GENERAL GUIDELINES
1. Class and laboratory attendance is required. Students with 3 or more absences are eligible for
administrative withdrawal.
Tardiness? Be present for the class or laboratory session as close as possible to the scheduled starting
time. The time of arrival is particularly important for Laboratory as instructions are provided
concerning the activities for the session. If you are late, particularly during lecture, enter the room
and quietly take a seat to avoid disrupting the class.
2.
Exams: Students are expected to participate in all scheduled examinations. If a student misses a
scheduled lecture exam for whatever reason, the makeup exam will be conducted the last week of
the semester. The format of the examination will differ (i.e. fewer questions, true-false and
matching questions) from the objective format of the scheduled examination. If a student arrives
late for a scheduled examination they will have only the time remaining from the official start of the
exam. Should a student arrive at the examination after the first examinee has turned in the test
materials, they will have to take an alternate examination. Laboratory examination make-ups will
be determined on an individual basis.
3.
LABORATORY. Students are expected to abide by the rules of safety at all times during the
laboratory exercises. Students work in groups during the laboratory sessions, but individual
participation is expected in completion of laboratory reports. These reports are to be completed
and turned in at the following laboratory session or when requested. A grade will be given for
each report. To encourage timely submission of laboratory reports points will be deducted if they
are turned in at the time of the laboratory examination.
4.
SCHOLASTIC DISHONESTY DURING EXAMINATIONS. A verbal warning will be promptly
issued if dishonesty is suspected with a possible F entered for the test grade. If it should become
a chronic and persistent problem the student will be advised to withdraw from the course.
5.
STUDENT CONDUCT. Abusive language or disruptive behavior by a student(s) will not be
tolerated. If such situations arise, Spring Branch Security will be immediately notified and an
appropriate action taken. Absolutely no talking in the class without permission.
6.
Note: Student handbook-Important information for all students that is available on the Houston
Community College web site. Also contains the mission statement of the Houston Community
College.
7.
Turn off all pagers and cell phones in the class and laboratory. Laptops can only be used by
permission of the professor. These instruments are distracting to others in the room and may
interfere with cardiac pacemakers.
8.
DISABILITIES. Students with disabilities should consult with the Disability Counselor as soon as
possible so that an accommodation plan can be drawn up and implemented.
Available for academic advisement.
9.

10.
TASP. All students must have taken the TASP test or similar examination before attempting any
college level credit hours. If you have not been tested see the counselor immediately.
11.
CORE CURRICULUM. Essential to the learning process are six basic intellectual competencies.
Among the objectives covered in this course the following components will be addressed such as
reading, writing, speaking, listening, critical thinking and computer literacy.
12. *
If a student lacks the prerequisite for this course they should meet as soon as possible with the
Instructor to determine the exact status of this situation.
*Evaluation for Greater Learning Student Survey System - EGLS3
At Houston Community College, professors believe that thoughtful student feedback is necessary to
improve teaching and learning. During a designated time, you will be asked to answer a short online
survey of research-based questions related to instruction. The anonymous results of the survey will be
made available to your professors and division chairs for continual improvement of instruction. Look for the
survey as part of the Houston Community College Student System online near the end of the term.
