Class Policies

Course Requirements
  • Online students can have access to the Student Computer Center including the assistants if needed.
  • Assignments are to be completed as outlined in the Due Dates/Calendar area.

  • Late submissions (through final deadline) are subject to 10% penalty.
  • Final deadlines are just that, FINAL.
  • There is only one due date for formal tests. The Late Submission policy does not apply to formal tests.
Attendance
Students are expected to login to Moodle on a regular basis and check their official college email no less than FOUR(4) times a week. Students who do not login/check email at least 4 times a week may have their final grade lowered by one grade (Example: A to B). Requests for an exception must be made in writing to the instructor stating the conditions surrounding the reason for the request. Only under extenuating circumstances (for example, extended hospitalization or death in the family) will the instructor consider granting the request. If the request is granted, both the instructor and students must sign the terms of agreement.
Online Class Policies
  • Emails and Discussion List postings must use proper English and not email or text abbreviations.
  • Students must treat fellow students with respect both on campus and Online.
Monitoring Grades
Grades are available in Moodle. You may request review of a grade up to one week after the score is received. I will generally respond to your inquiries within two business days.
Email and Announcements
It is the student's responsibility to check his/her college email and course announcements at least 3-4 times a week. It is best to use Moodle's Quickmail to send email since it adds a code for this course. However, if that is not possible, then at minimum please include CS2513 in the subject line. Usually there will be an email response within 24 hours, however it may be longer on weekends and holidays.
Network Acceptable Use Policy
Oklahoma City Community College has made a significant investment in computer and communications technology to promote and support the exchange of information, both within the College and between the College and the rest of the world. These resources are provided to support the College's mission and institutional goals, and use of these resources shall be consistent with the mission, goals, and this policy. Oklahoma City Community College shall not be held liable for the actions of users of this network when those actions are inconsistent with this policy. This policy includes the use of College equipment and software to access the Internet.
  • Every user of the college network, equipment, communications systems, and/or college-owned software (all hereafter referred to as the network) will comply with the following standards:
  • The network will not be used to violate any college policies; city, state, or federal laws; or contracts and agreements entered into by the College.
  • The user will comply with the Acceptable Use Policy set forth by the OCCC's Acceptable Use Policy
    www.occc.edu/policy/pdf/3058.pdf ).
  • It is not acceptable for a user to gain, or attempt to gain, unauthorized access to another user's computer or data. The network is not to be used for commercial purposes.

  • If a user is found to have violated this policy, the College will take action consistent with its policies and procedures including, but not limited to, suspension and/or revocation of access to network services.
Withdrawals
  • Instructors cannot administratively withdraw students. It is the student's responsibility.
  • If a student will not successfully complete the course, he/she must withdraw from the course by the end of the 12th week of a 16-week semester, by the end of the 6th week for an 8 week class, by the end of the 3rd week for 4 week class or ¾ of the duration of class. Withdrawal deadlines are published in the College Class Schedule. The grade on your permanent transcript is a "W" (Withdrawn) which has no impact on your grade point average. 
  • Failure to withdraw will mean the instructor will calculate your final grade as indicated in the syllabus.
  • If you stop attending and fail to withdraw, you will possibly receive a failing grade. which will be placed on your permanent transcript and used in the calculation of your GPA.
Administrative Withdrawal
Students who do not attend the course(s) for which they are enrolled will be reported by the individual faculty member as Never Attended and be subsequently administratively withdrawn from the course(s). Students who enroll, but do not attend will be responsible for the full amount of tuition and fees owed. More information on the Never Attend Policy is available in the OCCC Student Handbook.
Audit Students
Students who audit the course are expected to participate in the course the same as credit seeking students. This includes attending class and submitting assignments. (Audit students may not take the tests.) Failure to actively participate in class or missing more than 20% of the classes may result in being administratively withdrawn by the instructor. This administrative withdrawal applies to ONLY to students who audit a course.

