Relationship to Campus Theme: The purpose of the Education and Human Development Discipline is to educate students for careers as paraeducators, teachers, early childhood professionals, and adult caregivers. The discipline provides coursework which transitions to higher education degrees and work-related skills. Programs must prepare professionals based on industry standards and provide an educational continuum for degree advancement. Dakota College at Bottineau is committed to a hands-on learning environment and uses field experiences in educational settings as common instruction techniques. Classroom Policies: ● Please follow respectful etiquette regarding cell phones and related technology. If you must take a call (for an emergency), please take the call in the hallway. If these technologies are used in the classroom and become a disruption to the class, the student will be asked to leave the class. ● Be respectful of other students, technicians, instructors and guests. Academic Integrity: The academic community is based on 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. Dishonesty in the classroom and with assignments, quizzes, and exams is a serious offense and is subject to disciplinary action by the instructor and college administration. For more information, refer to the Student Handbook.  Students are responsible for submitting their own work. Violations of academic principles such as cheating, plagiarism, and other academic improprieties will be handled according to the guidelines outlined in the Student Handbook. "Faculty members have the prerogative of determining the penalty for prohibited academic conduct in their classes. Faculty members may fail the student for the particular assignment, test, or course involved, or they may recommend that the student drop the course in question, or these penalties may be varied with the gravity of the offense and the circumstances of the particular case."
