ATTENDANCE
The Faculty request that students view this program as they would a place of employment in regards to attendance and punctuality. As this program is preparing you for a professional career, students are expected to demonstrate professionalism in their studies. Students are expected to make every attempt to attend all classes.
If a student is going to be absent from class, the student should provide the professor an e-mail or voice mail
message to indicate the absence and the reason for the absence. When absent from class, it is the student’s
responsibility to obtain class information before the next scheduled class.
STUDENT CONDUCT
Students are expected to attend class promptly, at both the beginning of class and following breaks. Students
arriving late are disruptive to the classroom environment. Students are also asked to avoid talking amongst
themselves during the classroom lecture as this is inappropriate and disruptive to the professor and fellow
classmates.
Group/team work assignments are structured to reflect simulated business settings. Therefore, the ability to work in a respectful, responsible, co-operative manner is required. Students are expected to meet group timelines, use clear communication strategies, work toward group consensus and shared responsibility. All participants are expected to work in a fair and equitable manner to achieve project completion.
Code of conduct. The campus environment should promote human dignity, mutual respect, justice, security of the person, and ethical behaviour. It is the policy of Algonquin College that every member of the college community can expect a work/learning environment free from harassment, discrimination, and violence. All employees and students of the College are responsible for maintaining and promoting an environment that is free of discrimination and harassment and for reporting any incident/s that they believe to be a breach of this policy.
Harassment, discrimination, and violence will not be tolerated. Any form of harassment (sexual, racial, gender, or disability related), discrimination (direct or indirect), or violence, whether towards a professor or amongst students, will not be tolerated on the college premises. Action taken will start with a formal warning and proceed to the full disciplinary actions as outlined in Algonquin College policy: Refer to College Directives SA07 and HR22.
STUDENT ACADEMIC RESPONSIBILITIES
Students are responsible for the following:
· Attending classes regularly;
· Maintaining a folder of all work you do for each of your courses;
· Knowing the due dates for assignments and meeting these dates;
· Handing in assignments that are your own work;
· Checking your college e-mail account daily; and
· Monitoring your Brightspace course sites.
EVALUATION AND PROMOTION
Students are expected to hand in all assignments on the due date as directed by their professor. Extensions for assignments for legitimate reasons may be granted in cases such as illness or other exceptional circumstances. In such situations, the student must complete the form titled Request for Special Accommodations and submit it to the course professor prior to the due date, and a negotiated date will be agreed to and recorded. A deduction of 10% per day may apply. In the case of extended illness, a doctor’s certificate may be requested to help accommodate the situation.
Students who are to be absent on the day of a test, quiz, exam, or assessment must notify the office or the course professor prior to the scheduled evaluation due date. If the absence is deemed to be for valid reasons, the student is required to make up the test, quiz, exam, or assessment by completing the Request for Special Accommodations form where a negotiated time with the professor will be agreed to and recorded. Any student who does not inform the professor prior to such an event may achieve a mark of zero. The College expects a student to notify the professor, in a timely manner, before the evaluation, but also recognizes that sometimes a student is unable to notify the professor due to exceptional circumstances, where notification is then expected immediately after the evaluation is missed, normally within three (3) days. See College policy.
USE OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES
In order to ensure a productive and positive teaching and learning environment for all students, it is important that the learning environment is free of unnecessary interruptions or distractions that may inhibit student learning. To ensure the learning environment is most conducive to student learning, the use of mobile computing devices in the classroom and evaluation sessions is ultimately at the discretion of the professor.
While in class or doing an evaluation session, students can make arrangements to be contacted in case of a personal emergency, using the form found in Appendix 1.
Classroom
Generally, the use of mobile computing devices in the classroom is limited to note taking, accessing course materials, and performing a variety of independent or collaborative exercises assigned by the professor. Unless approved by the professor before the class starts, the use of mobile computing devices for personal surfing of the web, downloading of non-course related material, use of messaging software, or gaming is not to take place.
Regardless of the activity being performed on a mobile computing device, a student who is asked by the professor to close the lid of his/her laptop, turn off the monitor or other electronic device, or simply put the device away must comply with the professor immediately.
Audio and video recordings of classroom lectures or activities must be approved by the classroom professor or instructor prior to the beginning of the scheduled session. Recordings may only be used for individual study of materials presented during class and may not be published or distributed without the consent of the professor or instructor. Videos that contain images of other students may not be published or distributed without the consent of all students depicted in the video. Intentional misuse of mobile computing devices or recordings, or intentional misrepresentation when requesting the use of a device for recording, shall constitute a violation of this policy.
Disciplinary actions will be taken against students making unauthorized use of mobile computing devices in class under policy AA 18 Academic Discipline.
Evaluation Session
The use of any mobile computing device during an evaluation session is not permitted unless the professor has approved its use.
A student found to be using any mobile computing device during a test or examination without prior approval by the professor will be charged with an act of academic dishonesty under the policy AA 18 Academic Discipline.
