V. Evaluation:
	A. Testing Procedures: 80% of grade
			Chapter Tests:    50%  Homework and Quizzes  10% Final Exam    20%
	B. Laboratory Expectations: 20% of grade
		The laboratories for all Electrical Engineering Technology courses are an essential part of conveying the concepts to the student. The labs would closely follow the classes in content and in time of presentation so that the student is actually verifying these concepts to his or her self.  The student will be able to apply the theory learned in class.  The laboratory grade will be determined by a combination of performance within the lab and the quality and demonstrated comprehension of the lab report.  There will be at least twelve labs during the semester to go along with the classroom material.  Performance in labs (subjective):  50%  Lab Reports (neatness and content): 30%  Laboratory Test:  20%
	C. Field Work:
		N/A
	D. Other Evaluation Methods:
		N/A
	E. Grading Scale:
		A    93 - 100  B+  88 - 92 B     83 - 87  C+  78 - 82 C    70 - 77 D    60 -  69  F    Below 60
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).  Individual departments/programs/disciplines, with the approval of the vice president of Academic and Student Affairs, may have requirements that are more stringent.  Attendance is required to all lab sessions unless excused by the instructor.  Students missing more than four unexcused sessions will receive an "F" and no credit will be received.  Students tardy past half an hour will be considered absent.
	B. Academic and Classroom 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. Services for Students with Disabilities may be contacted by going to Goins 127 or 131 or by phone: 694-6751(Voice/TTY) or 539-7153.
