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) (80%) (10%) (10%) The number of tests vary from 5 to 7 at the discretion of instructor. The quizzes and homework percentages depends on the 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:
		N/A
	E. Grading Scale:
		91-100 : A 77-81 : C+ 87- 91 : B+ 70-77 : C 81- 87 : B 60-70 : D
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.
