| 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 ( Active Learning Strategy), | ||||||||
| 2. | learn by being a problem solver rather than being lectured ( Active Learning Strategy), | ||||||||
| 3. | explore and seek solutions to given problems that measures his/her level of accomplishment ( Active Learning Strategy), | ||||||||
| 4. | visit industry sites or will be visited by a person from industry who applies the concepts being learned at his/her work site ( Transitional Strategy), | ||||||||
| 5. | gradually be given higher- and higher-level problems to promote his/her critical thinking ability ( Active Learning Strategy), | ||||||||
| 6. | search for the solution to the assigned projects by examining the available software and resources. (Transitional Strategy), | ||||||||

| 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) Theory Grade = 0.80 (Tests + Quizzes + H.W. ) + 0.20 (Comprehensive
Final)
The number of tests vary from 5 to 7 at the discretion
of instructor.
|
|||||||||
| B. Laboratory Expectations: | |||||||||
| Ten experiments
are designed for the course. Each experiment requires a report that
must be at least spell-checked. Other procedures for a standard lab
report will be given by your instructor To avoid a ZERO Laboratory Grade,
at least 6 reports must be turned in. No late lab report(s) 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

|||||||||
| 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. Individual departments/programs/disciplines, with the approval of the vice president of Academic and Student Affairs, may have requirements that are more stringent. | |||||||||
| B. Academic Dishonesty: | |||||||||
| Plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of academic dishonesty are prohibited. Students guilty of academic misconduct, either directly or indirectly through participation or assistance, are immediately responsible to the instructor of the class. In addition to other possible disciplinary sanctions which 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. | |||||||||
| C. Accommodations for disabilities: | |||||||||
| If you
need accommodation because of a disability, if you have emergency medical
information to share, or if you need special arrangements in case the building
must be evacuated, please inform the instructor immediately. Privately
after class or in the instructor's office.
To request accommodations students must register with Services for Students with Disabilities: Goins 127 or 131, Phone: (865) 539-7153 or (865) 694-6751 Voice/TDD. |
