| V. Evaluation: | |||||||||
| A. Testing Procedures: | |||||||||
| There will be three tests which count 100 points each. Tests will cover material presented in class. The tests will be cumulative in as much as the material builds upon itself. Tests are not to be missed without a valid excuse. In the unlikely event that an emergency does occur, it is the student's responsibility to contact the instructor before test time. There will be no make-up tests unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor. | |||||||||
| B. Laboratory Expectations: | |||||||||
| Assignments will be given and must be completed and submitted on or before the due date. Two points per day will be deducted on late labs. The lab assignments will total 200 to 250 points. | |||||||||
| C. Field Work: | |||||||||
| None | |||||||||
| D. Other Evaluation Methods: | |||||||||
| Quizzes and homework assignments will be given which will total 50 to 100 points. | |||||||||
| E. Grading Scale: | |||||||||
| Grades
are determined according to the percentage of total possible points you
have earned.
90% and Above A 80% - 89.9% B 70% - 79.9% C 60% - 69.9% D Below 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.
Attendance of each class and lab is expected. If a class is missed, students are encouraged to make up all work. |
