Assessments: Assessments for the class will include four in class, closed book,

exams covering the lecture material. The first three tests will be worth

lab notebooks will be collected and gradedfour times during the

semester. Lastly, there will be two lab practical exams that will cover

the material learned in the lab.

Grading (credit) criteria: Exams:

3 in class exams at 100 pts apiece .300 pts.

notebook and participation in group problem solving sessions.

Quizzes: The quizzes will cover the material covered in both the lecture and lab

portion of the class.

Exams: There will be three exams worth 100 points throughout the semester.

The fourth exam will be a comprehensive final exam.

Absences: There are no make-ups allowed for labs or quizzes. Exams can be made

up with instructor permission only. If the student misses an exam the

excuse must be accompanied by documentation. (ie, Doctors excuse)No extra credit work is allowed.

Student Resources (as applicable)

Library services: Library services are available at the Prescott Campus and the Verde

Valley Campus libraries. Both libraries are members of a countywide

library network, which provides access to a wide-range of information

and resources at libraries throughout Yavapai County. Possession of a

College library card entitles students to access materials housed at

member libraries. Instructors may place required course materials on

reserve in the library or make assignments that require the use of library

resources.

Learning Centers: A Learning Centeris available on the Prescott and Verde Valley

Campuses. These centers provide a variety of learning support for

students including tutoring, adaptive computer and equipment for

students with disabilities, and a networked general computer lab.

Tutoring: Call for details: Prescott 776-2085 or Verde Valley 634-6562

Instructor Procedures and Institution Policies

Attendance: Students are expected to attend and participate in all class meetings,

laboratories, and field trips. A student who expects to be absent due to

another school-sponsored activity or compelling personal reason must

make prior arrangements with the instructor. All course work must be

made up as directed by the instructor. A student who does not adhere to

instructor and College attendance requirements may be dropped from

the course as defined in the Yavapai College General Catalog.

Course withdrawal: After the drop/add period closes, students may withdraw until the

deadline for student-initiated withdrawals. Withdrawals result in a "W"

on the permanent transcript.

For semester-length classes 14 weeks in length or longer, the withdrawal

deadline is November 1 in the Fall semester, April 1 in the Spring

semester.

For classes of 4 days to 14 weeks in length, withdrawals are permitted

until the class is 50 percent completed.

For classes of 1-3 days in length, withdrawals are permitted until the

class is 50 percent completed.

A "Y" is noted on the permanent transcript for an administrative

withdrawal. More information can be obtained from the Admissions &

Registration Office.

Academic integrity: Honesty in academic work is a central element of the learning

environment. The presentation of another individuals work as ones

own or the act of seeking unfair academic advantage through cheating,

plagiarism or other dishonest means are violations of the CollegesStudent Code of Conduct. Definitions of plagiarism, cheating, and

violation of copyright and penalties for violation are available in the

Yavapai College General Catalog.

Student code of conduct: Respect for the rights of others and for the College and its property are

fundamental expectations for every student. The Student Code of

Valley Campus: (928.634.6563).

Cell phone and pager: Yavapai Collegeis committed to providing a quality learning

environment. All cell phones and pagers must be placed in a non-

audible mode while in classrooms, computer labs, the library, the

learning center, and testing areas. Cell phones and pagers must be used

outside these facilities.

Preventing Harassment:Students are expected to respond and write in a professional and


5/8

appropriate manner when activities are assigned to create scenarios,discuss opinions, present on a selected subject, or post to a web board.Inappropriate language or objectionable material will not be toleratedand could result in a failing grade for the class. Students and facultyeach have responsibility for maintain an appropriate learningenvironment. Students who fail to adhere to such behavioral standardsmay be subject to discipline. Faculty havethe professional responsibility

to treat all students with understanding, dignity and respect, to guideclassroom discussion and to set reasonable limits on the manner inwhich they and their students express opinions. Professional courtesyand sensitivity are especially important with respect to individuals andtopics dealing with differences of race, culture, religion, politics, sexualorientation, gender variance and nationalities.
