As a student you may experience a range of issues that can cause barriers to learning, such as strained relationships, increased anxiety, alcohol/drug problems, feeling down, difficulty concentrating and/or lack of motivation.

Department Expectations:
All students in Technical Education are expected to abide by the Professional Code of Conduct. A copy is available on the main content page of the Blackboard course. Students will not be able to attend courses if not in compliance by the third class day.
Communication
The instructor will use AC email as the priary means of communicating with students. Students are responsible for e-mail messages sent to their AC email account; thus, students are responsible for checking their AC email accounts. 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. Further, emails should be professional using proper spelling, grammar, style and format, 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.
Respect
Students are expected to display a professional level of respect at all times toward their peers/co-workers, immediate instructor, and any other AC staff.
Students will receive a letter grade according to the following criteria:
Professionalism: 20% (There will be a grading criteria)
Labs: 40% (There will be a grading criteria)
Exams: 20% (There will be a Mid-Term and Final Exam.)
Tests: 20% (Chapter or Section Tests)
A=90-100; B=80-89; C=70-79; D=60-69; F=Below 60.
In the event points earned equal a decimal value, the instructor will round up or down to the nearest whole number. 0.0-0.4 rounds down, 0.5-0.9 rounds up.
A grade of D (60) or better is required on the Final exam for successful completion of the course.
Attendance
Attendance is a requirement and will be counted in the 20% professionalism category of your grade. I treat attendance like an employer would, as much as possible. No call/no show - 0 points, Proper notification prior to absence via email or telling Instructor before absence occurs - 30 points, Late to class - minus 40 points. Leaving early from class - minus 40. The dead line for dropping a class at AC is published in the official College Schedule of Classes. If you stop attending class and do not officially drop the course by this deadline, you will receive an "F" for the course.
Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class. Please email me if you plan on missing or have a true emergency. This policy may seem strict, but it will prepare you to be a better employee in the future and that is my end goal.
