Valencia Student Core Competencies: Ö Think: clearly, critically and creatively. Ö Value: make reasoned value judgment and responsible commitments. Ö Communicate: with different audiences and using varied means. Ö Act: purposefully, reflectively and responsibly.

Assessment Method and Evaluation Scale: The lecture exams, quizzes and home-works will consist ‘Check Your Understanding’ type questions that will be turned-in according to the schedule outlined in the course calendar. In-person assessment:

x There are two in-person cumulative exams (midterm and final) contributing 20% of the class grade. These will be conducted in at the Valencia College testing center and will have 100 multiple-choice questions.

Online assessment:

x There are three online lecture quizzes contributing 15% of the class grade. It is the students’ responsibility to complete the online assessments before the due date and time as per the course calendar. Under no-circumstances grace time will be provided. Online tests are timed tests.

x There are four online disease-quizzes based on the disease presentation contributing to 15% of the class grade. x The online homework component to this class is mandatory and contributes to 5% of the class grade. The online homework

will have unlimited attempts until the due date. x The lab reports will require online submission. These reports will include the pictures of your lab results. Students must

include all the supportive evidence of conducting a lab session to acquire a complete credit. Lab reports along with the lab quizzes contribute 20% of the class grade.

Lab assessment: x The lab quizzes are given at the beginning of the lab, during the first 10 minutes. There are two parts to the lab quiz: (i) pre-

part will assess knowledge of lab to be conducted on the same day and (ii) post-part will examine your understanding of the material covered within the lab and lecture.

x The lab midterm and final will contain a station-setup with multiple short-answer questions, fill in the blanks, identification and drawing. These will be 20% of the class grade.

Class presentations: x Class disease presentations are the mandatory part of your microbiology course design. All the enrolled students are

required to participate in the group work and the class presentation. These presentations will contribute to the class grade and if missed they cannot be redone.

Grade will be calculated as follows: 2 in-person lecture exams 20% 3 lecture quizzes 15% 4 disease-quizzes 15% Disease presentations 5% Lecture homework 5% Lab quizzes and lab report work 20% 2 laboratory exams 20% A: 90-100% B: 80-89% C: 70-79% D: 60-69% F: 0-59% Under no circumstances your test scores, total points, or final grades be discussed on the telephone or over e-mail. FERPA rights to privacy prevent the divulging of scores or related materials by these means. Scores will only be given face-to-face with student or through student ATLAS account.

Course Policies: No Show Policy Class attendance is required for online lectures and in-person labs. The instructor will withdraw students who are not actively participating in an online class and/or do not submit the required attendance activity or assignment by the scheduled due date in week one as a "no show". If you are withdrawn as a “no show,” you will be financially responsible for the class, and a final grade of “W” will appear on your transcript for the course. Attendance Policy The college believes that regular attendance and participation are significant factors to promote success. MCB 2010C is a mixed mode class. The lecture portion is online while the labs are conducted in-person. Students are expected to attend all the online lecture section and assessments as per the course design in this course. Students are required to attend all of the in-person lab sessions. Assessments cannot be re-scheduled. Just logging into Canvas space is not counted as your class attendance. Your online discussion posts every week will be recording your attendance for online lecture sessions. The Professor will not drop any student at any time for any reason. It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw himself or herself from the class prior to the withdraw deadline. Withdrawal Policy Per Valencia policy a student who withdraws from class before the established deadline for a particular term will receive a grade of “W. A student is not permitted to withdraw after the withdrawal deadline. Any student who withdraws or is withdrawn from a class during the third or subsequent attempt in the same course will be assigned a grade of ‘F’. After the withdrawal deadline, the faculty will not withdraw a student and the student will receive the grade earned at the end of the course. Any student who withdraws or is withdrawn from a class during a third or subsequent attempt in the same course will be assigned a grade of “F.” If you do not intend to complete the course, you must withdraw yourself prior to the withdrawal date. Students are advised to consult with an advisor before withdrawing from the course, as there may be financial implications to the students. In order to academically maintain financial aid, students must meet all of the following requirements: Complete 67% of all classes attempted, and Maintain a Valencia GPA of 2.0 or higher, and Maintain an overall GPA of 2.0 or higher, and Complete degree within the 150% time frame. College Student Conduct Policy Valencia is dedicated not only to the advancement of knowledge and learning but also to the development of responsible personal and social conduct. As a registered student, you assume the responsibility for conducting yourself in a manner that contributes positively to Valencia’s learning community and that does not impair, interfere with, or obstruct the orderly conduct, processes, and functions of the college as described in the Student Code of Conduct. Academic Honesty All forms of academic dishonesty are prohibited at Valencia College. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, acts or attempted acts of plagiarism, cheating, furnishing false information, forgery, alteration or misuse of documents, misconduct during a testing situation, facilitating academic dishonesty, and misuse of identification with intent to defraud or deceive. All work submitted by students is expected to be the result of the students' individual thoughts, research, and self-expression. Whenever a student uses ideas, wording, or organization from another source, the source shall be appropriately acknowledged. If a student is caught submitting plagiarized work a first offense will result in a zero score on the assignment, a second offense will result in a class grade of F along with a referral to the Dean of Science and the Dean of Students.

