Regular attendance in this class is essential for you to succeed on exams and assignments, to contribute your ideas during class discussions, and ask appropriate questions. I believe that college students are responsible adults. I am more interested in ensuring your success. If you miss a class, first obtain the notes and then see me before the next class if you need clarification. If you miss an exam, you must call, e-mail or see me to reschedule before I review the exam, which I do normally at the next class.
Exams are closed book unless specifically noted.
You are responsible for all material covered in class, computer lab, and assigned reading. I highly recommend that you find a partner who will take notes for you if you miss a class. My students report even better success when they form small study groups to review notes and study for exams together. The College offers outstanding help in both the Study Skills Office and the Writing Center, in addition to our own CIS Lab Assistants. SUNY recommends that you plan to devote at least two hours of outside work for each hour you spend in class.
