The instructor cannot help you if he/she is not aware of your situation in a timely manner.
Course Technology Requirements: You must have access to an adequate computer with
internet service to do work in this class. You will not be excused from any work or assignments
if your internet server is down, you are unable to download the plug-ins, your home computer
does not work properly or is inadequate. For those within driving distance there are computer
based labs available on campus.
Please note that technology related downtime is one of the standard problems with online
learning. Be patient with this. Build some flexibility into your schedule so that you are able to
compensate if there is a problem. Roll with the punches and expect an occasional glitch.
Learner Expectations and Course Requirements:

In order to be successful in this college level course, you will need to set aside approximately 6
hours per week in order to read the book and lecture notes, visit web sites, prepare homework
assignments, participate in online activities such as the discussion board, and take quizzes and
exams. This class is not self-paced. I strongly encourage you to block out specific periods of time
each week for this course. You must check in with the announcements and message center
several times every week.
Students must complete all tests, quizzes and assigned course work in order to meet course
requirements and to receive a passing grade. All assignments must be completed even if they are
submitted beyond the due date and for which no points are earned for credit. Completion of the
course requirements does not in itself guarantee a passing grade for the course.
Due Dates:
This course is designed to be asynchronous (we do not need to be together at the same time),
however there are deadlines for assignments, discussions, quizzes and tests. See the Course
Schedule for a complete list of due dates. As a general rule all assignments are due by 11:59 PM
(Mountain Standard Time) of the written due dates.
Late Assignments: All assignments must be completed in order to meet course
requirements. Assignments not submitted on or before the written due date will be considered
late. A ten percent (10%) late penalty will be assessed for any late assignment. However, any
assignment received after seven (7) days of the due date will result in a score of zero points
credit earned for that particular assignment.
Test and Quiz Policy: Tests will be available for two (2) days. They will be available from
12:01 AM (MST) on the date noted in the lecture schedule until 11:59 PM the following day.
Students unable to take a test during the scheduled dates must contact the instructor prior to the exam
date. Quizzes are available for 7 days and do not have an extension time. If not taken during the 7
days, the point value goes to 0.
PLEASE NOTE: A ten percent (10%) late penalty will apply to any test or quiz that is not
taken during the scheduled dates. No make-up tests or quizzes will be allowed after seven
days of the scheduled date and will result in a zero score for the test.
Tests are made available during specific times in order to maintain an organized flow to the
course of study in addition to allowing the student and instructor to maintain appropriate
assessments of the individual students progress. Please make arrangements not to be disturbed
whenever logging on to take a test or quiz.
In order to maintain the academic integrity of the assessments, each test is individually timed and
questions are randomly selected from a pool of questions ensuring that each student does not
receive the same test. Adequate times have been established to allow students to comfortably
complete tests and quizzes without the use of notes and reference materials. Tests and quizzes
which are submitted and exceed the allowed time will be subject to an additional 10% penalty. If
a student goes over the allotted time, he/she should contact the instructor to discuss the issue.
Any test submissions exceeding the allowable time by more than 5 minutes will be evaluated by
the instructor on an individual basis and may result in a zero score for the test.
Discussion Board and Group Participation: Participation in the class discussions and
group activities are time sensitive. The educational value of these assignments drops to zero if
you do not participate in a timely fashion. Therefore there are no extensions for group or
discussion board participation assignments as they are available for 7 days. It is important to stay
with the rest of the class on this work. Discussions will be facilitated in a way that will enhance
the class and your understanding of the material. When participating in a discussion your posting
should include something substantial. If you agree or disagree with a comment, please respond
by saying more than I agree. Please explain why you agree or disagree and back it up with
research of some kind when possible.
A word of caution about flaming or rude behavior. It is easy to say things in an anonymous format
that you would not say to someone face-to-face. Please double-check the tone of your messages.
Personal attacks, cursing, or sexual connotations will not be permitted. The rules for flaming and
appropriate communications apply in e-mail and messages as well as the online discussion boards.
No derogatory comment toward anyone in the class will be tolerated. Keep your remarks polite and
on topic. The discussions will be monitored and may be removed if you get too far off track. Your
postings may be removed and you may be locked out of the discussion board if you violate the
flaming rules. This will also affect your grade.
Withdrawal Policy: Students are responsible for meeting the deadline dates and for
initiating a withdrawal either through the ACC website or calling the Office of Admissions and
Records at 303-797-5621. The deadline for receiving a refund is before the first 15% of the

students may still withdraw, however no refund will be granted.

