Emergency Response Message

Take note of the safety features in and close to your classroom, as well as study the posted evacuation route. The most direct route of egress may not be the safest because of the existence of roofing tiles or other potentially hazardous conditions. In the event of an emergency it is imperative that everybody remain calm and take appropriate steps to deal with the situation.

Classroom Discussion Guidelines and Rules

• Learning is an active process and to be successful in college your active participation is imperative. I encourage students to raise their hand and ask questions or make relevant comments. However, please keep in mind that the anthropological study of humans can cover topics and information that may be shocking or unusual to you, and may present ideas that challenge your worldview. Students will always be expected to behave and speak in a respectful manner to the instructor and to other students.

Time Obligation: It is estimated that the typical student will spend two hours outside of class studying and completing assignments for every one hour in class. Each student is different, some students will need to spend more time out of class to do well and others will spend less time. Students need to monitor themselves and discern how much time they need to spend to do well in class.

Academic Honesty Policy: Students are expected to abide by ethical standards in preparing and presenting material which demonstrates their level of knowledge and which is used to determine grades. Standards include, but are not limited to the following areas: 1) Students shall not plagiarize, this includes: passing off as one’s own the ideas or words of another and/or using creative production without crediting the source. You may study together but you may not turn in the same work, make sure to use your own words in completing assignments, 2) Students shall not cheat, this includes: using notes, aides or the help of other students on tests or exams in ways other than those permitted expressly by the instructor. Instructors may deal with academic dishonesty in one or more of the following ways depending on situation: oral reprimand, assignment of an “F” on all or part of the exam, paper, or project, assignment of an “F” in the course, and/or reporting the student to the appropriate administrators for disciplinary action. Refer to the College Catalog for further details as well as ramifications of cheating.
