Policies: Students are expected to follow the policies set forth in the Parent/Student Handbook. Students who miss work due to an absence need to arrange for additional lab time to make up the work upon their return to class.
Other: Students are advised to keep a sense of humor and think positively when working with computers! Through careful scientific study, the instructor has determined that whining and complaining does not help you get the computer to do what you want it to do, nor does it endear you to those around you (including the instructor) who might be in a position to help you. (The complete research study on this is available from the instructor upon request.)
