Students are expected to attend regularly all classes in which they are enrolled and to consult with the instructor when an absence occurs. If a student is unable to complete a course, it is the responsibility of the student to drop the course by the drop date listed in the academic calendar. Dropping a course is a formal procedure which the student must initiate; the instructor cannot do it. The Admissions Office processes adding and dropping of courses. The Admissions Office is located in the Student Services Center, Building S, Room S052.
Students who officially drop this course or withdraw from the college before the deadline will receive a “W” grade in this course. If a student stops attending class but does not officially drop the course through the Admissions Office, the student’s transcript will show a performance grade for the course, usually an “F.”
Students who will be absent from class for the observance of a religious holiday must notify the instructor in advance. Please refer to the college catalog section Attending Classes.
Your final grade will be determined using the following weights:
50 percent Homework
20 percent Unit of Study Project
10 percent Article Summaries
20 percent Attendance
The scale used to determine the final course grade is:
| 90 to 100 | = | A |
|---|---|---|
| 80 to 89 | = | B |
| 70 to 79 | = | C |
| 60 to 69 | = | D |
| 0 to 59 | = | F |
If an unforeseen emergency prevents a student from completing the work in a course, a grade of “Incomplete,” or “I,” will be given. The division dean must approve all “I” grades.
Cell phones are not appropriate in class.
