Attendance
Attendance
is very important for your progress to the next level. If you miss 20% of the total class time (5
classes), you will receive a grade of “No Progress” for the quarter. Also, if you come to class more than one-half
hour late or leave more than one-half hour early, the time you miss is part of
the 20%.
To
go to the next level, you must show progress in reading, writing, listening,
and speaking. If you miss the CASAS
reading and listening tests, you will receive a grade of “No Progress.”
You
may repeat a class only three times.
·
You will need a textbook, a notebook, pens, and
pencils. Bring them to each class.
·
Come to class on time.
·
Do all homework and participate in class (work in groups/pairs,
ask questions).
·
Be polite and respect your classmates. We learn from each other. We can help each other. We must treat one another with respect, even
when we have different ideas. We will
use professional student behavior that does not disturb others.

The

end of the quarter. A card with words
from all the students, flowers, and food are good ways to thank your teacher.
You do not need to buy your teacher a gift or give money.

Students with disabilities must
progress like other students. You should
tell the teacher about your disability, special illness, or your need for
special arrangements in class.

Disability Support Services (DSS), call 564-2498 or go to the DSS office in room B233-G.
We do not wish other
people (parents, spouses, and friends of students) to speak for students about
school performance because this can slow student growth and progress. We do this
because we would like students to speak for themselves and be independent. We also do it because federal law (the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act) says that we must protect the privacy of
student education records. It is BCC
policy to keep school performance between the school and the student. If a
student asks for a parent, spouse, or friend to be at any instructor-student
discussion of academic performance, instructors will look at each situation and
make the final decision. You can see all of this policy, Arts and Humanities Commitment to Student Growth and Development, at
