The instructor may alter any, or all, of this syllabus during the semester as the learning environment requires.
Students will be notified of changes in the Canvas course shell.
BIG IMPORTANT NOTE!!!! The following information concerning Canvas is because Canvas hosts
our distance learning courses although some then go on to other online sites. For this course,
you will be logging in to Canvas and then taking a link out to eLAB which is a part of Labyrinth
Learning, the publisher of your textbooks. Once you log into eLAB and enter your login
information, you won’t have to enter it again.
COURSE ACCESS AND ORIENTATIONS
Canvas by Instructure is the online learning management system (LMS) used
by Colorado Mountain College. You access Canvas via your web browser, i.e.:
Mozilla/Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, etc. Students, faculty, and staff
members use the CMC Canvas site to access course announcements,
documents, research links and library resources, to receive and deliver
completed assignments, to take tests, and to communicate with each other via
http://www.intouch-c.com/CA%2070/
email, discussion boards and chat. For instructions on How to Access your
Canvas Account, Canvas How To's, and who to contact for all your Canvas
questions and support needs, please visit: www.coloradomtn.edu/web/departments/faq-for-students.
Visit CMC’s student orientation page at www.mycmcsuccess.com/. Clicking on the “Online Learning”
section will take you to an overview of Online Learning and an introduction to Canvas.
If you are experienced with Canvas you can log in at
http://coloradomtn.instructure.com, select the course and begin at the
Home Page which automatically opens after selecting the course.
After you log into the class whether you are new to Canvas or experienced,
please peruse the Home Page, then the Announcements, Syllabus, and
only then begin work in the Modules. There is a welcome video available
on the Home Page, which I hope you take the time to view.
LABYRINTH LEARNING
When you log into Labyrinth Learning, you will be entering their learning
management area called eLAB. There are instructions provided there for
viewing videos on how to use the eLAB site. It is similar to Canvas so if you
view the provided videos, you should find it easy to navigate.

ORDERING BOOKS
Colorado Mountain College has partnered with Follett
Virtual Bookstores to operate textbook services. You
will find the official textbook list at
www.coloradomtn.bkstr.com. Students wishing to use
their Financial Aid to purchase their textbooks from the
CMC Online Bookstore (Follett) may be set up with a
CMC Flex Pay account. Contact your local CMC
Accounts Manager for instructions and your specific

other important messages from Follett.
If you have online bookstore questions, email [email protected] or call 800-621-4088.
COMPUTER ACCESS
It is highly recommended that you have a personal
computer for use in online courses. If you need to
use a computer at your local Colorado Mountain
College location, you will be able to do so during
open lab hours. Please check with your local site for
times. Also, CMC computer labs typically run Office
2010 (instead of 2013) and Windows 7. If you plan on
using a CMC computer for this course, please verify
that you can locate a computer with Office 2013.
METHODS OF EVALUATION
In this course, the different types of assignments
(Homework, Labs, Assessments, Quizzes, etc.) are
weighted at different percentages. When you check
your grades on the Online Gradebook, please note
that the weighted percentage is the important figure, not the total number of points.
Homework – 25%
Homework Assignments will be questions covering
assigned chapters. Use of the book, notes,
supplementary information and the computer’s help
system will be permitted when doing homework
assignments.
Lab Assignments – 25%
Most of the chapters (projects) will include a lab
assignment or assignments. These are practical
assignment covering only the information
included in each chapter or project.
Practical Assessments – 20%
Practical Assessments will be given during the
course. These assignments will be similar to
common tasks that users of the software would
complete on a regular basis. Each section (Windows, Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint) will
have a Practical Assessment after the completion of that section and will only include information
from that subject matter (i.e. Word).
Page 4 of 13
Practical Assessments are Open Book. The concept with these is: can you get the job done? You
will be called upon to use independent thinking and problem solving skills. You can use the
book, the help system or even use references from the Internet. You just cannot ask a human to
assist you in the completion of these projects. Note: you may ask the instructor to clarify the
instructions if you need, you just shouldn’t ask how to accomplish the instructions.
Quizzes – 20%
Quizzes will be given over assigned chapters. Quizzes will be completed from your own
knowledge; no other help is permitted. No notes, no help system, and no person can be utilized
for assistance in the completion of these assignments! You are on your honor when it comes to
taking these tests!
Skills Review – 10%
Uses the Reinforce Your Skills and/or Apply Your Skills Assignments at the end of the chapters in
the book. These are short assignments located at the end of chapters.
GRADING SYSTEM AND OPTIONS:
Information about grading is available in the Colorado Mountain College catalog. Grades will be posted
to https://webadvisor.coloradomtn.edu/ (WebAdvisor) by Thursday following the last day of classes at the
end of each semester. Additional information is available at:
http://catalog.coloradomtn.edu/content.php?catoid=3&navoid=620#Grading_System_and_Options_.

