Assignments: Assignments will be given roughly weekly and are designed to enhance learning of material being covered. Quizzes: Quizzes will be given on a weekly or bi-weekly status. Students are expected to review materials prior to meeting for lecture and lab to enhance his/her learning. Quizzes will be totaled at the conclusion of the semester. Late Work, Attendance, and Make Up Work Policies: Attendance: Attendance is essential for attainment of course objectives. A student who is not present at the scheduled start time of class is considered tardy, and three (3) tardies constitute one absence. A student that is more than 30 minutes late will be considered absent. It is the student s responsibility to get any missed class information due to absence or tardiness. Assignments will be accepted late with a 10 point deduction for each day late. MCC Attendance Policy: Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students, and each instructor will maintain a complete record of attendance for the entire length of each course, including online and hybrid courses. Students will be counted absent from class meetings missed, beginning with the first official day of classes. Students, whether present or absent, are responsible for all material presented or assigned for a course and will be held accountable for such materials in the determination of course grades. Please refer to the Highlander Guide for the complete policy. 12

13 BIOL cellular telephones, and personal telephone calls Students are NOT to receive or place telephone calls during class. Cellular telephones are to be turned off or set to vibrate before entering the classroom. Student Behavioral Expectations or Conduct Policy: Students are expected to maintain professional classroom decorum that includes respect for other students and the instructor, prompt and regular attendance, and an attitude that seeks to take full advantage of the education opportunity. Food/Drink, LAB: Food and drink will ONLY be allowed in the classroom. Students are required to clean up after themselves. If this becomes an issue, food and drink will no longer be allowed. NO FOOD OR DRINK allowed in the lab at any time. Academic Integrity Statement: Students are expected to refrain from academic dishonesty. This includes any conduct aimed at misrepresentation with respect to a student s academic performance. Examples of academic dishonesty include: cheating, plagiarism, collaborating with others if contrary to stated guidelines for assignment, providing students who have not completed exams with information related to the exam, and intentionally assisting another student in any dishonest action. Violations of this policy will be brought to the attention of the student by the instructor. If there is suspicion of wrongdoing without corroborating evidence, the matter will be discussed with the student, and a verbal warning will be issued if warranted. If there is clear evidence that a violation has taken place, the instructor may impose a sanction ranging from a written warning to expulsion from the course with a failing grade. If the student does not feel that the issue is satisfactorily resolved, the student should contact the Math and Science Division Chair. If the issue is not satisfactorily resolved at the end of this process, the student may initiate a formal grievance procedure. The Student Grievance Procedure is outlined in the Highlander Guide: MCC Student Handbook.
