ACTIVITIES TO MEET OBJECTIVES •

Homework Assignments will account for 40% of the total grade. Students will be asked to demonstrate their knowledge of course principles and procedures through completion of selected problems presented at the end of each chapter in the course textbook. Homework assignments should be completed as requested (see class schedule and due dates posted in CANVAS). Note: Instructor may not grade all homework but it is to your advantage to complete all assignments since missing an assignment that is graded would result in a zero grade for that assignment.

✓ Late Homework: Absent extraordinary circumstances with documentation – e.g., major illness or death in immediate family, no late homework will be accepted. •

Online Discussions. Students will demonstrate their ability to synthesize, evaluate and draw conclusions by participating actively in online discussions.

•

Quizzes. Students will apply their knowledge of course principles and procedures via successful performance on chapter quizzes.

•

Writing Requirements. In written portions of assigned homework, online discussions, and chapter quizzes, students will be required to paraphrase and quote relevant course material, use technical vocabulary accurately, and express conclusions supported by appropriate factual data.

Changes to the Syllabus I have attempted to make this syllabus as comprehensive and accurate as possible and I may occasionally need to make small adjustments during the quarter. I will announce any changes in class or notify you in writing.

Support for Students Equity and Accessibility Everett Community College through its Vision, Mission, and Strategic Plan, has made an institutional commitment to establish a diverse, equitable and inclusive working and learning environment. My goal is to create a classroom environment in which everyone can participate and learn. Because of the diversity of backgrounds, experiences, and beliefs all of us bring to this class, I expect you to interact with your peers in a spirit of generosity, mutual respect, and understanding. If there are aspects of this course that prevent you from learning or that exclude you, please speak with me as soon as possible. Together we can develop strategies to meet both your needs and the requirements of this course. I am happy to talk privately after class or during my office hours. You also have the right to request accommodation for a verified disability. For information and assistance, contact the Center for Disability Services (located in Parks 267, 425-388-9272, or [email protected]) for help documenting specific needs you may have and determining appropriate accommodations. Reasonable Accommodations for Faith/Conscience: Everett Community College students are entitled to two days of excused absences per academic year (summer quarter through the end of spring quarter) for reasons of faith or conscience or for organized activities conducted under the auspices of a religious denomination, church, or religious organization. Everett Community College will grant reasonable accommodation so that grades are not impacted for students who are absent for reasons of faith or conscience, or for an organized activity conducted under the auspices of a religious denomination, church, or religious organization. Such absences must be requested in writing within the first two weeks of the class or the first week for a late start class and may not incur additional fees for students . This policy and the associated procedure is posted on the Student Rights & Responsibilities website. Students who have concerns about approval or a grade impact may utilize the student grievance procedure for concerns not directly related to grades, or to the grade appeal process in cases impacting a final grade. We understand that for our campus to be welcoming and safe, it must be free from all forms of discrimination. Everett Community College does not discriminate based on, but not limited to, race, religion, creed, color, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, pregnancy or parental status, marital status, disability, genetic information, or status as a veteran of war. If you believe that you have been subjected to discrimination or harassment based upon any of these, you should let me know or contact the college’s Title IX Coordinator at [email protected] or 425-388-9271.

Counseling and Student Success College is an exciting and unique time in our lives. It can also bring a great deal of stress from things like family problems, academic expectations, financial responsibilities and relationships. It is important that we all take care of ourselves and that we know where to turn for help. Please know that there are resources available right here on our campus. EvCC Counselors can assist with career counseling, academic/educational counseling, advising, and referral to community mental health resources.

Librarians assist students in locating information and developing research skills.

General Information about EvCC Policies and Procedures As outlined in the campus civility statement, Everett Community College is committed to providing a safe learning and working environment. The expectation is that all students will conduct themselves in a civil, respectable and appropriate manner as a responsible member of the college community. The Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook identifies and describes college expectations, students’ rights, and outlines the process for resolving disciplinary matters, including Student Code of Conduct violations. The provisions of the Student Code of Conduct apply to all students whenever they are on the college campus, in college housing, or engaged in college-sponsored activities and functions. Emergency Preparedness and Campus Closures In the event of an emergency situation adversely affecting college operations, public health, or the wellbeing and safety of students or employees, the college president may declare a temporary closure of any or all units of the institution. If the event of a closure, information will be posted on the opening screen of the EvCC website, emailed to students and employees at their college email address, and will also be available as a message on the college’s main phone line at 425-388-9100. Students may sign up to receive an emergency alert as a text message or by personal email through the Rave system. Faculty will communicate with students about adjustments in course content or requirements, including assignment deadlines that may be impacted by a closure. Academic Calendar Registration and payment dates, application and refund deadlines, the final examination schedule and all other information related to the academic year and each individual quarter is available on the college website . Expected Computer Skills and Knowledge for this course

Your instructor is not responsible for and cannot support personal computers and other personal electronic devices. The student is expected to know how to troubleshoot personal computer problems and have a working computer with stable internet service and access to EvCC email and Canvas (used by EvCC to support online, hybrid, and web-enhanced courses). It is also recommended every student regularly back up computer files to either an external hard drive or USB drive. It is recommended you use Excel 2019 Pro, or Office 365 Pro.

Academic Honesty: Academic honesty is highly valued at EvCC. You must always submit work that represents your original words or ideas. Be sure you cite all relevant sources and make clear the extent to which outside sources were used. Words or ideas that require citation include, but are not limited to, all hard copy or electronic publications. If you’re using the text as a source it is okay to cite a page number. Be aware of plagiarism laws and protect yourself by quoting and citing your resources-- give credit to the original sources and be careful to label your opinions or summaries. Any use of someone else’s work with the intent to submit it as your own will result in a failing grade for that assignment and possible failure of the course. If you use “non approved resources” during an assessment (quiz or exam) whether online or physical documents or recordings, you WILL FAIL THIS COURSE.

Syllabus and Course Outline:

This syllabus represents a tentative plan for how the course will be conducted. Several conditions and circumstances may occur that necessitate changing the topics, activities, materials, etc. The instructor reserves the right to make any changes, as he deems necessary. Please check back for updates of this in Canvas for updated information as the quarter proceeds, especially if you only print out the syllabus details and schedule early in the quarter.

Final Thoughts A few final thought for the quarter. Here is one of my favorite quotes from one of the most successful college basketball coaches that is spot on when it comes to your college classes and one you should keep in mind during your academic and professional careers:

"Failing to prepare is preparing for failure". - John Wooden Here are a couple more related to integrity and ethics: “Integrity is doing the right thing, even if nobody is watching”. – C.S. Lewis “Relativity applies to physics, not ethics”. – Albert Einstein

“It's literally a new world now, so either we adapt to it collectively as one species or only the privileged healthy will be left to live. And the only way to adapt to a new world is to keep working through mistakes, failures and changes, driven by a sense of community.” ― Abhijit Naskar