PLEASE NOTE: I will not drop you from this class via an AW grade. If you wish to drop, it is your
responsibility to submit the proper form prior to the Withdraw Date listed at the top of the
syllabus.
TIMELINE
Questions via e-mail or the eLAB Inbox will normally
be answered daily Monday through Friday.
Assignments will be graded several times a week
with the Maximum wait being one week.
COURSE EXPECTATIONS
ASSIGNMENT INFORMATION
The Schedule of Assignments appears in this syllabus. The class files necessary for the chapter activities
are located on your eLAB Web site. You do NOT have to retrieve files from anywhere else unless a link is
provided there which takes you to another location!
Assignment Due Dates are as posted on the web site and in this syllabus. Because this is a web-based
course with no set class day and time, assignment due dates are the 15th of the month and the last
day of each month, no matter what day of the week they happen to be. This flex schedule gives you
a great deal of freedom in scheduling your work in this class. You only have to meet these twice-monthly
due dates and not weekly ones. The downside of this is that if you do nothing in a class for several
weeks, you suddenly get a bunch of zeros. Don’t let this happen to you. I would suggest getting your work
done right away and having the rest of the two week period, free. I will not be accepting excuses such as,
“the time just got away from me.” You need to deal with your personal time management!
At times, technology can let us down. I recommend that you NOT wait until the last possible opportunity
to submit assignments in case there is a technical difficulty (i.e. Internet outage, computer failure,
etc.). Allowing a few days buffer will give you the chance to find alternatives in the event of a technical
problem.
Page 5 of 13
THE FINAL MONTH’S WORK WILL BE DUE AT NOON ON THE LAST DAY OF THE SEMESTER. NO
WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER NOON ON THAT FRIDAY!
BEING AN ONLINE STUDENT
In order to experience success in a web-based course, each student needs to be an independent learner,
a self-starter, and disciplined in their time management. If they do not possess these qualities, the end of
the semester will find them severely behind in their assignments, panic-stricken, and over-burdened with
work. Failure is not far behind. L
If you run into trouble with an assignment and need help, do not hesitate to contact me with your
questions. If I know that you are having a problem, I can provide you with extra assistance. If your
problem is not one of understanding, but one of an outside nature (i.e. a home or work situation which
prevents you from completing your work on time), we can work out an acceptable alternative. If you fail to
say anything, it will appear that you simply don't care about your class. If there is a problem, let's talk!
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN INSTRUCTOR & STUDENT
This course is structured as a web course.
Keeping the instructor informed of up to
date contact information is the student’s
responsibility and it is imperative that he
or she fulfill this responsibility. Please
make any changes to your contact
information in Canvas as well!
I want to address one of the differences in
teaching/taking a web course as opposed
to a face-to-face course. If this was a
regular course and we all met together in
a room at the same time, I would be
instantly available for questions and
feedback. And I would know by your
questions (and sometimes by your
expression) if I needed to go over a topic
not quite understood yet. However, we are
not in a face-to-face classroom setting - so as a student in a web course it is your responsibility to contact
your instructor if you have questions or concerns. Use the Canvas Conversations system to contact me.
Don’t hesitate to contact me because I do enjoy hearing from my students.
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!
Students are responsible for course materials from
assigned text(s) and readings, lectures, labs and other
assignments as required. Keep a copy of all documents
and e-mails you send to me until the end of the course!
You never know what can happen to prevent me from
getting your questions and attachments. Additionally,
although I try my best to accurately record all grades, I am
human (gasp!) and sometimes mistakes happen. Protect
yourself by saving all of your work. Then if the unforeseen
should occur, you can resend the document and not have
to repeat that particular assignment.
HONESTY
Since this is a web class and you will be working entirely
on your own, you are asked to follow the rules and
expectations as specified in the grading section of this
syllabus. A student taking a web version of this class does not have an instructor present to monitor the
taking of quizzes as a student enrolled in an on-campus class does. Please do not abuse this situation! If
a student submits an assignment that is not his/her own original work, the grade for that assignment will
be an automatic F (zero points).

