Attendance: My policy is in accordance with the College Class Attendance Policy found in the MCC student Handbook. Four (4) absences are considered sufficient for, though may not result in, withdrawal from the course. Repeated tardiness shall be interpreted by me and have the same effect as any absences. All absences must be discussed in advance to arrange for work which may have been missed.
Academic Honesty: My policy is in accordance with the College Academic Honesty Policy found in the MCC student Handbook. All assignments submitted must be a student’s own work. Students are permitted to discuss assignments and requirements. Any student found to be cheating and/or plagiarizing another’s work will be subject to disciplinary action.
Withdrawal : Please confer with me prior to initiating a withdrawal from this course. The student is responsible for initiating a withdrawal.
Meeting Place: Lecture - Room 9-271 Lab – Room 9-271
Meeting Times: Lecture CIS 201 Wed. 5:30 – 720 P.M. Lab CIS 201 Wed. 7:30 – 9:20 P.M.
Term Project: The student will be required to deal with Four class projects. Projects and their results will be stored on a Zip Disk. The student will be responsible for safeguarding the contents of their projects and lab exercises. Therefore, it is advisable to maintain a backup disk. The projects will be included as part of the final grade. Any missing projects will be graded as ZERO. These projects are individual assignments which means you are to do them by YOURSELF!!!. You may discuss assignments but must not ask any other students for help!!! If you get stuck, see me!!!!
Tests: (Exams) There will be a Mid-Term Exam and there will be a Comprehensive Final exam
Make-up Policy: Make-up Exams will be given only under special circumstances at the discretion of the instructor. The instructor must be contacted before the exam is given (or in some cases within 24 hours after the exam if not before) in order to approve the justification for the absence and make arrangements for a make-up. (A written explanation may be necessary. A regular doctor or dentist appointment is not an acceptable justification.) Any make-up exam must be taken within a 1 week period of the missed exam. Students who are unable to contact the instructor personally are to leave a message. Students are strongly encouraged to make every effort to attend class on the day of an exam because if the student's explanation is not acceptable, that student will receive a grade of ZERO for the exam.
Policies are subject to change with notification given by the instructor.
Grades will be posted on the department web server at the following URL

Exception: No student who scores below a 65 on the comprehensive Final Exam will be given a grade of C or above. If the students grade average is 73 or above and the student scores below a 65 on the Final Exam they will be given a maximum grade of C-.
Attendance: Prompt and regular attendance is expected/required for all lectures and labs. Any student that is consistently LATE, ABSENT or UNPREPARED for class may be DROPPED from the course.
Any combination of 4 of the following may result in the student being DROPPED from the course:
Unprepared for Lecture/Lab, Missing Assignments/Labs/Projects, Absent, Late.
Responsibilities: Even if a class is missed the student is responsible for the material covered, the assignments given, and any announcements made regarding changes in policies.
