Grades: Grades are earned through points and converted into a percentage. Percentages are calculated by dividing the total points earned by the total points possible. Grades are assigned to percentages as follows: Percent Grade 90-100% A Target 80-89% B Acceptable-high 70-79% C Acceptable-low 61-70% D Unacceptable 0-59% F Unacceptable Academic and Institution Policies: Academic Integrity: The academic community is operated on the basis of honesty, integrity and fair play. It is expected that all students, as members of the college community, adhere to the highest levels of academic integrity. Which Means: • Students are responsible for submitting their own work. Students work MUST NOT be plagiarized. • Students must not cooperate on oral or written exams or quizzes or work together on other assignments unless it has been authorized by the instructor. Violations of academic principles such as cheating, plagiarism and other academic improprieties will be handled using the guidelines outlined in the Student Handbook. Quality of Work: At the college level of learning, it is expected that all work be submitted free of spelling, grammar and punctuation errors. Participation in the course work is expected and taken into account when determining coarse grades. Discussion and information must be thought- out, in-depth and incorporate new vocabulary and concepts learned during the course. Confidentiality The experiences or problems shared by classmates during meeting time are not to be discussed outside of class. This is preparation for those going into a helping field where confidentiality is stressed in the CEC Standards for Professional Practice.