COURSE POLICIES
ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT POLICY
A student judged to have engaged in academic misconduct as defined in the “Academic Policies and
Requirements” section of the Colorado Mountain College Student Handbook will, at a minimum, receive a
“zero” for the work in question. The student may also be removed from the class, resulting in a failing
grade. All student course material may be submitted to Turnitin (or another anti-plagiarism program) at
the instructor’s discretion. “Academic Expectations,” the “Student Code of Conduct and Judicial Process”
and more information about academic misconduct can be found in the Student Handbook, online version
at: http://catalog.coloradomtn.edu/content.php?catoid=6&navoid=782
DROP/WITHDRAW POLICY
The last date to drop/withdraw from this course is April 10, 2015. Students wishing to withdraw from this
course must initiate the course withdrawal/drop process at the site Registration Office.
COURSE CONDUCT/CIVILITY POLICY
The Student’s Rights & Responsibilities section of the CMC
Student Handbook can be found at:
http://catalog.coloradomtn.edu/content.php?catoid=6&navoid=782
STANDARDS OF ONLINE BEHAVIOR
As responsible adults, students in this course are expected and
required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the
Colorado Mountain College student conduct code.
Unacceptable online behavior will not be tolerated and could result
in a student receiving an F for this course.
Some examples of inappropriate behavior follow:
• Use of rude, foul or otherwise inappropriate language in email, discussion boards, or other online forums
• Verbally attacking the instructor or fellow students in email, discussion boards, or other online forums
• Sending of obscene materials within the confines of this course
• Sending spam to fellow students within the confines of this course
Please be aware of the rules of ‘netiquette’. Netiquette is the
online equivalent to off-line etiquette. Using all caps is considered
shouting. Be careful how you phrase your message; the person
reading it will not have your facial expression or tone of voice to
help them interpret it. It is easy to be offensive without realizing it.
You might use emoticons like the smiley :-) or winking smiley ;-)
to help convey your meaning.
http://www.onlinenetiquette.com is a good web site to visit for
more netiquette information.
TECHNOLOGY POLICIES
STUDENT EMAIL
All CMC students enrolled in a credit-based class (0.5 hour credit class or more) will be assigned a CMC
student email address through Google mail (Gmail). Please allow at least 48 hours after you register for
this account to be activated. For more information on your CMC student email account, please visit the
Student page of the MyCMC Portal: mycmc.coloradomtn.edu.

SUBMITTING COMPLETED ASSIGNMENTS
Students will use the Instructure/Canvas web site to submit
some assignments. When submitting files through Canvas,
you should allow enough time for the upload to be completed.
Closing the Upload Assignment window or browsing away
from it before the attached assignment is completely
uploaded, will cause the file to be corrupted. Your instructor
will be unable to open it and you will be required to resubmit
the file. This is VERY IMPORTANT: As stated above, allow
enough time for the upload to complete or the file will not
be completely transferred to Canvas from your computer;
a message stating that the upload was completed will be
given by Canvas each time you complete an upload of a
document to the site.
If an assignment requires screenshots, a screenshot
document will be provided on the web site. This screenshot
document contains labels and/or descriptions of the required
screenshots. You must use this screenshot document to
submit your screenshots.
Please do not use the comments area where you submit assignment on Canvas to communicate a timesensitive message to your professor. Use e-mail, the Inbox or phone calls for regular communication with
your instructor and the comments area for assignment specific comments.
It is advisable to have a virus prevention program on your computer
and to keep the virus definitions up to date in order to protect
yourself from harmful viruses. If you send an infected file to your
instructor it will be deleted and you will be notified. You may submit
the assignment again after you have disinfected your computer
system.
SCHEDULE OF ASSIGNMENTS

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ISSUANCE & UNDERSTANDING OF COURSE SYLLABUS
I (print name) _______________________________________ have received, read, and understand the
course syllabus for this class.
I understand that I need the Microsoft Office 2013 Suite of programs on my computer or on a computer to
which I have easy access. I understand that I need a computer running Windows 7, 8, or 8.1. I understand
that Microsoft Access may not have come with my installation of Office and that I may need to do the
Access projects on a different computer. (Therefore please verify that your version of Office 2013 has
Access 2013 in it now instead of being surprised at the last minute!)
