V. Evaluation:
A. Testing Procedures: 75% of grade
There will be 7 lecture exams including a comprehensive final exam, and 3 laboratory 
practical exams.  The lecture exams will be a mix of short answer and multiple choice 
questions, while the laboratory practical exams will be all short answer exams.  All 
lecture exams are worth 100 points and all laboratory practical exams are worth 60 points.  There will be NO MAKE-UP EXAMS given. If all exams are attempted, the lowest exam score will be dropped.  If for any reason an exam is not attempted, that exam will be  used as the drop exam.  However, the comprehensive final exam must be attempted and cannot be dropped.  There will be 150 points of quizzes and/ or homework given throughout the semester in lecture.

Exam Ch. 17 = 100 pts.
Exam Ch. 19,20 = 100 pts.
Exam Ch. 18,21,22 = 100 pts.
Exam Ch. 23,24,25 = 100 pts.
Exam Ch. 26,27 = 100 pts.
Exam Ch. 28,29 = 100 pts.
Quizzes/Assignments =150 pts.
Comprehensive Exam = 100 pts.

Lecture is worth 750 points or 75% of the grade.

B. Laboratory Expectations: 25% of grade
 Students are expected to attend lab every week and complete the laboratory 
activities assigned to each lab as noted on the laboratory handouts.  Student work will be 
checked by the lab instructor before the student may leave the laboratory each week. 
Completed laboratory handouts are worth 8% of the lab grade. Also, students are to complete case histories each week and turn into the lab instructor.  The case histories are worth 20% of the lab grade.  The remainder of the laboratory grade is earned on the laboratory practical exams worth 72% of the lab grade.

  Practical 1 = 60 pts.
  Practical 2 = 60 pts.
  Practical 3 = 60 pts.
  Case Studies = 50 pts.
  Lab Handouts = 20 pts.

Laboratory is worth 250 points or 25% of the grade.

C. Field Work:
Case Histories assigned in laboratory require research using reference books in the 
library or on the World Wide Web. A list of suggested references will be handed out 
during the beginning of the semester.
D. Other Evaluation Methods:
Extra Credit: There may be a total not exceeding 4% of possible lecture points 
(30 points) offered in lecture and a total not exceeding 4% of possible laboratory points 
(10 points) offered in laboratory.
E. Grading Scale:
There will be a total of 1000 points offered in the course (750 pts. in lecture, 250 pts. 
in laboratory).  In order to pass the course, the student must earn 60% of the points offered in both lecture and laboratory sections of the course.  If this has been achieved, then the points earned from lecture and laboratory will be added together and compared to the following grading scale:

900-1000 points     (90%-100%)     =      A
870-899 points       (87-89.9%)       =       B+
800-869 points       (80-86.9%)       =       B
770-799 points       (77-79.9%)       =       C+
700-769 points       (70-76.9%)       =       C
600-699 points       (60-69.9%)       =       D
599 or less points  (<60 %)            =       F

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. 
B. Academic Dishonesty:
Plagiarism or cheating will not be tolerated.  Students will receive a zero for the assignment.  A second offense will result in automatic failure of the course.
C. Other Policies:
Visitors:  No visitors are allowed in lecture or laboratory unless given permission by the 
instructor.
