| V. Evaluation: | |||||||||
| A. Testing Procedures: | |||||||||
| Students
are primarily evaluated on the basis of test/quiz type assessments and
homework as outlined on the syllabus supplement distributed by the instructor.
The following formula is used to evaluate the course grade:
Course Grade = (0.75) x (Theory Grade) + (0.25) x (Lab Grade) Theory Grade = 0.80 (Tests + Quizzes + H.W. ) + 0.20 (Comprehensive
Final)
The number of tests vary from 5 to 7 at the discretion
of instructor.
|
|||||||||
| B. Laboratory Expectations: | |||||||||
| Ten experiments
are designed for the course. Each experiment requires a word-processed
report which must be at least spell-checked. Other procedures for
a standard lab report will be given by your instructor. No late lab report
will be accepted and there are NO lab make-ups.
Lab Grade = (the sum of report grades) / (the number of the reports) |
|||||||||
| C. Field Work: | |||||||||
| Site Visits: The necessary site visits will be announced as the arrangements are made. Evaluation will be based on of attendance as well as the visit report. | |||||||||
| D. Other Evaluation Methods: | |||||||||

|||||||||
| VI. Policies: | |||||||||
| 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. | |||||||||
