Class Participation:
There may come times during our class that I would like to engage in class discussion, whether it is about
the material or about any music events occurring in the media. If asked to contribute, please respond in
order to further discussion and provide insight. If you miss a class, you will be counted absent for

Academic Integrity
The instructor has the primary responsibility for identifying and responding to clear instances of student
plagiarism and/or cheating. Plagiarism is defined as offering another(s) work as one(s) own without
appropriate acknowledgment. Cheating may be defined as dishonesty of any kind in a student's academic
program (e.g., unauthorized copying from another(s) work, alteration of official grades, etc.). A student
shall neither give nor receive unauthorized aid on any assignment. Evidence of cheating, plagiarism or
multiple submissions of assignment will lead to grade 0 (zero) in that assignment.
Additional Instructor's Guidelines:
The Internet is a valid tool of research and I encourage you to use it. However, be sure to use reliable
sources. Cite your sources! This means that it is extremely important that any direct quote from printed
material or any web site be cited as a reference source. The extracted text should be preceded by and
should end with quotation marks. You must also include footnote or end note indicating the origin of the
quote, failing to do so characterizes plagiarism.
Cell Phones:
Cell phones should be turned off and set on “vibrate” after entering the classroom. No texting will be
allowed during class time. If you have an unforeseen emergency, please let me know immediately.
Additional information on the appropriate use of electronic devices while in school can be found in your
Gladiator Student Planner.
Please be respectful. In other words – please refrain from using cell/mobile phones and media devices.
Laptops are permissible as long as you are only taking notes in class. Students will be dismissed from
class for any violation of this policy.
Other Matters:
We are guests in Room 3104 which means that all furniture, equipment and textbooks, etc. found in this
room must be respected and cared for. This means NO FOOD, DRINK OR GUM in the room at any time.
All paper must be thrown in the trash and removed from the floor. Please report any discrepancies that
you find in your area of the room to the instructor immediately.
Iif any problems arise for you during the semester i.e. if you are unable to attend class, or if you need any
clarification on anything, please feel free to e-mail me: aparra@dadeschools.net
