EXPECTATIONS: Students/Instructors What successful students should expect to do in CSIS 172? Successful students understand that the retention and comprehension level of the material covered in this course depends on the degree of their commitment to learning. Students are expected to read the chapter before class and come prepared with questions to ask the instructor. Successful students recognize that the classroom instruction, syllabus, text book, and online course materials are the primary source of information, so they read them carefully and refer to them regularly. If needed the Instructor may refer you to additional on-line resources that can be used to augment your learning. Successful students will be challenged and encouraged to accept learning responsibilities. Successful students recognize the importance of communicating with the instructor and/or their classmates. Successful students email their instructor to discuss questions or concerns; they participate in-class and online discussions. Successful students meet all due dates for assignments and enrollment status as stated in this syllabus. Successful students plan their time wisely. Due Dates have been established for the completion of the course work. The student is responsible for submitting assignments and completing the required activities by these dates or a zero (0) will be assessed. The course is designed to be completed in a compressed 8 week format. This is equivalent to two courses in a semester. Hence the time that a successful student should devote to the course is what they would normally spend on two courses of 4 credits each.

Successful students are self-motivated and keep up with all assignments and activities. Successful students exhibit online and in-class courtesy and focus on learning. Successful students ask questions before due dates. Successful students look up information first so that they ask informed questions, not questions they already have the answers to. If they cant find the answers, they contact the instructor by asking question in-class or using the course email or by phone or by posting the question to the discussion forum. Successful students pay close attention to how they can best and most easily learn the material in a particular subject area. Students may find it helpful to take a learning styles inventory to guide their study habits. Students can access one online at http://www.metamath.com/lsweb/dvclearn.htm. Students who are having difficulty figuring out how best to learn the material in this class should contact the instructor for suggestions. Part of the instruction including labs, exams and assignemnts will be required to be completed at home as this is a hybrid class. Student are required to submit work on time to get credit.

What students can expect from their CSIS 172 Instructors? Successful instructors facilitate the learning process, encourage students, and provide constructive feedback on assignments. Successful instructors communicate frequently with their students. The CSIS 172 instructors will attempt to respond to emails within 48 hours. The CSIS 172 instructor will forward individual comments using the course email when it is clear that a significant misunderstanding of the concept has occurred or where a student needs additional assistance to be successful in subsequent Chapters. Successful instructors design the course and learning activities to enable students to learn and understand the content, interact with the materials, and apply the concepts. Successful instructors evaluate assignments fairly. The grading scale is included in the syllabus. Successful instructors seek feedback and adapt to student needs. Successful instructors encourage students to clarify their doubts and present the material in different formats and learning styles to keep the material fresh and appealing to students. Successful instructors are willing to give students who have a genuine emergency (such as a serious medical situation) a chance to makeup homework and assessment.

ACADEMIC HONESTY

Each student must perform his/her own academic work. Plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty are considered serious offenses. ATTENDANCE POLICY Computer Networking Program requires in-depth study and analysis and cannot be taken casually. A student with heavy time constraints may have a difficult time completing his/her course work satisfactorily, particularly if this is the first course of this type ever taken. The vast majority of students will find that setting aside enough time to work on class assignments is imperative. It is also crucial that you attend class as well as diligently work on class assignments during the week since in class time is very limited. Students are expected to attend class regularly and stay the entire class period, unless otherwise excused. Late students are expected to be respectful of the class and avoid whispering in an attempt to figure out what is going on. Simply wait until there is a break or the class ends. If a student is absent for more than 3 classes the student is unlikely to master the course objectives and may be dropped from the class. Absent students are responsible for material covered in class. It is the student's responsibility to obtain lecture notes and homework assignments from a classmate or if available download it from the web site and to make up missed lab time outside of class time if absence is excused by the instructor. Students may have to work alone for make up labs. HOMEWORK Homework assignment will be given in-class or posted on the class Web page when applicable. It is the student's responsibility to check the site to determine if a homework assignment has been made. The due date of the assignment will be given with the assignment. MAKE-UP POLICY Students are expected to complete work on time. Students are responsible for all material covered during each class session. In bona fide emergency situations, the student should contact the Instructor to ask to make-up exams that were missed as well as provide the instructor with documentation from an official source (i.e., doctor, police department, etc.). Otherwise, the absence will be considered unexcused and the student may not be allowed to make-up exams. If a student is unable to attend class, they should make arrangements with the Instructor to submit homework/assignments early. Completion of all Labs is required to pass the class. All exams and quizzes will be announced in advance and appear on the syllabus. Other than for bona fide emergencies, no makeup exams\quizzes are given unless arrangements are made with the instructor at least one week before the exam\quiz. A missed exam\quiz receives a grade of zero. There is no make-up option for missed homework assignments. I know even the best students can have situations and emergencies in life. I am willing to consider these circumstances and will

attempt to work with genuine students who can show proof of the extraordinary circumstances. SPECIAL NEEDS I encourage students with disabilities, including "invisible" disabilities such as chronic diseases, learning, and psychological disabilities, to explain their needs and appropriate accommodations to me during my office hour. Please bring a verification of your disability from the Learning Skills or DSP&S offices and a counselor or specialists recommendations for accommodating your needs. MSDNAA Students taking credit course within the Business Department that are enrolled in Computer Science are entitled to receive certain Microsoft software free. You may contact your Instructor to find out the details of this program. WITHDRAWAL POLICY Students may drop this course and receive a W at any time prior to drop a class with W as indicated in the important dates at the beginning of the syllabus. Students will not be able to drop after this date and will get an F if they fail the class. Students are responsible for dropping the class and should not expect the faculty to do it. CISCO ONLINE ASSESSMENT This course requires the student to use the Cisco online curriculum and assessment. The student will be given a Cisco user ID and account to logon to the Academy website. Study materials, online assessments, and the Final exam are available on this website. The Cisco system keeps track of your scores on the assessments and exams. That is an independent system and separate from the MPC letter grade that you will get at the completion of the course. GRADING SCALE
100 90 89.9 80 79.9 70 69.9 60 59.9 0 A B C D F

FINAL GRADE DETERMINATION The final grade for this course is determined using the following student activities:

Please Note: The Extra Credit will only be applied at the end of the course to the students total score to help students earn a higher grade. Students will be given opportunity during the course to gain Extra Credit. In-class activities will consist of assignments and labs. It is possible to have more than one lab and or assignment within one day and it is also possible that some labs may be carried forward. CLASS SCHEDULE The following is a tentative schedule of class activities. The instructor may modify this schedule due to class cancellations or unforeseen changes in class pace or activities. Specific homework, labs, and projects will be assigned in class. If you miss a class, please make sure you obtain class notes and assignment information from a classmate. Make sure to include your name, the course number, and date submitted on all homework. No late homework will be accepted unless there is a documented emergency. If needed, you can make arrangements with the instructor to submit homework early. Please remember this is a computer related class which means that you must complete a great deal of the work on your own outside of class time utilizing the Internet and Cisco academy site.
