STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER FOR EACH LECTURE/DISCUSSION

GRADING CRITERIA

This is an online class. Your attendance is documented by the completion of assignments. It is important that you log in regularly and stay on task for this course.  If you feel you cannot complete the course, it is your responsibility to drop.  If you do not complete the work successfully and fail to drop this course, you will receive an F.

The last day to drop with a W is November 21, 2018.  If you feel you need to drop, schedule an appointment with Chester Brown, Fast Start IV Success Coach, to discuss your concerns.  Chester can be reached at 940-668-7731ext. 4912 or email cbrown@nctc.edu.  After meeting with Chester and you feel you still need to drop, please complete the necessary paperwork with the registrars’ office.

Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students in all classes for which they have registered.  All absences are unauthorized unless the student is absent due to illness or emergencies as determined by the instructor.  It is the student responsibility to provide documentation as to the emergency for approval and judgement by the faculty member.  Approved college sponsored activities are the only absences for which a student should not be held liable and only when provided by a college official ahead of the absence.  Valid reasons for absence, however, do not relieve the student of the responsibility for making up required work.  Students will not be allowed to make up an examination missed due to absence unless they have reasons acceptable to the instructor.  A student who is compelled to be absent when a test is given should petition the instructor, in advance if possible, for permission to postpone the exam.  Student will be dropped from a class by the Registrar upon recommendation of the instructor who feels the student has been justifiably absent or tardy a sufficient number of times to preclude meeting the course’s objectives.    Persistent, unjustified absences from classes or laboratories will be considered sufficient cause for College officials to drop a student from the rolls of the College.
