ASSOCIATE DEGREE OUTCOMES The Jackson Community College Board of Trustees has developed a list of essential skills which all of its associate degree graduates will enhance during their college experience. 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. In this course, the skills include, among others:1) Critical thinking (ADO 7)CIS 101 Page 2 Winter 2008INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY GRADING PROCEDUREYou can figure your grade at any point by taking the total amount of points that you haveearned and dividing this number by the total amount of points possible at that point.

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to be successful, “Q”—the student has not participated/attended and the instructor believes they have unofficially withdrawn, and “V”—the instructor “verifies” that the student is participating/attending and doing acceptable work.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.CIS 101 Page 3 Winter 2008INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY HOMEWORK/COMPUTER ASSIGNMENTSEach week you will receive assignments for both the lecture and lab portions of this course.

Any work handed in after the one week grace period will not be accepted.TESTSLecture tests for this class may be given on-line or as written tests, details regarding each exam will be posted inside the course Web site. If you are unable to take a test within the given time frame, you must make arrangements to take the exam at another time before it is reviewed. Make-up exams taken after the test date tend to be more difficult than the original test.PROJECT SUCCESS DAYOn Tuesday October 7th, classes will not be held at JCC.
