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 email the instructor about any
questions or concerns.

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.

disabilities. Students should notify the Director of the Center for Disability Services and their instructors of
