The Class Participation Grade is primarily based on attendance.
After 3 absences, the grade will drop to 90
4 absences, the grade will drop to 80
For each 2 absences after that, the grade drops 20 points
Students arriving more than 10 minutes late will be considered
absent. All absences, for whatever reason, will be counted.
There will be no Extra Credit Assignments.
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS: Conceptual questions and problems will be assigned for each chapter that is covered. These will be discussed during class sessions. It is very important that these assignments be completed outside of class. The questions and problems on the tests will be very similar to those on the assignments.
LABORATORY: The laboratory period may be used for performing experiments, problem sessions, or test taking. Each experiment will involve the setting of apparatus, taking and analyzing data and completing a laboratory report. The reports will be graded and the average of all reports and assignments will constitute your laboratory score. There will be no make-up labs for absences; one lab grade will be dropped.
CELL PHONES: Students using cell phones (including texting) is prohibited.
PHOTOGRAPHY: No photography in class.

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)
Regular attendance is expected of all students at all lectures and laboratory sessions. You may be dropped from the course for excessive absences (20% total or 2 consecutive weeks). All tests must be taken and all experiments must be performed at the assigned time. If you find that you must miss a test and have a valid excuse, notify the Instructor on the day of the test. To notify the instructor, use the NCTC email. If I do not respond to you, I did not get the email – follow up with a phone call. A make-up test may be taken at the discretion of the Instructor; failure to notify the instructor immediately will result in a grade of “0” for the test. If you wish to receive a “W” grade then you MUST go to the Registrar’s office and request to drop the course
Last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is _____November 9, 2017_______.
DISABILITY SERVICES (Office for Students with Disabilities)
The Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) provides support services for students with disabilities, students enrolled in technical areas of study, and students who are classified as special populations (i.e. single parents).
Support services for students with disabilities might include appropriate and reasonable accommodations, or they may be in the form of personal counseling, academic counseling, career counseling, etc. Furthermore, OSD Counselors work with students to encourage self-advocacy and promote empowerment. The Counselors also provides resource information, disability-related information, and adaptive technology for students who qualify.
If you feel you have needs for services that the institution provides, please reach out to either Wayne Smith (940) 498-6207 or Yvonne Sandman (940) 668-3300. Alternative students may stop by Room 170 in Corinth or Room 111 in Gainesville.
