University educations
are where self-discipline and readiness
for professional success are refined and developed. As a student
in a university course you will be expected to exercise
that self-discipline, keep up, be
prepared, be on-time with assignments,
and you will often be expected to do original work. You will be expected to
attend class and to turn in assigned work on time. Late work will not be accepted. Failure to do so demonstrates a lack
of readiness
to handle independent work and may call for individual
counseling, loss of course points,
or failure.

File security
and disks
|
You are responsible
for the security of your files.
You should have multiple copies on multiple
sources
(CD, USB Jump Drives, TCN server,
ICS server) at all times. Given a
faulty CD, disk, or other media, the instructor will assist
you in attempting to recover lost
files. However, ultimately you are
responsible for maintaining
your digital data. Loss of data,
files, or other associated items needed for assignments
will require that you recreate your work, with no exceptions.

Student Conduct
and Policies
|
· No
swearing, or derogatory comments about, or towards,
any member of the class will be
tolerated in any class
period.
· No
food or drinks of any kind will be allowed in any lab sessions.
· Students
are expected to arrive on time for all class
and lab sessions.
· Standards
set by Purdue University
as outlined in the Student
Handbook and the University Regulations (1996-1997) will be observed in this course. Students are expected to
be present at each and every meeting
of the class. In the event that a
student must miss a class period,
they must inform the supervising
instructor of the course of their absence
and NOT a teaching assistant (TA). Should the student not be able to reach the instructor they are to leave a message for him/her at the CGT office with the
secretary. Should circumstances not allow this, the student may contact the Dean of Students Office and explain their
emergency. The Dean's office will then pass
the word along to each of the student's professors
for them. Upon your return to Purdue,
contact the supervising instructor as
soon as possible in order to make
arrangements for work, handouts,
quizzes, or tests that they may have missed. The supervising instructor has
the final word on what work, etc. students may be allowed to make up.
Students have the right to appeal
to the university any decision made
by their supervising instructor.
· Assignments
are due at the beginning of the designated
lab period. Late assignments will
not be accepted unless prior arrangements
have been made with the Instructor
and because of extreme circumstances.
(Not coming to lab, or forgetting, does
not rate as an extreme circumstance.)
· No
student will be allowed to make up any written exam, lab practical, exam, or quiz unless
they have an official or medical excuse.
· Standards
set by Purdue University
as outlined in the Student
Handbook and the University Regulations (1996-1997) will be observed in this course. Any student found
participating
in cheating, plagiarism, copying material from another person's disk, using illegal cribs
or other materials during a written examination, lying to course instructors and lab assistants
about his or her own work, stealing
tests, quizzes,
or answer keys, and any such activities will be considered in conflict with the printed
academic
honesty guidelines as set
out by Purdue University and the
School of Technology. In such cases the matter will be reported to the Office of
the Dean and the appropriate Purdue
University officers for
consideration and possible disciplinary
action.
· Students
who have special needs, i.e. hearing or visually challenged,
etc., or in need of tutoring,
etc., may contact the Dean of
Students Office located in Schleman Hall, Room 207, 494-1747 for further assistance.
· Course-related
presentations
and materials are owned by the presenter.
Students may take written notes or make other recordings
for educational purposes, but specific written permission to sell the
notes or recordings must be obtained
from the presenter in advance of the presentation. Failure to secure permission is a
violation of class conduct regulations.
· Electronic
devices (cell phones, pagers, PDA’s, etc.) are not allowed in
the room during any test,
exam, or quiz - no exceptions!
|

Laptops, pagers and
cell phones
|
It is permissible to bring
a laptop (notebook, palmtop) computer to class
for the purpose of taking notes.
However, it must be used QUIETLY ... that is, no clicking,
clacking,
or sound effects. If your laptop becomes
a distraction to others in the class, you will be asked
to turn it off and to NOT bring it
back. Similarly, we will not
tolerate beeping, chirping, ringing (or any other sound) from a pager or cell phone
in class. If you must use your
cell phone for any reason, you
MUST leave the room.
