This class will be conducted in the traditional format of face-to-face lectures. When taking this class, students must:

• attend the class, as scheduled;
• actively participate in class work;
• prepare assigned reading;
• submit assigned homework;
• take and pass all the in-class quizzes and the final exam.

Make-up tests will be given only for documented emergencies, and then only at the instructor's discretion and convenience. However, if you have a good reason, please do ask for consideration.

The class will be conducted in real time, face-to-face, in the format of a traditional lecture,

Regular attendance is essential for academic success, and for that reason you are expected to attend every session. You are responsible for all that transpires in class and for all assigned work (including content, course requirements, tests and assignments) whether or not you are in attendance, even if your absence is the result of late registration, add/drop activity at the beginning of a term as permitted by College policy, or religious observance. Arriving late, leaving early or taking unreasonably long breaks counts as partial absence.

You are allowed the equivalent of one week worth of absences, including absences due to illness or other unforseen circumstance. Absence or lateness in excess of one week may lead to a failing grade for the course or removal from the class.

Disruptive behaviors, as defined by the Student Handbook, will not be tolerated. In case of violations, the college policy allows the instructor "to remove a student from a class for one class meeting, and, in those cases where the continued presence of the student poses a substantial threat or would be disruptive to the class, request that the Associate Dean of Student Services impose an interim suspension pending a disciplinary hearing."

Suffolk County Community College provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge by submitting coursework that is uniquely theirs and giving proper attribution to the work of others. Participating honestly in the SCCC academic community ensures that students can take pride in their education and their contributions to scholarship. Without academic integrity, students gain unfair advantage over others and prevent their own intellectual progress. As a student in this class, you are expected to uphold the SCCC core value of integrity and understand the Special Procedures for Academic Dishonesty (section P. starting on page 23 of the Student Code of Conduct). Specifically, when academic integrity is violated, the college policy allows the instructor to "initiate student conduct action through the Campus Associate Dean of Student Services. The faculty member may impose any of the following penalties: require that the student repeat the assignment or the exam; give the student a failing grade for the assignment or exam; or give the student a failing grade for the course. Should the student believe that s/he has been wrongly or unfairly accused of academic dishonesty, the student shall have the right to pursue the matter though the Course Grade Grievance Procedure."

In accordance with the Student Code of Conduct, as quoted above, the violations of academic integrity in this class will be handled according to the following rule. First offence during the semester will result in a failing grade for the assignment, test of exam during which this offence took place. Second offence during the semester, or any offence during the final exam will result in a failing grade for the whole course.

The Code prohibits academic misconduct, which includes any action that results in students giving or receiving unauthorized assistance in an academic exercise, or receiving credit for work that is not their own. Academic exercise includes all forms of work submitted for credit. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to, the following behaviors:

• cheating — unauthorized use of textbooks, notes, mobile devices, artificial intelligence tools or any other sources;
• plagiarism — use of another person's work or ideas without crediting them, including using material generated by artificial intelligence tools for an assignment without instructor authorization;
• complicity — giving help to, or receiving help from, someone engaged in academic misconduct;
• multiple submissions — submitting the same work for credit in more than one course without the instructor's permission;
• falsification and forgery — making up information or falsifying your own or someone else's identity.

Information about the Student Code of Conduct, plagiarism and the citation process can be found on the Academic Integrity Procedures webpage. To learn more about academic integrity, college policies and expectations in this area, and proper ways to avoid possible violations, see the Academic Integrity and Plagiarism Guide.

Generative AI: In this course, all assignments must be completed by the student. Generative AI, including ChatGPT and other related tools used for creating text, images, computer code, audio, or other media, are not permitted for use in any work in this class. Use of these generative AI tools will be considered a violation of the SCCC Student Code of Conduct.

In accordance with the New York State Education Law §224-a, your absence from class necessitated by religious observance will be deemed an excused absence.

Notification: You must notify the instructor of your intention to be absent from a particular class due to a religious observance. The notification must occur at least one week prior to the religious observance (but should be made as far in advance as possible). The notification must be sent from your college email account or otherwise in writing.

Make-up Accommodations: If missing a class due to religious observance, you will be given an opportunity to make up any missed examination, study, or work requirements within a reasonable amount of time of the religious observance. While the college will consider all religious observance or religious accommodation requests, accommodation of a request that would fundamentally alter the nature or operations of the course or program of study, or that would result in a significant number of absences within a course, or substantially impact class participation requirements, may not be reasonable or feasible. If your request involves an alternate exam date or time, you should expect that any make-up exam must be equivalent, in terms of format and difficulty, to the exams given to the other students enrolled in the course.

Please refer to the Religious Observance Policy for additional information.

CDC's Respiratory Virus Guidance (updated August 18, 2025) recommends that if you have symptoms of common respiratory viruses — such as COVID-19, flu, and RSV — that aren't better explained by another cause, you may be contagious and should stay home and away from others. You may return to normal activities when your symptoms have been improving for at least 24 hours, and — if you had a fever — when your fever has been gone without use of fever-reducing medication for at least 24 hours. After returning to normal activities, you should continue to take added precaution using prevention strategies such as

• wearing a well-fitting mask for the next 5 days,
• enhancing hygiene practices,
• keeping a distance from others, and/or
• testing when you will be around other people indoors.

If you never had symptoms but tested positive for a respiratory virus, you may be contagious and should take the same added precautions for the next 5 days when you will be around other people indoors. If you develop a fever or start to feel worse after you have gone back to normal activities, the CDC recommends that you follow again the stay-home precaution outlined above before returning to normal activities.