Grading

Grading Time Lines

  • Grading is done once a week usually at the beginning of the week.
  • Grades will be posted in Moodle at http://online.occc.edu.
  • Students have one week after the grades have been posted to challenge a grade.
  • Failure to request the review in a timely manner or to provide requested information will result in the grade remaining as originally posted.
  • It is highly recommended that all graded assignments (for all classes) be saved until after the final grade has been posted in MineOnline.

Late Work

  • Students, at times, may be allowed to submit late work or resubmit an assignment after the initial due date.
    Again, this does not apply to formal tests. There is not late date for tests.
  • There will be a 10% penalty of the total possible points.
  • Once the final due date has passed, work can no longer be accepted for credit: no full credit, no partial credit.
  • Various course submission areas are not disabled after the final deadline. Therefore, even if an assignment can physically be submitted after the final due date, it will not be graded and is not eligible for credit.

Final Grades

  • A - Accomplished Course Objectives with Excellence
    (4.0 Grade Point) - 90% or better of the total possible points
  • B - Accomplished Course Objectives with Merit
    (3.0 Grade Point) - 80% and 89% of the total possible points.
  • C - Accomplished Course Objectives with Competence
    (2.0 Grade Point) - 70% and 79% of the total possible points
  • D - Accomplished Course Objectives with Acceptance
    (1.0 Grade Point) - 60% and 69% of the total possible points. 
    This grade level does not satisfy Computer Science course prerequisites
  • F - Did NOT Accomplish Course Objectives with at Least Minimal Acceptance.
    (0.0 Grade Point) - below 60% of total possible points

Course Points

Tests:              ~500  Points (05 @ 100 Points)

Note: ~ means approximately

Tests

  • All testing (except for weekly quizzes if applicable) for Online students will be scheduled on campus in the Student Computer Center on the 3rd floor of the OCCC Library where a valid OCCC student ID is required; tests must be started no later than one hour before the center closes.
  • Students in on-campus sections will take tests in class
  • Retesting to improve an exam score is not allowed.
  • Students may not use headsets, phones or any electronic devices other that the testing computer during exams.
  • Students must take the test in one sitting, no leaving and coming back later.
  • Students may not converse/communicate with other during the test. Doing so will result in the test being submitted immediately even if students have not completed the test.
  • Students must take tests at designated times.
  • Students unable to take a test at the designated time must make arrangements with the professor before the designated date/s. Only under very extreme circumstances will students be allowed to schedule outside of the designated times.
  • Not having access to the Internet is not an excuse for failure to contact a professor. The schools phone number is 682-1611 then ask for your professor by name.

Assistance

In addition to my being available during office hours and via email, the Student Computer Center staff and tutors are also available for assistance.  While some of the best learning takes place when we solve problems ourselves, please do not wait until it is too late. Ask for help when you need it. They will be happy to explain concepts and procedures.

A list of the full time staff can be found at the following URL. There are also other tutors and supplemental instructors available depending on the semester. Check with the Center for details. http://www.occc.edu/it/Lab-Staff.html

Academic Dishonesty

  • Anyone caught cheating on a test or an assignment will automatically receive a zero. It does not matter whether you are giving or receiving the information. Either way, your grade is zero. 
  • A second occurrence of academic dishonest will result in failure in this course.
  • Students are encouraged to discuss concepts and share ideas with fellow students. However, each student must do his/her own work. 
  • All assignments must be original and may not be copied from any source (this includes Internet sites).
  • Any evidence of shared or copied work will be considered plagiarism and will be treated as cheating. 
  • In accordance with official college policy, all incidents of academic dishonesty must be reported to the Division Dean and Vice President for Academic Affairs.

Assessment of Student Learning

Oklahoma City Community College is committed to providing quality educational experiences to all students and to strive for continuous improvement in its programs and services. Student learning assessment is vital to the educational process and can be of significant value to you and to the students who follow you as well as contribute to their education success.

