Computer Skills Advisory:

• Enter level of computer skills expected or types of assignments requiring computer skills. (In most college courses students are expected to have a basic familiarity with computer terms and use: word processing, document manipulation, spreadsheets, email, and online services. These skills can be learned at any of the colleges or Continuing Education.)

Academic Integrity:

• This class will be conducted in accordance with the Mesa College student code of conduct and basic standards of honesty. Cheating, plagiarism, and other forms of academic dishonesty are not acceptable and will not be tolerated. Violations of standards of academic honesty will be reported to the school dean for appropriate action.

Academic Honesty Statement:

• San Diego Mesa College values honesty, academic integrity, and community. Our goal is to guide our students in maintaining academic excellence, in addition to fostering a sense of belonging to our campus. At San Diego Mesa College, students are expected to create their own work in connection with all lecture and laboratory assessments and assignments, and will refrain from copying, cheating, plagiarizing, utilizing outside resources, or any form of academic misconduct. Students will only use external sources when approved by faculty and will properly acknowledge these external sources. We understand our students wish to maintain these community standards; however, failure to follow these community standards will be considered a violation of the Student Code of Conduct under Board Policy 3100 and may result in student disciplinary action. We thank our students in advance for adhering to these community standards

Academic Accommodation:

• Students with disabilities who may need accommodations in this class are encouraged to notify the instructor and contact Disabled Students Programs And Services (DSP&S) early in the semester so that reasonable accommodations may be implemented as soon as possible. https://www.sdmesa.edu/student-services/disability-services/

• I have made every effort to make this course accessible to all students, including students with disabilities.

Student Code of Conduct:

• Students are expected to respect and obey standards of student conduct while in class and on the campus. The Student Code of Conduct, disciplinary procedure, and student due process (Policy 3100, 3100.1, and 3100.2) can be found in the college catalog and at the office of the Dean of Student Affairs. Charges of misconduct and disciplinary sanctions may be imposed upon students who violate these standards of conduct or provisions of college regulations.

Plagiarism:

• Plagiarism and cheating constitute violations of academic honesty whether perpetrated actively or passively. Disregard for written or verbal instructions on course work may, at the discretion of the instructor, represent academic cheating. All violations and suspected violations of academic honesty will result in action taken against the parties involved, and will be documented in writing with the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs/ Activities. Sanctions may include no-credit on the assignment in question, course failure, or formal charges of student misconduct. Formal charges can result in academic probation, suspension, or expulsion (Policy 3100).
