I will use your DCB email account for ALL communications with you. You are responsible for checking your email regularly. I will email homework lists, important dates, information on photo shoots, grades, etc. to your DCB account. You are responsible for knowing all the information sent to your campus email. Academic Integrity: All students are expected to adhere to the highest standards of academic integrity. Dishonesty in the classroom or studio and with assignments, quizzes, exams, and papers is a serious offense and is subject to disciplinary action by the instructor and college administration. For more information refer to the Student Handbook. Please note that I have a ZERO tolerance policy for cheating, plagiarism, and copyright violations. Professionalism: The DCB Photography program exists to improve your photography skills and knowledge as well as preparing you to be a professional photographer after graduation. Professionalism in the “real world” starts with professionalism in the world of academics. Professionalism shall apply to all aspects of your learning experience; from your homework assignments, tests and quizzes, and communication with faculty and staff at the college. When communicating by email, be sure to use the subject line for all correspondence and include your class in the subject of the email. Also, begin all emails with a greeting and end with a closing. All emails should be professional correspondence, regardless of when they are sent, the topic, or what device you are sending them from. Disabilities and Special Needs: If you have a disability for which you are, or may be, requesting an accommodation, you are encouraged to contact your instructor and Kayla O'Toole in the Learning Center (701-228-5479) as early as possible during the beginning of the semester.
