Grade of Incomplete

Incomplete:  An "I" indicates that the course objectives are not yet fulfilled.  It is the responsibility of the student to request, if needed, the assignment of an incomplete grade.  The instructor's decision to authorize or not authorize an incomplete grade is final.  The student must have completed 75% of the class with a C or better, and must complete the rest of the work with the same instructor. Arrangement for the completion of the course must be made with the instructor prior to the assignment of the "I" grade.  This agreement must be written on a Contract for Incomplete Grade Form.  The instructor may allow up to one full semester for the student to complete missing requirements.  "I" grades not changed by the end of the following semester will automatically become failing grades (F).

Late work

Late assignments, tests, and quizzes will be graded at a possible maximum of a grade of 'C'. Assignments and work not made up or turned in will receive a grade of zero.

Cheating/Plagiarism

Plagiarism is grounds for failing an assignment or course and/or disciplinary action from CCD.  DO NOT PLAGIARIZE.  Plagiarism means copying passages directly from the text of study guide or any other source, without quotation marks and citations. Summarize or paraphrase the information.  If you paraphrase by rearranging the order of a sentence or words, then give credit for the source.  No credit will be given for plagiarized papers

Having someone else complete work for you or not performing work in the manner prescribed by the instructor is also considered cheating.
