Policies

Be Responsible

Be professional. Your enrollment in this class indicates that you plan to work professionally in a technical field. That professionalism needs to start now, not then.
Do your own work. Working with others to solve problems and foster learning is encouraged. Blindly relying on the work of others is discouraged and considered cheating. Cheating is grounds for assigning a failing grade and it can be placed in your academic record.
Use your lab time to complete assigned tasks. The class is designed for students to work together on a common set of problems and challenges in the presence of an instructor. Missing class or using class time to work on other projects greatly increases your risk for poor quality work or failure.
If you miss class, catch up before the next class. Waiting to catch up during the next class places the entire class at a disadvantage.
It is a courtesy to contact one of the instructors via email before missing a 3rd consecutive day. We don't want to hear excuses, but we do want to know what your plan is for returning and catching up.

SFCC Statement on Diversity

In order for learning to take place, students must feel safe; this safety is due all students, not only those who share your values and beliefs. For this reason, courtesy, thoughtfulness, and acceptance are essential in our discussions in and out of the classroom. Acceptance should not be confused with agreement; one need not agree with a person to listen, and one must listen well in order to disagree respectfully. Every student in this course has a voice and so deserves the courtesy of attentive listening and the freedom to express diverse ideas.

Disability Support Services

If you have a health condition or disability that may require you to have accommodations in order to effectively participate in this class, please contact the Disability Support Services in Building 17, Room 201 (Phone 533-4166). Information about conditions or disabilities will be regarded as confidential.
