Outside of Class Assignments, Required Reading, Writing, and Other:

Over an 18-week presentation of a course, three hours per week are required for each unit of credit. For each hour of lecture, two hours of independent work done outside of class are required. The students in this class will be doing the following outside of class:

  • Study
  • Answer Questions
  • Required Reading
  • Written Work (essays/composition/report/analysis/research)
  • Observation of, or participation in, an activity related to course content (e.g., play, museum, concert, debate, meeting, etc.)
  • CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION:
    Class will be primarily interactive lectures based on the assigned readings and projected images from a website.  Occasionally we will be viewing video tapes.  You will do a variety of reading activities in pairs, groups, and individually.  You are expecterd to participate in all activities.  We will cover 6-8 untis from the text.  In addition, there will be supplemental reading activities also required.   Part of your grade will be based on class participation and attendance.
     
     

     
    How I handle class participation: 
    • I try to favor a new respondent over someone who has previously contributed to the discussion.
    • I seek to alternate genders between voices heard.
    • I will respond to all constructive and well intentioned contributions with respect to the student and the class.

    There is an internet site created for your benefit at : http://www.vsearch.com/Kenney/
    A tentative calendar/schedule will be provided with this greensheet; however, there will be times when the schedule will need to be adjusted.

    Attendance is mandatory and attendance will be taken.

  • Three absences drops your "Class Participation/Attendance/Office meeting" grade a full letter.
  • Each additional absence drops your "Class Participation/Attendance" grade a half a letter.
  • A lateness is worth a half absence.  Please note that this is significant because it comprises 10% of your over all grade.
  • If you miss 3 classes consecutively we may drop you or you may risk a lowered grade.

  •  
    EXAMINATIONS & QUIZZES:
  • There will be several quizzes based on the readings and classwork.
  • Notes and textbooks may not be used during quizzes in ART 101.
  • Notes and textbooks may be used on selected quizzes in ESL 161 Reading II for Second Language Learners.
  • Meeting deadlines on time is an important part of American academic culture; therfore, we will not accept late assignments unless you talk to us in advance.  Do not assume a late assignment will be accepted.  If you know that you will be absent for a quiz or a test, tell us before so we can make other arrangements.

    ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
    In American colleges, cheating on tests, copying other students' homework, and copying other people's papers are unacceptable and grounds for failure.  You are expected to turn in only your own work.

    All the work on your assignments must be in your own words.  You may not copy from the book, glossary, encyclopedia, the internet or another student.

    DO NOT QUOTE THE GLOSSARY OR BOOK'S PASSAGES: USE YOUR OWN WORDS.

    Academic dishonesty defrauds all those who depend upon the integrity of the College, its courses, and its degree and certificates.  Students are expected to follow the ethical standards required in Ohlone courses.  These Standards are defined in the Policy on Academic Dishonesty .  Violations of this policy include cheating and plagiarism.  (Copies of this policy are available in the offices of the Vice President, Educational Services/Deputy Superintendent; or Division Deans.)

    7.8.4.1 Definitions of Academic Dishonesty  (for further information visit http://www.ohlone.cc.ca.us/org/board/policy/Chapter7Reg.htm#7.8.2)

    A. Cheating

    At Ohlone, cheating is the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for academic work through the use of any dishonest, deceptive, or fraudulent means. Cheating at Ohlone includes but is not limited to the following:

    1. Copying, in part or in whole, from another's test or other evaluation instrument or obtaining answers from another person during the test;
    2. Submitting work previously presented in another course, if contrary to the rules of either course;
    3. Using or consulting during an examination sources or materials not authorized by the instructor;
    4. Altering or interfering with grading or grading instructions;
    5. Sitting for an examination by a surrogate, or as a surrogate;
    6. Any other act committed by a student in the course of his or her academic work which defrauds or misrepresents, including aiding or abetting in any of the actions defined above.

    B. Plagiarism
    At Ohlone, plagiarism is the act of representing the work of another as one's own (without giving appropriate credit) regardless of how that work was obtained and submitting it to fulfill academic requirements. Plagiarism at Ohlone includes but is not limited to
    1. The act of incorporating the ideas, words, sentences, paragraphs, or parts thereof, or the specific substance of another's work, without giving appropriate credit, and representing the product as one's own work; and
    2. Representing another's artistic/scholarly works such as musical compositions, computer programs, photographs, paintings, drawings, sculptures, or similar works as one's own.
     

    STANDARDS OF STUDENT CONDUCT
    The student has the right and shares the responsibility to exercise the freedom to learn. The student is expected to conduct himself/herself in accordance with standards of the college that are designed to perpetuate its educational purposes.  These procedures, along with applicable penalties for violation, are found in the Standards of Student Conduct and Discipline and Due Process Procedures. (Copies of this policy are available in the offices of the Vice President, Educational Services/Deputy Superintendent; or Division Deans.)

    Cell Phones and Pagers
    Please turn off your cell phones and beepers in class.

    If you are having any problems at all, we want you to call or see us. It's a good idea for you to drop by at least twice a semester just to say 'hello' and have a chat.
    We care about how you do.
