This course will be taught as a Real-Time Online course. Below is the school’s definition of Real-Time Online.

_x000D_
Real time Online classes also take place in an online format, but these

_x000D_
classes recreate the in-person classroom experience using virtual

_x000D_
instruction. You will access your class through a link that will be provided

_x000D_
by your instructor. You will meet and learn in a real time virtual classroom

_x000D_
along with your other class members.

_x000D_

REQUIREMENTS: Classes will be taught through the internet using zoom. The zoom link and passcode will be sent out through email prior to the first class meeting and will also be posted in Blackboard under “content.” However, if necessary, I will switch to using Blackboard Collaborate Ultra (The directions for using blackboard collaborate ultra will be sent out to everyone if it becomes necessary.) For example, if “zoom bombing” occurs or if people not registered for the class regularly get into the class sessions and cause trouble, then classes will be taught through Blackboard Collaborate Ultra. As long as no trouble occurs, I will be using zoom. Webcams equipped with a microphone will be necessary in order for students to interact with the instructor during the course. Recordings of the lessons will usually be made. (I say “usually” because it could happen that I forget to record the lesson, but I’ll make an effort not to forget.) However, students are expected to attend class during the regular class time. Students can ask questions during class but can’t ask questions when they are only watching a recording. Recordings of zoom lessons will usually be posted in the content section of Blackboard within 24 hours of the time that the lesson ends.

_x000D_
Homework will be assigned every day (or almost every day) that the class meets but will not be collected or graded. Homework assignments and announcements of upcoming quizzes and tests will be put in the content section of Blackboard usually within 24 hours of the time that a lesson ends.

_x000D_
Each student is responsible for all material taught or assigned by the instructor. If a student misses a class, it is the student’s responsibility to find out what material was covered and whether or not there will be a quiz or test coming up. Not knowing that there would be a quiz or test does not excuse a student from taking it.

_x000D_
OFFICE HOURS: Office hours are times when students may ask the instructor to go over any homework problems, topics from class, problems on returned quizzes or tests, or any other topics relating to the course. Office hours will be conducted on campus, but I will have a link in Zoom for those who want to attend office hours that way. The link for office hours will be provided during the first week of class. The link for office hours will not be the same as the link for class.

_x000D_
EXAMINATIONS: There will be three tests during the semester and a cumulative final exam. In addition, there will also be several short quizzes, usually one per week beginning with the second week of class. (There will be no pop quizzes.) The lowest quiz grade will be dropped. The quiz average will count as one test. There will usually be no quiz during a week in which there is a test (unless the quiz is given as a take-home quiz.)

_x000D_
Tests will be taken during normal class times. They will be placed into Blackboard and also be sent out in email. To take a test or quiz either print out the quiz or test or copy the problems down on paper. When you are done you may take photos of the individual pages and either submit them though Blackboard or through email. (I recommend you do both, just to be safe so that there is no concern on whether or not it went through and whether or not I received it.) When submitting a test or a quiz, please check the following:

_x000D_
1)The handwriting is legible.

_x000D_
2)There is plenty of light so that I can see what is written.

_x000D_
3) No shadow is covering part or all of a page.

_x000D_
4) All your work is submitted. If you take a test but forget to submit a page, you

_x000D_
will not get any points for the missing problems.

_x000D_
No student will be allowed to take a quiz or a test after the day and time that the quiz or test is given to the rest of the class. NO MAKEUP QUIZZES OR TESTS WILL BE GIVEN. The only exception to this in which a makeup test will be given is in the situation in which a quiz or test occurs on a day on which a student will be observing one of the religious holy days posted on the school’s website. In that case the student MUST notify the instructor IN ADVANCE BY ONE FULL DAY what the religious observance is and that he or she will be observing that religions obligation. In that event, the makeup quiz or test must be completed the next day. The lowest quiz grade and the lowest test grade (which could be the quiz average or the final exam) will be dropped.

_x000D_
The number of problems on each test will be chosen so that a student should be able to complete the test within one class period. As a rule, I will expect all tests and quizzes to be submitted by midnight on the day of the quiz or exam. No test or quiz will be accepted after that time.

_x000D_
Tests and quizzes may have instructions at the beginning of the test saying on which problems a student must show the work. For those problems, if no work is shown, no credit will be given. If only part of the work is shown, only part of the credit will be given. Problems need to be solved using the methods shown in class. Tests and quizzes are to be completed without students working together or getting outside help. If I have reason to believe students cheated, either by communicating and working together on a test (for example if two students submit identical tests with the same correct answers and the same mistakes), or by some other method, the students that cheated will get a score of 0 on the quiz or test. If I see that a student solved a problem in a way that I never taught, it will be assumed that the student looked up the solution on the internet or had someone else solve the problem. The student will get a zero for that problem.

_x000D_

_x000D_
GRADING POLICY: Each student’s final grade will be based on the quiz average, the three grades on the tests during the semester, and the grade for the final exam. The lowest quiz grade and the lowest major grade (which could be the quiz average, the grade for test 1, the grade for test 2, the grade for test 3, or the grade on the final exam) will be dropped.

Vaccination & COVID-19-related Requirements

_x000D_
In alignment with  HYPERLINK “https://www.suny.edu/sunypp/documents.cfm?doc_id=900” \t “_blank” SUNY’s COVID-19 Vaccination Policy, all students coming to campus for classes, activities or services must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19.

_x000D_
In addition, as soon as they are eligible, students are required to present evidence of a COVID-19 vaccine booster during the spring 2022 semester. Details regarding student eligibility to receive the booster will be communicated directly to students and made available on the website.

