| 13. Attendance policy: | ||
| The State of Missouri has requested that the College emphasize Competency Based Education. This course will therefore be centered on gaining the required competencies and attendance will not be computed into the final grade. However, it should be understood that many of those competencies will be gained by activities in the classroom, so regular attendance is advised. Students are responsible for gaining on their own whatever skills they have missed by failing to attend classes and laboratory sessions. | ||
| 14. Number and type of tests or other evaluation methods: | ||
| This information is in the Classroom Policies adopted by this teacher, which will be found on the Internet at http://ee.stlcc.info/classpol.htm. Additional information is in the proposed Lesson Schedule at http://ee.stlcc.info/234/ee234skd.htm. | ||
| 15. Makeup policy: | ||
| No makeup assignments or tests are anticipated. Needs will be dealt with individually, with the severity of illness or other excuse taken into account. | ||
| 16. Grading policy and method of grade calculation: | ||
| This information is in the Classroom Policies adopted by this teacher, which will be found on the Internet at http://ee.stlcc.info/classpol.htm. | ||
| 17. Meaning of PR, I, U, W grades: | ||
| PR
= Progress, Re-enroll. Students
who
make progress in a course, but do not complete the predetermined
minimum amount of course work may, at the discretion of the instructor,
be given a PR.
This symbol represents no credits earned and
carries no grade point value. Students are permitted to take the course
again, but must pay tuition a second time.
I = Incomplete. This normally indicates students have completed a major portion of the work in a class and, for reasons approved by the instructor, are prevented from completing the amount of course work required during the regular college term. Students must complete the course work in the time frame established by the instructor, up to one calendar year, in order for the "I" to be changed to a letter grade. After one year the "I" will become a permanent grade on the academic record. With the consent of the instructor, the one year limit may be extended. U = Unsatisfactory. A symbol indicating the award of no credit and no grade points. It may be awarded only in courses approved for this purpose under guidelines developed by the College. W= Withdrawal. A transcript notation that reflects withdrawal. |
||
| 18. Withdrawal date and procedure: | ||
| Students
deciding to withdraw from a class are
encouraged to talk to the instructor first. To formally withdraw,
students should report to the campus Counseling Center office for
official authorization and then submit official forms to the
Admissions/ Registration office. To receive a grade of W for the
course, the withdrawal process must be completed prior to the end of
the College's twelfth week of classes. Late-start and short-term
courses (16 weeks or less) have different withdrawal deadlines. Contact
the Admissions/Registration office for appropriate dates.
At the end of the second week of classes (first week for summer and intersession sessions), students who have registered and paid for a class but are reported by the instructor as never attended will be withdrawn. Classes less than a full semester in length may have different administrative withdrawal dates. The class will be shown on the transcript with a grade of W, and students are not eligible for a refund of fees. After this period the instructor cannot withdraw students from class. It is always the student's responsibility to initiate a withdrawal. |
||
| 19. Expected student classroom behavior: | ||
| No
behavior is permitted which would detract from
the learning experience provided for other students in the class.
The College further states that on the average at least two hours of outside study and preparation are needed for each hour of regular classroom work. Additional information will be found in the "Student Handbook" available from the Admissions Office and online at http://www.stlcc.edu/FactFinder/index.html. Additional information is also in the Classroom Policies adopted by this teacher, which will be found on the Internet at http://ee.stlcc.info/classpol.htm. |
||
| 20. How to get help outside the classroom: | ||
| Additional help is available in the Engineering Technology Center, the Campus Library, and various counseling and advising offices around the campus. Certain specific information may be provided by the teacher (see number 4. above). | ||
| 21. ACCESS statement: | ||
| The ACCESS
OFFICE (call 513-4551):
disAbility Support Services has been
designated by the college as the primary office to guide, counsel and
assist students with disabilities. If you receive services through the
ACCESS OFFICE and require accommodations for this class, make an
appointment with the teacher as soon as possible to discuss your
approved accommodation needs. Bring your Instructor Notification Memo
provided by the ACCESS OFFICE to the appointment. I will hold any
information you share with me in strictest confidence unless you give
me permission to do otherwise.
If you have not made contact with the ACCESS OFFICE and have reasonable accommodation needs (volunteer notetaker, extended time for tests, seating arrangements, etc.), I will be happy to refer you. The ACCESS OFFICE will require appropriate documentation of disability. If you have a disability and have no need for accommodations, the use of the ACCESS OFFICE is voluntary. |
