| V. Evaluation: | |||||||||
| A. Testing Procedures: | |||||||||
| Exams will comprise 50% of the final grade. Three exams will be given during the course of the semester. The first two exams are worth 150 points. The final exam is comprehensive and is worth 200 points. There will be no make-up tests unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor. | |||||||||
| B. Laboratory Expectations: | |||||||||
| Programming assignments will be made during the course of the semester. A late penalty may be imposed on any overdue assignment. Failure to satisfactorily complete all labs may result in a grade of F in the course. Labs will count for 400 points (40%) of the final grade. | |||||||||
| C. Field Work: | |||||||||
| N/A | |||||||||
| D. Other Evaluation Methods: | |||||||||
| A number of quizzes and short assignments may be assigned throughout the semester. Most of these will be announced in the class/lab in which they are to be completed and graded. | |||||||||
| E. Grading Scale: | |||||||||
| 93 100

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. In addition to other possible disciplinary sanctions that may be imposed through the regular Pellissippi State procedures as a result of academic misconduct, the instructor has the authority to assign an F or a zero for the exercise or examination or to assign an F in the course. | |||||||||
