Participation (or Attendance)I take attendance only for record keeping. See supplemental policy sheet for specific details.

IncompletesAn incomplete grade may be given to a student who, by the withdrawal date, can reasonably be expected to pass the course. Incompletes may be granted only when justified by extreme circumstances (e.g., serious illness, accident, death or serious illness in the immediate family). Incomplete grades are not given for such reasons as unjustified failure to appear for the final examination. A written agreement, outline the requirements to be met, must be signed by the instructor and the student. The agreed upon requirements must be completed no later than the end of the following semester (spring semester for incompletes granted during the fall, and the following fall for incompletes given during the spring and summer semesters). By the agreed upon date, the instructor will assign a grade or the incomplete will be changed to an ‘F’ if the requirements are not completed.

Extra Credit NO NONE

Missing an exam and assignments policyOnly prior arrangements before a lab, test or reading /activity assessment will be honored.

Deadlines Turn work on time and it will be accepted nothing will be allowed late.

Required Writing and Reading:There will be one written assignment for this course. The paper will relate to industrial technologies.  Students will be expected to read assigned selections from the textbook. All labs are to include descriptive comments within the write-up/answer section relating to each lab.

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism

Academic Integrity Academic integrity is a fundamental principle of collegial life at Heartland Community College and is essential to the credibility of the College’s educational programs. Moreover, because grading may be competitive, students who misrepresent their academic work violate the right of their fellow students. The College, therefore, views any act of academic dishonest as a serious offense requiring disciplinary measures, including course failure, suspension, and even expulsion from the College. In addition, an act of academic dishonesty may have unforeseen effects far beyond any officially imposed penalties.Violations of academic integrity include, but are not limited to cheating, aiding or suborning cheating or other acts of academic dishonesty, plagiarism, misrepresentation of data, falsification of academic records or documents and unauthorized access to computerized academic or administrative records or systems. Definitions of these violations may be found in the college catalog.

PlagiarismPlagiarism is the presenting of others’ ideas as if they were your own. When you write a paper, create a project, do a presentation or create anything original, it is assumed that all the work, except for that which is attributed to another author or creator, is your own. Plagiarism is considered a serious

academic offense and may take the following forms:Copying word-for-word from another source and not giving that source credit.Paraphrasing the work of another and not giving that source credit.Adopting a particularly apt phrase as your own.Using an image or a copy of an image without crediting its source.Paraphrasing someone else’s line of thinking in the development of a topic as if it were your own.Receiving excessive help from a friend or elsewhere, or using another project as if it were your own.

[Adapted from the Modern Language Association’s MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. New York: MLA, 1995: 26]

Note that word-for-word copying is not the only form of plagiarism. The penalties for plagiarism may be severe, ranging from failure on the particular piece of work, failure in the course or expulsion from school in extreme cases.
