Relationship to Campus Theme:
The student will be able to create Microsoft Access databases for situations in everyday life that will pertain to their field of
interest, may it be nature, business, health, or science. Databases will be created to store data, run queries, use forms, and to
create reports. The Microsoft Access software is a great tool to learn since this technology can be used in a multitude of
situations. The projects within the course allow students to create their own functional database to get a hands-on learning
experience.
Classroom Policies:
Students are required to complete all class activities.
Cheating will result in the automatic failure of this course.
All assignments will be submitted to the Assignment Dropbox. Assignments that are late will have points deducted
accordingly.
Incompletes are handled according to the campus policy.
Academic Integrity:
Students are responsible for submitting their own work. Students who cooperate on oral or written examinations or work
without authorization share the responsibility for violation of academic principles and the students are subject to disciplinary
action even when one of the students is not enrolled in the course where the violation occurred. (Student handbook p.19)
Students will receive no credit for work that fails to meet standards of academic integrity.
If a person participates in academic dishonesty more than once, the result will be an F for the course.
The use of templates or other pre-made layouts will result in an F for the assignment.
The instructor reserves the right to interpret and declare what is considered cheating on a case-by-case basis.
Disabilities and Special Needs:
If you have a disability for which you need accommodation, contact the Student Success
Center to request disability support services: phone 701-228-5477 or e-mail Peggy Gregg at
peggy.gregg@dakotacollege.edu.
Student Email Policy:
Dakota College at Bottineau is increasingly dependent upon email as an official form of
communication. A student’s campus-assigned email address will be the only one recognized by the campus for official mailings.
The liability for missing or not acting upon important information conveyed via campus email rests with the student.
