F. Prescriptive Tutoring
The Center for Academic Achievement (CAA) wants you to succeed in your courses. You have a
part to play in determining your own academic success:
1. Attend every class.
2. Do your work and study.
3. Talk to your professor about what you need to do to be successful in the course.
Your professor may determine that you can benefit by additional academic support and refer
you for Prescriptive Tutoring. Prescriptive Tutoring is your academic support service that can
help you to strengthen specific skills. Your instructor will complete a Faculty Referral for
Prescriptive Tutoring form specifying exactly what concepts or skills you will work on when you
meet with a tutor. Bring this referral form to the designated Tutoring Center to get your
appointment to work with a Prescriptive Tutor. You may want to set up a tutoring schedule for
the entire semester.
Tutoring Centers:
 Writing and Reading
 Developmental Mathematics
 Mathematics credit courses
 Science Resource Learning Center
 Business, Accounting and Technology Lab
 Computer Aided Drafting & Design (CADD Lab)
Main Building, room 102
Main Building, room 104
Life Sciences Building, room 250
Life Sciences Building, room 302
Main Building, room 320
Main Building, room 053
We also provide tutoring support for students taking courses in the social and behavioral
sciences, nursing, and surgical technology.
Your tutoring centers provide academic support services for students of all abilities. Tutoring
services are free, supportive and conducive to learning. All tutoring centers can accommodate all
students to ensure they have equal access to educational opportunities.
Study Skills Workshops and Study Groups:
Our Keys to Success Study Skills Workshops are excellent opportunities to learn more about
effective study skills, time management, stress management and test taking. Do you know how
much you can learn by studying with a study group? The CAA staff can show you how to form a
study group and good study group principles to follow.
You can call the CAA main office to get more information about any of our services or
activities: 410-462-8222.
III. ACADEMIC, DEPARTMENTAL/PROGRAM AND COLLEGE-WIDE POLICIES:*
A. ACADEMIC DISHONESTY/CHEATING/PLAGIARISM POLICY: PLAGIARISM
POLICY
Baltimore City Community College considers academic dishonesty to be a serious problem.
Therefore, faculty members in the Department of English, Humanities, and Languages will
familiarize all students with specific types of academic dishonesty. They will then inform
students that any incident of plagiarism, cheating or fabrication is unacceptable and subject to
penalty. For example, plagiarism in an assigned paper will assure failure on the assignment, and
repeated cheating on tests may result in failure in any given course. Each instructor will deal
appropriately with each situation as it arises; he/she will then discuss the incident with the
department chairperson.
THREE FORMS OF ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: ** Adapted from the University of
Maryland’s policy on Academic Dishonesty
1. PLAGIARISM: Knowingly presenting another person’s ideas or words, completely or partial,
as one’s own work in any written assignment. Plagiarism can be avoided by properly
identifying all sources in work submitted as in a direct quotation or a paraphrase.
Example of a DIRECT QUOTATION: . . . All territorial situations do not elicit the same
response from people. “Individuals seem to recognize that in some environments wariness is
particularly important, constant monitoring and scanning must be sustained, and any untoward
event calls forth a quick and full reaction.”
(From Erving Goffman, Relations in Public. New York: Harper & Row Publishers, 1971, p.54).
Example of PARAPHRASE: . . . Erikson suggests that in emphasizing children’s dependence
adults, we frequently ignore how much older people need younger people.
(From Erik H. Erikson, Childhood and Society, Second Edition, New York: W.W. Norton and
Company, Inc., 1963, p. 266.)
Actual quotation: “The fashionable insistence dramatizing the dependence of children on adults
often blinds us to the older generations on the younger one.”
2. CHEATING: Intentionally using unauthorized material such as a study or memory aids in a
test or quiz, or deliberately copying answers from another paper.
3. FABRICATION: Deliberately falsifying or inventing any information e.g., inclusion of a
nonexistent research study in a term paper.
Your instructor reserves the right to submit your written assignments to SafeAssignment, a
plagiarism detection system.
B. Attendance Policy
All students are expected to attend all class sessions. Regular attendance on time in all classes
is a minimum academic obligation and is considered by the College to be an integral and vital
aspect of the learning process. Regular attendance relates positively to student success; students
who attend class regularly are more likely to earn satisfactory grades in their courses. Tardiness
or failure to attend class may seriously jeopardize your performance in this class as well as your
academic standing.The student is responsible for the content presented and/or assigned even if
class is missed because of late registration, illness, or any other factor. (Further details are
available in the BCCC Student Handbook.) Note: The attendance policy in online courses will
be specified by individual instructors; however, in general, students in online courses are
expected to check their Blackboard-registered email accounts and the Aplia and Blackboard
course sites once each weekday and once on weekends.
