Subsection 7.1 Student Rights and Responsibilities
Students are required to complete this course in accordance with the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook. The Handbook establishes students’ freedoms and protections as well as the expectations of appropriate behavior and ethical academic work. The Handbook includes items such as the Policy on Student Rights, and the Student Code of Conduct Policy and Procedures.

The handbook contains the Code of Student Conduct and the Academic Integrity Policy. Cheating includes any attempt to defraud, deceive, or mislead the instructor in arriving at an honest grade assessment, and may include copying answers from other students or using unauthorized notes during tests. Plagiarism is a particular form of cheating that involves presenting as one’s own the ideas or work of another and may include using other people’s ideas without proper attribution and submitting another person’s work as one’s own. Dishonest activities such as cheating on exams and submitting or copying work donw by others will result in disciplinary actions including but not limited to receiving a failing grade. For further information, review the institution’s Academic Integrity Policy.

The use of generative AI and Language Learning Models in this course such as, but not limited to ChatGPT, should be used only if it does not otherwise violate the Academic Integrity Policy of the College. Such violations include turning in work that is not your own.
In this class specifically, while generative AI and language learning models can be excellent tools for summarizing and presenting information, leaning on such tools when you are yourself trying to learn something, even in ways that seem to be academically honest, can instill a dependency that is really challenging to let go of later. I highly recommend avoiding the use of tools like ChatGPT, even as a study assistant! Please ask me for help instead.

Our course is typically unaffected by college campus and facility closures or delayed class start times. Our regular due dates [and Zoom class meeting times (if a remote class)] apply. However, if PCC must close all operations, our regular due dates will be adjusted accordingly. Please check your email for my instructions and continue to check Brightspace during closures.
Subsection 7.5 Flexibility Statement
The instructor reserves the right to modify course content and/or substitute assignments and learning activities in response to institutional, weather, or class situations.
