COURSE DESCRIPTION:

College Math is designed to give students a sound background of the basic principles underlying mathematics. The focus of the curriculum is to improve basic computational skills and problem solving abilities. Students will not use calculators as the objective of this course is in the students’ ability to demonstrate problem solving through organized work steps. This refresher course will acquaint students with the areas of basic mathematics: whole numbers, fractions, decimals, ratios, proportions, percent’s, metrics, geometry, measurement and integers. The students will also become acquainted with the areas of mathematics that have a significant effect on the consumer.

GCCC ACADEMIC ETHICS & ACADEMIC DISHONESTY POLICY:

Students and Instructors are expected to uphold the school’s standard of conduct relating to academic honesty. Students assume full responsibility for the content and integrity of the academic work they submit. The guiding principle of academic integrity shall be that the student’s submitted work, examinations, reports, and projects must be that of the student’s own work. Students shall be guilty of violating the Academic Ethics code if they:

Represent the work of others as their own, misrepresent the content of submitted work.
Use or obtain unauthorized assistance in any academic work.
Give unauthorized assistance to other students (i.e.: allowing other to copy your work).
Modify, without instructor approval, an examination, paper, record, or report for the purpose of obtaining additional credit.

The penalty for violating the Academic Ethics code is severe. Any student violating the Academic Ethics code, cheating, is subject to receive a failing grade for the course and will be reported to the Dean of Instruction. Furthermore, your instructor has the option of placing an X designation for the class on your transcript. If a student is unclear about whether a particular situation may constitute a violation, the student should meet with the instructor to discuss the situation.

Academic Integrity:

All assignments, tests, and projects will be completed in accordance with the GCCC Policies of Academic Ethics as described in the College Catalog and Student Handbook.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY POLICY

This policy pertains to all GCCC classes and does not affect any action taken by the instructor of the class. The instructor retains the right to take the action he or she deems appropriate to the specific case including but not confined to the following:

Discussing the violation with the student
Failing the student for the specific assignment in question
Failing the student for the class

If the instructor decides to fail the student for the course, the student will receive an XF grade on his or her transcript with the understanding the X denotes academic dishonesty. The X will remain as a permanent part of the grade on the transcript.

The instructor also has the following options regardless of the actions already taken:

The instructor can notify the Associate Dean of General Education that academic dishonesty has occurred. That notification will include the following information:
Name and ID number of the student or students involved
Proof that academic dishonesty has occurred
A description of any action already taken by the instructor

Once the Associate Dean has received this information, he will notify the student’s advisor and any sponsors or coaches with who the student is associated of the breech in academic integrity. The Associate Dean will also notify the student by mail that a second occurrence will result in a recommendation of dismissal from the college to the Dean of Learning Services.

The Associate Dean will maintain a file listing students whose names have been turned in for academic dishonesty.

Should the student be dismissed from the college for academic dishonesty, the student retains the right of pursuing an appeal to the decision as described in the college catalog.

ADA/EQUAL ACCESS:

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), all qualified students enrolled in this course are entitled to “reasonable accommodations.” It is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor of secured accommodations. Please notify the instructor during the first week of class of any accommodations needed for the course. It will be the student’s responsibility to continue to notify the Instructor throughout the semester for accommodations they seek.

Garden City Community College is complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and is committed to equal and reasonable access to facilities and programs for all employees, students and visitors. Those with ADA concerns, or who need special accommodations, should contact the Accommodations Coordinator at Garden City Community College, 801 Campus Drive, Garden City, KS 67846, 620-276-9638.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY:

Garden City Community College does not discriminate against applicants, employees or students on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, age, height, weight, marital status, sexual orientation, or other non-merit reasons, or handicap, nor will sexual harassment be tolerated, in its employment practices and/or educational programs or activities. Those concerned about the above should contact the Director of Human Resources at Garden City Community College, 801 Campus Drive, Garden City, KS 67846, 620-276-9574.

For all other concerns, please refer to the Garden City Community College Catalog,

College Policy Manual and Student Handbook.

STUDENT CONDUCT:

All student behavior shall be based upon respect and consideration for the rights of others. Students shall be responsible for knowing, and abiding by, the rules and regulations of the college. The college assumes that all students are able and willing to maintain standards of self-discipline appropriate to membership in a college community. A rigid code of conduct is purposely omitted in order to establish confidence in this assumption. The college reserves the right to take disciplinary measures in the best interests of GCCC. Discipline is the responsibility of the Dean of Student Services. Cases involving minor infractions of normal discipline are handled by the Disciplinary Review Board. Disciplinary action will be initiated when a student’s behavior/action is determined to be dangerous to that individual’s health/well being, infringement on others’ rights, damage to college property, or any other situation which reflects negatively on the college community, programs, organizations, or activities. The college reserves the right to dismiss a student whose conduct is at any time unsatisfactory in the judgment of college officials. Conflicts with rules/regulations governing the following areas place a student in violation, and subject to discipline, of the Student Code of Conduct:
