STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES (From Academic Course Guide Manual/Workforce Education Course Manual/NCTC Catalog)

GRADING CRITERIA

Within the First Week of Class it is expected that you complete the Pre-Course Requirement. If you do not Complete these Requirements by Monday after the start date, you will be dropped from the course. If you do not complete an assignment for the week it is due, you will be considered absent. Late assignments are not accepted. If you miss a due date for an assignment on the third time, you will be dropped from the course.

Since this is an online course, turning in assignments on time is considered punctual attendance. Therefore, because the internet can be unreliable on some days, watch the weather. Turn assignments in early. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO DO THE ASSIGNMENT. IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING, GO AHEAD AND TURN IT IN. THE DROP BOX WILL ACCEPT A LATER SUBMISSION AND UPDATE THE BOX SO I SEE THAT ASSIGNMENT FIRST. 

Regular attendance is expected of all students in all classes for which they have registered.  All absences are considered to be 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.
