Academic Honesty- You are expected to adhere to SFCC's policy regarding academic honesty as explained on p. 10 of your Student's Rights and Responsibilities Handbook. Please do not plagiarize work. Use your own words.
A Note on Respect within the Academic Community- In order for learning to take place, students must feel safe; this safety is due all students, not only those who share your values, beliefs, and life experiences. For this reason, courtesy, thoughtfulness, and acceptance are essential in our discussions in and out of the classroom. Acceptance should not be confused with agreement; one need not agree with a person to listen, and one must listen well in order to disagree either cogently or respectfully. Every student in this course has a voice and so deserves the courtesy of attentive listening and the freedom to express diverse ideas.
If you have a health condition or disability that may require accommodations in order to fully participate in this class, please contact me after class or contact Disability Support Services in Building 17-201, Phone 533-4166. Information about disability will be regarded as confidential.
