Special Remarks:

1.

Points should be recorded on student’s calendar so at any time during the semester students can figure their own percentage.  The instructor may ask students for percentage figure by using formula above.

2.

Make up on quizzes and exams will only be made through arrangements prior to test day. All unit quizzes and/or exams will be announced prior to test day.

3.

Final grades will be based upon a composite of all quizzes and exam scores, assignments, and attendance.

4.

Attendance Policy:   Participation and punctuality enter into your final grade.  Absences in excess of 20% of total class time will result in being dropped from this class.

5.

Tardy Policy:  A student who is late three times (enters classroom after the instructor has taken roll) will be charged with one full absence unless the student can provide valid reasons for one or more of these tardies.

6.

You are expected to spend at least 1-2 hours of study time outside of class for each hour you are scheduled in class.  Anyone who enters the lab must have safety glasses on at all times.  They must also have the appropriate clothing and shoes on.

7.

The PCC Catalog for the year in which you started this program lists all general academic policies, procedures, and requirements relating to your enrollment and education.  It is your responsibility to read, understand, and follow that college catalog as it relates to you.
