Section Requirements:

1. Because this is an online course, your work is completed online through myBPCC (Canvas). Students are expected to participate in discussion boards, submit quizzes, write paragraphs, revise and edit essays from English 99, and turn in all assignments online. (Review the “START HERE-Navigating the Course” page in the “Course Information” module for specific instructions on submitting assignments)

2. Students must review lessons and are required to watch Open Campus videos. Students will also take periodic quizzes throughout the semester in order to practice writing skills, engage in reading and to ensure that students are keeping up with course material.

3. Plagiarism and/or cheating will not be tolerated on any assignment or test. At the very least, you will receive a zero for a plagiarized paper. Please use your own thoughts and writing skills; it is the only way that you will improve your writing and your ability to think critically.

4. All written work must be typed and computer generated in Word or Google Docs. Essays and paragraphs must follow MLA guidelines for formatting: 12 point font, Times New Roman, double-spaced, etc.

5. All assignments must be turned in on time. If you turn in an assignment late, you will not receive credit . You have the option to turn in assignments early, so there is no excuse for failure to complete your work on time . No assignments, quizzes, discussion boards, or written assignments can be made up.

6. Computer and technical problems are not a valid excuse for failure to turn in assignments on time. For this online course, you have access to technical support all day, every day. Just click the question mark icon in the course navigation menu on myBPCC for immediate phone or chat support.

Students should frequently check myBPCC for notifications and updates to the course.

Students are expected to use the online resources provided by BPCC to

All students are required to take a final exam. Students who are scheduled to graduate during the current semester must inform their instructors and arrange to complete all course requirements, including the final exam, prior to the published deadline for graduates.

Section Attendance Requirements:

For this class, attendance will be taken by the following activities:

You are required to contribute or turn in an academic related assignment at least once every week (or module) through myBPCC. If you do not contribute or turn in any academic related assignment for a total of two weeks (or two modules) you with either be withdrawn from class or risk failing the course. Logging into the class does not count as attending class.

Also, please understand that the attendance policy does not allow you to miss an assignment or turn in an assignment late. You can view the Calendar, the schedule, or the weekly modules to see when all assignments are due, and you are provided ample time to complete those assignments. You can also submit your work to me early on Canvas if you are going to miss class for any reason (doctor’s appointment, etc.). I expect to have everyone’s work on the day the assignments are due.

Class attendance is regarded as an obligation as well as a privilege, and students are expected to attend all classes regularly and punctually. Failure to do so may jeopardize a student’s scholastic standing.

For all modes of delivery, attendance will be reported, with the following guidelines:

· Attendance will be checked every class meeting. Class meetings may come in a variety of forms, including face-to-face class meetings and synchronous online class meetings. Dates and times of such meetings are stated on the academic bulletin and in the class syllabus. For asynchronous online classes, attendance will be checked every week through the submission of assigned work. This assigned work will be outlined in the syllabus and in the course posted in the College’s Learning Management System (LMS).

· Any student who ceases to attend a class may be subject to a College-Initiated Withdrawal. A student who wishes to withdraw from a course or resign from the College must do so officially by dropping or withdrawing from courses through LoLA. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the Business Office for payment of any remaining balance.

· When a student has missed 15% of a course, the instructor may remove the student by assigning a College-Initiated Withdrawal. As a result of this action, the student will receive a grade of “WN” for the course if action is initiated prior to the last day to drop.

· NOTICE: More restrictive attendance requirements may apply in some specialized classes such as laboratory, activity, and clinical courses because of the nature of those courses. Neither the instructor nor the College assumes responsibility for students who are absent from these classes.

· Students who are absent due to participation in school-sanctioned activities, mandatory military exercises, mandated appearance in a court of law (jury duty or subpoena obligations), or physician documented physical or emotional condition must submit official documentation to the instructor to be eligible for assistance in meeting missed course requirements.

· Students who are receiving any type of financial aid, scholarships or tuition assistance should consult the rules governing that aid before withdrawing from a course or resigning from the College.

*Note: Financial Aid Students: Please refer to the Financial Aid Policy regarding attendance and withdrawal at the following link https://www.bpcc.edu/index.php/financialaid-policies/ .

SHOW/NO SHOW

Whether face-to-face, hybrid, or online, students must begin attendance in their classes on the first class meeting of each session. Students who attend class at the first class meeting of the session will be considered a “ Show” for that class in accordance with College policy .

Online classes with scheduled meetings OR Hybrid classes with scheduled meetings (see meeting times and days above): For students enrolled in online or hybrid courses with regularly scheduled meetings, the first class meeting will be the first virtually scheduled meeting with the instructor.

Online classes with no scheduled meetings : Students who are enrolled in online courses without regularly scheduled meetings will be required to complete an assignment within the first 24 hours of the first day of class.

Note to Online Students

Submission of work is required to be listed as a Show in LOLA for online courses. Simply logging into a course does not constitute attendance. Online students must actively participate in each academic activity that is due on the official start date of each session. Students enrolling in an online class after the start date must complete the activity within 24 hours of enrolling.

Course Specific Information for Online

To avoid being marked a NO SHOW in the course, students must complete the Comprehension Assignment.

Students who do not officially withdraw or resign and do not attend class in accordance with the published start date of the Class Session will be considered as a “No Show.” Students must begin attendance in their classes at the official start date of each Session. Students who do not attend or participate in their classes, and do not officially withdraw or resign in accordance with the published start date of the Class Session will be considered as a “No Show.” Students who are considered a “No Show” will have 100% of the tuition and fees removed from their student account and for each course, the student will be reported as “No Show” in that class.’
