| V. Evaluation: | |||||||||
| A. Testing Procedures: | |||||||||
| At least 4 tests will be given. Tests may only be made up for excused absences. An excused absence is one that can be verified by supporting documentation. Failure to make a passing test average will result in a grade of F for the course. | |||||||||
| B. Laboratory Expectations: | |||||||||

A
88 – 92 B+ 83 – 87 B 78 – 82 C+ 73 – 77 C 65 – 72 D Below 65 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 (Pellissippi State Catalog). | |||||||||
| B. Academic Dishonesty: | |||||||||
| Plagiarism, cheating and other forms of academic dishonesty are prohibited. A student guilty of academic misconduct, either directly or indirectly through participation or assistance, is immediately responsible to the instructor of the class.