Academic Integrity: Students shall use their own knowledge and skill to complete
examinations without referring to other students answers, old examinations, class notes
or other references, unless specifically permitted by the instructor. Group work is not
allowed unless specifically assigned. Cheating, plagiarism, or unauthorized possession of
examinations will result in disciplinary action including an F on the assignment, an
F in the course, or expulsion from the program. The disciplinary action is at the
discretion of the instructor. Please refer to the ACC Student Handbook for the appeal
process.
Students shall use their own knowledge to write papers or compile research information.
They shall not plagiarize, quote or copy other persons' work without giving proper
recognition as stated in the APA guidelines on style.
Students may not submit the same paper or assignment for two different classes.
Tracking tools are available within D2L that allows the instructor to monitor each students
progress. These features allow the instructor to view the individual login times and dates,
access to specific areas of each course and the identity of the computer being used.
E-mail Communication: Email correspondence from all ACC employees, including your
course instructors will be sent to your student email account only. You should check your student
email account regularly. To activate your student e-mail account, go to http://www.arapahoe.edu
and click on the Activate Student E-mail link.
Netiquette (On-Line Etiquette): How you will be perceived, your integrity, and level of
professionalism will all be judged by your peers and instructors based on how you choose to
communicate. This is especially true when communicating via e-mail where there is no benefit
of body language or tone inflection. Think of your e-mail as an important communication tool.
Please follow these guidelines carefully.
Usually begin with a greeting.
Sign your e-mails. Do not assume that your instructor has your e-mail address
memorized. Many students use an abstract email address that does not match their name.
Always identify yourself.
Do not send one e-mail with multiple questions about multiple courses. Instead, use the
course prefix in your subject line and only e-mail about that course. For example,
MOR100 would go in the subject line if your question is related to the Intro to Funeral
Service course.
Be brief.
Avoid sarcasm or humor as it may be misinterpreted.
Be polite.
When you type in all CAPS, that means that you are yelling at the person. This is
considered flaming and is rude behavior.
Dont use all lower case - capitalize when necessary and use appropriate punctuation. The
message sent when you use all lower case with no punctuation is, Youre not worth my
time to communicate properly with.
Dont use acronyms - they can be confusing and annoying to the reader who is
unfamiliar with what they mean.
If you are upset or angry about something, e-mail is not the best communication tool.
Pick up the telephone and call your instructor. They are always available by telephone.
Hit the send button one time, and to only one address. Duplicate e-mails waste the time of
both the sender and the receiver. If an instructor has several e-mail accounts, just pick
one address to send it to.
Do not send or forward to your classmates or instructors cute stories or pictures of jokes
that were sent to you. These e-mails clutter our boxes and take up time that we need to
answer legitimate e-mails.
Dont forward virus warnings- they are usually hoaxes. Most people have anti-virus
software installed.
Proof read your e-mails for clarity. If your instructor cannot understand what you are
asking, then he/she cant help you.
Any e-mail addresses provided by the school are for educational purposes only and are
not to be solicited for funds from students in any manner.
Once again, a word of caution about flaming or rude behavior. It is easy to say things
in an anonymous format that you would not say to someone face-to-face. Please double-
check the tone of your messages. Personal attacks, cursing, or sexual connotations will
not be permitted or tolerated.
Grading Policy:
The course has various exams and assignments that are assigned point values. The letter grade is
reflected by a percentage which is determined by dividing the total points earned by the total
points possible for the course. Grades are determined according to the following scale:
92-100% A
91-83% B
82-75% C
74-65% D
64 or below F
Students must complete all assigned course work in order to meet course requirements and to
receive a passing grade. Completion of the course requirements does not in itself guarantee a
passing grade for the course.
Final exams are comprehensive of all materials covered during the course and must be passed
with a minimum score of 75% in order to successfully pass the course. A student will be blocked
from taking the final exam if even with a 100% passing score it is statistically impossible to pass
the course.
Social Media:
Irresponsible social media conduct could potentially ruin your education and negatively impact your
career, not to mention hurt others in the process. Inappropriate posts may be a violation of the ACC
Code of Conduct, as well as state or federal laws and could result in disciplinary sanctions and/or
civil or criminal charges.
Security:
The safety and security of all our students, faculty, staff and visitors is of the utmost importance
to the Campus Police Department. We rely on each of you to be an additional set of ears and
eyes to help maintain campus safety. Please be diligent in your efforts to report suspicious or
unusual behavior or circumstances to the Campus Police Department. Trust your instincts when
something doesnt look, seem or feel right and tell someone. The Campus Police can be reached
at 303-797-5800 or in M2600 on the second floor behind Information Central. Additional safety
information can be found on the website at
