1. Testing Procedure:
   Students are evaluated primarily on the basis of tests and laboratory assignments. Each instructor must provide full details the first week of class via a syllabus supplement. A minimum of three tests is recommended. Tests will cover material presented in class. Tests are not to be missed without a valid excuse.
   
   
2. Laboratory Expectations:
   Lab attendance is required. Assignments will be given and must be completed and handed in at the designated date. The student is expected to turn in all required documentation for each lab.
   
   
3. Field Work:  N/A
   
   
4. Other Evaluation Methods:
   Class participation, quizzes and homework will also comprise the final grade for the course.
   
   
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. [NOTE: No differentiation is noted for excused/unexcused absences. These will be treated as an absence.] (Pellissippi State, 2004-2006 Catalog, page 83)
   
   
2. 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. (Pellissippi State, 2004-2006 Catalog, pages 62-63)
   
   
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. (Pellissippi State, 2004-2006 Catalog, pages 67-70)
   
   
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.
   
   
5. Other Policies:
   Students are expected to promptly attend all lecture and lab classes as assigned. If a class is missed, student must make up all work and get notes and/or handouts.
