STUDENT REQUIREMENTS AND METHOD OF EVALUATION

1. Students will be expected to complete all lessons, exercises, and exams as

provided. Students will be awarded 0% for all work that is not submitted to the
Instructor.

2. Students will be evaluated by the level of competency attained as measured by

participation in the exercises.

3. Participation in online forums and discussions is crucial to the development of a

student's knowledge and skills. Student evaluation is therefore based upon
active class participation in addition to written assignments, and completed
projects; thus, student evaluation will be affected by class participation.

GRADING SCALE

Letter grades will be assigned based on the following scale:

90 - 100% = A
80 - 89% = B
70 - 79% = C
60 - 69% = D
0 - 59% = F

ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT GAIN

Pre-assessment ideally begins at the beginning of the course when the instructor and the student
determine through conference and observation the skill level of the student. Post-assessment to
determine gain in competency will be measured at the end of each unit of study and at the end of the
course.
Attendance Policy
Unless students are participating in a school activity or are excused by the instructor, they are
expected to attend class. If a student’s unexcused absences exceed one-hundred (100)
minutes per credit hour for the course, the instructor has the right, but is not required, to
withdraw a student from the course. Once the student has been dropped for excessive
absences, the dean of student services/registrar’s office will send a letter to the student,
stating that he or she has been dropped. A student may petition the chief academic officer for
reinstatement by submitting a letter stating valid reasons for the absences within one week of
the dean of student services/registrar’s notification. If the student is reinstated into the class,
the instructor will be notified. Administrative Withdrawals (AW) cannot occur after seventy-
five percent (75%) of the class has been completed.

Academic Integrity

NCCC expects every student to demonstrate ethical behavior with regard to academic
pursuits. Academic integrity in the classroom is a specific requirement. Consequences of
violation of the Academic Integrity policy can range from redoing the assignment for partial
credit to course dismissal at the discretion of the instructor. Definitions and examples of
Academic Integrity, as well as the appeals process, can be found in the College Catalog,
Student Handbook, and/or Code of Student Conduct and Discipline.

Cell Phone Policy

Student cell phones and pagers must be turned off during class times. Faculty may approve
an exception for special circumstances.

Note:

Information and statements in this document are subject to change at the discretion of NCCC.
Changes will be published in writing and made available to students.
