CLASS EXPECTATIONS:
Mobile devices and Laptops: Technology can be a wonderful learning resource; however, it can also be a huge distraction in the learning environment. Cell phone use is not allowed in class. The classroom is practice for employment; texting is not a professional behavior and should only be used for emergencies. Laptops and mobile devices will only be allowed with the expressed permission of the instructor. Prompt arrival: Prompt arrival for each and every session is the classroom expectation. If you are going to be late or absent, please notify your instructor.

PARTICIPATION:
Group Presentation Expectations: Since collaboration on projects is a 21st century skill set expected by employers, most classes will require group projects. When a project includes a classroom presentation portion, please be prompt to class. Your group members are counting on your contribution as a portion of their grade. You must be in class at the scheduled start time of the course, or there will be a 25% deduction in your total grade.

HOMEWORK:
Completion of regular homework is expected in this course. All homework is to be the original work of the student.

BAKER STUDENT SUCCESS PHILOSOPHY:
Students are given the opportunity to turn in assignments for feedback from the instructor through the Blackboard component of the class. They are encouraged to make changes based on these suggestions before a grade on the assignment is given. Students are also given a detailed description of the assignment, along with a rubric outlining the criteria. This will help ensure their success.

LATE ASSIGNMENT POLICY:
Homework, take home test, speeches and/or projects are usually scheduled in advance with specific due dates. If a student is absent, it is the student s responsibility to keep up with homework so that he or she is not behind upon returning to school. Generally, if a student is absent for a valid reason, any late work is due within a week of the student s return to school. Regardless of the reason for absence, late homework is graded on a 75% sliding scale out of fairness to the students who finished their work on time.

MAKE UP WORK:
The student must make arrangements with me to take the test in the instructor s lab, at a time of the instructor's convenience. It is your responsibility to check Blackboard to see all materials that were covered in class. The standards deadline for homework applies even when class is missed. Please send me an email if you are absent or have a question about an assignment. Being confused about an assignment is not a valid excuse for extra time to turn the assignment into me.

FINAL EXAM:
Final presentations/projects CANNOT be made up. Students that arrive to class after the exam has begun will be permitted to take the exam, but will be required to turn in their exam at the same time as the rest of the class.

RETURN OF STUDENT WORK:
During the quarter, I will endeavor to return projects, test, and quizzes to you at the next class period. After the quarter, projects, test, etc., will be kept for 14 days after the end of the quarter. If you would like the materials returned to you, you must provide the instructor with a self addressed envelope with sufficient postage attached.

UNANTICIPATED ABSENCE:
Contact me as soon as possible if an emergency situation develops that prevents your attendance in class. If you will be out of class for two or more weeks, contact the Academic Office to prevent automatic withdrawal from class. If I am unable to attend class, the Academic Office will post a sign on the door about the class meeting. Students should wait at least 15 minutes after the scheduled class time begins for the instructor, or a substitute who may be teaching the class.
