Responsibilities
The Faculty’s responsibility is to assist the learner in keeping focused on course topics to
ensure a successful learning experience, and to facilitate the class agenda, activities, and
maintain an adult environment.
The learner’s responsibility is to be prepared for learning activities and to participate in the
ongoing process.

Participation/Preparation
The learner’s degree of preparation, class attendance, independent homework
assignments, and participation in discussions will affect the learner’s level of success in
this course. The learner is expected to participate in class discussions and all group
work. It is assumed that each learner will have read all assigned readings prior to class
meetings. Oral presentations are mandatory. Learners are responsible for having the
appropriate textbooks and supplies.

Expectations and Marking Standards
Once you are an employee, everything you write or say will reflect the competency and
care with which you do your own work. It also will reflect the quality of work performed
by the organization itself, as you will be its representative. It is critical that your work be
technically competent and that it is accurate and knowledgeable. Consequently, all the
work done in this course will be assessed at an industry-standard level, so the learner

will know what is expected. The purpose of this course is to allow the learner to acquire
the skills and confidence necessary to perform well in the workplace.

Integrity of Learning Environment
Cell phones, CD players, MP3 players, other portable electronic communicating devices,
personal digital assistants (PDAs) or similar devices shall not disrupt class or lab. If
absolutely essential, cell phones may be left in vibrate mode for emergency purposes
during regular classes. In such cases learners are asked to respect the learning
environment of their fellow classmates and not answer calls in class.
No portable electronic communicating device is permitted during tests or exams. Any
learner who uses or attempts to use such a device for any purpose shall be asked to
submit their paper and leave the test or exam room immediately.

Illnesses and Absences
It is the responsibility of the student to makeup work missed as a result of any absence
and to determine their eligibility to write any tests missed during the absence as outlined
under “Evaluation” below.
Methods of Instruction
A variety of methods will be used, including but not limited to:
- short lectures
- demonstrations
- group work
- online and other research
- individual and group assignments
- individual and group projects


Illnesses, Absences and Test Make-Ups
Where a learner misses a test because of illness or emergency, and has informed
his/her Departmental Office (893-5312) by telephone on the morning of their absence,
then they may be eligible to write a make-up test. The make-up test will be held near the
end of the semester and it will cover the semester’s work. The mark received on the
make-up test will be used as the mark for the test that was missed.
If a test is missed, it is the learner’s responsibility to:
o Determine whether he/she is eligible to write the make-up
o Find out the date/time of the make-up test
o Determine the material to be covered on the make-up test

Tentative Schedule
Because every class is different, it is effective to tailor the pace, workload, and delivery method to the
strengths of the class. In a creative learning environment you should expect some variations from this
