CELL PHONE USAGE

            TVCC policy is that cell phones are not allowed to be used during class.  If your cell phone goes off during class after a warning, the cell phone will be taken and turned into the Dean’s office.  You will meet with the Dean in order to determine if your phone will be returned.  In the case of an emergency, please notify the instructor prior to class beginning and turn your phone on vibrate.  (This includes texting during class). 

CHEATING

            Any student that has been caught cheating will receive a 0 on that assignment.  Any student caught cheating a second time will automatically receive a F for the class and will be reported to the Dean.

Notes:

1. NO MAKE-UP EXAMS will be given.  If you know you are going to miss class on the day of an exam, you may arrange to take the test before the next class meeting.  Otherwise, the final will replace the missed exam.  WARNING: The final may replace no more than one exam.
2. The “lab work” points are based on the activities in your workbook.  This will be due on the day of the exam covering those sections. Every problem in every section should be completed.  NO LATE WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED.

NOTE:       NO MAKE-UP EXAMS will be given.  The final will replace the missed exam.  WARNING:  The final may replace no more than one exam.

Group Project:  All students are expected to actively participate in the group project - in the planning, creating, and presenting of the lesson.  Failure to contribute to your group will result in you receiving a 0 on the project.  Failure to present will also result in a 0 for the project.  This means you will NOT possibly receive an A for the course.
