Special Needs: Students having special needs as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act should notify the Office of Disability Services as early in the term as possible. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the Disability Support Office prior to document disability prior to receiving services.

Notify the instructor after you have contacted the Office of Disability Services so the instructor can consult with the Office of Disability Services to discuss what reasonable accommodations would be appropriate for your situation.

Academic Honesty (Cheating):
Each student's academic work must be the result of his or her own thought, research, or self-expression.

Cheating includes, but is not limited to: copying the work of another person (plagiarism) or permitting your work to be copied by another person, discussing test answers or questions with people who have not completed the test, distributing assignment materials to other students, poses sing course materials that have not been formally released to students in the course, and collaborating on the completion of assignments not specifically designated in the syllabus as being "group projects".

Cheating will be considered a breach of Broward Community College's Code of Conduct Policy and may result in academic penalties (zero points on the assignment/test in question, a failing grade for the course), disciplinary action, and/or a referral to the Dean of Student Affairs. Examples 1) If it appears two or more students have submitted the same material for any solo assignments, each student involved will receive zero points for that assignment. 2) If it appears a student has copied an assignment from published material (including Internet sites), the student will receive an zero points for that assignment.

The third attempt at this course will result in a grade. The third withdrawal from this course automatically becomes an "F". The state policy for remedial courses is more stringent.
You are responsible for changing to audit or withdrawal. If you simply quit attending without officially withdrawing or auditing after the first exam, you will be awarded an "F" at the end of the term. To withdraw or audit, you must go to the registrar. After the date to withdraw or audit has passed, you will receive a grade in the course, no exception.

To audit, you must have my permission, attend lab or class regularly, take all quizzes, exams, practicals, etc., and complete all assignments. Failure to do so will result in a grade of "W".
