Homework:

The student is expected to work on the current assignments both during class time and as homework. Failure to do so will result in poor grades and a poor outcome overall in this class.

 

Late Assignments:

Late assignments will be accepted with a letter grade penalty per week. Example: Dress turned in 2 weeks late will accrue a 2 letter grade drop in point totals. Assignments for full credit are only accepted on the due date. If extenuating circumstances occur, please contact me so I can advise you further on any actions to be taken.

Attendance:

 

1. You are expected to attend all classes for the complete class time. A student may not attend a course that he/she is not enrolled including after being dropped from enrollment.

2. It is the student's responsibility to contact the instructor if absent due to illness or extenuating circumstances. Students are responsible for obtaining notes and assignment handouts form other students when absent, tardy or leaving early.

3. In the event of illness or extenuating circumstances when an assignment is due, please send your classwork with another student so the assignment arrives on time. If this is not possible, you must create a paper trail as to why you could not be in class, i.e. a doctor's note detailing you were ill on the date of the missed class. I will only accept class work after the due date with extenuating paperwork.

4. In the event that you need to withdraw, you are responsible for dropping the class by the appropriate deadline otherwise you will receive a failing grade.

Academic Honesty Policy:

 

From 2014/2015 SAC Catalog, page 20: Students at Santa Ana College are expected to be honest and forthright in their academic endeavors. To falsify the results of one's research, to steal the words or ideas of another, or to cheat on an examination, corrupts the essential process by which knowledge is advanced. Academic dishonesty is seen as an intentional act of fraud, in which a student seeks to claim credit for the work or efforts of another without authorization, or uses unauthorized materials or fabricated information in any academic exercise. As institutions, we also consider academic dishonesty to include forgery of academic documents, intentionally impeding or damaging the academic work of others, assisting other students in acts of dishonesty or coercing students into acts of dishonesty.

 

 

Academic Accommodation Statement:

 

A student with a disability, who would like to request an academic accommodation, is responsible for identifying herself/himself to the instructor and to the Disabled Student Programs and Services (DSPS). To make arrangements for academic accommodations, contact the Disabled Student Office in Johnson Center, U-103, or phone (714) 564-6264, TTY (714) 564-6284 for a referral to the appropriate DSPS Department.

2. Yoga Pant-Elastic waist and either fitted or flare leg. Students may use their own design.

3. Swim suit- Uses swimsuit fabric,Tank style or Two-piece created with student's own design.
