Instructor Course Policies
Attendance is mandatory, as is punctuality. We will begin each class promptly and go directly into lecture. You get 3 absence freebie’s – whatever the reason! (illness, death, relationship drama, POS car, alien abduction…). You are responsible for all work missed during your absences. See the current Student Handbook for the college attendance policy especially as it pertains to excused absences.
PLAGIARISM: Don’t do it. Plagiarism is addressed in the Student Handbook (Student Life Policies, Academic Integrity, Plagiarism): “To quote from Practical English Handbook (Watkins, Dillingham and Martin, 1978, 260): ‘Using others’ words and ideas as if they were your own is a form of stealing called plagiarism.’ In academic or scholarly writing, plagiarism offends the community of learning as seriously as does cheating on an examination. Developing the habit of giving appropriate credit to others for their ideas is important not only in school but in all other professional and life situations” (quoted in WC Student Handbook, 21).
Any plagiarized assignments or papers, including AI submissions (in part or in full) will result in an automatic zero in this course. Infractions will also be reported to the office of Academic Affairs and recorded in your student file.
Institutional and Program-Level Policies
All exams will follow the Final Exam Schedule. Students scheduled to take three or more final examinations on one day may request to arrange their examination schedule, so no more than two exams occur on one day.
Requests for early or late exams are considered only under extreme circumstances. Prior to the exam period, the student must file a written request on the Early/Late Exam Form available in the Student One Stop Center, Academic Records, and on the WC portal. The form must be signed by the Instructor and the Academic Dean, approving the alternate exam time. This process must be completed prior to the scheduled exam period.
Undergraduate: SP26 Final Exam Schedule
Out-of-class Work Expectation A minimum of 2 hours of out-of-class student work is expected for each hour of in-class time for traditional face-to-face courses. For online and hybrid courses, the combination of face-to-face time and out-of-class work should be equal to 3 hours per credit hour per week. |
