Academic Calendar:

Calendar for Fall 2009 courses

Assignments and activities:

Assignments will be updated each Monday before class (pending need for extensions) I will try and post grades within a week of the deadline timeframe.  Students will have an additional week to turn in late assignments pending a submitted email to instructor requesting extra time and completion of work by late deadline.  No assignments will be accepted after the late deadline.

Assignments and projects will only be graded from working links on the student server. Make sure and check the student server site to confirm all assignment and project links are linking properly.  Because the FTP process is an integral concept of web design:

NO ASSIGNMENTS OR PROJECTS WILL BE ACCEPTED FROM EMAIL ATTACHMENTS.

Attendance Policy:

Students are expected to attend class regularly. Regular “class attendance” is essential.  Statistics have proven that regular class attendance leads to success in online and face to face courses. If you are unable to attend class, please email the instructor at gespinosa@dcccd.edu or leave a phone message, Office # (972) 238-6258 BEFORE THE CLASS BEGINS.

Students who will be absent from class for the observance of a religious holiday will be allowed to makeup examinations or assignments missed that day IF their instructor was notified not later than the 15th day of the semester. Please refer to the college catalog Student Obligations -- Attending Classes section.

Your attendance will be calculated in the ONLINE grade book – as A1 for week 1, A2 for week 2, etc. Students will have 10 points for each week of attendance. Each absence will deduct -5 points from the weekly attendance grade. 2 late attendance (30 minutes)  will equal 1 absence. 

Students will have an additional week to turn in late assignments pending a submitted email to instructor requesting extra time and completion of work by late deadline.  No assignments will be accepted after the late deadline.

Religious Holidays:

Absences for observance of a religious holy day are excused. A student whose absence is excused to observe a religious holy day is allowed to contract with the instructor to take a make-up examination or complete an assignment within a reasonable time after the absence.

Midterm Project:

Instructions on this project will be provided close to midterm. This activity is designed to help you work in groups and to become familiar with interactive instruments within the Blackboard courseware management environment.

Final Project:

Students will work individually on this project. The final project will be based on concepts learned throughout the semester.

Withdrawal Policy:

If you are unable to complete this course, it is your responsibility to withdraw formally. The withdrawal request must be received in the Registrar’s Office by the semester's withdrawal date.

Six Drop Policy:

STOP BEFORE YOU DROP!
For students who enrolled in college level courses for the first time in the fall of 2007, Texas Education Code 51.907 limits the number of courses a student may drop.

You may drop no more than six (6) courses during your entire undergraduate career unless the drop qualifies as an exception. Your campus counseling/advising center will give you more information on the allowable exceptions.

Remember that once you have accumulated six (6) non-exempt drops, you cannot drop any other courses with a “W”. Therefore, please exercise caution when dropping courses in any Texas public institution of higher learning, including all seven of the Dallas County Community Colleges. For more information, you may access:

All third and subsequent attempts of the majority of credit and Continuing Education/Workforce Training courses will result in additional tuition to be charged. Developmental Studies and some other courses will not be charged a higher tuition rate. Third attempts include courses taken at any of the Dallas County Community Colleges since the Fall 2002 Semester. See Third Attempt to Enroll in a Course at http://www.dcccd.edu/thirdcourseattempt/
