Class Information

Methods of Grading and Evaluation: The student will be evaluated on the basis of his/her/its performance on the following"

Grading Scale
90	A
80	B
70	C
60	D
<60	F

Methods of instruction include lecture, small group work, and question/answer. Daily homework assignments will be given and graded, and students will be given an opportunity to ask questions about them. Students may sometimes present problems. Computer graphics and overhead transparencies may also be used. This course uses lab projects and Working Model software to provide hands-on experience solving engineering problems.

The fine print:

Institutional Policies

Attendance: : Students are expected to attend all scheduled class and examination meetings. Students are also expected to maintain satisfactory progress in each of the classes in which they are enrolled. Thus, whenever absences become excessive and, in the instructor’s opinion, minimum course objectives cannot be met due to absences, the student may, at the discretion of the instructor, be withdrawn from the course. If a student is withdrawn by the instructor for excessive absences, a grade of “WT” (withdrawn by teacher) will be recorded on his/her permanent record. Instructors are responsible for clearly stating their attendance policy and administrative drop policy in the course syllabus, and it is the student’s responsibility to be aware of those policies.

Procedural Clarifications:
1. Students should not miss class for any reason other than a college activity or an emergency, as determined by the instructor (i.e. , death in the family, health).
2. Student absences for approved college activities will not accrue as excessive absences.
3. Students will be allowed to make up work missed as a result of college approved activities.
4. Students will make up work before the absence for the approved college activity or within one week after returning to class. Students will check with each instructor prior to the absence to arrange for make-up times.
5. Activity sponsors will publish a timely list of students who will be absent because of an approved college activity.

Academic Honesty: Effective learning may involve differences of opinion and views between the student and faculty. Students are responsible, however, for learning the content of course of study outlined by the instructor, regardless of how the student feels privately. This attainment for content must be reached in an honest and forthright manner. Students who compromise the integrity of the academic process are subject to disciplinary action on the part of the college.
Students who have been accused of violating a standard of honesty may protect themselves with a series of appeal processes and are assured of due process and procedure. A student may appeal faculty and administration decisions concerning academic honesty. The first step is with the Division Dean, who, if necessary, may inform the student of further steps in the procedure. These can include appeals to the Vice President for Student Services and College President if the student deems this necessary.

Violations Include:
1. Cheating, in any form, whether in formal examinations or elsewhere.
2. Plagiarism, using the work of others as ones own without assigning proper credit to the source.
3. Misrepresentation of any work done in the classroom or in preparation for a class.
4. Alteration of any documents pertaining to academic records.
5. Disruptive behavior in a course of study or abusiveness toward faculty or fellow students.

Students violating such standards must accept the consequences which may include a failing grade, suspension or dismissal from the class or college.

Incompletes: If a student who has been making a passing grade cannot complete the work in a course due to illness (or other sufficient reason), at the instructor's discretion an "I" (incomplete) may be entered temporarily on the record. A course recorded as an incomplete must be completed within the first six weeks of the following semester (excluding summer) except when an extension of time is granted by the agreement of the appropriate dean and the instructor of the course. If this extension is not granted, the "I" is changed to an "F".

Policies given above are subject to change in the event of extenuating circumstances.

Instructor Policies

Late/Make up Work: Notify me in advance if you will miss a test. We can then agree on a suitable make-up time. If I am not notified in advance you may make up the test the last week of classes for the semester. The second time you miss a test without advance notification, that test becomes a 0. A late fee will be deducted for late homework; however the deadline for late assignments is 1 week past the due date. You are expected to take the FINAL exam at the College posted date and time.

Class behavior: Any student disrupting class, as determined by the instructor, may be asked to withdraw or take the class independent study.

Special Needs Statement: Anyone needing information concerning special needs should contact your instructor after class or the Special Needs Coordinator, at 322-3321 or 733-3321.

Departmental Policies

If a student enrolls in a class without the necessary prerequisite, that student may be dropped at the discretion of the instructor. Students who attend class, do the assignments, and follow instructor policies have the best chance for success in completing the course.
