Exams (30%) Three exams will be given throughout the semester. Final Exam (20%) A mandatory cumulative final exam will be given on campus. Laboratory (30%) All labs will be completed at home (escience Lab box) Course Grading is subject to change, per discretion of the instructor. 1. COURSE REQUIREMENTS A. Exams Three Exams will be given throughout the semester. Missed Exams cannot be made up. Every student is required to take each exam. Hourly Exams will be given through Blackboard or SmartWork. Exams will be open for a period of one week (Wednesday through Wednesday). All exams will be timed and one attempt will be allowed. Missed exams will result in a grade of a zero. FINAL EXAM: The Final Exam is cumulative and is the only portion of this course that is required to be taken face-to-face. Students will take the cumulative final exam at CFCC or proctored at another college. The cumulative final exam MUST be taken on-campus, NO EXCEPTIONS. If you are to have your Final Exam proctored at another college, arrangements must be made by Saturday, May 4, 2013 (arrangements are the student s responsibility but must be approved by your instructor). The final exam is mandatory; not taking the Final Exam will result in a failing grade for the course. B. Quizzes FINAL EXAM DATE: Saturday, May 4, 2013 FINAL EXAM TIME: 9:00 AM FINAL EXAM LOCATION: Cape Fear Community College Downtown Campus Natural Science Building Room N309 Weekly quizzes will be given. Quizzes will also be administered through Blackboard and/or SmartWork. In general Quizzes will be posted the Wednesday of that week s Module and closed the Wednesday of the following Module week. For Example, Quiz I 2

is posted the Wednesday of Module I week through the Wednesday of Module II week. Each quiz is allowed one attempt with exception to Quiz I. C. Homework Homework assignments will be given weekly. No late homework assignments will be accepted. All homework will be run through SmartWork. In general all HW assignments are posted the first day of the module week and the assignment is due the Monday of the following Module. For Example, HW I will be posted on the first day of Module I and will be due the Monday of Module II. D. Laboratory Requirements Weekly laboratory assignments are to be completed in your kitchen. Lab Reports must be received (attached the lab folder inside each module) by their designated due date, NO LATER. Late Labs will not be accepted. Laboratory assignments will also include exercises and simulations to be completed on the Web. In general, all lab reports are due the Friday after the module in which they were assigned. For example, the Lab Activity is assigned in Module II and the Lab Report is due the Friday of Module III. (1) Purchase escience Lab Box from the CFCC bookstore or on-line: (2) Make sure you dress properly while working through your kitchen laboratories. Proper dress includes safety glasses and closed-toe shoes. (3) Most experiments will require a formal lab report (starting with lab 4) to be turned in one week after the laboratory is assigned. Each student MUST complete his or her own lab report. Copying others lab reports will result in a failing grade in the course. (4) All lab reports MUST be completed using Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. All data must be typed up and turned in via email (as one attachment). Incorporate all your data into the Microsoft Word Document you will type your lab report on. (5) Lab Reports will consist of 5 sections. Each sentence should be written in paragraph form. Name, Date, Title of Laboratory Introduction (ie prelab questions) o Explain concept and objective of laboratory o What is the goal of the experiment? o How (conceptually) will goal be reached Results o Include all data collected: excel spreadsheets, data tables, etc. in the word document (copy and paste) o include all calculations in the document using either by writing them in or by scanning/picture phone etc. o Include any observations made while working through the lab. o Answer any additional questions provided by your instructor o 3

Discussion (ie postlab questions). o Was the objective met? o Interpret & discuss results obtained. o Discuss problems with laboratory procedure or equipment o If your objective was not met, discuss possible sources of error. o Answer any additional questions provided by your instructor * Make sure you answer all questions asked throughout the laboratory procedure* (6) Look over the materials you will need throughout the semester to perform your labs. E. Attendance Because this is an Internet course, attendance cannot be taken daily. The following guidelines apply for this course: Missing 3 weeks of consecutive homework assignments and/or labs will result in a course grade of F Missing a combination of any 2 hour exams, or 4 weekly quizzes will result in a course grade of F Religious Observances: Students will be allowed two days of excused absence each academic year for religious observances required by the faith of the student. These excused absences will be included in the twenty (20%) percent of allowable clock hour absences. Students are required to provide written notice of the request for an excused absence by completing the Religious Observance Absence form available in Student Development. The completed form must be submitted to the Vice President of Student Development or his/her designee a minimum of ten (10) school days prior to the religious observance. The Vice President of Student Development or his/her designee will notify the instructor within three (3) school days of receiving the request. Students will be given the opportunity to make up any tests or other work missed due to the excused absence and should work with their instructors in advance of the excused absence to delineate how to make up the missed coursework (N.C.G.S. 115D-5). Accommodation of Special Needs Based on Disability: Any student who requests classroom accommodations because of a disability must present documentation to verify his/her disability. This documentation must be furnished to the Disabilities Service Coordinator, and this should be provided prior to requesting accommodation by the instructor. On a confidential basis, the student, disabilities services and the instructor will determine the appropriate accommodations following documentation. Accommodations will be provided in a manner that is consistent with the objectives, outcomes, and academic standards of the course. Absences must not exceed class attendance policy. Academic Honesty: Any behavior indicating dishonesty, unethical intent or action as specified by CFCC will result in an F for the course. Please read the section on Cheating in the CFCC Catalog and Student Handbook. 4

Plagiarism is using as your own the words or ideas of another, whether written or oral. When you use material from a source, you must quote or paraphrase accurately and properly cite the information. Failure to do so is considered plagiarism. Examples of plagiarism include wordfor-word copying without correctly indicating that you are quoting, inaccurate quoting and paraphrasing, and incomplete or missing documentation. Purchasing a paper or copying someone else s work and submitting it as your own are also plagiarism. Any misrepresentation of the source in your writing or speaking would constitute a form of plagiarism. Whether intentional or unintentional, plagiarism is not acceptable and will result in the student being assigned a grade of zero for the assignment and/or the course, at the instructor s discretion. Children on Campus Policy: Per CFCC policy (Catalog & Student Handbook,), children cannot be taken into classrooms, laboratories or shops unless authorized by College personnel. Please be advised that, in part due to liability issues, children are not allowed into any classroom. Contingency Plan: If there is an emergency and the instructor or an appropriate substitute does not meet with the class, wait fifteen minutes. Then, everyone in the class should sign a roll sheet and designate someone to take it to the Science Department Chair or Secretary in N203. Student Accounts: Your mycfcc account is a single username and password for all of your CFCC network accounts: email, WebAdvisor, Blackboard, campus computer access, and more. The email account provided to you (yourusername@mail.cfcc.edu) is used for all official communication with CFCC instructors and staff. Some information will ONLY be sent by email and not by postal mail, so it is very important that you check this account. This account may also be used for personal mail, but is subject to the CFCC Acceptable Use Policy. Be sure to logout of your account in each service you may have opened (email, Blackboard, etc) when you leave a shared computer, otherwise it is possible for the next user of the computer to access your information.
