1. Class attendance is calculated from the first officially scheduled class meeting through the last
scheduled meeting. Students may not miss more than 10% of the scheduled class time. Students may not miss more than (5) instructional hours of this course. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in the student being dropped from the course. The student is encouraged to refer to the Student Handbook for further information regarding the Drop Policy.

2. Students will be required to submit weekly assignments according to the learning projected
schedule to be counted present for the week. 3. Students enrolled in web-enhanced, hybrid, tele-tech, or on-line courses are expected to access their courses internet-based website regularly to check for announcements, additional coursework or assignments, and other important information. Assignments are to be submitted in accordance with the Course Calendar and/or Learning/Assignments Schedule, which are an integral part of this Syllabus. If the students fails to submit an assignment when due or misses an exam and does not contact the instructor in a timely manner (either in person, or email, or telephone), a grade of zero may be issued for the assignment or exam. Students enrolled in online courses are required to communicate with the instructor at least one time each week during the quarter by e-mail or telephone. In addition, students are required to respond to e-mail inquiries initiated by the instructor within 48 hours of receipt of such e-mail. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in the student being dropped from the course. The student is encouraged to refer to the Student Handbook for further information regarding the Drop Policy.

4. The student will be required to come to the Albany Technical College campus to take the
midterm and final exams. There will be no make up exams. Dates and times of the exams are on the projected learning schedule (calendar). 5. The student should check the on-line course calendar for the last day to withdraw without a penalty.

No assignments will be accepted late. The letter grade for a late assignment is a zero. Tests are objective and may consist of multiple-choice, fill in the blank, true/false questions, matching. Some tests may have diagrams to label.

4. An additional component to this course may require that each student submits a formal written paper using references available in the library media center. Some of these resources include: books, articles, and electronic resources (Galileo). Students will be directed to the library media center located in building B to access resources. Paper guidelines will be discussed by instructor. 5. All students are required to purchase a textbook and a workbook for this class.

6. The instructor will only reset ONE quiz online during the quarter for the students who may have
gotten placed offline.

7. Each weekly quiz is set for forty (40) minutes. Each minute over the forty minutes will result in
deductions of 5 points per minute off the quiz grade.

EVALUATION: The following grading scale will be utilized in the determination of the students course grade. Percentage of Points Earned 90 100 80 89 70 79 60 69 0 59 Corresponding Letter Grade A B C D F

The students knowledge of the material presented in this course will be evaluated based on the satisfactory completion of all assigned work. The student will also be examined on their knowledge of the objectives outlined in each Lesson, as presented in the Projected Learning Schedule, which is an integral part of this Syllabus. Interim Examinations may require the completion of written or on-line objective examinations, as well as completion of performance-based assessment instruments. A Final Examination will be administered to on-site and on-line students during the final week of regularly scheduled classes. The Final Examination will include a written or on-line objective assessment and a performance-based assessment. Additional evaluation instruments may be presented to the student at the discretion of the instructor. These evaluations may or may not become a part of the students final grade. A Final Examination will be administered to onsite and on-line students during the final week of regularly scheduled classes. The Final Examination may include a written or on-line objective assessment and a performance-based assessment. Cheating: If a student is found to have cheated on any coursework, which may include related to a project, which includes the Lab(s) and/or assessments, then all work submitted for that project may be considered to have been produced through cheating. The student will receive a zero for any work produced through cheating.
