Makeup Policy

Students are responsible for getting notes from other students when absent. Lab activities will continue on schedule. Individuals will not receive credit for making up activities and there will be NO special lab sessions. Some work can be caught up during regular lab times. Missing lab activities may prevent individuals from completing lab projects.

Homework : Textbook, Workbook, Lab Reports and Final

Textbook: Required reading is to be completed prior to class, this will better prepare the student for the in class discussion on the subect matter covered in the reading.

Workbook: At the end of each chapter workbook problems will be assigned these work books will be graded with a project rubric.

Lab Reports: Before a project can be started a detailed lab report (process plan) will be written by the student. This graded report will contain such items as materials, procedures, apperance/organization. Other graded items will include spelling, punctuation and grammer. This lab report is part of the students homework and must be completed and graded by the instructor before a project is started. If a student does this in class they will lose valuable lab time and may not be able to complete the project in the alloted time. If a student starts or completes a project without an instructor signed lab report the student will recieve a failing grade for that project.

Final Exam and Project: A comprehensive final exam along with a final project will be administered. Failure to take the final exam or complete the final project will result in the student recieving a failing grade for the class.
