As a student in an E-course you have your share of responsibilities.
Always adhere to the Academic Honesty Policy for this course. You are being entrusted with a huge responsibility and being asked to make your own guarantee that the integrity of this course, as well as your own personal integrity, is not compromised.
You are responsible for giving yourself ample time with the course material and to be prepared to take the practice tests for the purpose of testing your strength of knowledge of that material. These practice tests have been designed to help you before you have to take the actual test.
You are responsible for taking your tests as scheduled. You are given a large window of opportunity in which to take your tests plus the luxury of taking them online. Failure to take a test as scheduled results in a grade of zero for that test.
You are responsible for making sure your quiz scores are accurately recorded on ANGEL. It is suggested you print completed quizzes just in case ANGEL fails to show the proper score. These can be used to replace a 'locked' symbol with your properly earned score.
You are responsible to make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements for using GCSC's ANGEL system. These requirements can be viewed on ANGEL or by following the link http://angel.gulfcoast.edu/
You are responsible for putting yourself in a secure testing environment. That is, in a place where you don't get "knocked off line" or distracted in any way. If you do not have such an environment at home you are welcome to come to main campus and use the computers in our Library. [Note: A student is only permitted one reset of a test for the entire semester.]
You are responsible for beginning your test with ample time to spare. Starting the test 1 or 2 hours before the deadline can be a grievous mistake. If you happen to get knocked off line or somehow disconnected you may not have enough time to complete the test. It is highly recommended you do not wait until the last few hours to take your test.
You are responsible for withdrawing yourself from this course. If you need to withdraw, or simply desire to withdraw, you are responsible for contacting your instructor(s).
