Tutoring Protocols
Plagiarism is knowingly submitting someone else's ideas, words, or code as your own. It is intentional deception, and it undermines your learning. If I suspect plagiarism, I will meet with you to verify that the work is yours.
You may use AI tools for learning or research, but you are responsible for checking their accuracy. All submitted work must be your own. Submitting AI-generated work will be treated as academic dishonesty.
These restrictions ensure that you build real understanding of technical concepts and problem-solving skills. Software Development and Data Analytics require active engagement, critical thinking, and hands-on practice. Prohibiting AI-generated text helps you develop debugging skills, algorithmic thinking, creativity, and the ability to apply concepts independently.
Relying on your own effort and collaborating with peers prepares you for real-world work where coding proficiency matters. While AI tools have their place, this course focuses on building a strong foundation you can use in future academic and professional settings.
Seek help from the instructor, tutors, peers, and course materials whenever needed. Embrace the learning process and persist through challenges.
If any submitted work is not your own, the assignment will receive a zero. Repeat offenses will result in failing the course.
Grading in this course consists of your demonstrated competency and professionalism. If you have any questions or concerns about a course grade, talk to the instructor within two weeks of receiving the grade. A passing grade consists of a 1.0 or higher.

Counseling Services provides short-term mental health counseling and self-care/wellness education to Green River students. Workshops and consultation services are offered for staff, faculty, and student organizations. Services are free and confidential.
Counseling Services are provided by licensed psychologists, social workers, and professional mental health therapists. We are here to help by providing support to explore emotional concerns, developing new awareness and skills, and mobilizing your existing strengths, qualities and abilities. While some people who seek counseling have chronic emotional difficulties, most are dealing with normal life events and are simply in need of an objective listener - someone who doesn't judge and who can help you see new alternatives.
