I. POLICIES AND PROCEDURES Methods of Instructional Delivery This course may be presented utilizing traditional and distance learning delivery methods. For web-enhanced, hybrid, or online courses, students are expected to access their internet-based course site regularly to check for announcements, additional coursework or assignments, and other important information. Please read the applicable definition of this course type below. Definitions of Course Type Online Course: In an online course, all instruction, assignments, projects and research is conducted 100% online using Internet access and the Blackboard learning management system. Any on-campus requirements for an online course will be clearly indicated in the course syllabus. An online instructor may require no more than two on campus sessions to present guest speakers, conduct specialized lab, administer tests, or to provide other learning opportunities that can only be conducted face-to-face. Online course expectations are equal to that of its traditional format. All course work is submitted online via the Blackboard learning management system. Web-Enhanced: Web-enhanced courses are traditional classroom courses that use Blackboard to supplement instruction. A webenhanced course is assigned to a classroom for every contact hour described in the course catalog. Students may be required to use the Internet to interact with one another and the instructor, to review content, do research, complete and/or submit assignments, or take tests via Blackboard. Internet-based supplemental content, assignments, or research links may be assigned to reinforce in-class instruction, for class or individual projects or assignments, or for out-of-class personal enrichment. Internet-based content will include the Syllabus, assignment schedule, instructor contact information, textbook and required reading information, and Internet-based supplemental content or research link are located within Blackboard. Hybrid: Hybrid courses are taught partially via Blackboard and partially via the classroom. A Hybrid course does not meet in a classroom for every contact hour described in the course catalog. Hybrid courses will be designated as to whether the course is delivered via distance learning for the greater or lesser of 50% of the contact hours described in the course catalog. The assignment or learning schedule shall provide for detailed assignments for each class day, and adequate records will document that either more or less than 50% of the course was delivered via distance learning. Lecture/Lab: Lecture/lab is a class that meets weekly on campus for a specified number of hours that may have some lecture and some hands-on components but does not require a separate time like a traditional lab. OBI/Clinical: This course provides supervised clinical experience in various clinical settings as well as opportunities to demonstrate critical thinking skills and assessment-based management techniques through competency based evaluations relevant to the practice/program. II. ATTENDANCE Student Attendance Policy Regular attendance is considered essential for successful completion of a course. Therefore, students are expected to be punctual and attend all registered classes (online, face-to-face, hybrid), laboratories, and clinical sites as scheduled. Instructors will keep an accurate record of class attendance. Class attendance is calculated from the first officially scheduled class, lab, or clinical meeting through the last scheduled meeting. A student that misses in excess of 10% of the total class, lab, or clinical meeting time, maybe administratively withdrawn from the course(s) at any time during the semester or term for violation of the attendance policy. Students are advised that due to program accrediting requirements and other factors, some programs may have additional attendance guidelines. If the student’s attendance record after the 60% mark had passed indicates that he or she has missed an excess of 10% of class, lab, or clinical meetings, under the satisfactory academic progress policy, the letter grade “F “will be issued. Any student arriving late for class, lab, clinical or leaving early before the scheduled ending time will be marked tardy. Three tardies are equivalent to one absence from class. However, due to program accrediting requirements and other factors special attendance policies may be required for some programs. Students anticipating an absence or tardiness should contact the instructor at least 24 hours in advance of absence. If the student misses class, lab, or clinical meeting they should (a) provide the instructor with appropriate documentation indicating the reason for absences; (b) request make-up assignments from instructor(s) upon returning to class, lab, or clinical; and (c) if the instructor grants the opportunity, the student should complete make-up work within the time frame allowed by the instructor. Note: It is the student’s responsibility to request make-up work. Make-up work may be allowed at the discretion of the instructor. Online Course Attendance Procedure: Attendance is directly tied to academic performance; therefore, regular attendance in an online course is required, and attendance is recorded using a designated weekly attendance assignment. Students who DO NOT participate in an online course by completing the designated weekly attendance assignment during any given week will be sent an attendance warning notice via ATC student email. The attendance warning notice informs students that they must participate in the next designated weekly attendance assignment. Students who DO NOT participate in their course(s) for any two consecutive weeks may be sent a dismissal email and may be withdrawn from their course(s) at the discretion of Instructor. Registration for an online course presupposes that the student will attend/fully participate in all online activities. Each student is responsible for meeting all course requirements. Attendance requirements will be strictly enforced. A student could do all assignments, tests, and other coursework except the designated weekly attendance assignments and still be marked absent, and possibly be administratively withdrawn from the class for absenteeism, under the same guidelines for attendance in a non-online course. **Special Note: The date of last attendance will be calculated for final grades, satisfactory academic progress, and/or financial aid. III. STUDENT EVALUATION Quality of Student Work Use of proper grammar, correct spelling, and writing principles are expected in all work. Full credit may not be granted