FERPA STATEMENT http://www.lonestar.edu/ferpa.htm

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY Lone Star College North Harris is committed to a high standard of academic integrity among its faculty and students. In becoming a part of the North Harris College academic community, students are responsible for honesty and independent effort. Failure to uphold these standards includes, but is not limited to, the following: plagiarizing written work or projects, cheating on exams or assignments, collusion among students on an exam or project without specific permission from the instructor, or misrepresentation of credentials or prerequisites when registering for a course. Cheating includes looking at or copying from another student's exam, having another person take an exam or complete a project or assignment for you, bringing unauthorized notes, texts, or other materials into class with you for an exam, or obtaining or distributing an unauthorized copy of an exam or any part of an exam. Plagiarism means the unauthorized use of another's writings, thought or ideas, without proper documentation and includes copying material from another source without clear documentation of the source or submitting a paper, report, or project that someone else has prepared. These definitions are not exhaustive. When there is clear evidence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion, or misrepresentation, disciplinary action may be taken, including but not limited to, the student's presenting an oral defense, resubmitting the assignment in question, receiving a zero or a F on the assignment, or being withdrawn from the course or expelled.

The Texas Legislature enacted campus carry by passing Senate Bill 11, effective at LSC on August 1, 2017. Senate Bill 11, known as the “Campus Carry” law, amends Texas law to allow license holders to carry concealed handguns on college campuses.

Classroom Conduct:

The student should abide by all North Harris guidelines. Students must show respect to themselves, the

instructor, and all classmates. Students may be asked to leave is respect is not shown. Since the Lone Star

System has a zero tolerance for distracting behavior, if repeated behavioral issues arise, the instructor may drop

the student from the class. Phones are not to be used in class unless given permission by the instructor. In the

case of an emergency call, please step out of the room. All phones should be put on silent and away during class

hours.

ATTENDANCE Attendance is expected of all students at all class meetings. This is necessary because you are responsible for participating in lectures and class discussions. It is your responsibility to sign in every day. I do not allow students to sign in for days that have passed. Student get 2 free absences (There is no such thing as an excused absence). An absence is an absence for whatever real or imagined reason. You do not need to give me an excuse for a missed class. For each missed class meeting after the first two absences, the student will lose two (2) points from their overall grade. Drops: It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw from a course. The instructor holds the right to drop students from the class for excessive absences, repetitive behavior issues, or inability to complete the course with a D or higher. Being late: It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to check with me to be sure you are marked late instead of absent. Excessive lateness will count as absences at instructor’s discretion. Lateness is distracting to speakers. If you do arrive late and a speech is in progress, you need to wait in the hall until the speaker is finished. Late work: Late work will not be accepted without communication prior to the absence. The instructor holds the right to accept or deny late or make up work.

THE INSTRUCTOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHANGE ANY PART OF THIS SYLLABUS AT ANY TIME. STUDENTS WILL RECEIVE ANY CHANGES IN WRITING.
