Rules of Student Behavior:

x All students are expected to:

o show respect for the instructor and for other students in the class o respect the privacy of other students o express differences of opinion in a polite and rational way o maintain an environment of constructive criticism when commenting on the work of other students o avoid bringing up irrelevant topics when involved in group discussions or other collaborative activities

x You will read your syllabus; your syllabus is a contract between your professor and you. Be aware of deadlines to complete assignments on time and know your professor’s attendance policy. You will need to attend class for the full length of time allotted to your science class and lab.

x You will be aware of Valencia College policies and procedures found in the college catalog; ignorance of policies and procedures doesn’t mean they don’t apply.

x You will be serious about learning; it is your responsibility to be an active participant in your own learning. You will need to devote sufficient time to learn the material presented by your professor; for most students, this means you will need to spend at least two hours studying for every hour of instruction. Learning is an action verb; you will need to do more than sit through class and reread your notes to be successful. To succeed in higher level classes, you must retain the information, concepts and skills you will learn; this can only happen if you work at learning to make the course content a part of your long term memory. Do not cram!!

x You will be encouraged to produce your own study guides. Most college professors do not provide study guides, but they can give you tips that will help you produce your own study guides to gain a better understanding of the course content.

x You will be expected to participate fully in classroom activities. The work you produce must be your own; cheating in any form is not tolerated and your professor will have specific consequences, in their syllabus, which will be enforced should cheating occur.

x You will be expected to contribute to a positive learning environment. Avoid classmates who speak negatively, or who have a negative outlook, about your class or your professor. Instead, get to know your professor during office hours; you will learn much more with a positive attitude.

x You will be held to a high standard of maturity and responsibility. Disruptive behaviors will not be tolerated in the classroom or lab.

x The following list summarizes the kind of behavior that is not acceptable. Each item listed below is grounds for removal from the class. Students should not:

o Show disrespect for the instructor or for other students in the class o Send messages or comments that are threatening, harassing, or offensive o Use inappropriate or offensive language o Convey a hostile or confrontational tone when communicating or working collaboratively with other students o USE ALL UPPERCASE IN THEIR MESSAGES -- THIS IS THE EQUIVALENT OF SHOUTING!!!

BSC 1010C Study Tips

“LEARNING” IS AN ACTION VERB!! Most students need to do more than just sit through lectures and reread their notes. Spend 1-

2 hour blocks of time EVERY DAY actively writing or discussing concepts to make them a part of your memory. Use the words you

learn often, they will sink in better-.

Here are some study and classroom management tips that have assisted former students:

- Do not miss class. The introduction to each lecture explains the purpose of the entire lecture. Students who follow this rule won’t

miss important information.

- REWRITE YOUR NOTES soon after the lecture.

- Create flash cards with questions you make up from the lecture and lab with answers on the back.

- Make lists of confusing topics from your studying and ask questions (as many as you can!). Talking to your professor helps you as

well your professor to refocus on the topic again.

- Take advantage of the professor’s office hours.

- JOIN A STUDY GROUP and predict what questions the professor could ask on the test.

- Get the telephone number of one or more buddies in case you are absent from a class.

BSC 1010C LETTER FROM THE DEAN

Expectations of a Valencia College Science Student

Welcome to the Science Division of Valencia College’s West Campus; we are enthused to have this opportunity to assist you in achieving your educational goals. Higher education is a privilege and an opportunity; it is your responsibility to realize that you are in control of those behaviors and actions that can enable success in this course.

From your professors, you can expect the following:

1. They will be prompt, courteous and respectful. 2. They will provide a professional learning environment throughout the entire scheduled instructional period. 3. They will provide an up-to-date syllabus; when changes need to be made, they will announce changes in a manner that

is conveyed to all students in their class. 4. They will provide you with a course that is of necessary rigor to prepare you for the career you have chosen; because the

class you are taking transfers to a four year college or university, it will be taught with the same academic expectations. The bonus of starting your education at Valencia, when compared to attending a four year college, is you will be able to get more personal attention with small class sizes and you will be able to save money; the classes are not easier.

5. They will offer time outside of class to discuss your questions. 6. They will be available to discuss your class concerns in private, outside of class time; you should try to resolve your class

concerns with your professor before you try to voice your concerns with administrators. 7. They will respond to emails within 2 business days. 8. They will expect from you what they have expected from the many students who passed their classes in the past.

In return, this is what your professor will expect from you:

1. You will be prompt, courteous and respectful. Prompt means you come to class on time, ready to work, with all assignments completed before you enter class or lab. It means that you have studied, that all conversations, texting and diversions come to a stop and that you are ready to contribute to a positive learning environment from the beginning of the class or lab. Courtesy means you are polite in your attitude and behavior towards your professor and classmates. Respectfulness means that you regard everyone’s classroom experience as valuable to them, that you accept your professor’s expertise and experience to create relevant course objectives and that you treat college and personal property with care.

2. You will read your syllabus; your syllabus is a contract between your professor and you. Be aware of deadlines to complete assignments on time and know your professor’s attendance policy. You will need to attend class for the full length of time allotted to your science class and lab.

3. You will be aware of Valencia College policies and procedures found in the college catalog; ignorance of policies and procedures doesn’t mean they don’t apply.

4. You will be serious about learning; it is your responsibility to be an active participant in your own learning. You will need to devote sufficient time to learn the material presented by your professor; for most students, this means you will need to spend at least two hours studying for every hour of instruction. Learning is an action verb; you will need to do more than sit through class and reread your notes to be successful. To succeed in higher level classes, you must retain the information, concepts and skills you will learn; this can only happen if you work at learning to make the course content a part of your long term memory. Do not cram!!

5. You will be encouraged to produce your own study guides. Most college professors do not provide study guides, but they can give you tips that will help you produce your own study guides to gain a better understanding of the course content.

6. You will be expected to participate fully in classroom activities. The work you produce must be your own; cheating in any form is not tolerated and your professor will have specific consequences, in their syllabus, which will be enforced should cheating occur.

BSC 1010C 7. You will be expected to contribute to a positive learning environment. Avoid classmates who speak negatively, or who

have a negative outlook, about your class or your professor. Instead, get to know your professor during office hours; you will learn much more with a positive attitude.

8. You will be held to a high standard of maturity and responsibility. Disruptive behaviors will not be tolerated in the classroom or lab. First time disruptions will be handled by your professor and may include a request that you leave the class or lab. Very serious or repeated disruptions will be reported, to the Dean of Science and the Dean of Students, with specific consequences that can include your permanent removal from the class. Disruptions include:

- Being noisy when arriving late to class or leaving early. - Carrying on private conversations while the professor is talking. - Disrespectful language, tone and mannerisms. - Sleeping or attempting to sleep in class. - Repeatedly asking unnecessary or irrelevant questions.

My wish is that you get the best learning value from the science classes that you are taking. With everyone abiding by the expectations in this letter, your science classes at Valencia should be the next step in achieving your academic dreams.
