FINANCIAL AID STATEMENT Students who are receiving any form of financial aid should check with the Financial Aid Office prior to withdrawing from classes. Withdrawals may affect your eligibility to receive further aid and could cause you to be in a position of repayment for the current semester. Students who fail to attend or participate after the drop date are also subject to this policy. DROP PROCEDURE/ATTENDANCE Regular online attendance is required. Students should consult with the instructor when an absence occurs. If you are unable to complete the course or courses for which you have registered, it is your responsibility to withdraw formally from the course. You need to speak with and obtain the signature of the course instructor to drop the course. If the instructor is not available, a counselor, advisor, or dean may sign the drop form. Failure to drop will result in a performance grade, usually a grade of "F." THE LAST DAY TO DROP BY 7 P.M. IS NOV 13, 2008. Students sometimes drop courses when help is available that would enable them to continue. I hope you will discuss your plans with me if you do feel the need to withdraw. Online Attendance It is your responsibility to take an active role in each class. Login to eCampus, participate in weekly online discussion, and adhere to deadlines posted on the course calendar and course outline attached to syllabus. Email your instructor weekly. STOP BEFORE YOU DROP For students who enrolled in college level courses for the first time in the fall of 2007, Texas Education Code 51.907 limits the number of courses a student may drop. You may drop no more than six (6) courses during your entire undergraduate career, unless the drop qualifies as an exception. Your campus counseling/advising center will give you more information on the allowable exceptions. Remember that once you have accumulated six non-exempt drops, you cannot drop any other courses with a “W”. Therefore, please exercise caution when dropping courses in any Texas public institution of higher learning, including all seven of the Dallas County Community Colleges. For more information, you may access: https://www1.dcccd.edu/coursedrops..

INCOMPLETE GRADE STATEMENT Incomplete grades are given only in case of extreme emergency and at least 50% of the course requirements must have been completed. Request for an incomplete grade must be justified through a written statement and presented before the drop date to your instructor who will decide if your request can be approved. CONTINUING EDUCATION STUDENTS MUST COMPLETE ALL PROJECTS AND TESTS IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A CEU AWARD. Note: There will be three (3) written tests, including the comprehensive final or MCAS exam.. The textbook, lab exercises and the chapter review material are possible sources for tests. Because we are preparing students to pass an industry recognized standard with the certification, the ability to produce “hands-on” work quickly and efficiently is critical. There will be a “hands-on” production exam (Lab Test) and Skills Assessment Manager exam (SAM) at the completion of each Chapter. All students will take this standardized exam at the same time according to the schedule set forth in this syllabus. There will be benchmarks to aid you in completing assignments in a timely manner. Your instructor is providing a suggested completion date for submission of all labs assignments, and test dates. In the event of unforeseen circumstances, some assignments may change. The student will be notified via email and posted announcements. In order to insure that you have the correct assignments and due dates, it is your responsibility to consult with your instructor if you are unable to meet deadlines posted on the course calendar.
Grading Scale for ITSC 2431 Lab Exercises The following applies to the lab assignments that the student turns in for grading. A = 0 - 5 errors B = 6 - 10 errors C = 11- 15 errors D = 16 - 20 errors F = over 20 errors The following types of errors will be checked. • •
Were instructions completed? Are the spelling, margins, spacing, punctuation, bolding, underline, inserting, moving, printing, clip art, templates, layouts, and animation done correctly?
Preparing for Examinations View PowerPoint lectures posted on eCampus, read chapters, and complete study guides posted on eCampus. At least 90% of the questions are taken directly from the reading material. Review the PowerPoint portion of the Quick Reference Summary available at www.scsite.com/off2007. A Quick Reference Summary can also be found in the back of your textbook, pages QR 1-QR 6. Extra Credit You may complete the designated Cases and Places exercise at the end of each project for extra credit or to replace any one of the exercises at the end of each project. Make-Up Policy Major tests will be announced in advance, posted on course calendar and course outline. If you miss a major exam, ten points will be deducted from the test score unless you have prior approval from the instructor. OTHER PROCEDURES No assignments will be accepted more than two weeks late, and will be penalized. Plan to spend approximately four hours each week working on laboratory assignments. Save each project with the Project number, In the Lab number, or Cases and Places number as part of the file name (or shown in the textbook- for example: Lab 1-1 Costume Ball Announcement). Disorganized assignments or individually submitted assignments are not acceptable and will receive a grade of zero. All assignments must be placed in a folder that is zipped or compressed by the project number and dropped in the digital drop box.

