Only courses with passing grades count toward graduation. Other colleges transfer in only courses with passing grades. Many financial aid sources, including most employers, require passing grades. Additionally, earning less than a 2.0 in a class results in not being able to participate in the next level of courses in a discipline whichrequires this course as a prerequisite. If you attempt to register for the next course sequence and have not pass the prerequisite course, you will be dropped from that course.ASSOCIATE DEGREE OUTCOMESThe 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: CIS 122.01 Fall 20061JCC'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.The highest priority skills include, among others:1. Learn Access: maintain a database, query a database, and create forms and reports (ADO 2). 2. Create more advanced queries and custom forms, customize reports and integrate with other programs, and use the Web and hyperlink fields (ADO 4).3. Use replication, query wizards, and action queries, automate tasks with Macros, and create custom toolbars and menus, and write Visual Basic code for applications (ADO 7).GRADING PROCEDUREThe work for this course includes four tests, weekly SAM quizzes (SAM 2003—Skills Assessment Manager--software), class exercises (chapter projects), and homework assignments (In the Lab assignments—please see schedule at the end of this syllabus). In addition, there is a final course project. Points will be deducted for failure to follow instructions, spelling and procedural errors, incorrectanswers, and incomplete work. You should double-check your work before submitting as you will not be allowed to resubmit your work for a higher grade. Your grade will be determined by the following criteria:Introduction e-mail to your instructor (5 points)4 Tests9 Class exercises (10 points each)3 Web and Integration feature class exercises (5 points each)9 Homework Assignments (20 points each)(Homework assignments and class exercises will be accepted up to one week after thedue-date – any work submitted after this grace period will not be accepted.)12 weekly SAM quizzes (points vary each week)Final project (100 points)Final project idea (5 points)GRADING SCALE (based on accumulated points/percentages): 94 - 100% 4.0 64 - 69% 1.5 88 - 93% 3.5 58 – 63% 1.0 82 - 87% 3.0 52 – 57% 0.5 76 - 81% 2.5 below 52% 0.0 70 - 75% 2.0CLASS EXERCISESThe class exercises for this course are the chapters for each project.

See the schedule at the end of this syllabus. You should double-check your work before submitting it andcompare your work with the illustrations in the textbook. Your work will be graded on effort, accuracy, and completeness. You will not be allowed to resubmit your work for a higher grade. Since you will be using the same database for this entire semester, you will need to make any corrections I indicate as this could affect future assignments. You should also occasionally back-up your database to an alternative area/medium.TESTSThere are four tests for this course. They will be SAM (Skill Assessment Manager) exams. The first test is after the completion of Project 3, the second test is after the completion of Project 6, and the third test is after Project 9. The last (final) test covers all possible tasks from the textbook. The tests are open book. However, they do have a time limit.ATTENDANCE/PARTICIPATION POLICYYour participation and attendance are expected in each class session.
