Lab and Testing Policy – W2010
All tests are scheduled. There will be NO writing outside of these scheduled times.
All students should arrive prior to the start time of the test. Absolutely NO tests will be handed out after the first student has completed the test. During the scheduled testing times, the lab will be closed to all students not scheduled to write during that time. There is a master testing schedule posted under Course
Information on Blackboard and in the lab. If there is a testing sign on the door and you are not scheduled, you are NOT to enter the lab.
Grade Policy

All Lab assignments and CLR Tests must be completed and by their due date

All labs must be physically demonstrated and explained in order to be signed off

Lab assignments for a CLR are to be signed off before attempting the CLR test.

CLR tests and quizzes must be attempted on the assigned date.

The CLR test will be given a penalty of 25 marks if the lab assignments are not signed off before CLR test. (i.e the test will be calculated out of 100 percent, then 25 marks will be deducted)

An incomplete Lab Sign Off Sheet will receive a grade of 0.
 All work must be genuine (no ‘sharing’ or copying of files or programs will be tolerated)

Copied work or work clearly not written by the student submitted as a lab will result in a 0 for the entire Lab Sign off Sheet or Assignment and may result in a submission under the Student Misconduct Directive
No extensions will be permitted except for valid medical reasons approved by the
