Course Description: This
course will allow you to complete assignments in your other courses in a very
professional format. The first part of this course covers “basic computer
concepts with a major emphasis on the personal computer and its practical use,
including hardware, software, application and system software, plus the
Internet and World Wide Web.” The second part of this course covers “Windows
and the Office applications.”
Homework:
Homework will be assigned in class and will be collected at the end of lab
periods. All assignments are to be handed in on paper only. The paper should be neatly labeled with
the course number, the student's name and the assignment number, and due date.
Exams: There will
be two midterms
Missing Exams: If
you are unable to take an exam at the scheduled time, arrangements must be made
with me prior to the exam.
Pop quizzes: Unannounced quizzes will be
given in class.
Grading: Grades for the class will be divided as
follows:
Homework: 60%
Mid-Term: 15% each
Quizzes: 10%
End-of-class grades will be as follows:
A 90% - 100%
B 80% - 89%
C 70% - 79%
D 60% - 69%
F 59% and
below
Late Homework Policy: Late homework will not be
accepted. Students will be able to drop one homework assignment grade.
Collaboration Policy:
Students can generate ideas together and cover general issues. However,
assignments should be done alone. Copying another's work will not be accepted.
Do not cheat. Anyone found cheating will be punished to the fullest extent of
department and university policies.
Policy on Incompletes: It is
assumed that students have the responsibility for completing the requirements
of the courses in which they are enrolled within the time framework of the
semester. Incompletes may be given when, in the opinion of the instructor,
there is a reasonable probability that students can complete the course without
retaking it. The incomplete is not an option to be exercised at the discretion
of students. In all cases it is given at the discretion of the instructor
within the following guidelines:
1. A mark of
incomplete may be assigned students when:
a. They have
been in attendance and doing passing work up to three weeks before the end of
the semester, and
b. For reasons
beyond their control and which are acceptable to the instructor, they have been
unable to complete the requirements of the course on time. Negligence and
indifference are not acceptable reasons.
2. The
instructor sets the conditions for the completion of the course work and notes
these conditions on the final grade report.
3. When a
student has met the conditions for making up the incomplete, the instructor
will assign a grade based upon an evaluation of the total work done by the
student in the course.
4. An
incomplete which is not made up within one calendar year automatically will
revert to the alternate grade which was assigned by the instructor at the time
the incomplete was submitted.
5. An
incomplete remains on the permanent record and is accompanied by the final
grade, for example, IA, IB, IC, etc.
P/NP option: A student must earn the
equivalent of a letter grade of C for a P.
Labs: Attendance at labs is optional. The labs provide an
excellent opportunity to get hands-on experience and help with your
homework. Help on assignments will be offered at the labs.
Last day to drop:
with refund – Feb 13
without refund – Mar 9
Dropping after Mar 9 requires documented justification of a very
unusual circumstance before even being considered by the department.
Other notes:
Profanity and obscenity will not be tolerated, either in class or
on assignments.
Please notify me at the beginning of the course of any DSS
certified disabilities I need to be aware of.
