| V. Evaluation: | |||||||||
| A. Testing Procedures: 80% of grade | |||||||||
| The evaluation
in the classroom will be determined by a combination of tests, quizzes,
homework, final exam, and laboratory activities. Correct usage of English
is necessary (on tests, laboratory reports, or any other documents submitted
to the instructor), and will be evaluated. The percentage that each
of these factors count and the frequency of tests, quizzes, and homework
is left to the discretion of the instructor, but the following is offered
as a guide:
Tests and pop quizzes: 55% Homework: 5% Final Exam: 20% |
|||||||||
| B. Laboratory Expectations: 20% of grade | |||||||||
| The laboratory
grade will be determined by a combination of performance within the lab
(including teamwork) and the degree of preparation and comprehension demonstrated
in the lab report. The laboratory grade will not appear on the student's
transcript, but will be included in the course grade. There will
be typically twelve labs during the semester to go along with the classroom
material. The following is offered as a guide for the instructor:
Performance in labs 20% Lab Reports (neatness and content) 60% Laboratory Tests and Exam 20% Laboratory topics may vary, but will be related in a timely
manner to course work. Students must attend the laboratory sessions
to successfully complete the course. The following list of topics
is suggested:
|
|||||||||
| C. Field Work: | |||||||||
| N/A | |||||||||
| D. Other Evaluation Methods: | |||||||||

|||||||||
| 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.
Unexcused absences and class or lab work not made up in a timely manner may very well result in a reduced grade for the course or in failure of the course. It is the student's responsibility to be present when the instructor informs the class of attendance and work requirements, or otherwise the student must contact the instructor for this information. |
|||||||||
| B. Other Policies: | |||||||||
| The student is encouraged to read the regulations for student conduct in the PSTCC Catalog and Handbook. | |||||||||
