Students are expected to abide by the AC Technical Education "Code of Professional Conduct" at all times
Communication
The instructor will use AC email as the primary means of communicating with students. Students are responsible for email messages sent to their AC email account; thus, students are responsible for checking their AC email account. The instructor will only respond to emails sent from the student's official AC email account and that identify the applicable class in the subject line or first sentence of the email. Emails should be professional using proper spelling and grammar, if the student expects a response.
Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is vital. Any acts of academic dishonesty will be penalized severely. The instructor has a zero tolerance policy in regard to academic dishonesty.
Each student's grade will be based upon their performance on each of the course sections. There course has 3 sections as follows:
Grading Section Percentage
Participation 40%
Performance Evaluations 20%
Attendance 40%
Grading Scale: A = 90 to 100, B = 80 to 89, C = 70 to 79, D = 60 to 69, F = Below 60
Participation
Students are expected to participate in class/lab. Class/lab participation includes: (1) asking relevant questions, (2) adding to class discussions, (3) participating in any group work, and (4) abiding by the Code of Professional Conduct.
Performance Evaluations
Students will receive a performance evaluation each day based on how well they execute the assigned task(s) after the instructor has offered instructions and demonstration. The level of expected competency will increase as the student develops the skill(s) through practice and coaching.
Attendance in a class is regarded as a requirement, and an obligation for learning. Please remember the deadline for dropping a class at AC is published in the official Amarillo College Schedule of Classes. If you stop attending class and do not officially drop the course by the deadline, you will receive an "F" for the course
The attendance in the course will be monitored through a time clock and/or sign-in sheets in the classroom/laboratory. Attendance will affect your grade. If a student is late for class or leaves early, the attendance grade for the day will be reduced by 25% or more, depending on the percentage of the class missed. If a student misses class, it is their responsibility to get the assignment(s) from a classmate and complete the assignment(s) by the due date. An unexcused absence (no prior call with a legitimate excuse) will result in a zero (0) attendance and participation grade for the day. Attendance records will be made available to potential employers upon their request.
I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE SYLLABUS AND THE SCHEDULE AS NEEDED. YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED FOR CHANGES EITHER ON THE COURSE WEBSITE OR BY EMAIL OR BOTH.
