Testing: |
|
|
Students are
required to take examinations on the day and time they are
scheduled. If special circumstances
require a test schedule adjustment, this must be worked out in advance
with the instructor. The highest three
exam scores (Exam 1, Exam 2, Exam 3, Optional Cumulative Final) will be used
when computing the student’s final exam average. If a student misses an exam (except for
prearranged circumstances with the instructor) a zero grade will be assigned
and the student should plan to take the optional cumulative final. |
|
|
|
|
|
The
instructor can be reached by telephone (see course outline for
appropriate phone number), e-mail, or written note left in
the Divisional Office (during the day) A-306C or the Evening Office
L-113. If there are extreme
circumstances (documentation may be required) that prevent a student from
taking a test according to the published schedule, use one of the above
options to contact the instructor before the next class. An arrangement for a special testing
schedule is solely at the discretion of the instructor. A student who waits for the next class
session to speak with the instructor will not be accommodated with a special
test schedule. |
|
|
|
|
|
It is the
student’s responsibility to finish an examination correctly and
completely. Therefore, when computer
Scantron forms are used as answer sheets, the student must use a Number 2
lead pencil and erase all stray marks completely. The burden of proper erasure is
at test taking time. Once the examinations are returned to the
students, there will be no grade adjustments made due to
inappropriate completion of the response form. |
|
|
|
|
|
Laboratory Work: |
|
|
Laboratory
assignments are hands-on productions that show the instructor that the
student can competently use specified software. It is important that the student attend all
lab sessions. The student should read
the scheduled assignment in the text prior to coming to lab class. |
|
|
|
|
|
It
is anticipated that students will spend at least four hours per week in the
free-time computer room perfecting their skills and completing their lab
assignments. The lab assignments are
required for grading. They must be
submitted on the assignment due date, and cannot be handed in late. Acceptance of late laboratory assignments is
solely at the discretion of the instructor. |
|
|
|
|
|
Homework: |
|
|
In
addition to any homework assignment given during class, it is a standing assignment that the student
read each chapter of the book prior to its discussion. Following the class discussion, the student
should reread the material and work with the exercises throughout the
text. It is anticipated that students
will spend at least 4-hours per week reading the text and working with the
exercises and supplemental resources. |

assignment. All work submitted should
