assignments will be collected.
Grading (credit) criteria: Exams:
7 exams at 100 pts. apiece……………………………………..700 pts.
1 comprehensive final exam…………………………………...200 pts.
Labs
15 at 20 points apiece…………………………………..……...300 pts.
1,200 pts.
The letter grades will be assigned as follows.
A = 1,080 – 1,200 pts. B = 960 –1,079 pts. C = 840 – 959 pts. D =
720 – 839 pts. F ≤ 719 pts.
Labs:
Exams:
Labs will be graded based on the quality and completeness of the lab.
Exams questions will come, in part, from the labs. When you are
completing a lab you are studying for the exam so make sure to do a
stellar job!
The exams will be closed book and will consist of material covered in
lecture and lab.
Grading Policy: My official grading policy is that all assignments will be graded and
returned one week after they are due. However, most of the time it will
be much sooner than that.
Absences: To receive full credit labs must be turned in on time. Students may turn
in labs up to one week past the due date; however, you will receive half
credit for the lab. Exams can be made up with instructor permission
only. If the student misses an exam the excuse must be accompanied by
documentation. (ie, Doctor’s excuse) No individual extra credit work
will be assigned.
4. 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 YavapaiCounty. 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 LearningCenter is 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
Online resources and
services:
Online writing tutoring for any academic subject is available at
www2.yc.edu/content/learningcenters
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 October 15th
.
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 individual’s work as one’s
own or the act of seeking unfair academic advantage through cheating,
plagiarism or other dishonest means are violations of the College’s
“Student Code of Conduct.” Definitions of plagiarism, cheating, and
violation of copyright and penalties for violation are available in the
Yavapai College General Catalog. All cell phones must be stowed
before beginning an assessment. The presence of a cell phone on a
student’s desk during an assessment will be construed as cheating and
5. the student will receive an F for the class. Any incident of cheating or
plagiarism on any assignment in the class will result in the student
receiving an F as their letter grade for the class.
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
Conduct” outlines behavioral expectations, and explains the process for
responding to allegations of student misconduct.
Disability support services: YavapaiCollege is committed to providing educational support services
to students with documented disabilities. Academic support services or
accommodations for mobility impaired students must be arranged
through the ADA Coordinator (Prescott Campus: 928.776.2079 or
Verde Valley Campus: (928.634.6563).
Cell phone and pager: YavapaiCollege is 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. No cell phones are allowed in the students
possession during any assessment. All cell phones and other electronic
devices must be stored in a place not immediately accessible to the
student during assessments.
Preventing Harassment:
Inclement Weather:
Students are expected to respond and write in a professional and
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 tolerated
and could result in a failing grade for the class. Students and faculty
each have responsibility for maintain an appropriate learning
environment. Students who fail to adhere to such behavioral standards
may be subject to discipline. Faculty have the professional
responsibility to treat all students with understanding, dignity and
respect, to guide classroom discussion and to set reasonable limits on the
manner in which they and their students express opinions. Professional
courtesy and sensitivity are especially important with respect to
individuals and topics dealing with differences of race, culture, religion,
politics, sexual orientation, gender variance and nationalities. All
correspondence between instructor and students and between individual
students must be of a professional nature. Any inappropriate language
(profanity) or correspondence of a threatening or harassing nature will
result in the student being immediately dropped from the class.
If the college has a delayed start due to inclement weather then the class
will be completely cancelled.
