Class participation: Participation in class discussion and lab activities are a required part of this class.
Missed exams or assignments: Students may make-up exams or assignments and receive a recorded grade when an excused absence(s) is documented by a note from the parent. Assignments not turned in on the assigned date will not be accepted and the student will not receive credit for that assignment.
Lab safety/health: It is the responsibility of the students to follow the training of safe practices in the Technology and Engineering Education Lab. The safety program, consists of more than lecturing and posting safety rules and regulations. It includes instruction that actively involves the students in learning and choosing behaviors that promote the safe use of equipment that is used in the Technology and Engineering Education Lab. The implementation and promotion of safe practices in the Technology and Engineering Education Lab to prevent incidents and injuries to students are the responsibility of everyone. It is the students responsibility to adhere to all safety rules and regulations within the classroom.
Academic dishonesty: Loss of credit for assignment or course may be appropriate in addition to other consequences. Restitution for loss or damage may be requested in addition to other consequences. Where appropriate, law enforcement officials will be involved.
Grading: The grading system for this class consists of letter grades based on an average for the assignment.
A (89.5-100%) - Outstanding level of achievement
B (80-89%) - High level of achievement
C (70-79%) - Satisfactory level of achievement
D (60-69%) - Low level of achievement
