<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 11pt;">The Arizona Board of Regents for Community Colleges has established as a general guideline that each course should require a student to spend a minimum of two hours in preparation outside the class for each hour spent in class. The time outside of class should be devoted to reading; taking chapter notes; computer work; preparation for group activities, tests, quizzes, etc. <span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 11pt;">The faculty and programs at Chandler Gilbert Community College are dedicated not only to effective teaching and successful learning in regard to your academic growth, but are equally committed to these inherently related aspects of education, especially: //__<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">Critical Thinking: __// The ability to locate, apply, analyze, synthesize and evaluate information utilizing a variety of resources to make decisions and solve problems, //__<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">Personal Development: __// The ability to demonstrate respect for oneself and accept responsibility for meeting and balancing one’s own needs while respecting other peoples’ individual rights. Students should take responsibility and initiative for decisions, actions and their consequences, respect for differences among people and recognize contributions of other peoples/cultures, cooperate and communicate effectively in interdependent relationships, accept responsibility for developing and achieving academic, career, and personal goals, and resolve problems through an effective decision-making process. In all courses, students will be engaged in individual and/or group tasks that will help them understand and assess their own growth in these two areas. Additional skills or “outcomes” also have a focus across the curriculum. They are: Reading, speaking, listening, writing, math literacy, computer application skills, humanities, problem solving, and information literacy. Periodically, students will participate in formal and informal assessment activities that will help faculty improve the instructional program and teaching strategies to facilitate students’ growth in whatever combination of these outcomes applies to a course. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Students with disabilities are required to register for services in the Disability Resources and Services (DRS) office in the Student Center at the beginning of the semester. Do not wait to visit the DRS office if you want support with any CGCC classes. The DRS office will meet with you to determine accommodations based on appropriate documentation. Therefore, faculty members are not authorized to provide or approve any accommodations for students in this class without written instructions from the DRS office. This must be on file before any accommodation will be provided. You can contact the DRS office at (480) 857-5188. <span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 11pt;">The CGCC Learning Center's mission is to support students' academic learning by providing free tutoring and resources to reinforce and supplement classroom instruction and to assist CGCC students to achieve academic success. Free tutoring services are available for many CGCC courses. The Learning Center is located on the second floor of the Library, rooms L227, L228, and L229. The Learning Center also provides instructional support resources in the form of videotapes, software, and print materials. For a schedule of tutoring hours, additional information or assistance contact the Learning Center at (480) 732-7231, or visit our website at []. <span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> The Learning Center's mission is to support students' academic learning by providing free tutoring and resources to reinforce and supplement classroom instruction and to assist CGCC students to achieve academic success. At the Williams Campus, math and science tutoring takes place in EGEL101, and writing tutoring takes place in EGEL102. All Learning Center services are free to students currently enrolled at Chandler-Gilbert Community College. Students needing additional information or assistance should contact the CGCC Learning Center at 480.732.7231 or visit our website at []__. __ <span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 11pt; font-variant: small-caps;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Plagiarism is defined as presenting the work of another as one’s own. More than four consecutive words from a source other than the writer constitute plagiarism when the source is not clearly identified in appropriate documentation format. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 11pt;">From the //CGCC Student Handbook//: <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 11pt;">“Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, the use of paraphrase or direct quotation, of the published or unpublished work of another person without full and clear acknowledgement. It also includes the unacknowledged use of materials prepared by another person or agency engaged in the selling of term papers or other academic materials.” <span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 11pt;">

<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">**Attendance Policy**
<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Class attendance and participation is a critical component of student success. Students who miss class typically have difficultly catching up and do poorly on exams. Any student with **__more than 3 absences__** may be withdrawn from the class for lack of participation.

<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">**Cheating Policy**
<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Students who engage in behaviors that may be interpreted as cheating will receive a zero score on the assignment in question. A second offense will result in a **//F//** course grade. Common “cheating” behaviors include talking with another person during an exam. With the exception of the final exam, no notes may be used on any exam. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> The use of cell phones, earphones, ipods, laptops, or any similar devices is prohibited during this class. Do your texting and deal with phone calls outside of class. Students are expected to know and comply with all college regulations as printed in the catalog and course schedule.
