Code of CivilityInstructors are expected to be professional, courteous, respectful and empathic to students.They will: Begin and end class on timeBe prepared for each class sessionProvide academic feedback and grade assignments in a timely mannerBe available for individual consultationClarify assignments and inform students of any adjustments to the class scheduleStudents are expected to be reflective, courteous, respectful and empathic to classmates,instructor and other college staff assisting in their learning. Students are expected to arrive ontime for class and remain until class has ended. The instructor should be notified in advance ifthere is a need to leave early. Students will be expected to: Mute mobile phones and pagers before entering classroomBe in class and be on timeBe prepared for class sessionsParticipate in class activitiesFollow instructions and complete assignmentsKeep up with and turn in assignments by due datesPut forth their best effortsExchange phone numbers with two classmates in order to keep current.Ask questions when they don’t understandMaintain knowledge of their grade statusContact instructor right away about concerns or situations that may interfere with theirsuccess in classComply with policies found in the SCC Catalog and SCC Student HandbookDiversity and a Safe Learning EnvironmentThis classroom will be a safe learning environment for every individual as far as I am able toensure that outcome. This means I will treat each student with respect, and in turn I expectrespect to be given to the instructor and every individual in this course. Disagreement does notequal disrespect. We all bring different points of view, different personal values, different lifeexperiences, and different personal preferences with us into the classroom. This diversitymakes for great discussion, adds interesting dimensions to our interpersonal relationships, andis welcome in the academic arena. Though we celebrate our differences, I expect each studentto respect the rights and needs of fellow classmates. Students cannot feel safe to expressthemselves without the assurance that their ideas, attitudes and beliefs will be treated withrespect.6 PageScottsdale Community College
Academic Honesty Every student in this class is expected to produce his/her own original work. Plagiarism is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Plagiarism will result in being dropped from the course with a failing grade. Plagiarism will result in actions as outlined in the College Catalog.Using Web-Based ApplicationsWe will be using web-based for academic use in this course. By default, the webbased/discussion applications are open to the public for the purpose of sharing your work withthe larger Internet community; specifically, using web-based presentation tools, onlinediscussion and comments will: provide an opportunity to track and reflect upon your design process/progress, provide an opportunity to collaborate on design projects, and engage a larger audience who may provide feedback on the project.To use the web-based/discussion/comment applications responsibly please observe all laws,SCC, and MCCCD policies that are incorporated into the Codes of Conduct and AcademicIntegrity. Some specific aspects of law and policy that might be well to remember areprohibitions against copyright infringement, plagiarism, harassment or interferences with theunderlying technical code of the software. Some resources to remind yourself about SCC andMCCCD policies as well as laws about copyright and fair use: SCC College Catalog and Student Handbook MCCCD Copyright GuidelinesAs a student using the web-based/discussion/comment applications certain rights accrue toyou. Any original work that you make tangible belongs to you as a matter of copyright law. Youalso have a right to the privacy of your educational records as a matter of federal law and maychoose to set your discussion privacy settings to private and only share with the instructor andyour classmates. Your contributions to the web-based/discussion/comment applicationsconstitute an educational record. By contributing to the web-based/discussion/commentsapplications, and not taking other options available to you in this course equivalent to thisassignment that would not be posted publicly on the Internet, you consent to the collaborativeuse of this material as well as to the disclosure of it in this course and potentially for the use offuture courses.Campus Security ServicesThe main security services that are provided on campus are provided to faculty, staff andstudents on a regular basis. Most importantly if you see something “out of place” or suspiciousplease contact the safety Department.SCC Emergency Numbers: Call 4-0- 911 or 480-784- 0911All Maricopa County Community College Public Safety offices have a fully monitored,centralized dispatch center. This center is actively staffed 24 hours a day and these7 PageScottsdale Community College
numbers directly access the dispatch center, where dispatchers will then send officers to thelocation of the emergency activity. Non-emergency situations should be reported directly to theSCC campus safety office by calling 480-423- 6175 or x36175Patrol: We have a 24/7-patrol service by police officers and police service aides. Both aremarked with uniforms and patrol on foot, bike, cart or patrol car. Police officers are AZPOSTcertified and the police aides are civilian, some with prior law enforcement or militaryexperience.Cameras: there are several security camera on campus they are operational 24/7. The camerasare digital recording devices and are subject to computer errors.Blue outdoor call boxes/inside classroom “Talk Master” systems: These devices activate at thepress of a button and are answered by our on-campus Dispatch 24/7. The activation of thesesystems should only be for Emergencies: crime in progress, medical emergencies, andsuspicious person/vehicle calls. Should you accidently activate one in the classroom a policeofficer will be dispatched regardless of your response and comments (i.e. It’s OK). Officers mayor may not enter the classroom to assess the situation when they arrive.Safety Escort / Disability Shuttle Service: Safety can be called for a safe escort to your car orclass, also in the case of disability assistance. Security staff may arrive by electric cart, on foot oron a bike depending on the request. The shuttle may take a few minutes but will arrive as soonas resources allow.Building Lockdown: In the unlikely event of a violent incident involving an immediate threat,Public Safety or other college officials may order a lockdown of the campus. Notification of thelockdown may come from several sources including telephones, ALERTUS beacons or pages tostudent and employee cellular phones. If a lockdown is ordered: Locate a safe classroom, office, or meeting roomAssist others in moving to the safe roomLock the door if possibleClose any window shades in the roomTurn off all lights if possibleMove away from doors and windowsRemain in the safe location and quietly await further instructionsDuring a lockdown, the Public Safety office should only be contacted in an emergency, such as aserious injury or if you have additional information on a suspect’s location.Active Shooter Response: Three aspects to remember are run, hide, and fightIf you can escape, do so – run8 PageScottsdale Community College
Know at least two exits out of your room/building Take different routes into and out of your room/building to develop familiarity withavenues of escapeLeave your belongings and get outIf you encounter responding police officers, raise hands and follow their orders If you are unable to run – hide Lock doors (block if unable to lock), turn off lights, silence cell phonesLocate areas inside your room/building where you can hideDo not “bunch up” – spread outTurn off lights, silence cell phonesIf you cannot run and you have been discovered – be prepared to fight Locate items inside your room/building that could be used as weaponsDo whatever you have to do to incapacitate the shooterDo not be tentative – commit to actionOther important things to know: The first police officers on scene will not render aid or stop to help the injured – theywill be focused on finding the shooter and stopping any future injuries (victims will betreated/evacuated when additional officers arrive)Responding officers will not necessarily know who the shooter is – everyone theyencounter may be a threatRemain calm and follow the officers’ instructionsDrop items in your handsKeep your hands visibleAvoid quick movements toward officers (do not reach for or grab them)Be prepared to provide as much information as you can to help the officers find theshooterHelpful links to review for your safety: y-procedures what-to-do-in-an-activeshooter-situationYouTube has several good videos produced by police departments that can be accessed bysearching “run hide fight” in the YouTube search barStudents are responsible for the information contained in this syllabus.The information in this syllabus is subject to change based on the discretion of the instructor.9 PageScottsdale Community College
