Final grade scale: 

Grading is weighted per assignment type and is point driven. The maximum number of points may vary semester to semester.  Your total earned points per graded course element will be divided by the maximum number of points graded course element. The calculation from each element will be multiplied by assigned weighted percentage and then added together for a total grade.   

A = > 89.5

B = 79.5 – 89.49

C = 69.5 – 79.49

D = 59.5 – 69.59

F = < 59.49

Grading scale has already allowed for rounding up.  No more rounding up will be allowed.

Late work policy: 

• No late work accepted! No excuses!
• No make-up or redo assignments (unless instructor initiates for all students)

SEE CANVAS FOR THE COMPLETE COURSE CALENDAR, OUTLINE, DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF GRADED WORK, AND OTHER RELATED MATERIAL.

COURSE POLICIES

Academic Integrity Policy: 

Scholastic dishonesty shall include, but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, academic falsification, intellectual property dishonesty, academic dishonesty facilitation and collusion.  Faculty members may document and bring charges against a student who is engaged in or is suspected to be engaged in academic dishonesty.  See Student Handbook, “Student Rights & Responsibilities: Student Conduct ([FLB(LOCAL)]”. 

Students found: 

• Sharing lab files - If you are the individual sharing a file, it is considered collusion which is considered Academic Dishonesty.)
• Plagiarizing a lab project – For example: using a template from a website
• Utilizing AI/Natural Language Programs (NLPs)/Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT or any other AI composition software (Turnitin does detect AI programs and violation of this policy will be considered an academic dishonesty/integrity issue)
• Cheating on exams or cheating on practicum exams (exams are closed book as well all browsers and other devices)
• Taking exam outside of classroom without instructor permission (this does not pertain to online students since they take their exams outside the classroom) will potentially receive an “F” for the course and a report turned in the Dean for Scholastic Dishonesty.

Consequences for academic dishonesty may include:

• An “F” for the course
• Scholastic Dishonesty report
• Zero on assignment

Attendance Policy:

Regular and punctual 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. From Board Policy FC (LOCAL)

NCTC drops students who have not attended class before the “Official Date of Record” when rolls are certified.  Students in face-to-face, hybrid, synchronous or asynchronous online must attend class or complete assignments outside of class each week to count toward attendance.  Logging into Canvas does not constitute class attendance.

Completion of assignments and logging in to Canvas to access assignments will count toward attendance.

Students absent (excused or unexcused) for 5 of 16 week or 3 of 8 week semester may receive an “F” for the course or be dropped from the course.

Withdrawal Policy

A student may withdraw from a course on or after the official date of record. It is the student’s responsibility to initiate and complete a Withdrawal Request Form.

Labor Day Holiday – College Closed:  September 4

Last day to withdraw from the course with a “W” is:  November 6, 2023

Thanksgiving Holiday – College Closed:  November 22-26
