2 Honesty All students are required and expected to comply with the Diablo Valley College Student Code of Conduct, and avoid Academic Dishonesty (described at the end of this syllabus). Infraction, as determined solely by the instructor, may result in a zero grade for that work, a lowered grade for the work, suspension, or expulsion. The instructor may require that the student make up the same, or another (possibly more demanding) assignment to demonstrate competence and understanding of the material, and may refer the student to the Dean of Student Life for further action. Tests and quizzes are to be done by one person only. No notes or consultations are permitted. If you are asked to write a paragraph or an essay, it is NOT acceptable to copy the text from a text book or the internet. Grading: Grades will be assigned based on your point total. Exams, class work, quizzes, and homework will be included. There will be at least 290 points possible. Grades will be assigned based on: 230 points and up A points B points C points D <140 points F You can see your scores on each assignment and your point total inside Desire2Learn under Grades in the Assessments menu. Practice quizzes, tests and homework do not count for your total, but do improve your skill and grades.