Study Tips:

“LEARNING” IS AN ACTION VERB!! Most students need to do more than just sit through lectures and reread their notes. Spend 1-2

hour blocks of time EVERY DAY actively writing or discussing concepts to make them a part of your memory. Use the words you

learn often, they will sink in better-.

Here are some study and classroom management tips that have assisted former students:

- Do not miss class. The introduction to each lecture explains the purpose of the entire lecture. Students who follow this rule won’t

miss important information.

- REWRITE YOUR NOTES soon after the lecture.

- Create flash cards with questions you make up from the lecture and lab with answers on the back.

- Make lists of confusing topics from your studying and ask questions (as many as you can!). Talking to your professor helps you as

well your professor to refocus on the topic again.

- Take advantage of the professor’s office hours.

- JOIN A STUDY GROUP and predict what questions the professor could ask on the test.

- Get the telephone number of one or more buddies in case you are absent from a class.

LETTER FROM THE DEAN

Expectations of a Valencia College Science Student

Welcome to the Science Division of Valencia College’s West Campus; we are enthused to have this opportunity to assist you in achieving your educational goals. Higher education is a privilege and an opportunity; it is your responsibility to realize that you are in control of those behaviors and actions that can enable success in this course.

From your professors, you can expect the following:

1. They will be prompt, courteous and respectful. 2. They will provide a professional learning environment throughout the entire scheduled instructional period. 3. They will provide an up-to-date syllabus; when changes need to be made, they will announce changes in a manner that is

conveyed to all students in their class. 4. They will provide you with a course that is of necessary rigor to prepare you for the career you have chosen; because the

class you are taking transfers to a four year college or university, it will be taught with the same academic expectations. The bonus of starting your education at Valencia, when compared to attending a four year college, is you will be able to get more personal attention with small class sizes and you will be able to save money; the classes are not easier.

5. They will offer time outside of class to discuss your questions. 6. They will be available to discuss your class concerns in private, outside of class time; you should try to resolve your class

concerns with your professor before you try to voice your concerns with administrators. 7. They will respond to emails within 2 business days. 8. They will expect from you what they have expected from the many students who passed their classes in the past.

In return, this is what your professor will expect from you:

1. You will be prompt, courteous and respectful. Prompt means you come to class on time, ready to work, with all assignments completed before you enter class or lab. It means that you have studied, that all conversations, texting and diversions come to a stop and that you are ready to contribute to a positive learning environment from the beginning of the class or lab. Courtesy means you are polite in your attitude and behavior towards your professor and classmates. Respectfulness means that you regard everyone’s classroom experience as valuable to them, that you accept your professor’s expertise and experience to create relevant course objectives and that you treat college and personal property with care.

2. You will read your syllabus; your syllabus is a contract between your professor and you. Be aware of deadlines to complete assignments on time and know your professor’s attendance policy. You will need to attend class for the full length of time allotted to your science class and lab.

3. You will be aware of Valencia College policies and procedures found in the college catalog; ignorance of policies and procedures doesn’t mean they don’t apply.

4. You will be serious about learning; it is your responsibility to be an active participant in your own learning. You will need to devote sufficient time to learn the material presented by your professor; for most students, this means you will need to spend at least two hours studying for every hour of instruction. Learning is an action verb; you will need to do more than sit through class and reread your notes to be successful. To succeed in higher level classes, you must retain the information, concepts and skills you will learn; this can only happen if you work at learning to make the course content a part of your long term memory. Do not cram!!

5. You will be encouraged to produce your own study guides. Most college professors do not provide study guides, but they can give you tips that will help you produce your own study guides to gain a better understanding of the course content.

6. You will be expected to participate fully in classroom activities. The work you produce must be your own; cheating in any form is not tolerated and your professor will have specific consequences, in their syllabus, which will be enforced should cheating occur.

MCB 2010 C

7. You will be expected to contribute to a positive learning environment. Avoid classmates who speak negatively, or who have a negative outlook, about your class or your professor. Instead, get to know your professor during office hours; you will learn much more with a positive attitude.

8. You will be held to a high standard of maturity and responsibility. Disruptive behaviors will not be tolerated in the classroom or lab. First time disruptions will be handled by your professor and may include a request that you leave the class or lab. Very serious or repeated disruptions will be reported, to the Dean of Science and the Dean of Students, with specific consequences that can include your permanent removal from the class. Disruptions include:

- Being noisy when arriving late to class or leaving early. - Carrying on private conversations while the professor is talking. - Disrespectful language, tone and mannerisms. - Sleeping or attempting to sleep in class. - Repeatedly asking unnecessary or irrelevant questions.

My wish is that you get the best learning value from the science classes that you are taking. With everyone abiding by the expectations in this letter, your science classes at Valencia should be the next step in achieving your academic dreams.

Dr. Robert Gessner West Campus Dean of Science Valencia College
