| III. Instructional Processes*: | |||||||||
| Students will: | |||||||||
| 1. | Learn in a cooperative mode by working in small groups with other students and exchanging ideas within each group (or sometimes collectively) while being coached by the instructor who provides assistance when needed. Communication Outcome, Active Learning Strategy, Problem Solving and Decision Making Outcome | ||||||||
| 2. | Learn by being a problem solver rather than being lectured. Active Learning Strategy, Problem Solving and Decision Making Outcome | ||||||||
| 3. | Explore and seek the solutions to given problems (simple to more advanced) that measures the students’ level of accomplishment. Problem Solving and Decision Making Outcome | ||||||||
| 4. | Visit industry sites or will be visited by persons from industry who apply the concepts being learned at work. Transitional Strategy | ||||||||
| 5. | Gradually be given higher- and higher-level problems to promote his/her critical thinking ability. Personal Development Outcome, Problem Solving and Decision Making Outcome | ||||||||
| 6. | Be tested more frequently for progress assessment while working independently on test problems. Problem Solving and Decision Making Outcome | ||||||||
| 7. | Get engaged in learning processes such as projects, mentoring, apprenticeships, and research activities as time allows. Communications Outcome, Personal Development Outcome, Transitional Strategy | ||||||||
| 8. | Use computers with appropriate software during class or lab as a boost to learning process. Information Literacy Outcome, Technological Literacy Outcome | ||||||||
| *Strategies and outcomes listed after instructional processes reference Pellissippi State’s goals for strengthening general education knowledge and skills, connecting coursework to experiences beyond the classroom, and encouraging students to take active and responsible roles in the educational process. | |||||||||

| V. Evaluation: | |||||||||
| A. Testing Procedures: | |||||||||
| Students
are primarily evaluated on the basis of test/quiz type assessments and
homework as outlined on the syllabus supplement distributed by the instructor.
The following formula is used to evaluate the course grade: Course Grade = (0.75) x (Theory Grade) + (0.25)
x (Lab Grade)
The number of tests vary from 5 to 7 at the discretion of instructor. The quizzes and homework percentages may vary depending on the instructor. |
|||||||||
| B. Laboratory Expectations: | |||||||||
| Ten experiments
are designed for the course. Each experiment requires a word-processed
report which must be at least spell-checked. Other procedures for
a standard lab report will be given by your instructor. No late lab report
will be accepted and there are No Lab Make-ups.
Lab Grade = (the sum of report grades) / (the number of the reports) |
|||||||||
| C. Field Work: | |||||||||
| Site Visits: The necessary site visits will be announced as the arrangements are made. Evaluation will be based on of attendance as well as the visit report. | |||||||||
| D. Other Evaluation Methods: | |||||||||
| N/A | |||||||||
| E. Grading Scale: | |||||||||
|
91-100 : A 77-81 : C+
87-91 : B+ 70-77 : C 81-87 : B 60-70 : D |
|||||||||
| VI. Policies: | |||||||||
| 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 meeting in order to receive credit for the course. Individual department/programs/disciplines, with the approval to the vice president to Academic and Student Affairs, may have requirements that are more stringent | |||||||||
