Specific Activities
Performance Assessment
Each team will be directly observed through the process of construction and analysis of
the lab exercise. Verbal critique and suggestions are made to increase troubleshooting
skills and productivity.
Using the data acquired by the team, each member will write a report demonstrating an
understanding of the circuits. The reports are graded based on comprehension of the
electronic concepts and ability to communicate the information effectively.

Attendance policy
“A student is expected to attend all scheduled classes and laboratories. Students should
refer to each course syllabus to obtain the course attendance policies. A student who
misses class for two consecutive weeks without contacting the instructor or who violates
the instructor’s stated attendance policy will be administratively withdrawn form the
course and given a grade of “WF”. The college is not responsible for a student not
receiving official information, if the student failed to notify the college of any of the
changes stated above.” Nashville State Community College Catalog
“Class attendance and punctuality requirements are contracted between the
faculty and the students, through specific expectations for attendance and
punctuality and specific consequences that are outlined by individual faculty
members in the printed syllabus for each course. Students are expected to attend
classes regularly and on time and are responsible for giving explanations/rational
for absences and lateness directly to the faculty member for each course in which
they are enrolled. In cases where student absences are the result of emergency
circumstances (e.g., death in the family, a student’s serious injury or
incapacitating illness), for which students are unable to make immediate contact
with faculty, the student may contact the Dean of Students Office for assistance in
providing such immediate notification to faculty. However, the student remains
responsible for verifying the emergency circumstances to faculty and for
discussing arrangements with faculty for completion of course work
requirements.”
ADA compliance statement (from Student Handbook)
“Nashville State complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act. If you wish
to request any special accommodations for any courses in which you are enrolled,
contact the Student Disabilities Office. Such services must have proof of
documentation that is not over three years old. Contact the Disabilities
Coordinator at 353-3592.”
Academic and Classroom Misconduct
“Nashville State has a zero tolerance policy for disruptive conduct in the
classroom. Please consult your Student Handbook for more specific details. The
instructor has primary responsibility for control over classroom behavior and
maintenance of academic integrity. He/she can order temporary removal or
exclusion from the classroom of any student engaged in disruptive conduct or
conducts which violates the general rules and regulations of the College.
Disruptive behavior in the classroom may be defined as, but not limited to,
behavior that obstructs or disrupts the learning environment (e.g., offensive
language, harassment of students and professors, repeated outbursts from a
student which disrupt the flow of instruction or prevent concentration on the
subject taught, failure to cooperate in maintaining classroom decorum, etc.) the
continued use of any electronic or other noise or light emitting device which
disrupts others (e.g., disturbing noises from beepers, cell phones, palm pilots, laptop computers, games, etc.).”
