| V. Evaluation: | |||||||||
| A. Testing Procedures: 70% of grade | |||||||||
| The student's progress will be evaluated by 4 exams (40% of grade) and an additional comprehensive final exam (30% of grade). | |||||||||
| B. Laboratory Expectations: 20% of grade | |||||||||
| The laboratory work will comprise 20% of the course grade and the grade will be based on the laboratory problems submitted. Assigned laboratory work will follow the lecture subjects closely. Computations may be completed out-of-class but attendance at all laboratory sessions is required. | |||||||||
| C. Field Work: 10% of grade | |||||||||
| Homework assignments are an important part of this course and all homework assignments completed and submitted will be graded "A" and will comprise up to 10% of the course grade (as calculated below). Outside readings and library research will be required in this course. A report on an assigned topic may be required. | |||||||||
| D. Grading Scale: | |||||||||
| The course
numerical grade will be calculated using the formula below:
G = 10 * H/HM + (.4 * (T(1) + T(2) + ... T(N))/N + .3 * F + .2 * L) / (.9 + .1 H/HM) where G = the numerical grade H = the homework grade HM = the maximum homework grade attainable T( i )= the grade on exam number i N = number of exams (excluding the final exam) F = the grade on the final exam L = the laboratory grade. Letter grades will be awarded based on the following schedule:

| VI. Policies: | |||||||||
| A. Attendance Policy: | |||||||||
| Pellissippi
State Technical Community College expects students to attend all scheduled
instructional activities. As a minimum, students must be present
for at least 75 percent of the 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 are
more stringent.
Chemical/Environmental Engineering Technology Program: Regular attendance in this course is required. Students who miss the equivalent of 10% of either classroom hours or laboratory may, at the discretion of the instructor, have their course grade dropped by one letter. Students who arrive late for a class after the roll as been called have the responsibility of seeing the instructor after class the change their status from A (absent) to T (tardy). |
|||||||||
| B. Academic Dishonesty: | |||||||||
| In keeping with college-wide policies, the student is expected to adhere to the general rules and regulations relevant to academic and classroom misconduct as outline in the catalog. | |||||||||
