If you have any questions or concerns throughout the semester, please feel free to email me at bhanniff@cerritos.edu. You can directly email me or message me via the Canvas Inbox. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Please remember to include your name and the class section you are in. We'll be engaging in many discussions with our peers throughout the semester. We may sometimes disagree, but please always remember to be respectful during these discussions.
Cerritos College prohibits: “Unauthorized preparation, giving, selling, transfer, distribution, or publication, for any commercial purpose, of any contemporaneous recording of an academic presentation in a classroom or equivalent site of instruction, including but not limited to handwritten or typewritten class notes, except as permitted by any Board policy or administrative procedure. Unauthorized use of audio, video or unauthorized use of audio, video or other listening, recording or transmitting device in any classroom, service area or District activity without prior consent of the instructor, service area manager, or activity advisor except as necessary for reasonable accommodation.” (BP 5500 STANDARDS OF STUDENT CONDUCT 2 References: 3 Education Code, Sections 66300, 66301, 67386, 76033, and 76034; 4 ACCJC Accreditation Standards I.C.8 and 10 (formerly II.A.7.b).
Here is the campus attendance policy: "It is the responsibility of the students to attend classes regularly and apply themselves to the college studies in which they are enrolled. When students have been absent due to illness, they should report to their instructor to explain the absence. Students not in attendance or late for the first class meeting are subject to drop. Students who are absent in excess of 10% of the total class hours are subject to drop. Students who are absent during the course add period are subject to drop."
Be sure to read the College's description of academic dishonesty and plagiarism policy statement in your course catalog; plagiarism is literal thievery of another's work or ideas. This includes submitting student work that you are not the author of and the use of AI. Be extremely careful not to "borrow" from the works of others without appropriate citations. Always use quotations and page numbers to give credit to the ideas and writings of others.
You may be subject to a drop if you are inactive for two consecutive weeks. I advise that you be mindful of the drop dates, as you will receive an F or FW if you are inactive after the withdrawal date.
Last day to drop without a W is 9/8/24
Last day to drop with a W is 11/22/24
Late work will impact your speeches, so there must be a compelling reason for outlines to be late.
