| V. Evaluation: | |||||||||
| A. Testing Procedures: | |||||||||
| The
evaluation in the classroom will be determined by a combination of chapter
tests, homework, and a final exam. The percentage that each of these
factors count and the frequency of tests and homework is left to the discretion
of the instructor, but the following is offered as a guide:
Chapter Tests: after 1 or 2 chapters
60% to 80%
|
|||||||||
| B. Laboratory Expectations: | |||||||||
| The laboratories
for all EET courses are an essential part of conveying the concepts to
the student.
The labs may vary at the discretion of the instructor, but will closely follow the classes in content and in time of presentation so that the student is actually verifying these concepts for himself or herself. The student will be able to apply the theory learned in class. Use of the English language will be evaluated when reviewing the lab reports. Week Lab Exercise 1 Operation of oscilloscopes, function |

| C. Field Work: Computer Usage | |||||||||
| Students are assigned specific problems to be solved using True Basic or PSPICE on PCs available in the EET department labs or open labs. | |||||||||
| D. Grading Scale: | |||||||||
| Grades
for the course will be determined as follows:
93 - 100 A

|||||||||
| VI. Policies: | |||||||||
| A. Attendance Policy: | |||||||||
| Pellissippi State Technical Community College expects students to attend all scheduled instructional activities. As a minimum, students in all courses must be present for at least 75 percent of their scheduled class and laboratory meetings in order to receive credit for the course. Individual departments/programs/disciplines, with the approval of the vice president of Academic and Student Affairs, may have requirements that are more stringent. | |||||||||
| B. Academic Dishonesty: | |||||||||
| The policy stated in the Student Handbook (found in the PSTCC catalog) will be followed in the event of cheating. | |||||||||
