Your success in this class is important to me.  I will make myself available to you anytime you feel the need. A schedule of my classes and office hours will be posted on my office door.  If there are any special needs you have, please let me know.

Be advised that absenteeism can cause you to fail a course even though you are passing otherwise.  I am required to turn in an attendance roster along with your grade.  Refer to your student handbook for a further explanation of this policy if you like.  Also, excessive tardiness can be detrimental.  I expect every student to be sitting in place at the class starting time. Announcements, explanations and directions can't be repeated for everyone who arrives late.

Class Rules

There is absolutely no food or drink around computers.  There is generally a place by the door you can temporarily put things.

Do not 'personalize' computers, and do not bring in or download any software unless instructed. Keep the desktop and hard drive clean.  There is space on the network to save  your stuff until you can get it on a floppy disk.

All monitors should be turned off during lectures, quizzes etc. unless instructed otherwise. It is inappropriate to be clicking away at a game or browsing the web while I am attempting to impart important crucial knowledge to students.

There will be a 10-minute break each hour.  You will be expected to return to class within that time.

STUDENT E-MAIL ACCOUNTS

Every student has an official CFCC-provided email account which is to be used for all email correspondence with your instructors and with the CFCC staff.  Some information from CFCC will ONLY be emailed to this address, and not sent through postal mail as in the past, so it is very important that you check this account periodically.  To access this account, please visit the CFCC website www.cfcc.edu and click on the Campus Cruiser link; then follow the instructions to log in. Your email address is yourlogin@email.cfcc.edu.  This email account is for your use while you are attending classes and will still be active until one year after your last class.  Your account may be used for personal as well as academic email and is subject to the CFCC Acceptable Use Policy.
