LaGuardia Community College
Revised 2/2011 Policy on CheatingInstructors of this course are required to implement College policy regarding cheating on examination and quizzes. A complete statement is available through student counseling services. A synopsis is as follows: If an instructor suspects a student of cheating, of any of the violations listed below, the instructor will inform the student of his or her suspicion, and a student-teacher conference will be held. At that conference, the suspected violation and the instructor’s intended penalty for the violation will be discussed. Give the student a copy of the STUDENT HANDOUT ON LAGUARDIA ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY (this document) and answer any questions the student may have.
Inform the student of the reasons for your suspicions and the intended penalties. These penalties may include, but are not limited to, the following:
If the student admits guilt, and agrees on the penalty, he/she should indicate so on the formal complaint. The instructor will then send the complaint to the Office of Academic Standing and impose the penalty.
If the student does not admit guilt or agree to the penalty, the student/teacher conference will end, and a hearing on the issue must be held. The instructor will then submit the complaint to the Office of Academic Standing, which will send a copy to the Dean of Students, who will then begin disciplinary proceedings. If the records of the Office of Academic Standing indicate that the student has committed a similar offense, the Office of Academic Standing will: Send a copy of the complaint to the Dean of Students, who will begin disciplinary proceedings.
HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY II The final grade for Human Biology is calculated from both lecture and laboratory examination grades; 60% of the final grade is determine from the lecture exams and 40% from the lab exams.
Practical exams will be based on identification of laboratory materials displayed at stations. Written exams will include short answers, fill-ins, diagrams, and short essays. Attendance is compulsory for all labs. It will be the student’s responsibility to make-up any missed labs. No make-up exams are given in laboratory.
Final Grades
92.5-100 = A
CHEATING WILL RESULT IN FAILURE SCB 203/204 INFORMATION SHEET
Attendance and punctuality are necessary for success; absence or lateness exceeding 10% is considered excessive. Classes will meet in accordance to the Academic Calendar (be sure to get a copy from the Information Desk in the Main Building) unless otherwise specified. Severe weather does not cancel classes; listen to your radio/TV for College closings. Student rights and responsibilities can be found in the College Handbook and Catalog, please refer to them. The Grading Policy for these courses can be found on page 3 of your course outline. Repeat, “R”, grades are not given in this course and Incompletes, “IN”, are issued only under very restricted circumstances. In order to receive an Incomplete, a student must have PASSING GRADES and be able to document why he/she is unable to complete the course work during the semester. Both the student and the instructor must complete and sign an Incomplete Form and list the exams that must be satisfactorily completed before a grade is issued. Students have 6 months to take the missing exams; otherwise the Incomplete is automatically converted to an F. An Incomplete does not provide a student with an opportunity to retake an exam(s); all prior grades are retained and added into the calculation of the final grade.
