Students are expected to:
- arrive on time and participate in class.
- finish assigned readings and homework before coming to class and be prepared to answer questions and discuss reading content.
- spend time contemplating the basic issues discussed in class, online, and in the reading.
- assess learning and performance, especially thinking and writing processes.
- treat peers and instructors with respect. No discrimination with respect to race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or ethnicity will be tolerated.
- engage in appropriate academic classroom behavior (e.g., arriving on time with assigned materials and prepared to take notes, and not engaging in social conversations or disruptions).
- get a Shoreline CC email account (http://www.shoreline.edu/StudentAccounts.aspx). This is helpful for communication between students and faculty, and it is required for off-campus access to the library’s online databases.
- take independent steps to solve any confusion due to missed class (or other reasons) by using whatever methods are deemed effective by the student; inform instructors of questions or concerns.
- devote ample time to course content despite work, family, social, and other academic or school obligations.
- not engage in dishonest academic practices or commit plagiarism. Students who engage in dishonest academic practices or commit plagiarism should be prepared to accept the consequences: receiving 0 points for the assignment without the option to explain your actions or to do the assignment over. (Further discipline may be appropriate.) See plagiarism policy.
