| V. Evaluation: | |||||||||
| A. Testing Procedures: | |||||||||
| Two examinations
are scheduled. They will be True/False, Multiple Choice, Matching,
and Short Answer Essay. Students may make up one exam due to
absences.
Examination will normally be given as scheduled. Should a student have a planned vacation, operation, etc. occur during a scheduled exam, every effort should be made to take the exam prior to the scheduled absence. When a student misses an exam due to illness, he must contact the instructor immediately upon return and make-up the exam within one week. |
|||||||||
| B. Laboratory Expectations: | |||||||||
| Quizzes:
Quizzes may be given by the instructor. Most quizzes will be unscheduled and randomly given. They cover the previous sessions material or the reading assignment for that day. There is no make-up or extra credit given for quizzes missed. Written Assignments: Students may be required to hand in answers to select questions at the end of each chapter or other appropriate homework at the instructor's discretion. All written assignments must be handed in on 8 x 11 engineering notepad, typing paper, or forms provided by your instructor. Students are encouraged to use word processing to generate their reports. All written assignments will be assessed a 10% penalty for each school day it is date. All student work submitted for evaluation may be retained by the instructor. |
|||||||||
| C. Field Work: | |||||||||
| Semester Project: Each student will complete and present a Construction Schedule and budget as required by the instructor. | |||||||||
| D. Other Evaluation Methods: | |||||||||
| A subjective evaluation based on attendance, classroom participation and attitude may be included (10%). | |||||||||
| E. Grading Scale: | |||||||||
| Final
grades will be computed from the grades obtained on homework, quizzes and
examinations as follows:
Quizzes & Homework = 10% - 20% Semester Project = 25% - 30% Examinations = 40% - 50% Grades are based on the following:
|
|||||||||
| 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 (Pellissippi State Catalog).
Individual departments/programs/disciplines, with the approval of the vice
president of Academic and Student Affairs, may have requirements that ar
more stringent.
It is the student's responsibility to attend every scheduled class activity on time. Students are responsible to get assignments missed and to make-up any work missed during an absence. |
|||||||||
| B. Academic Dishonesty: | |||||||||
| To use any form of unauthorized aid (notes, text, etc.) during a quiz or obtain any form of help from another student during testing is considered a form of cheating. Any time any form of cheating is observed the student will receive a 0 on that quiz or test. | |||||||||
