V. Evaluation:
	A. Testing Procedures:
		The evaluation in the classroom will be determined by a combination of chapter tests, homework, and a final exam.  The percentage that each of these factors count and the frequency of tests and homework is left to the discretion of the instructor, but the following is offered as a guide: Chapter Tests: 60% Homework and Quizzes 10% Lab 10% Final Exam 20%
	B. Laboratory Expectations:
		The laboratories for all EET courses are an essential part of conveying the concepts to the student. The labs may vary at the discretion of the instructor, but will closely follow the classes in content and in time of presentation so that the student is actually verifying these concepts for himself or herself. The student will be able to apply the theory learned in class. Use of the English language will be evaluated when reviewing the lab reports.

		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 Misconduct:
		Academic misconduct committed either directly or indirectly by an individual or group is subject to disciplinary action. Prohibited activities include but are not limited to the following practices: Cheating, including but not limited to unauthorized assistance from material, people, or devices when taking a test, quiz, or examination; writing papers or reports; solving problems; or completing academic assignments. In addition to other possible disciplinary sanctions that may be imposed as a result of academic misconduct, the instructor has the authority to assign either (1) an F or zero for the assignment or (2) an F for the course.
	C. Accommodations for Disabilities:
		If you need accommodations 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. Please see the instructor privately after class or in his/her office. Students must present a current accommodation plan from a staff member in Services for Students with Disabilities (SSWD) in order to receive accommodations in this course.
