Attendance
Daily attendance is optional. You may work at home or elsewhere, or you may come into
the Olympus lab as often as you need for assistance during normal lab hours.
Grades
You will be graded on a Pass (S) Fail (U) basis. An average of 75 percent or above is required for
a passing grade; 74 percent and below is a failing grade.
Student Responsibility
All two-credit Computer Literacy courses are self-paced and competency-based. This means
YOU are responsible for learning the software, completing the necessary assignments, and
passing the quizzes/tests. It is also your responsibility to pace yourself appropriately so that you
complete the coursework and take all quizzes/tests by the end of the quarter.
There is no day-to-day monitoring of your progress. You are encouraged to come to the lab and
talk with the instructor or email the instructor about any questions or concerns. The instructor and
teaching aides are available for guidance and help, but it is ultimately up to you to learn the
material in a timely manner.
Please either turn your cell phone off or set it to vibrate before entering the lab.
Personal Computer
Your instructor is not responsible for and cannot support personal computers and other personal
electronic devices. The student is expected to know how to troubleshoot personal computer
problems and have a working computer with stable internet service and access to EvCC email and
Canvas (used by EvCC to support online, hybrid, and web-enhanced courses). It is also
recommended every student regularly back up computer files to either an external hard drive or USB
drive.
Classroom Behavior
You are expected to conduct yourself in accordance with EvCC’s Core Values of respect, integrity,
honesty, and responsibility. In short, you are expected to conduct yourself professionally, treat fellow
classmates and your instructor with respect, and foster a positive learning environment. Students
who demonstrate a disregard for working, learning, appropriate use of language, and respect for
other’s points of view may be asked to leave the class.
Academic Honesty
In a college setting, plagiarism is referred to as academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty will
not be tolerated and can result in a failing grade, either for the assignment or for the entire course.
Individual assignments must be solely your work.
