ATTENDANCE BACK TO TOP
Regular attendance of the course is expected. Failure to do so could have an adverse effect on the student’s grade. Any class material and assignments missed are the student’s responsibility. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you exchange names and phone numbers with a classmate. Excessive absences, as defined in the college catalog, could result in the student receiving a grade “F” for the course.
TESTING AND GRADING
Testing for this course will be conducted via Blackboard for the most part. However, should tests be administered during class, attendance at scheduled tests is mandatory. No make-up tests will be given without advance permission from this instructor. This permission will be granted only under highly unusual circumstances, which in the opinion of this instructor warrants such action.
Normally this instructor will assign only the grades A, B, C, D, or F. Special grades such as W, I, and R will be assigned only in those circumstances prescribed in the college catalog. The grade of “X” (audit) must be initiated by the student and will be assigned only when the student has attended class regularly. (Failure to do so will result in the instructor issuing the grade of “F”.)
WITHDRAWLS BACK TO TOP
Any Student may withdraw from this course without academic penalty within the first 60% of the session. Initiation of the withdrawal is the student’s responsibility and the grade of “W” will be awarded. The last day for withdrawal, without academic penalty, for this semester/session is July 08. Beyond this date dropping a course or failure to attend will result in the grade of “F” except under mitigating circumstances. Documentation of these circumstances is required AND a grade of “W” implies that the student was making satisfactory progress (passing) in the course at the time of the withdrawal.
SPECIAL NEEDS AND ACCOMMODATIONS
Please address with the instructor and special problems or needs at the beginning of the semester/session. If you are seeking accommodations based on a disability, you should provide a disability data sheet, which can be obtained from the Counselor for Special Needs.
