Student Contributions

 

Attendance and punctuality are critical for successful progress in this course.  Each student is expected to study two hours outside of class for each hour in class, take an active role in lectures, laboratories, participate fully in group activities, and assume a self-directed approach to completing class work and home work.

 

Course Evaluation

 

Your performance will be evaluated by satisfactory mastery of the learning objectives listed above.  Chapter exams and a comprehensive final exam will be given during the course.  The point system below will be used to determine your grade:

 

All regular exams                                     300 points (3 exams 100 points per exam)

Laboratory work                                       10 points per lab

Final exam                                                                100 points

 

After your numerical grade has been calculated, your letter grade will be determined as a percentage of points possible:

A  90–100%         B  80–89%        C  70–79%        D  60–69%        F  less than 60%

 

Classroom Policies

 

Plagiarism, the representation of someone else's work as your own, or cheating on an examination will not be tolerated.  Either case will result in a grade of zero on work or examination in question.  Two or more infractions will be reported to the Dean of Instructional Services for disciplinary action.

 

Laboratory assignments are imperative.  Students must turn in completed assignments by appropriate deadlines.

 

Attendance will be taken during each class meeting.

 

Safety will follow general safety practices.

Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP)

 

Southwest Texas Junior College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). SACS requires that every institution develop a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). SWTJCs QEP is entitled Enhancing Critical Reading Skills. SWTJC enhances students' critical reading skills by implementing reading instructional interventions in the Gatekeeper classes (History 1301, Math 1314, and English 1301). SWTJC also facilitates reading skills improvement throughout the institution by providing reading tutorial support. For questions about the QEP, please contact Charles Garabedian or Rachel Rivera, QEP Co-Directors, at cagarabedian@swtjc.edu and rrivera17001@swtjc.edu, respectively.
