Attendance:
Attendance is mandatory for the successful completion of this
course. A maximum of 2 absences
are allowed if properly documented. Two tardy arrivals are equal to one
absence. Students accumulating more than 2 undocumented absences may be
withdrawn from class at the instructor's discretion. Notify the
instructor if you must be absent. It is the student's responsibility to
obtain make-up work, missed lecture notes, and to ensure proper credit
for attendance when arriving late.
Grading
Policy:
A combination of theory tests, and class projects will determine your
grade. Classroom participation counts too!
No make-up exams will be given without prior consent of the
instructor. There is 10-points penalty for any make-up exams.
No late assignment will be accepted,
and any and all unethical activity will be penalized with a grade of F
Note:
No "Incomplete" grade will be given without documentation of
death in the family or documented hospitalization of the student. Any
dispute over final grades must be resolved within 30 days of your posted
grade. After that time, all test and assignment materials may be
destroyed.
Instructions will be given verbally as well
as written. You are responsible for taking notes during lectures,
reading the text, working exercises, and completing all assignments by
the assigned due date. It will be very difficult for you to successfully
complete this course without your active participation.
Question/Answer:
The first 15 minutes of the class will be reserved for individual
questions on past lecture.
Caution: Learning
is not a spectator sport. You are required to think and work in a
scholarly manner during this course. You are responsible for your
learning.
Refund/Withdrawal:
Withdrawal: Students should familiarize themselves with the
college's withdrawal dates, policy and procedures that are explained in
the college catalog and student handbook. Please advise the instructor
if you wish to withdraw during the withdrawal deadline as specified in
the college calendar. Student and instructor must fill out appropriate
paperwork.
