence 5 questions and their points will be added to the final exam which will then DECREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR EXTRA CREDIT POINTS.
