Academic Dishonesty
It is the policy of HCC and therefore the policy in this class to fail any student or students engaged in any form of cheating and or attempt to hand in work that is not his or her own. Should an incident of this nature occur, the student will be ejected from the class, summarily failed and submitted to HCC administration for disciplinary action.
Attendance: - students are expected to be in class on time, lectures
Facilities: All computers in the classroom, and in the Open Computer Lab,
are connected to the Internet. All of the coursework can be completed on any
computer available to the student that supports Internet Explorer 5.0 (or
higher). There are computers you can use in our library, in the public library,
and on the other HCC campuses.
The Curriculum
The curriculum for this class is located online at the Cisco Website, printing any one chapter could be as many as 100 pages. Students WILL NOT print the curriculum out on any HCC printer for any reason. Cisco does not want the curriculum printed out. Any printing that you want to do will need to be done on your own printer at home or work.
Module Quizzes are taken in class or as directed by instructor - online at the Cisco test site. Tests are NEVER to be printed for any reason. Any printed tests that are found will be turned over to the Dean as cheating. When taking a test your Cisco login is at the top of each page. DO NOT PRINT OUT ANY TESTS !
