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. These mental health concerns or stressful events may lead to diminished academic performance or reduce a student's ability to participate in daily activities.

If you or someone you know are suffering from any of the aforementioned conditions, you can learn more about the broad range of confidential mental health services available on campus by calling the AC Counseling Center at 806-371-5900.

Amarillo College Tutoring for Success Policy:

Tutoring for Success applies to any student whose overall performance in the course falls below 75%. The instructor will create the task in the Student Engagement Portal (Watermark) to direct the student to the appropriate tutoring service, which may be faculty- or SI-led, discipline-specific, and/or general. The tutoring service assigned, the due date for when the tutoring must be completed, and the amount of tutoring required are at the discretion of the instructor. Additionally, the task will alert the student’s success team. Students who do not fulfill the assigned tutoring task may be subject to program- and course-specific penalties that could result in a grade reduction and/or in not being allowed to progress in the course until the tutoring requirement has been satisfied.

Administrative Drop Policy

Students who do not attend class on or prior to the census date will be administratively dropped. Effective Fall, 2016

Statement on State-Authorized Courses at Amarillo College

For-credit academic and workforce education courses offered at Amarillo College are limited to the course options available in the statewide inventory for two-year public institutions. Courses in the state-authorized lower-division Academic Course Guide Manual and Workforce Education Course Manual have specific descriptions that prescribe course content and may include specific student learning outcomes. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) maintains and regularly updates these manuals. Amarillo College faculty and leaders ensure that these courses are aligned with THECB guidelines and evaluated based on student performance outcomes. Students enrolled in these courses are expected to engage with and learn course content. According to the AC Board of Regents Policy Manual, "faculty members are entitled to academic freedom in the conduct of research and teaching and are tasked with the associated responsibilities" (DGC). Students are entitled to academic freedom in the classroom, as well, and faculty "must not attempt to force on students a personal viewpoint and must at all times allow diversity of opinion" (Amarillo College Academic Affairs Manual).

Expected Student Behavior

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.

Grading Criteria

Students will receive a letter grade according to the following criteria:

Professionalism: 20% (There will be a daily rubric outlining grading criteria)

Labs: 40% (There will be a rubric for each lab outlining 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

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.