To ensure that adequate assessment information is available to allow OCCC to continuously improve programs and services, students may be asked to participate in personal interviews; take program and/or general education assessments, which could be to take tests; give oral presentations, write assignments, take surveys, or engage in other activities. You may be asked to complete the assessments, tests, and other activities during a designated times, which may include class periods in a semester. These opportunities are your chance to help OCCC improve the courses, programs, and services which could affect you and will certainly impact students in the future.

Accommodations

Oklahoma City Community College complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act & the Americans with Disabilities Act. Students with disabilities who seek academic adjustments/accommodations must make their request by contacting the office of Student Support Services located on the first floor of the main building near SEM entry 3 or by calling 405-682-7520. All academic adjustments/accommodations must be approved by Student Support Services.

If you have been approved by Student Support Services to receive academic adjustments/accommodations you must talk with me either after class, on the phone, via email, or during my office hours. This will allow me to be better informed on how to assist you with access during the semester. To respect your privacy I will not approach you, but the academic adjustments/accommodations must be discussed to ensure ideal implementation for you. All information will remain confidential.

Pregnant and Parenting Students

Oklahoma City Community College does not discriminate against any student on the basis of pregnancy, parenting or related conditions. Pregnant or parenting students seeking accommodations should notify your professor and contact the Title IX Coordinator immediately.
Pregnancy-Related Absences: OCCC is required to excuse absences for students who are pregnant or who give birth for as long as that student’s doctor determines the absence is necessary. At the conclusion of that period, the student will be given a reasonable amount of time to make up the missed work.
Title IX Coordinators: OCCC has designated a Title IX Coordinator, Regina Switzer (405-682-7540), and a Deputy Title IX Coordinator, Kendra Fringer (405-682-7523), who will be happy to assist you with any matters or needs for accommodation that may arise for you due to a pregnancy.

Safety and Security Emergency Procedures

The health and safety of all our students, faculty, and staff are OCCC’s prime concern. The procedures outlined below are designed to deal with emergencies of various types. Students should always follow the lead of their instructors.

Fire
First notification will come from the fire alarm horns, sirens, and strobes. The class should gather their belongings, exit the building using the nearest exit, and move to a parking lot. Do not use the elevators. No alarm should be treated as a false alarm. Horns, sirens, and strobes are only used for fire alarms.
Fire (Special Considerations)
If someone in your area is not physically capable of descending the stairwell, please ensure that they remain in the “area of safe refuge” located just inside each upper-level enclosed first stairwell. There are emergency phones located near each of these areas.
Medical
For all medical related issues push the ”emergency” button located on each classroom phone. The phone will display your room number, allowing for fast response to your location. All security officers are trained as first responders and will assist in guiding EMSA to your location. Treat all bodily fluids as if they were contaminated.
Bomb
If you receive a bomb threat, document as much information as possible and push the “emergency” button on the phone. If the decision to evacuate is given, the phone will sound an alarm and display a text message. The class should gather their belongings, exit the building using the nearest exit, and move to an open grassy area. Please turn off all wireless devices. (Cell phones, radios, laptops, and other portable devices.)
Weather
Tornado warnings that include OCCC will be sent directly to the classroom phone. The phone will sound and alarm and display a text message. The class should gather their belongings, move away from exterior glass and exits, and move to safer areas. These areas are lower-level interior classrooms, restrooms, and stairwells. You should familiarize yourself with the safer areas near your classroom(s). If the city/county sirens are sounding and OCCC is not in the warning area a message will be sent to the classroom phone advising this information.
Disturbance/Threats
If someone is causing a disturbance in a classroom call security immediately. Push the “emergency” button located on each classroom phone. Distance yourself from that person, do not place yourself in the person’s exit path and remove all potential weapons from the area.

Shelter in place: If there is an armed person or shooter on campus: Close and lock your hallway doors. Turn off the lights, shut the blinds or move away from exposed areas. Use desks, tables and other objects to provide protection. Updated information will be sent to the classroom phone.

Disclaimer

The assignments, point values, schedule, and testing dates presented in this syllabus are subject to change in the event of extenuating circumstances or if class progress warrants. Adjustments may be made as the semester progresses.