_x000D_
Mandatory COVID-19 Safety Measures

_x000D_
The safety, health, and well-being of students and the college community are Suffolk County Community College’s primary concern during the COVID-19 pandemic. Your compliance with these mandatory safety measures will help reduce the risk of on-campus transmission of COVID to assist in keeping our campus safe so we can convene face-to-face classes and student activities. Failure to comply with the COVID-19 safety measures will result in referral to the Office of the Campus Associate Dean of Student Affairs for potential disciplinary action.

_x000D_
Masking Requirements

_x000D_
In accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, Suffolk requires that all members of our campus community wear masks in the classroom, inside any College buildings, and in any crowded outdoor settings. These masks should cover both your nose and mouth and are required regardless of vaccination status. Suffolk may change the masking protocols, course modality or other guidance as the COVID rate is monitored and as required by New York State, SUNY, and the local health department. Students who cannot wear a face mask due to a medical condition or disability, or who are unable to remove a mask without assistance, should seek an accommodation through the Office of Disability Services. Eating in the classroom is prohibited. Students are encouraged to find alternative spaces in the building for eating. If you do not adhere to any of these practices, you will be asked to leave the room. Non-compliance will result in referral to the Student Conduct Office for potential further disciplinary action.

_x000D_
Course Modality Changes

_x000D_
This course may need to transition to remote instruction should the need arise due to tightening local, state, or federal guidelines that cause the College to pause face-to-face instruction or due to classroom exposure related to COVID-19. Please look for announcements on Blackboard or your Suffolk email.

_x000D_
Student Absence

_x000D_
Students who have tested positive for COVID-19, who believe they may have been exposed or who are symptomatic should not come on campus and must notify their Campus Associate Dean of Student Affairs: • Ammerman Campus: Dr. Edward Martinez: martineze@sunysuffolk.edu • Eastern Campus: Dr. Mary Reese: reesem@sunysuffolk.edu • Michael J. Grant Campus: Dr. Meryl Rogers: rogersm@sunysuffolk.edu

_x000D_
Students should contact their instructor(s) as soon as possible if they miss class for any illness to discuss reasonable adjustments that might need to be made. When possible, students should contact their instructor(s) before missing class.

_x000D_
College Policies

_x000D_
Absences and Attendance Policy

_x000D_
The College expects that each student will exercise personal responsibility with regard to class attendance. All students are expected to attend every class session of each course for which they are registered. Students are responsible for all that transpires in class whether or not they are in attendance, even if absences are the result of late registration or add/drop activity at the beginning of a term as permitted by college policy. The College defines excessive absence or lateness as more than the equivalent of one week of class meetings during the semester. Excessive absence or lateness may lead to failure in, or removal from, the course. Absences due to religious observance will be deemed an excused absence with no negative consequences.

_x000D_
Any student who enters a class after the first meeting, regardless of reason, is accountable for all course requirements including assignments and attendance.

_x000D_
A student may be required to drop or withdraw from a course when, in the judgment of the instructor, absences have been excessive. A student may also be withdrawn from a course by the Associate Dean of Student Services or the Student Conduct Board following a disciplinary hearing for violating the Student Code of Conduct as described in the Student Handbook.

_x000D_
Attendance on Religious Observance

_x000D_
As provided for in New York State Education Law §224-a, student absences from class necessitated by religious observance will be deemed an excused absence, with no academic consequences. Students must notify their professor in advance of their religious observance, via their College email accounts or otherwise in writing, of their intention to be absent from a particular class due to a religious observance; notification should occur at least one week prior to the religious observance. Observing students shall be granted reasonable arrangements and/or be permitted a reasonable amount of time to make up missed quizzes, tests, assignments, and activities covered in their absence. Please refer to the College’s Religious Observance Policy, which is available on the Office of Legal Affairs’ website, for additional information.

_x000D_
Services for Students with Disabilities

_x000D_
Suffolk County Community College provides reasonable accommodations to registered students with disabilities who have self-identified and been approved by the Office of Disability Services.

_x000D_
Once approved for reasonable accommodations, such students will be provided with an Accommodation Letter, describing the specific accommodations. Students must present this letter to each of their professors before accommodations can be provided. Students are encouraged to email this letter to their faculty member.

_x000D_
Students who have, or think they may have, a disability are invited to contact Disability Services for a confidential consultation. Students are encouraged to contact the office by email this semester.

Academic Integrity

_x000D_
Suffolk County Community College provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge by submitting coursework that is uniquely theirs and giving proper attribution to the work of others. Participating honestly in the SCCC academic community ensures that students can take pride in their education and their contributions to scholarship. Without academic integrity, students gain unfair advantage over others and prevent their own intellectual progress. As a student in this class, you are expected to uphold the SCCC core value of Integrity and understand the Special Procedures for Academic Dishonesty in the relevant sections of the SCCC Student Code of Conduct.

_x000D_
The Code prohibits academic misconduct, which includes any action that results in students giving or receiving unauthorized assistance in an academic exercise, or receiving credit for work that is not their own. Academic exercise includes all forms of work submitted for credit. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to, the following behaviors: cheating on exams; plagiarizing – using another person’s work or ideas without crediting them; complicity – helping a student, or being helped, to engage in academic misconduct; multiple submissions – submitting the same work for credit in more than one course without the instructor’s permission; falsification and forgery – inventing information or falsifying the identity of a student.

_x000D_
Information about the Student Code of Conduct, plagiarism and the citation process is in the Academic Integrity and Plagiarism Guide.
