As a student you may experience a range of issues that can cause barriers to learning, such as strained relationships, increased anxiety, alcohol/drug problems, feeling down, difficulty concentrating and/or lack of motivation. These mental health concerns or stressful events may lead to diminished academic performance or reduce a student's ability to participate in daily activities. Amarillo College offers services to assist you with addressing these and other concerns you may be experiencing. If you or someone you know are suffering from any of the aforementioned conditions, you can learn more about the broad range of confidential mental health services available on campus by calling the AC Counseling Center at 806-371-5900.

In order to receive your AC Connect Email, you must log in through AC Connect at https://acconnect.actx.edu .
If you are an active staff or faculty member according to Human Resources, use "Exchange". All other students, use "AC Connect (Google) Email".
In the context of discussions, I expect students to respect each other's opinions and to give each other space to disagree without becoming hostile or angry. I expect homework to be done on time.
Your homework grades will depend on two things: correct answers, and the effort you put into writing the anwers. It is possible to give a correct answer in one sentence. However, the person who gets the most points for the question will be the one who not only gives the correct answer, but shows me that she/he has read the assignment, thought about it, and has something to say about it. That takes more than one sentence. Your homework and discussions will make up 50% of your grade, the final exam will make up 30%, and your Field Project will make up 20%.
Homework assignments and discussions have deadlines, so students must log into the class and post their work in order to get a grade for the week.
The Instructor reserves the right to change the syllabus and/or calendar if needed.
