*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),

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) (80%) (10%) (10%) The number of tests vary from 5 to 7. The quizzes and homework percentages depends on the instructor.
	B. Laboratory Expectations:
		Twelve experiments are designed for the course. Each experiment requires a word-processed 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 : A 77-81 : C+ 87- 91 : B+ 70-77 : C 81- 87 : B 60-70 : D
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.
