"Any student with a documented disability (e.g. physical,
learning, psychiatric, vision, hearing, etc.) who needs to
arrange reasonable accommodations must contact the
Disability Services Office at the respective college at the
beginning of each semester. Faculty is authorized to provide
only the accommodations requested by the Disability Support
Services Office." For questions, contact Donna Price at 713718-5165 or the Disability Counselor at each college. Also visit
the ADA web site at:
http://www.hccs.edu/students/disability/index.htm.
Faculty Handbook/Faculty Orientation is also available at
http://www.hccs.edu/students/disability/faculty.htm.
A lecture format is used and the employment of power point
slides and handouts will supplement the material where
needed. A more practical and basic format of explanation will
be employed so that the student will be able to obtain a basic
understanding of how information is utilized in the oil and gas
industry. Students are encouraged to ask questions and will be
expected to participate in class. It is therefore important for
each student to read the assignments and come prepared to
participate. If you miss a class you will be responsible to
getting the information missed.
