Policies on Plagiarism/Academic Dishonesty are found in the EICCD Student Code of Conduct.
Incomplete grades (I) are given for work that is not completed during an academic term due to justifiable extenuating circumstances. To qualify for an "I" grade, you will need to sign an Incomplete Contract Agreement with the class instructor. Work must be completed by the date agreed upon and turned in to the instructor no later than mid-term of the following semester (not including summer sessions). Courses not completed by that time will automatically receive an "F".
Feedback Policy:
I will answer all emails and voicemails within 24 hours of receipt Monday through Friday. I ocassionally check emails over the weekend and when the college is closed. All assignments will be graded in the order in which I receive them. You can expect 24-48 hour return on assignments. Exams are multiple choice and receive immediate feedback upon completion. The above policy assumes no computer/connectivity issues.
Food and Drink:
Because of the potential damage to equipment, food and drinks are absolutely not allowed in the classroom. There is a break area just outside of the classroom.
Cell phone policy:
Before class starts, turn off or activate silent mode on cell phones and pagers. Please leave the room before answering a silent mode call.
