1. Lecture Testing Procedures:
   There will be quizzes to access knowledge and proficiency of the products used. There will be a comprehensive midterm and final test. Grades are determined based on a total points accumulated process using the scale provided below.
   
   
2. Laboratory Expectations:
   There will be a graded lab outcome for each section. Lecture and Lab attendance is required. Assignments will be given and must be completed and handed in at the expected date and time. All assignments turned in late will be reduced by 50%. No assignment will be accepted more than one week late unless approved in advance by the lab instructor. Students must sign the rollsheet daily in both lecture and lab to be counted as in attendance.
   
   
3. Field Work:   N/A
   
   
4. Other Evaluation Methods:   N/A
   
   
5. Grading Scale:

   93 – 100%	A
   88 – 92%	B+
   83 – 87%	B
   78 – 82%	C+
   73 – 77%	C
   65 – 72%	D
   Below 65%	F

1. 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.
   
   
2. 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.
   
   
3. Computer Usage Guidelines: College-owned or –operated computing resources are provided for use by students of Pellissippi State. All students are responsible for the usage of Pellissippi State's computing resources in an effective, efficient, ethical and lawful manner.
   
   
4. Accommodation 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.
