Policies
- Turn around
time for returning papers is 48-72 hours from the due date, for responding
to emails is 24 hours, although efforts will be made to respond more
quickly. Unforeseen circumstances may occasionally result in a greater lag
time.
- Plagiarism
results in a grade of 0 on the paper.
Students involved in either cheating or plagiarism will be referred to the
Dean of Students for consultation.
-
Evaluation: A relationship between competency completion and a grade emerges
in scores given for essays, research paper, electronic forum, labs, and
final exam (given in the
Collin
Testing Center).
The outcomes measured by exams match those required by the English
Department at Collin College.
- ACCOMMODATIONS:
American Disabilities Act Compliance
It is the policy of
Collin
College
to provide reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals who are students
with disabilities. This college will adhere to all applicable federal, state,
and local laws, regulations and guidelines with respect to providing reasonable
accommodations as required to afford equal educational
opportunity. It is the student's responsibility to contact the faculty member
and/or the Services for Students with Disabilities at 881-5950 in a timely
manner to arrange for appropriate accommodations.
- MEET
DEADLINES. A late paper will result in a ten-point deduction each day the
paper is late. AFTER ONE CLASS, NO PAPERS WILL BE ACCEPTED. If you
encounter an emergency, email me in advance of the deadline to make
special arrangements; otherwise, your paper will be considered late.
-
COURSE
REPETITION POLICY.
You may repeat this course only once after receiving a grade, including W.
-
RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS:
In
accordance with Section 51.911 of the Texas Education
Code, CCCC will allow a student who is absent from class for observance of a
religious holy day to take an examination or complete an assignment scheduled
for that day within a reasonable time. Students
required to file a written request with each professor within the first fifteen
days of the semester to qualify for an excused absence. A copy of the state
rules and procedures regarding holy days and the form for notification of
absence from each class under this provision are available from the Registrar's
Office.
- ATTENDANCE:
As
the Collin College Student Handbook states, "Regular classroom attendance . . . is expected
of all students" (26).
It is the responsibility of the student to consult with the
instructor after an absence. After
three consecutive absences the student should drop the
course. In addition, students should be on time for class.
If a student is ten minutes late,
he/she will be counted absent.
-
WITHDRAWAL DATE: Students
must drop the course by March 12, 5:00 p.m.
if they wish to withdraw and to receive a
W for the course. They must go to the Registrar and fill out the paperwork
to drop the course. Otherwise students are given the performance grade at
the time they stop attending class, which is often an F since they will
not have completed much of the work.
-
Students are limited to a six-course drop for all Texas
courses in which they have enrolled including from transfer colleges. To
