ASSIGNMENTS:
Problems assigned from the textbook and special problems are taken up periodically
and graded. Each homework assignment will be taken up on the next class day. Late
homework is not accepted after due date.
A lab make up is not given for an unexcused absence. Students having an
excused absence can make up only one missed lab toward the end of the
semester after consulting the instructor regarding the schedule.
MAKE-UP EXAMS:
No make-up exams. If an exam is missed, the final automatically counts as two
exams. Should you miss more than one exam, you will be administratively
dropped from the course.
WITHDRAWAL/ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Withdrawal from the course after the official day of record (see current catalog)
will result in a final grade of “W” on the student transcript and no credit will be
awarded. Prior to the official day of record, it is the student’s responsibility to
initiate and complete a request for withdrawal from any course.
.
Attendance – Students are expected to attend all classes. Texas state
guidelines and HCCS policies require that student with more than 12%
absences be withdrawn from the class. Effectively, students are subject to
withdrawal when 3 classes are missed in the summer sessions and 4 classes in
the regular semester. Three late arrivals or three early leavings will count as one
absence. Attending class and paying attention is the key to a good grade. Stay
current in your studies – be prepared for lectures. Class participation will be
monitored and often adds to the course. Please do not hesitate to contact me if
you are struggling with the class.
Academic Responsibility:
Please refer to the Student Handbook concerning grievances, complaints,
discipline (including student conduct), scholastic dishonesty and student rights. .
Students with Disabilities – Any student with a documented disability who
needs to arrange reasonable accommodations must contact the Disability
Service Office (713 -718 – 5422) at the beginning of each semester.
Student Discipline – “Adult behavior is expected. Disruptive behavior/activities
which interfere with teaching and/or learning will not be tolerated, and may result
in an administrative withdrawal without refund”
Electronics in the Classroom – All cellphones and other electronic devices
must be turned off .
Schedule of Chapters
The instructor reserves the right to change/modify the syllabus, should
there be any conflict with the schedule or policy of the college.
