The Board has said: JCC's goal is to prepare students to live productive and meaningful lives. Implicit in this goal are efforts to prepare students to: (a) live and work in the twenty-first century, (b) be employed in situations which will require retraining several times during a productive life, and (c) function in a rapidly changing informational society (EDU1, ADO1A, ADO1B ADO4,ADO7).The highest priority skills include, among others:1) The ability to communicate clearly, concisely, and intelligibly, using oral skills2) Use critical thinking and problem solving skills3) Use computers and other technologies appropriate to the program of studyGRADING PROCEDURELecture:3 chapter tests @ 100 points each or 300 points11 Quizzes @ 20 points each or 220 points3 article reviews @ 25 each or 75 points595 points CIS101/01 Page 2 of 9 Winter 2007INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CIS101/01 WINTER 2007Lab:15 homework projects @ 20 each 300 points2 tests (Word and Excel) 50 points1 PowerPoint presentation 50 points15 in-class exercises @ 10 each 150 points550 pointsGRADING SCALEPercentage Grade94-100 4.088-93 3.582-87 3.076-81 2.570-75 2.064-69 1.558-63 1.052-57 0.5Below 52 0.0PARTICIPATION and ATTENDANCE POLICYYour participation and attendance are expected in each class session. Your success will depend greatly on the time spent completing assignments and projects as well as practicing on the computer. Attendance will be taken during each class and reported periodically to the Registrar’s Office. Definitions include: “H”—the student is not doing acceptable work and needs “help” to be successful, “Q”—the student has not participated/attended and the instructor believes they have unofficially withdrawn, and “V”—the instructor “verifies” that the student is participating/attending and doing acceptable work. It is ultimately the responsibility of the student to withdraw from thecourse. You should also contact your instructor when considering a withdrawal. Winter 2007 reporting dates are 01/17/07, 02/07/07, and 03/18/07.HOMEWORK/COMPUTER ASSIGNMENTSEach week you will receive assignments for both the lecture and lab portions of this course(or see attached lecture and lab schedules). I will post these assignments our course Web site. Assignments should be completed using techniques covered to date. Late assignments will be accepted up to one week after the due date without a penalty. Any work handed in after the one weeks grace period will not be accepted. “LAB” CLASS EXERCISESWhen we work through chapter exercises together in “Lab” you will be given 10 points for your effort and completeness. Each class exercise is due at the end of the class period in which the material was covered. If you miss a class, the class exercise will be due the following class meeting.
