1. Testing Procedures:
   A minimum of two tests shall be given. These may include multiple choice, true/false, matching, short answer, essay questions, and demonstration of coding skill. There will be no make-up tests or quizzes unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor or the student produces documentation for a serious illness or family emergency.
   
   
2. Laboratory Expectations:
   Lab attendance is required. Required lab activities will be assigned each week and must be completed and submitted at the indicated date and time. Assignments turned in late will receive a deduction from the total points awarded.
   
   
3. Field Work: N/A
   
   
4. Other Evaluation Methods:
   Homework and in class group activities will occasionally be assigned to reinforce lecture topics. Grades on these assignments may, at the instructor's discretion, include a participation component. A case study integrating all concepts and techniques learned during the semester shall be completed by the end of the semester. Students will be given opportunities to work on components for this case study throughout the semester.
   
   
5. Grading Scale:
   Each instructor will explain the point system that he/she uses to arrive at the final grade. Grades will be assigned in accordance with the following scale:

   93 – 100% of total pts.	A
   88 – 92% of total pts.	B+
   83 – 87% of total pts.	B
   78 – 82% of total pts.	C+
   73 – 77% of total pts.	C
   65 – 72% of total pts.	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.]
   
   
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.
   
   
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.