C. Late Work
Late work is any work submitted (or attempted to be submitted) even one second past an
instructor-established deadline. Students who have what the instructor deems to be verifiable
written documentation of a legitimate absence (e.g., court, military, medical—NOT work,
vacation, childcare, computer/internet problems, or similar excuses) may submit work late and
take make-ups. (Alternate formats are used for make-ups.) The student must submit the
documentation within one day of return to class. Students not meeting this standard may not
submit late work or take make-ups. This rule is now enforced throughout the Developmental
Writing program.
D. Revisions
Essays 1, 2, and 3 can be revised once if the original writing receives a score below 70%. The
revised score will be no higher than 70%. Revised writings must be submitted by the deadlines
established by your instructor. To qualify as revised, an assignment must be substantially
rewritten in accordance with the instructor's directives on the original assignment.
E. Assignment Format and Submission
Please carefully follow assignment directions. Otherwise, your assignment could be
rejected for improper format and/or submission practices. Individual assignment
specifications will be made at the time of assignment. However, please know that most writing
assignments must be neatly composed (you are responsible for adhering to college-level typing
standards) in black, 12 point, Times New Roman font. (An essay format model is included in
Write 2.) Writing assignments must also be saved in rich text, not Works, WordPerfect, or
some other word processing program. Your instructor will detail how he/she wishes
assignments to be submitted.
F. Inclement Weather Policy
Closing or delayed openings caused by inclement weather are announced for day, weekend, and
evening off-campus classes on WBAL (1090 AM), WBJC (91.5 FM), WBAL (TV 11), WMAR
(TV2), WJZ (TV 13), and WBFF (for TV 45) starting at 6:00 A.M. Announcements for
evening classes start by 3:00 P.M. Messages will also be posted on the College website at
www.bccc.edu and on the information line at (410) 462-8300.
G. Blackboard
Every class at BCCC has a Blackboard site. Your instructor will use your Blackboard site to
post handouts and announcements and, possibly, for other course-related activities.
H. Class Withdrawal Policy
Students should discuss any consideration of withdrawal with the instructor prior to completing
the withdrawal process. Failure to file an ADD/DROP Form will result in F grades and a bill
for the courses. (Further details are available in the Financial Aid Office, Main Building, Rm.023).
I. Issuance of an “I” Grade or Incomplete
College policy states that the “I” grade is to be given only when the student has completed
satisfactorily all but the last evaluative measure of the course, and that for reasons beyond
his/her control, the student should receive the temporary grade of “I.” The outstanding
requirement(s) must be completed by the sixth week of the next semester; if not, the “I” grade
will automatically be changed to an “F.” One copy of this form should be retained by the
instructor, one copy should be turned in to the Registrar’s Office with the final grades, and if
desired, one copy may be duplicated for the student. As soon as the requirements are met the
instructor’s copy should be returned to the Registrar’s Office to execute the grade change.
J. Special Needs/Disability Access Policy
It is the policy of Baltimore City Community College to provide reasonable accommodations
for students with a documented disability. I encourage students with documented disabilities,
including non-visible disabilities such as chronic diseases, learning disabilities, head injury,
attention deficit disorder, psychiatric disabilities, to notify Disability Support Services Center
located in the Main Building 023, (410) 462-8556; TTY (410) 462-8485, of any special needs.
I rely on DSSC for assistance in verifying the need for accommodations and developing
accommodation strategies.
K. Sexual Harassment Policy
Baltimore City Community College (BCCC) is committed to maintaining a working and
learning environment in which faculty, staff, and students can develop intellectually,
professionally, personally, and socially free from intimidation, fear, coercion, and reprisal.
BCCC will not tolerate sexual harassment, which is a form of gender discrimination and illegal.
Sexual harassment by BCCC faculty, staff, students, volunteers, and contractors is expressly
prohibited. Students are strongly encouraged to forward all complaints of sexual harassment to
the Director of Human Resources.
L. Academic Grievances Policy
If a student has sufficient evidence that his/her grades have not been determined in accordance
with the terms set out in the Instructor’s Course Syllabus, the student may seek resolution
through the instructor, academic department, the academic division, and the Academic Vice
President respectively. If no resolution is accomplished, the student is encouraged to seek
guidance from the Director for Student Activities.
M. Students Rights and Responsibilities
Every student who has chosen to attend Baltimore City Community College has the right to
pursue the educational path he/she has chosen without hindrance, disruption, or interruption.
When students are admitted to the College, they accept the rights and responsibilities of
membership in the College’s academic and social community. Students are encouraged to read
the BCCC Student Handbook for further information on the Conduct Policy, Disruptive
Behavior Policy, and Student Computer Use Policy.
*Your instructor will inform you in writing of any additional course policies and/or procedures.
Reminders: All work must be completed according to the assigned schedule, unless otherwise
announced. The student is expected to keep up with all the work by giving him/herself
adequate time to “read, reason upon, write, and submit” the assignments. If the student does not
pace him/herself throughout the course, he/she may be unable to complete the course
satisfactorily. Children, visitors, and other unauthorized persons are not permitted in the
classroom. Please disengage all mobile phones and other electronics during class!
IV. COURSE EXPECTATION FORM: Every student is expected to read all material
