Please note for the 2020 On-Line Zoom classes there will be a short quiz at the end of

each class (5 questions to review the material that was covered in class).

A 90-100% 4.0 P Pass (70% or above)

Class Policies:

You are expected to attend all classes and be on time. Please see AMC Student Handbook

for details on attendance, tardiness, missed exams, and early departure policies. Cell

phones and electronic devices must be turned off or put on silent mode. Eating, drinking,

and gum-chewing are unacceptable, unsanitary, and not permitted under any

circumstances.

Homework:

Homework is an important part of learning at AMC. On a daily basis in each course as

reflected in the course syllabus, reading assignments must be completed outside of

class. The readings supplement the class lectures and it is your responsibility to complete

all reading assignments before coming to class. Instructors use oral and written quizzes

to check that students have completed the reading assignments.

Written homework assignments are turned in to the instructor in each class and count

toward your course grade. Homework must be done prior to the class in which it is due.

You are responsible on quizzes and the final exam for all material in the reading

assignments whether covered in the class lectures or not.

Honor Code:

AMC is committed to academic integrity. Students at AMC are expected to conduct

themselves in an ethical and professional manner. This means that you are expected to be

https://www.amcollege.edu/hubfs/Student%20Handbook%202020-2021%20.pdf

of 28

honest in your academic work. Plagiarism and cheating will not be tolerated and will be

dealt with as set forth in the AMC Student Handbook.

Appropriate Classroom Laptop Use:

Acceptable in-class uses of laptops and other web-enabled devices include: taking notes,

following along with the instructor on PowerPoints, working on assigned in-class

activities, projects, and discussion. Unacceptable in-class uses of laptops and other web-

enabled devices include: texting or e-mailing, surfing the Internet, playing games, writing

papers or doing homework.

AMC Faculty consider inappropriate in-class uses of laptops and web-enabled devices

equivalent to non-participation in class and reserve the right to lower student grades

accordingly.

OM Attendance

If a student has less than 80% attendance in any course, he/she will lose points in

participation grade for that course. For courses in the OM program consisting of 15

classes this translates to no more than three (3) absences. For OM courses that consist of

7 weeks this translate to only one absence. Shorter courses will allow fewer absences and

in some short courses no absences will be permitted.

Recording in Class:

Students will NOT be allowed to audio record lectures in this course.

In the Oriental Medicine program, students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 by

the end of each semester in their first 6 semesters (undergraduate level courses) and a

cumulative GPA of 3.0 in their last 3 semesters (masters level courses) and a minimum of

80% attendance in order to have your degree conferred.