All lab work must be completed by Thursday, Dec 11, 2008at 9 p.m. when the 4 th floor Computer Center closes for the semester, or at an earlier time announced by your instructor. There is no specific lab time assigned for this class. You may select a time that is convenient for your schedule. Instructors will be on duty at various times during the day and night. There will be limited assistance provided by lab personnel within the College Computer 4th floor labs. On the average, lab personnel may spend no more than 3-5 minutes per student at any given time. WE DO NOT PROVIDE TUTORING SERVICES IN THE 4TH FLOOR COMPUTER CENTER. Other guidelines and procedures concerning the use of the computer facilities and services will be provided in additional handouts. CLASSROOM RULES AND EXPECTATIONS All students are required to practice courteous, respectful, cooperative behavior at all times, as this would be the norm in any higher education or work environment. To avoid distractions in the classroom, students will: Arrive on time and stay until class is dismissed; Be prepared and stay on task; Leave all food, drink, candy and gum outside the classroom; Listen courteously to one speaker at a time, with no interruptions and no side conversations; Generally behave as mature adults would in the workplace. CELL PHONE In order not to interrupt the class session, students are asked to place all cell phones and pagers on vibrate prior to the beginning of the class. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES Students are expected to follow established procedures of the appropriate division in handling academic issues, such as grade appeals. El Centro College requires that other complaints and disputes (that cannot be resolved by the persons directly involved) be referred initially to the Ombudsman Office for informal, confidential resolution. Additional grievance procedures and the Student Code of conduct are outlined in the El Centro College Catalog, available in hard copy in advisement or on the web at www.elcentrocollege.edu. RELIGIOUS HOLY DAYS STATEMENT A student who is absent from classes for the observance of a religious holy day shall be allowed to take an examination or complete an assignment scheduled for that day within a reasonable time after the absence if, not later than the fifteenth day after the first day of the semester, the student notified the instructor of each class scheduled on the date that the student would be absent for a religious holy day. A “religious holy day” means a holy day observed by a religion whose places of worship are exempt from property taxation under Section 11.20, Tax Code. The notice shall be in writing and shall be delivered by the student personally to the instructor, with receipt acknowledged and dated by the instructor or by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the instructor. A student who is excused under this section may not be penalized for the absence, but the instructor may appropriately respond if the student fails to satisfactorily complete the assignment or examination.
CHILDREN ON CAMPUS El Centro College strives to protect an environment most conducive to teaching and learning for all enrolled students. Minor children may not be brought to classrooms, labs, testing areas or study areas of the college. This practice is disruptive to the learning process. Children who are taking part in organized scheduled activities, or who are enrolled in specific classes, are welcomed. For reasons of security and child welfare, the college will not permit unattended children to be left anywhere on the premises. Students/Parents who have problems with childcare should visit the advisement/counseling center or the Adult Resource Center to receive referrals to childcare services in the area. COMPUTER USE POLICY This class will require you to utilize campus computers. Please see the computer use policy for the district under the student code of conduct at http://www1.dcccd.edu/cat0406/ss/computer.cfm SOFTWARE COPYING POLICY Copying computer software without the expressed written permission of the copyright holder may be unlawful and subject to civil and criminal penalties. To protect you, the college and the copyright holder, no software used to complete the lab exercises may be copied by students. DISABILITY ACCOMODATIONS Any student who may need accommodations due to a disability should contact the Disability Services Office, Room A110, phone number (214) 860-2411. Why Should You Seek Certification? The Microsoft Certified Applications Specialist Program provides an industry-recognized standard for measuring an individual's mastery of Office applications. By passing one or more Microsoft Certified Applications Specialist Program certification exams, you demonstrate your proficiency in a given Office application to employers, and this helps you to gain a competitive edge in the job marketplace. The Microsoft Certified Applications Specialist Program gives you the credentials you need to prove that you know how to use Microsoft Office applications efficiently and productively. Becoming a Microsoft Certified Applications Specialist proves to the world that you have the comprehensive skills necessary to drive a wide range of tasks to completion. And to do it with the kind of efficiency those businesses need and employers notice. You know you have talent. Now you can prove it! Lecture, Laboratory, and Examination Schedule The lecture, laboratory, and examination schedule is shown on the next page and on the eCampus calendar. You are expected to read each assigned project prior to the lecture. Online lectures will be short, to the point, and will discuss the highlights of the Project for that week. Schedule time to work on your Laboratory assignments in order to meet calendar deadlines. This is not a self-paced course. COURSE OUTLINE
These dates may vary slightly, however, this outline provides you with target dates so that you can plan your semester to meet assignment deadlines. A more detailed assignment sheet follows. The instructor may alter this course outline at any time due to time constraints, loss of school days, or unforeseen problems with computer equipment, labs, etc.

El Centro College Scans Statement What Are Scans Skills? These are the skills that employers need the most from their workers. SCANS skills are the predictors in the workplace.
Who Defined these Skills? In 1989, the U.S. Departments of Labor and Education jointly surveyed U.S. employers to find out the most important skills and competencies needed by workers. The results of the survey identified SCANS (Secretary’s Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills). ECC Students and SCANS El Centro College is committed to the preparation of our students for success in the workplace.
All El Centro College courses provide learning outcomes which result in the mastery of SCANS skills. Although each course will not include every SCANS skill, each course syllabus will identify the specific SCANS skills and competencies taught in that course. Throughout a formal program of study (Certificate, Degree or Transfer Program) a student will have the opportunity to master all SCANS skills and competencies.
