BCIS 2610:   INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTERS IN BUSINESS
 

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES - FALL 2008

Behavior

  • Cheating in any form will not be tolerated. You will be assigned a semester grade of 'F' and referred to the dean of students if your instructor deems that you have cheated in this course.
  • Your instructor has the right to have you removed from class for ANY BEHAVIOR THAT SHE/HE DEEMS INAPPROPRIATE. That includes such behavior as: 1. talking during lecture, 2. getting up and leave class early, 3. disturbing other students in any manner, etc.

Attendance

  1. For UNT administrative purposes, attendance will be taken until the 12th-day class rolls are finalized.
  2. Family events, weddings, ski trips, car trouble, car wrecks, being sick, etc. are not what the university considers a "university authorized absence" or a "state law exception". If you have any questions check with the DEAN OF STUDENTS before you miss an EXAM.
  3. It is the student's responsibility to execute the proper drop procedures for a grade of 'W' should they need to stop attending class. Failure to execute the drop procedure will result in an automatic grade of 'F' which cannot be changed.

Exams

  • BRING YOUR UNT PHOTO ID TO ALL EXAMS.  Three semester exams and a final exam will be given.
  •  
  • If you MISS one of the 3 semester exams, you will take a make-up exam for THAT exam as per the syllabus. If you miss two exams you will EARN AN F in the course.
  •  
  • On ‘Exam Make-up Day’ your instructor will have a different make-up exam for each of the 3 exams, so that you will take a make-up only over the material that was on the exam that you missed – it will, of course, be a different exam.
  •  
  • YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE TWO MAKE-UP EXAMS!    YOU CANNOT TAKE A MAKE-UP EXAM IF YOU DID POORLY ON AN EXAM - THAT IS WHAT THE OPTIONAL FINAL IS FOR. THERE IS NO MAKE-UP FOR THE FINAL EXAM.
