Student
Conduct
We believe strongly in the Core Values
espoused by Parkland College in order to foster a positive classroom environment. All students are expected to follow these guidelines:
- Honesty and integrity (don't cheat, don't steal)
- Promptness (arrive on time and don't leave early)
- Courtesy (treat others as you would like to be treated)
- Respect differences among peers (we all have different learning preferences and speeds)
- Be helpful (we're here to learn as a group)
- Willingness to collaborate (team work and constructive feedback is highly encouraged)
- All cell phones turned off
- No games, IM or email during class (unless it's related to
course work) - No excessive noise or talking, please
Parkland's Academic Honesty and Computer Use policies as outlined in the Student Policies and Procedures Manual apply in this class. In short, cheating, plagiarism, theft or abuse of computer time may result in suspension of computer privileges, disciplinary review, suspension or expulsion from the college, termination of employment, and/or legal action.
Anyone found to be cheating will receive a zero for that assignment and the incident will be reported to the Dean. Cheating includes copying assignments from the internet or other students' assignments (from this or previous semesters).
Withdrawal Procedure
It is the student's responsibility to monitor his/her progress
in this course. If after consulting with the instructor, the student
feels it becomes necessary to withdraw from this course, it is
the responsibility of the student to do so. Please check the Academic Calendar to find out the final day for withdrawal with "W" grade.
If you have questions about the withdrawal procedure, see the Drop/Withdrawal Procedures Policy in Parkland's Student Policies and Procedures Manual.