for work that contains grammar or spelling errors. Evaluation: The following grading scale will be utilized in the determination of the student’s course grade. Percentage of Points Earned 90 – 100 80 – 89 70 – 79 60 – 69 0 – 59 Corresponding Letter Grade A B C D F The student’s knowledge of the material presented in this course will be evaluated based on the satisfactory completion of all assigned work. The student will also be examined on their knowledge of the objectives outlined in each Lesson, as presented in the Projected Learning Schedule, which is an integral part of this Syllabus. Interim Examinations may require the completion of written or on-line objective examinations, as well as completion of performance-based assessment instruments. Additional evaluation instruments may be presented to the student at the discretion of the instructor. These evaluations may or may not become a part of the student’s final grade. A Final Examination will be administered to on-site and on-line students during the final week of regularly scheduled classes. The Final Examination may include a written or on-line objective assessment and a performance-based assessment. Calculation of Final Grade Discussions/Skill Checks –20 % Chapter Tests–30 % Professional Development – 10% Final Exam –40 % All incomplete course-work will be evaluated at the discretion of the instructor. Also, five points will be deducted for each day an assignment is late; if approved by instructor. Assignments will not be accepted that are more than five (5) days late. A grade of zero (0) will be assigned for work that is not submitted. The Final Exam is required and must be taken on the dates it is made available. If the student misses the Final Exam on the scheduled date(s), the student will receive a zero as the exam grade. Student Responsibility Student responsibility occurs when students take an active role in their learning by recognizing they are accountable for their academic success. Student responsibility is demonstrated when students make choices and take actions which lead them toward their educational goals. Responsible students take ownership of their actions by exhibiting the following behaviors: • Students should demonstrate and maintain academic integrity and honesty. • Students should attend and participate in classes, labs, and workshops, and be prepared and on time for class and/or lab sessions. • Students should complete the assigned work in a timely manner with attention to quality of work. • Students should avoid making excuses for their behavior. • Students should communicate in a careful and respectful manner with all instructors, peers, staff and other members of the college community. • Students should be engaged learners who dedicate at least 2 hours of study time outside of class for every one-hour of class attendance. • Students should be active participants in cultivating their personal growth and development through academic, civic and social engagement through appropriate service learning experiences. • Students should act in a civil manner that respects the college learning/social environment and complies with college policies outlined in the student handbook and college catalog and all local, state and federal laws. • Students should seek and utilize college resources and accommodations when needed. • Students should respect and approach diverse views, ideas and opinions of others with an open mind. • Students should identify, develop, and implement a plan to achieve their educational and career goals. • Student should leave classroom and lab areas in good order. • Students should respect property of others, and the property, equipment and facilities of the college. • Students should refrain from actions that endanger the health, safety, or welfare of any member (including themselves) of the college community or its guest and bring discredit to themselves and/or the college. Work Ethics The Technical College System of Georgia instructs and evaluates students on work ethics in all programs of study. Ten work ethics traits have been identified and defined as essential for student success: appearance, attendance, attitude, character, communication, cooperation, organizational skills, productivity, respect, and teamwork. Formal assessment of work ethic knowledge will be completed in an introductory and/or capstone course for each program. At the discretion of the instructor, the Work Ethics traits may be introduced and integrated into a portion of the curriculum of all courses. Formal instruction of the ten Work Ethics traits will be introduced in a designated entry level course in each program. Instructors will determine how the Work Ethics instruction will continue to proceed through the entire program. The Work Ethics traits will be emphasized formally again in a designated capstone course in the program.

Career Portfolio Each program at Albany Technical College requires that students complete a program-specific Career Portfolio prior to graduation. A completed portfolio is one of the requirements necessary to apply for graduation. Program advisors and Career Services staff are required to periodically review and evaluate the Career Portfolio. Each program has specific requirements as to what the career portfolio should contain. Ultimately, a career portfolio will contain necessary documents to gain employment (resume, cover letters, goals, transcripts, etc.) as well as samples of work capabilities (classwork/projects). Portfolio creation can be broken into three phases: Phase I contains resume, cover letters, goals, etc.; Phase II contains samples of work, evaluations, awards, etc.; and Phase III contains graduation application, transcripts, certifications, etc. The on-campus Career Development Center hosts multiple workshops to aid in the creation of the portfolio. Notification of scheduled workshop events are sent through the student email system. Program instructors may assign specific elements of the career portfolio to be submitted for a grade, or mandate attendance at a career services workshop. Career Services staff will review the completed portfolio, in a hard copy or electronic version, and sign the Portfolio Creation form. The student will provide the program advisor with a copy of this form, and the student will retain a copy. The student will retain his or her Career Portfolio, to present during the job interview process. Remediation/Enrichment If you need tutoring in this course, please contact your instructor as soon as you feel you would benefit from tutoring. Tutoring is a free service provided by the college.
